Well, the hype surrounding James Cameron’s “Avatar” reached a fever pitch last week when the trailer for the long-anticipated flick premiered online and in theaters. Well…Hitler, for one, is not impressed. This fan-made mash-up of “Downfall” is strangely timely, thanks to QT’s “Inglourious Basterds.” It’s also not safe for work! Enjoy.

Read the facts about the “Star Trek” IMAX controversy here!!

Eric Melin and guest host Billy Brimblecom review the new J.J. Abrams reboot of the “Star Trek” franchise, starring Chris Pine as Captain Kirk and Zachary Quinto as Spock. It’s part origin story, part re-do, with a lot of character and action. It also contains plenty of references to the old series, both obvious and not-so-obvious. Can it live up to the hype? We will tell you right here.

Eric Melin and guest host Aaron Weber from Transbuddha.com lock claws over the X-Men prequel starring Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. Does the movie live up to the hype? How does it stack up against the other X-Men movies (especially since “X2: X-Men United” is one of the best comic book adaptations of all-time)? Find out in this bestial review, featuring clips from the movie, and filmed directly following a press screening. For Eric’s print review of “Wolverine,” click here. Also: If you saw the movie, tell us which of its multiple endings you saw! Weigh in here.

Shown on “American Idol” last night (where QT guest-hosted), this short preview of Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming WWII Nazi-killing war movie “Inglorious Basterds” features not only Mike Myers with a sweet hairpiece and mustache, but also a little bit of his English accent. (Which sounds dangerously close to his Scottish accent from “So I Married an Axe Murderer,” “Shrek” and Fat Bastard in “The Spy Who Shagged Me.”)

I love the part where he gets the crew psyched up for another take. Why? “Because … we … love … making … movies!”

Not so sure about Myers …

Here’s Mike D’Angelo’s hilarious letter to Von Trier after watching “Antichrist” at Cannes.

Lars Von Trier is one of the most enigmatic filmmakers working today. “Dancer in the Dark” and “Breaking the Waves” remain two of my favorite films, and even though “Manderlay” and “Dogville” were virtually impossible to watch all the way through, I will always be interested to see what he does next. Apparently that something is “Antichrist,” a new horror film starring Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg that looks like it has more in common with David Cronenberg than Eli Roth.

The synopsis: A grieving couple retreats to their cabin ‘Eden’ in the woods, hoping to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage. But nature takes its course and things go from bad to worse. Sounds vague enough, but I think its pretty funny that it has a little bit of Shyamalan’s “The Happening” in the premise. If nature takes its course, is he talking about human nature or those pesky, toxic-releasing trees? The movie premieres at the Cannes Film Festival in May, and will hopefully make it to our shores soon after.
