Latest posts in the tooth fairy
11:01:39 AM Will Edmondson: Tara, last night was a night of firsts: It was our first (and only, presumably) time seeing "Tooth Fairy," of course, but it was also your first foray into live tweeting. How would you say it went?
11:02:12 AM Tara Ariano: Actually, I also live-tweeted "Twilight" when we watched that on Pay Per View, so...yes, this was a much more pleasant experience.
11:02:40 AM Will Edmondson: Wow, I thought I'd suppressed any memories I had about "Twilight," but here come the post-traumatic stress flashbacks! Thanks a lot, Tara! But I thought "Fairy" was pretty good! Or, let me qualify that: As good as we could possibly have expected "Tooth Fairy" to have been.
Thanks to all who voted: it doesn't have a chance of toppling "Avatar" at the box office, but "Tooth Fairy" did beat it in our poll.

Will and I will see it Monday night, and deliver our recap Tuesday. And in case you worried that you made the wrong choice, the clip above, in which star Dwayne Johnson describes his preparation for the role to "Entertainment Tonight," should allay your concerns.
Last week, we asked you which movie you wanted to see recapped, and you responded in overwhelming fashion. Your winner, "Daybreakers," just got recapped, so we're on to the next one. This week, the choice is yours again, and the options may surprise you.
continue readingDwayne "The Rock" Johnson told us last year on "Saturday Night Live" that he's still a tough guy, and is banking on his tough reputation to carry his new film, "The Tooth Fairy." If you'll recall, a couple weeks ago I wrote about the poster for this film (yes: film), and had some trouble suspending disbelief over some of the plot points. Well, its trailer came out today...and you know what? The movie looks bad. Really bad. But I think it's so far down the "bad" continuum that it might actually be pretty fun.
As I Watch Stuff explained, there are even more ridiculous leaps of faith in the trailer that we're expected to believe. I won't ruin most of them for you, but there are two awesome parts that you need to know about: First, apparently the hockey-playing Rock is in the penalty box so much that he's given his own recliner. That's hilarious. Second, The Rock is issued a summons for "killing dreams." And I think the movie's being unironic. See what I mean? This movie might be the best. Hit "continue reading" to see the trailer after the jump, and see if you agree with me.

Why, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's next movie role in "The Tooth Fairy," naturally; a performance that surely will be one of the most important of our time. Johnson plays a tough minor league hockey player who does a bad thing, and as punishment, is forced to be the tooth fairy for a week. Like, the actual tooth fairy.
Normally a movie asks you to suspend disbelief about one, or maybe two details about its plot. So far, "The Tooth Fairy" has asked me to believe that The Rock can ice-skate, that someone can be sentenced into committing more breaking-and-entering misdemeanors, and that The Rock would tolerate being called a fairy...and I haven't even seen the trailer. But the best part of this movie without question is its poster, which you can see after the jump. The tooth hurts, indeed.
