— by JOSUE SANCHEZ — In the today’s world, it would be safe to say that we have a plethora of fictional heroes to look up to. We can find them in literature, and in live action television and movies. Some heroes are not super-powered (i.e. Batman), they simply rely on their wits[...]

An Alternate Ending for Rob Zombie’s ‘Halloween II’
— by CAM SMITH — Rob Zombie’s “Halloween II” was among the most dreadful films of 2009; an amateurish, often incoherent, bloody slab of boring, unimaginative pandemonium, overflowing at its greasy brim with childish supernatural symbolism and grimy hillbilly clichés. In all[...]
A Look at ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows’
— by JOSUE SANCHEZ — I have never forgiven myself for not watching the first two installments of the “Harry Potter” series in the theater. I had not read the books and was not knowledgeable of who or what “Harry Potter” was. I had seen the trailer for the first[...]
Hilarious Parody of ‘The Dark Knight’
— by KATHLEEN COLLINS — While few would argue that “The Dark Knight” is a fantastic movie, it does have a few head-scratching moments. The people at The Key of Awesome have put those moments to song and it’s a lot of fun. However, words won’t do justice for what t[...]
Bryan Adams’ Music Video from ‘Old Dogs’
— by SEAN GERSKI — Here is the video for Bryan Adams’ song “You’ve Been A Friend To Me,” which appears on the soundtrack for “Old Dogs.” I haven’t heard anything good about the movie, and I have never been much of a Bryan Adams fan, but the song [...]
A Featurette From ‘It’s Complicated’
— by SEAN GERSKI — Alec Baldwin has recently stated that he plans to retire from acting at the conclusion of “30 Rock.” He basically blamed his less than stellar movie career as the impetus for wanting to leave the business. It’s too bad really, because when Baldwin[...]
Frosty, The Inappropriate Snowman
— by KATHLEEN COLLINS — This clip is so awesome that you will not believe that it was actually created by CBS, but it was. It takes a blend of “Frosty The Snowman” and Neil Patrick Harris’ Barney Stinson from “How I Met Your Mother” to create something[...]
Lego Matrix: ‘Trinity, Help!’
This is a scene from “The Matrix” that was painstakingly recreated by using Legos[...]
What Movie Should Cam Smith Write About Next?
Regular readers at It’s Just Movies have no doubt noticed that writer Cam Smith puts together a regular column for the site called “About That …” where he takes a look at a movie in development (or one that is at least rumored to be in development). However, despite being[...]
Go On ‘The Road’ With This Featurette
— by JASON EAKEN — I read Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road” in about two days this past summer. The writing is immediate and stark, and it has a very terse quality that really worked. I’m eager to see the movie, due in large part to director John Hillcoat (2006’s[...]
A Deleted Scene From ‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince’
— by CAM SMITH — Any Harry Potter film that opens with a flash strobe-popping nod to Scorsese’s “Raging Bull” and closes with a poetic homage to “The Empire Strikes Back” is all-right in my book and last summer’s “The Half-Blood Prince” was the best series entry to date[...]
How It Should Have Ended: ‘Twilight’
— by KATHLEEN COLLINS — There have been a whole series of these videos created called “How It should have Ended” and they are pretty funny. The newest one takes aim at “Twilight,” a movie that is attracting plenty of spoofs and satires right about now[...]
Brandon Routh in ‘The Twilight Cycles’
Brandon Routh is part of a parody of “Twilight” for Funny or Die in this clip called “The Twilight Cycles” (the name will make sense when you watch it). This clip is possibly not safe for work, so you may want to wait to watch it if you are on your work computer[...]
