Yesterday, thanks to two pics, we got our first look at the new Peanuts movie, based on Charles Schulz’s timeless comic strip. We also heard from producers Craig Schulz (Charles’ son) and Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, The Heat), as well as director Steve Martino (Horton Hears a Who, Ice Age: Continental Drift), who all told us true to the spirit and vision …

Welcome to The Extras! A daily dose of all the smaller movie related news, clips and just plain cool stuff that you might have missed! Last Updated: March 18, 2014

A lot has been said about writer/director Peter Jackson’s decision to turn JRR Tolkien’s 300-page The Hobbit into a 9-hour long movie trilogy, with most of it being “Double-You Tee Eff?!” That being said, the two chapters of the trilogy we’ve had so far have been pretty entertaining (the second way more than the first, if you ask me) and now we’re …

Classic comic strips/cartoons being given the CG feature film treatment is nothing new, and unfortunately, neither is their ability to almost all be pretty bad. Hell, not even Bill Murray could save Garfield: The Movie, and the two Smurfs movies will leave you blue in the face as you try to figure out just how it’s possible they made so much money. …

Whether it was a king falling, a mother dying or knowledge that your dog was going to hell, there was plenty of mental trauma hiding behind that …

What they have, is a particular lack of skills that make their movies a nightmare for people wanting a good laugh. But if they let the genre go, that will be the end …

As far as sports go, Mixed Martial Arts is what happens when you combine not giving a crap with alcohol, actual skill and the kind of steel cage usually reserved for containing velociraptors. At the end of the day, somebody is going to get hurt and scientists are going to wonder how the human body can contain more spilled blood …

Love it or hate it, but 3D is going nowhere in the near future. Profits may be slowly declining, but that’s like removing sand from a beach as there’ll always be some of the stuff leftover. We’ve already seen the first two Toy Story movies get a 3D re-release, as well as the Pixar classic Finding Nemo. Now add Pixar’s first family …
