This weekend, the romance of "Valentine's Day" succumbed to the horror of "Shutter Island," Paramount's newest thriller from director Martin Scorsese and star Leonardo DiCaprio. "Shutter Island" easily took the box office's first place prize with a $40.2 million haul, but DiCaprio and Scorsese didn't just top the other box office competitors — they also topped themselves.

FROM MTV.COM: "The Wolfman," here at last, is sadly lacking in snarl. There are plenty of bared fangs and flesh-rending claws, of course, and there's much howling at the moon, too. But the movie is essentially an exercise in Gothic atmosphere. It's lavishly produced, sumptuously scored (by Danny Elfman), and beautiful to look at. It's just not very scary.
But how could it be? Is there anyone who doesn't know the simple story, at least in outline? Or who needs to have it told once again? Given the film's troubled production — the last-minute director switch, the re-shoots and re-editing, the year-long release-date delays — it's probably turned out better than anyone might have hoped. But it still feels redundant.

Benicio Del Toro Thinks Jim Carrey And Sean Penn Are Still On Board For 'The Three Stooges'
Posted 2/9/10 10:00 am EST by Larry Carroll in News
Rats, spiders, sharks? Bring ‘em on. In the grand scheme of things, I don’t possess a lot of fears, phobias or terrors. But there is one thing I am deathly afraid of, something that has literally kept me up at night: The new “Three Stooges” movie.
As I’ve written before, I’m a lifelong Stoogemaniac who can’t help but feel that the Farrelly Brothers’ planned reboot is a bad, bad idea. So, when I caught up with Benicio Del Toro over the weekend at the press junket for this week's "The Wolfman," I just had to hear it from his own mouth: They’re seriously going to make this thing?
“Well, we’re not there yet,” explained the “Traffic” Oscar-winner, who is planning to play Moe Howard. “But the idea is still alive.” Read More...
Hugo Weaving Discusses His Return To Middle-earth In 'The Hobbit'
Posted 2/9/10 8:00 am EST by Larry Carroll in News
Not too long ago, we interviewed Peter Jackson and he broke the news that he was planning to bring back only three key “Lord of the Rings” actors for his upcoming “Hobbit” films: the stars who played Gandalf, Galadriel and Elrond. Over the weekend, we caught up with the veteran actor who portrays one of the beloved Tolkien three, and he told us how he’ll fit into the high-profile films.
“Elrond is in ‘The Hobbit,’ in the book,” explained Hugo Weaving, the “Matrix” breakout actor who portrayed the Lord of Rivendell and ancient, wise elf in Jackson’s three “LotR” films. “And yeah, I would love to work on that, with Guillermo del Toro directing.” Read More...

Super Bowl Sunday: Your Guide To The Hottest Trailers
Posted 2/5/10 4:30 pm EST by Adam Rosenberg in News
There's some big event on TV this Sunday. A ton of shiny, new movie trailers are going to premiere! I think there's a football game going on too, but who cares about that?
As is the case every year, this year's Super Bowl will bring the usual helping of commercials and trailers that probably cost more to secure airtime for than they did to produce. And while most of the commercials aren't really going to drive you movies fans into a frenzy, some of the trailer premieres certainly will. You'll get glimpses of some of the biggest movies this year. I've tried to compile a complete list for you based on reports floating around the Internet, though I wouldn't be surprised if a few others sneak in there as well. We have no idea if this list is 100% accurate; hopefully it's wrong and there are more. One thing is certain though: we'll know on Sunday. Read More...

Why 'Twilight' Fans Might Enjoy What 'The Wolfman' Has To Offer
Posted 2/12/10 6:20 pm EST by Josh Wigler in Commentary
Universal Pictures' revival of "The Wolfman" was unleashed into theaters everywhere today, and while the Benicio Del Toro-starring film is geared towards horror fans and monster movie enthusiasts, it might appeal to another unexpected crowd… "Twilight" fans.
Now, I'm not suggesting that "The Wolfman" is a teenage romance, nor is it necessarily appropriate for the younger viewers that flocked to "New Moon" in droves. What I am saying, however, is that there are certain aspects about the new thriller that could tickle the fancy of Team Jacob members everywhere. Read More...
