'Star Trek Into Darkness' Clip Adds Volcanoes And Skin-Tight Suits

Posted 4/22/13 5:12 pm EST by in Video

The first clip from "Star Trek Into Darkness" debuted today over at AOL, and the bottom line is that even at a little over a minute long, the preview manages to be highly "Star Trek"-y in an awesome kind of way.

The basic set-up for the clip should be familiar to anyone who was able to catch the extended preview before "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" last year. Kirk and Bones just narrowly escaped that cliff jump you've seen one million times in various trailers and previews.

But that leaves Spock squarely situated in a highly active volcano and Kirk with one hell of a decision to make.

Check out the full clip from "Star Trek Into Darkness" above!

Posted 4/22/13 3:30 pm EST by in Humor

Last week, Patton Oswalt presented his now famed proposal for "Star Wars: Episode VII" and he won the internet. As is traditional on the World Wide Web, the slate is wiped clean every week for a new successor to take over this crazy series of tubes.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have our winner.

If you have heard of the internet, you probably know that last week, a sharply worded internal email from a sorority found its way out into the world, and we were all introduced to the term "c--- punt."

This week, Michael Shannon (via Funny or Die) continued the long tradition of dramatic reads with a take on this new email sensation. There's one thing you need to know about Shannon. The man cannot half-ass a role, and he makes no exception for internet memes.

Gatsby

Apart from the stunning visuals presented in the previews for Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby" adaptation, viewers have fawned over the film's stacked soundtrack, which includes original tracks from the likes of Beyonce, Jay-Z, and Florence Welch.

The song from controversial vocalist Lana Del Rey, "Young and Beautiful," however, was featured prominently in the third trailer and instantly struck a chord with people looking forward to the film.

A series of snippets, previews, and teasers of the movie's entire soundtrack have given us a little more for each of the songs, including "Young and Beautiful," but now the full song is available to stream online (via Vulture).

Tom Cruise's 'Oblivion' Effective Enough To Win Weekend Box Office

Posted 4/22/13 9:45 am EST by in Box Office, Poll

Oblivion

Tom Cruise has had a rough time at the box office in recent years. Aside from the "Mission: Impossible" franchise, the A-lister hasn't registered an opening weekend north of $30 million since 2005's "War of the Worlds."

That all changed with "Oblivion," which opened early overseas to strong ticket sales and debuted this weekend in the U.S. to $38 million. To date, the sci-fi actioner from "Tron: Legacy" director Joseph Kosinksi has banked $150 million.

But what did you think of "Oblivion"? The film, which also stars Morgan Freeman, Olga Kurylenko, and Andrea Riseborough, didn't exactly wow the critics, many of whom referenced a lack of originality.

Let us know your opinion in the poll after the jump!

Posted 4/19/13 3:00 pm EST by in Commentary

This weekend, "Oblivion" starring Tom Cruise opens in theaters across the U.S. Some critics are giving the movie, which has otherwise been lukewarmly received, the benefit of the doubt for being the rare sci-fi movie that isn't based on a book or movie.

While there is something to be said about the lack of sci-fi movie in theaters these days, there are much better examples of the genre from the past 10 years that may have slipped under your radar. Check out a sample below.

Posted 4/19/13 12:00 pm EST by in Video

Every piece of promotional material for "Star Trek Into Darkness" has stressed how bad of a dude Benedict Cumberbatch's character, John Harrison, is. Everyone says he's really dangerous and can bring down Starfleet from within, but is he really that bad?

Yes. Yes, he is, if this latest feature from Yahoo! UK is to be believed. In the fashion of Michael Shannon's recent "Man of Steel" teaser, John Harrison explains his plans for James Tiberius Kirk and the crew of the Starship Enterprise.
