See Conan O’Brien’s Absurdly Brilliant Holiday Set Decorations

Posted: 21 Dec 2010 04:28 PM PST



For those of you who missed last night's Conan, as well as those of you who don't watch the show at all, host Conan O'Brien unveiled his newly decorated set for the holiday season.

Instead of going with your traditional Christmas decor, Conan wanted to think a little bit outside of the box and deliver something wild and unique. He enlisted the help of a mad scientist of holiday decorating tactics named Kenny Irwin Jr., and got to work on what may just be the greatest Christmas decoration job we've ever seen!

You can click on over to the other side now to see the video of Conan's hilarious chat with Kenny as they go over his credentials and figure out a plan for the set decoration, followed by a video of the finished job...which might just blow your mind.

Sadly, the Godzilla perished moments after the end of these videos. [...]

Tommy Wiseau Talks Releasing ‘The Room’ In 3D/Blu-ray, New Clothing Line

Posted: 21 Dec 2010 02:25 PM PST



Fans of Tommy Wiseau's so-bad-it's-oh-so-good cult classic, The Room, will be thrilled to know that you have not seen the last of the movie's offerings.

Talking to Entertainment Weekly recently, Wiseau confirmed that he has full intentions of releasing The Room not only on Blu-ray with lots and lots of behind-the-scenes features, but that he also plans on giving the movie a full 3D makeover, complete with a theatrical re-release.

Wiseau spoke about the conversion, saying "The process is very detail-oriented. But we want to do it because I'm obsessed about 3D right now, if you ask me." He even touched on his own gluteus maximus and its three-dimensional inclusion, adding "My bottom will have to be in 3-D because I'm not changing anything, so you'll be very close."

The writer, director, producer, and actor went on to say that the hope is for the Blu-ray release to come before next Christmas, followed by the 3D theatrical re-release in either late 2011 or early 2012. [...]

Saoirse Ronan Is Not To Be Messed With In This ‘Hanna’ Trailer

Posted: 21 Dec 2010 01:18 PM PST



During our coverage of New York Comic-Con 2010 a couple of months back, you may recall reading about a new movie called Hanna (Read: NYCC 2010: 'Hanna' Panel With Saoirse Ronan & Eric Bana).

The movie is directed by Joe Wright (Atonement, Pride and Prejudice) and stars Saoirse Ronan (Atonement, The Lovely Bones), Eric Bana (Troy, Star Trek), and Cate Blanchett (Elizabeth, The Lord of the Rings). It tells the story of a young girl being raised in the wilderness by her father, who's training her to be an incredibly deadly and unstoppable assassin.

While we could only describe the footage that was shown at Comic-Con, now you can your first look at it for yourself with the debut of the film's first trailer. Not everything shown at the Con is here, but the new trailer definitely uses some of it and all looks well!

Movie Review: Black Swan

Black Swan theatrical movie poster

Black Swan
Directed by Darren Aronofsky
Starring: Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, Vincent Cassel, Barbara Hershey
Release date: December 19, 2010

Combine the wonderful sounds of orchestral music with the delicate beauty and undulating movements of the ballerinas along with the indelible images that cinema provides for us and we get a truly ambitious film that is a mixture of poetry, sex, feverish dream, nightmares, and psychology. But most impressively it is an innovative fusion -- of cinema and ballet -- that has been rarely seen in the film medium. Here is one of the most complete films in recent memory. A film well in accord with what makes a film great, ingraining in its foundation a surplus of great performances, visionary direction, emotional music, and surprises emerging from a unique script that is not afraid to approach the unconventional.

And this unconventionality begins when Black Swan perverts all things good that usually have a tendency to comfort us, such as music, ballet, purity, motherhood, and desires. The film is, gloriously but disconcertingly, a catastrophic assault on all of these things, but more emphasis is shown on dethroning elegance from the world of ballet and perverting this world's time-honored brilliance into something abhorrent. It is easy to accentuate gracefulness. Leave that for lesser talent [...]

‘Fallout: New Vegas’ Game Add-On Available Now

Posted: 21 Dec 2010 07:04 AM PST



The first downloadable add-on for Fallout: New Vegas is out today. The pack is called Dead Money and it puts you on a trail for a lost treasure.

Just like the add-ons for Fallout 3, this is an Xbox exclusive through Xbox LIVE, for the time being. As with the last game, I expect this to hit all other platforms eventually.

The main game, Fallout: New Vegas, is currently being offered on Amazon as part of their Buy 2 for $79 deal.

Here's the official description of Dead Money:

As the victim of a raw deal you must work alongside three other captured wastelanders to recover the legendary treasure of the Sierra Madre Casino. In Dead Money, your life hangs in the balance as you face new terrain, foes, and choices. It is up to you how you play your cards in the quest to survive. [...]
