 Aintitcool.com has posted a report from what may have been the first test screening of Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory remake. The scooper dug the film, and it sounds like the audience did too for the most part.

 Yeah, you read that right. ?The sometimes funny, sometimes annoying, long-running public radio show you hear every Saturday or Sunday (or both), is going to be a film.

   Seems like everyone was given the greenlight to post their War of the Worlds "exclusive" featurettes today (click over for LA Times and Latino Review video). ?Meanwhile, John Cusack has a new romantic comedy (he's like the male Meg Ryan of his generation). Dig the new "Tragedy" TV spot for ROTS that's been airing for awhile, then dork it up with some Superman Returns behind-the-scenes geekness.

Just Added the TV Spot that aired sduring the Survivor finale! We thought the last one was the last full length trailer to be released before the film hits theatres next month. We were wrong. ?If you ask us, this one is trying a little too hard, packing in as many story points as possible. With all of the positive buzz surrounding Episode III right now, could the marketing department over at Warner Bros be a little worried? ?Nah.

 Finally, a review of Episode III that feels balanced (so many have gushed like stooges about the damn thing; see Kevin Smith's review). Garth, the man behind Darkhorizons.com, gives us a clamer, less Jedi-geek account of how this film stands up to the others, and addresses whether or not Lucas has improved on the crappy chunks of cheese that plagued Episodes 1 & 2.

   Looks as if the Dukes flick is indeed going to be as dumb as you'd think it might be given the limp director and cast. Granted, it is the Dukes of Hazzard movie, but still they could have been a little more creative and fun with the peeps they hired. As for the new Mr. and Mrs. Smith trailer; eh, we've had better. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire AND Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe teaser trailers added!!.

 "The final episode of George Lucas' cinematic epic 'Star Wars' ends the six-movie series on such a high note that one feels like yelling out, 'Rewind!' Yes, rewind through more than 13 hours of bravery, treachery, new worlds, odd creatures and human frailty. The first two episodes of Lucas' second trilogy - 'The Phantom Menace' (1999) and 'Attack of the Clones' (2002) - caused more than a few fans of the original trilogy to wonder whether this prequel was worth it. The answer is a qualified yes." Click over for the rest of Kirk Honeycutt's strong review.

 Jimmy Fallon will host this years pretend-awards show for the evil network that has been quietly stealing your mind and teaching culture how to be more superficial for over two decades now. Having said that, we've got our fingers crossed for Mean Girls to sweep this year. Click over for the full list of nominees.

 Darkhorizons.com has posted an early review of Ridley Scott's limp looking, overdramatic, self-important snooze-fest Kingdom of Heaven. Garth (of Darkhorizons) suggests the flick is similar to the Scott's badly written, beef cake love story, Gladiator, but not as good. Sheesh, that's gotta be pretty bad then, eh?
