New poster for 'The Thing' reboot!

Universal Pictures' "The Thing" reboot is set for release Oct. 14, 2011, and here is the brand new poster for the horror flick, which Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. directed. Looks interesting for sure, so check it out in full after the jump.

The plot? At an Antarctica research site, the discovery of an alien craft leads to a confrontation between graduate student Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and scientist Dr. Sander Halvorson (Ulrich Thomsen).

Co-starring in "The Thing" are Eric Christian Olsen, Joel Edgerton, Ulrich Thomsen and Kim Bubbs. The film is described as a reimagining of "The Thing from Another World" and John Carpenter's "The Thing." Let's hope it will deliver some scares.

Movie Review: "Fired Up!"

Seen on: February 20, 2009

The players: Director: Will Gluck, Writer: Freedom Jones, Cast: Nicholas D'Agosto, Eric Christian Olsen, Sarah Roemer, Danneel Harris, David Walton

Facts of interest: None whatsoever.

The plot: Two popular high school friends skip footballl camp to join cheer camp and hook up with tons of girls...

Our thoughts: Will Gluck’s teen comedy “Fired Up!” is undoubtedly one of the most boring films I’ve seen so far this year. There’s absolutely nothing about this failure that amused me in any way, and by the time the end credits started to roll, I sincerely regretted wasting $7 and 94 minutes of my life.

Two new 'Fired Up' spots not funny at all

January hasn't been that great as far as new, wide releases go, and to be honest, February doesn't really look that great either.

One of the flicks opening next month is "Fired Up," yet another silly teen comedy about two idiots doing everything they can to get laid.

This time around, the two lead boys are actually two popular high school friends who decide to attend cheer camp to meet hot girls, etc.

Anyway, here are two new TV spots for the comedy, which opens Feb. 20. I can't even say I'm the least bit excited about this flick, because most of the footage below looks pretty awful and anything but funny.

Could "Fired Up" be this year's "College"? Let's hope not...
