New 'Child of Eden' trailer: The most strangely beautiful, and profoundly trippy, video game ever?

Have you ever enjoyed a hallucinogen-fueled siesta in front of an HD screensaver at a day spa? Then you might know what watching the new Child of Eden trailer is like: an ethereal romp through space teeming with lasers and flying neon whales, the upcoming Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 game seems to combine elements of an aerial shooter with a psychedelic return-to-the-womb. And it’s expected to support Kinect and PlayStation Move, which would require physical motion on your part. Completely doable, as long as the trippy graphics and tranquilizing music don’t leave you wide-eyed and drooling, that is. READ FULL STORY »

This week's trailers: 'The Help,' '30 Minutes or Less,' 'The Change-Up' and more!

Categories: Movie Trailers

Looking for a little Help to Change-Up your Life in a Day, but only have 30 Minutes or Less to spare? Search no further than this week’s trailers! First off, rising star Emma Stone takes the lead in the big-screen adaptation of book-club staple The Help. Next Jesse Eisenberg, Aziz Ansari, and Danny McBride get caught up comic misdeeds in 30 Minutes or Less. Then Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman swap identities (Who gets the better end of that deal? Discuss.) in the new bodyswitcher comedy The Change-Up. And if you’re tired of watching movie stars have all the fun, take a look at the Ridley Scott-produced Life in a Day, a doc made entirely of footage of regular folks just like you and me. (Well, not exactly like me since there’s nobody in the trailer binge-eating Cadbury eggs while blogging about movie trailers, but you get the idea.) Check them all out after the jump!

'Bones': Is the Finder someone you'd watch every week (if he's shirtless)?

the-finder

Last night’s episode of Bones introduced “The Finder” Walter Sherman (Geoff Stults), a former military policeman who did two tours in Iraq and returned with brain damage that made him suspicious of everything and everyone — but also able to find anything and anyone because of it (or so he believes). The character could front a new Fox show this fall, alongside his legal adviser/bodyguard Leo (Michael Clarke Duncan) and bartender/pilot/systems analyst Ike (Saffron Burrows). Are you rooting for him? READ FULL STORY »

'30 Rock' and 'Community' both take walks down memory lane: Who did it better?

Community-042111

30 Rock celebrated 100 episodes with gas-induced hallucinations, flashbacks, and bouts of nostalgia last night. Considering there are five seasons of material to take from and millions upon millions of quoteables, I loved hearing the classic Donaghy logic (“It’s after six. What are we, farmers?”), revisiting vintage Crazy Tracy (“I am a Jedi!”), and even got excited at the sight of dumb Dennis Duffy. But its earlier Thursday night sibling may have delivered a smarter approach to the hackneyed TV trope.

Community defied convention yet again, by creating a clip show out of entirely new scenes posed as memories each character had from earlier episodes this season. READ FULL STORY »

Jim Carrey wants a job at 'The Office.' In a perfect world, which guest star would replace Michael?

Jim-Carrey

The Office‘s star-studded Season 7 finale just got a little more interesting. Last night, EW learned that Jim Carrey will appear on the hour-long episode that airs May 19, joining previously announced guests Ricky Gervais, Will Arnett, James Spader, Ray Romano, and Catherine Tate. All six will be playing potential replacements for the dearly departed Michael Scott, who’s set to leave Scranton in next Thursday’s installment.

It’s safe to say that none of these boldface names will be sticking around for much longer than one episode (or, more likely, a few minutes of screen time during which they’re each interviewed and summarily dismissed from Dunder Mifflin). Even so, we can dream of a magical world in which Gob Bluth, Ace Ventura, David Brent, or even Ron Burgundy became a permanent fixture at Sabre’s wackiest branch. Which one, though, would make the best World’s Best Boss? Vote in our poll to let us know who you’re rooting for most. READ FULL STORY »

'Water for Elephants,' 'Madea's Big Happy Family,' 'African Cats': What will you see this weekend?

Categories: Box Office Poll

This weekend, many families will celebrating either Easter and Passover. (Or both, although “Eastover” doesn’t have quite the ring of Chrismukkah.) But after you find all the eggs and afikomans, after you learn about people rising from the grave and bread not rising in the oven, after you stuff yourself senseless with grandma’s cooking (something all religions seem to agree on), maybe you want to catch a movie? If so, picking between the weekend’s three big releases might seem tough — until you take our fail-proof, one-question quiz. Ready? Here goes: READ FULL STORY »

Denise Richards talks Charlie Sheen on 'Watch What Happens Live': 'I don't know if he's sober or not.'

As we know, Denise Richards life is (colon) complicated. Of course, the fact that she’s still associated with ex-husband Charlie Sheen — with whom she has two children — doesn’t help simplify matters. So it’s no surprise Andy Cohen asked Richards about Sheen during Thursday night’s episode of Watch What Happens Live. Among topics discussed, Cohen asked Richards about Sheen’s “Violent Torpedo of Truth” tour, during which Sheen has repeatedly insulted the actress. Said Richards, “I think for me it’s really sad to see him on this path … I’ve heard he’s chosen to use me in part of his tour, and that’s hurtful, but that’s his choice.” Indeed, Richards has remained quite diplomatic discussing Sheen (“This is his lifestyle, and I’ve accepted it”), even offering to care for his children with estranged wife Brooke Mueller. Cohen also asked Richards whether or not she thinks Sheen is sober. Her answer: “I’m not with him … I don’t know if he’s sober or not.” See the interview embedded after the jump. READ FULL STORY »

Yesterday, we asked you to name your favorite superhero movie ever. Responses ranged far and wide, from box office bonanzas like Spider-Man 2 and The Dark Knight to beloved primordial oddities like Darkman and Unbreakable, to the big daddy that started it all: 1978′s Superman. Debates raged between various ranks of Batman fans: Tim Burton or Christopher Nolan? Live-action or Batman Beyond? One commenter argued that EW staff favorite Batman Returns isn’t even really a superhero movie at all, but just a weird movie about bizarre people that happens to occasionally feature a dude named Batman. (Hey, besides Hong Kong and the car chase, can’t you say the same about Dark Knight?) There was even a groundswell of support for Daredevil, which proves yet again that one generation’s travesty is another’s stealth masterpiece. We’ve tabulated the comments and come up with a definitive list of readers’ top 8 superhero films. It’s a diverse group — four DC movies, three Marvel movies, and one standalone wonder. Vote for your favorite in our poll after the jump… READ FULL STORY »

Joseph Gordon-Levitt tosses table on 'Conan' set in headbanging rage, Will Ferrell vows to shave Conan's beard: Watch!

Remember yesterday when we asked what the male equivalent was to Heather Morris’ sexy dance moves? I don’t think headbanging in a bad wig is it, but it is fun to watch if it’s Hesher star Joseph Gordon-Levitt destroying the Conan set. Gordon-Levitt, a longtime headbanger, showed Conan the art. “It’s a beautiful meditation of sorts, except it rocks,” he said. It also flips tables and breaks flower vases. (“Sorry I broke your show, Conan,” Gordon-Levitt said. Okay, maybe it’s sexy.)

Perhaps Gordon-Levitt really could stop Will Ferrell from shaving Conan’s beard off when he visits the show May 2. Watch Ferrell’s taped threat below as well. Will we miss the beard?  READ FULL STORY »
