Trailer for Jackass 3D
Paramount has released the first trailer for Jackass 3D. Word around Comic-Con from those who saw the trailer and limited footage in 3D was how ridiculous it was, which of course is exactly the type of reaction being sought. The addition of 3D is sure to rile up fans of the first two movies that combined to make $136 million. Jackass 3D is slated to release on October 15th. ...

Teaser Trailer for Skyline
The first trailer for the alien invasion movie Skyline has arrived. Starring Eric Balfour and Donald Faison the story centers on a group of friends trying to survive as alien crafts begin swallowing up all human life. Skyline had an interesting panel at Comic-Con.
