This is pure awesomeness…or is it? I was a huge fan of Freddy Krueger in my youth and I can only hope that Michael Bay’s vision doesn’t F this one up. Bay’s remake plans include The Birds, The Tenant, Rosemary’s Baby…I might start crying if I continue.

I have faith in music video director Samuel Bayer, who’s done work for Green Day, Iron Maiden, Metallica, David Bowie, and many more. Jackie Earle Haley as Krueger is just great casting, but I don’t know how I feel about his look, or his voice. He sounds like The Waterboy meets Billy Bob’s character in Sling Blade.

Warner Bros. and New Line are currently planning to release A Nightmare on Elm Street April 16, 2010. For the Official Website click here.

Believe it or not, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs is a fantastic film.

Funny, fresh, original, inventive, and smarter than your average Shrek, this family comedy works on many levels. If you’re a fan of Andy Samberg’s SNL Digital Shorts, then you’ll appreciate the obscure humor that they managed to inject into this animated gem.

Don’t believe me? Fine.

Just take a look at the embedded promotional clip above and I’m sure you’ll see, this is a clear departure from the formulaic studio CG fests. And after you see it, shoot me an email so I can say, “Told ya so, pardner.”

“I’m telling you straight…it’s my way or the highway.”

Road House, Red Dawn, Dirty Dancing, Ghost, To Wong Foo…, Point Break.

Thank you, sir.

Like Caddyshack?

Like Tiger Woods?

You’re welcome.

Mark Romanek – director of the underrated One Hour Photo and dozens of the best music videos your eyeballs ever saw – helmed this commercial for ESPN a few years back.  Entitled “Makeshift,” this one-minute clip will make a sports lover out of anyone…and most likely, bring back a few memories from your childhood.

Romanek’s next film, Never Let Me Go, is slated for a 2010 release…and I cannot wait.  To visit his spectacularly moody website click here, and if you don’t own it already, do yourself a favor and purchase Director’s Series Vol. 4 – The Work of Mark Romanek…he’s a visual maestro.

I love me some Ms. Pac-Man.  It’s one of the few things I actually do well.

That being said, the above music video from The Go! Team is a Ms. Pac-Man fan’s wet dream.  Full costumed characters running through the city to “Junior Kickstart.”  As one YouTube commenter said, “This is what awesome is made of.”

Is it me…or is this the best damn thing Tom Hanks has EVER done?

I don’t care how many times I watch The Money Pit, this scene still makes me laugh out loud.  I love this man.

I’m not a Star Wars fanatic by any means…but man, does this make me laugh.

A lesson in comedic editing.

Too bad we didn’t find this piece of viral marketing before our (500) Days of Summer episode, but it’s never too late! Zooey Deschanel plays Sid, Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays Nancy, and Marc Webb directs the spoof on his own movie.  

Funny stuff here people.

Check out the trailer for Richard Kelly’s next flick, The Box.

Is Cameron trying to make a comeback? Has she ever impressed us aside from her performance in Any Given Sunday?
