Whiteout
Whiteout is a term commonly used to refer to a type of weather condition that severely impairs one’s visibility of the environment around them — say, a blizzard. Director Dominic Sena uses this force of nature to push around the characters in his new film, Whiteout, yet he comes across as the only one who has lost the ability to see. Why the studio didn’t put this film out in the cold to wander off and die is a mystery. What is clear is that Whiteout is a perfect storm of bad acting, bad direction and even worse writing. Sena and his cast are probably wishing for another kind of whiteout right about now — the kind that will remove this film from their resume.

9
A scorched, post-apocalyptic Earth has been the setting for many an epic blockbuster, but rarely an animated feature. Director, Shane Acker , carves a lonely rumbled path in his computer-generated debut film, 9 — a hauntingly magical yarn, spun more for adults and those with darker dispositions than innocent ankle-biters. The grunge patina and creepy cloth creatures (known as Stitchpunks) should be your first clue that 9 isn’t a happy tale to curl up with at night. While Acker’s plot is manifestly stitched together from other well-worn stories, his visual treatment is as pure and creative as they come.

Gamer & All About Steve
You might wonder if Gamer and All About Steve are worth the cost of admission this weekend. You and us both. You see, Tim and I have a little confession to make. We’re not some powerhouse outlet drawing millions in advertising that allows us to lay back waiting for the next screening. Obviously, you would think that, right? We have day jobs, other commitments and hustle our pretty little asses off to make Popscorn a site you want to visit every week. So when an upcoming film screens just once at 10:30AM and the other doesn’t at all, you can see how bringing you an informative, appropriately salty look at that movie would be problematic. Instead, here’s an uninformed and overly salty opinion of these two illusive films we couldn’t see (and probably won’t).
Megan Fox Compares Michael Bay to Hitler
God, I really wish I could go loose on this one. He’s like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he’s a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he’s not in [...]
