Discuss: What do you think of the new Star Trek movie trailer? What do you like? What do you hate? Lets hear it! Share your thoughts in the comments below!

If you’re seeing a movie this weekend, then chances are you’re seeing Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno. I would really like to know what you thought.
Was it Smith’s funniest movie to date?
Did Craig Robinson steal the show?
What did you think of the 12-frame, half-a-second shot that had the MPAA up in arms? (Vulture’s quote poster mock up below)
And how classic was Star Whores?
Leave your thoughts in the comments below!

If you make the trip to the movie theater this weekend, chances are you’re there seeing SAW V, Clint Eastwood’s Changeling, High School Musical 3 (although I doubt the demographic that reads /Film would be caught dead watching that film) or Pride and Glory. We want to know what you thought! Post your comments below.

If you went to the movies this weekend, chances are you either saw:
Max Payne, Oliver Stone’s W. or Sex Drive
We would like to know what movie you chose, and what you thought. Did Stone’s W. lack focus or was it the Nixon for this decade? Was Max Payne all style and no substance or a kick ass action film? Was Sex Drive the funniest comedy of 2008 or just another sex comedy? We want to know! Post your thoughts in the comments below.

So after much ballyhoo, J.J. Abrams’s Fringe premiered last night on Fox. I’m curious to know how you guys felt about the pilot episode, and if this is a show you’d like to see covered on Slashfilm in the future. The ratings are in—roughly 9 million viewers—and while it’s not necessarily a homerun off the bat, word of mouth will play a large factor in the proceeding weeks. Do you expect the show to reach the heights of The X-Files in its prime? Did the 90-minute $10 million premiere grab you?

WEEKEND UPDATE: Okay. So, I just witnessed a press copy of Disaster Movie. Let’s up the ante. If you really, really want bad things to happen to Disaster Movie, and the movie’s directors/hacks, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer Water, paste the following in the comments: Necronomicon Xmortis Juno. Thanks. If their film suffers a horrible death at the box office, we’ll update/celebrate. Disclosure: I’ve had this post/hex blessed by a perturbed employee of Marie Laveau’s House of Voodoo in New Orleans. The /Film Effect is in effect!!! (Per the emails: No, I’m not kidding.)

The midnight showings are now over, and fanboys around the country have finally seen The Dark Knight on the big screen. I’ve already listed my ten reasons why I believe The Dark Knight is a masterpiece. So now it is your turn.
What did you think?
Was it over hyped?
The best comic book movie of all time?
Or a cinematic experience that transcends the superhero genre?
Did you see it at a multiplex or in IMAX? Is bigger better?
Speak your mind in the comments below. I’m declaring the comments to be a spoiler approved zone. Talk about anything and everything. What did you love? What did you hate? And what should Nolan do with [...]

Since Tuesday, Hancock has grossed over $40 million domestically and is on track to stack $100 million plus by wke’s end. While early word from critics and geeks is decidedly mixed, that’s a lot of moolah for Will Smith, director Peter Berg (his first major hit), and Sony. How puzzling then that Nikke Finke says there are serious doubts circling inside the studio regarding Hancock’s franchise potential—she even compares the film’s buzz to Wild Wild West. Jab, Hook, Jab. With a reported budget of $150 million, Jeff Wells cries Feh if the film grosses $90 mill or less by Sunday. Meanwhile, Diddy swooned and probably received a nice paycheck. UPDATE [...]

For many months, you’ve read about Wall-E, the latest attempt at cinematic greatness from Pixar, here on Slashfilm. Like a diamond-studded chariot, the big day has arrived. Is this Pixar’s best film? Is it a masterpiece? Was the hype justified? Does it deserve a nom for Best Picture as many critics feel (97% positive on Rotten Tomatoes)? Has anyone encountered a coworker/friend/stranger doing a Wall-E impression yet? Did the audience you saw it with seem to enjoy it? What was your favorite scene? What did you think of the humans/Fred Willard? And most urgently, is Wall-E the new kitten?

Were you one of the people who went to see M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening instead of The Incredible Hulk? I’d be interested to hear what you thought. Ebert may have given the movie three stars, but most American movie critics are throwing Rotten Tomatoes at the screen (only 20% fresh on the Tomatometer). But forget about the critics, I want to know what you guys thought. Please comment below!
My quick thoughts: Shyamalan needs to find a group of creative people to collaborate and bounce ideas off of. Not only is the plot ridiculous, but the characters are unbelievable and speak like no living human being I’ve [...]

Today, The Incredible Hulk opens in face of months of fanboy speculation (early consensus is quite positive), the looming memory of Ang Lee’s Bruce Banner, M. Night’s worst R-rated movie, and the celebration of Jason Voorhees. We want to hear what you thought of the big budget Marvel/Universal film all weekend long.
Things to consider: Is this the Hulk we’ve been waiting for? Better than Ang Lee’s? Was the CGI up to snuff? Is Edward Norton the definitive Banner? Does Norton have good reason to remain displeased with the film’s editing? How does Louis Leterrier’s film rank against Jon Favreau’s Iron Man and which film did you enjoy more? Is this [...]
