The Rock is here to teach you about being a man, while man-handling tiny elephants and riding around on giant bees. The Rock is strong but sensitive, and he's downright eager to guide you over the threshold into a new world of confusing sexuality, in which the scat of massive birds sprays all over people's faces and chests. You want a male role model who's not afraid to give advice about macking on girls, while in a cave full of mega-fauna? That's The Rock. More »

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island includes The Rock flexing his biceps while fighting off a giant electric eel and screaming, "Show me that 1,000 Watt Smile!" Watch six new clips — including Michael Caine acting like a lunatic and Josh Hutcherson channeling the sex appeal of a child's teddy bear. This could pose a severe challenge to Nic Cage's Ghost Rider 2 for "most ludicrous sequel of 2012." More »

Journey to the Center of the Earth starred a ridiculously game Brendan Fraser, who mugged his way through a series of computer-generated situations in 3D. Now the second movie, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, stars an equally "why the hell not" Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Plus an "as long as I get paid" Michael Caine. More »

Or more to the point, what is Michael Caine about to say to his agent once he gets home from doing this fiasco? Some new character posters for Journey 2, the sequel that absolutely nobody demanded, have come out. And they're like the posters from the waiting room to Photoshop Hell. I especially like the look on The Rock's face as he contemplates what has become of his non-Fast and Furious career. More »

Journey to the Center of the Earth's sequel is minus one Brendan Fraser but plus one Dwayne Johnson. The Rock, who has teamed up with the boy from the first movie because he's his new Step-Dad (did Fraser die in the first movie?!), is trying to find Jules Verne's Mysterious Island (yes from the story). Long story short, they find it and it has miniature elephants. Watch the trailer now! More »

Remember Dwayne Johnson's sad adaptation of the first-person shooter game Doom? Well Hollywood isn't about to let that terrible franchise die out, like other 90s fads. In fact, Universal wants to reboot the Doom movie series — in 3D. More »

Suppose someone tried to relaunch Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda. What would you change? Who would you cast? That's the question former Andromeda writer Zack Stentz posed in a forum, and former showrunner Robert Hewitt Wolfe chimed in with some suggestions. More »

The Rock rolls on a pair of sateen tights in his role as the tooth fairy — get it? Beause that's effeminate, and he's masculine. New clips include Dwayne eating shrinking paste and flushing himself down the toilet. Comedy! More »

We warned you that Dwayne Johnson's hockey player turned tooth fairy movie was on its way. Now the trailer has arrived and you can watch the Rock sneak into kids' bedrooms, battle cats, and get taunted by Billy Crystal. More »

Dwayne Johnson continues the Hollywood tradition of surly, no-nonsense males getting stuck in stereotypically feminine roles. Otherwise known as, "This pool isn't going to pay for itself" films. See the glorious oddball poster in full wacky glory. More »

When Dwayne Johnson lands in the middle of alien suburbia on Planet 51, he's gotta make haste before the planet's government kidnaps him. Yet another "we're the aliens" switcheroo flick, but in reality the aliens are just Green-Americans. More »

We've rounded up a few clips from Disney's Race To Witch Mountain, which feature a whole lotta Dwayne Johnson being cute with a dog and trying to make you laugh. So does it work? More »

Race To Witch Mountain's Dwayne Johnson not only chauffeurs around a pair of tween aliens in his cab, but apparently some of our stormtrooper buddies as well. Check out the Superbowl Witch Mountain trailer early. More »

Dwayne Johnson is the latest star to have his disembodied head in mid-air, in the poster for Disney's reboot Race To Witch Mountain. Check out the greatest floating-head posters from scifi movies past, below. More »

The brand new reboot of the Disney's Witch Mountain series is packed with CG effects, The Rock, UFOs, shiny lights . . . oh and Master Chief. Or was that Boba Fett? Either way they've managed to cram a ridiculous amount of crap into this kiddie movie that was once a treasured memory of mine. While I actively support Dwayne Johnson's continued ability to get work, I'm having a really hard time accepting the fact that the alien children stranded on Earth can walk through walls and stop a SUV with their tiny prepubescent bodies (and nary a harmonica).

The Rock is starring in the new Race to Witch Mountain movie (an update of the Escape to Witch Mountain movies) — and he believes, or wants to believe, in aliens. You be the judge. At the Race To Witch Mountain press line, we grilled cast members about the existence of aliens. The lovely Carla Gugino walked away from my questions looking at like I was mad (you can't turn away from the truth Carla) so did the director Andy Fickman, but Dwayne Johnson threw us a bone. When we asked if he believed in aliens he replied, "Yeah yeah of course." Click through for more on the Rock's belief in the beyond and pictures from the Con press line. More »

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson shares a behind the scene look into how he crafted Agent 23 for the comedy Get Smart — or, as he calls him, "Uncle Handsome." Watch in a special clip as Agent 23 throws people against walls, staples a mans head, and gets into random bouts of silliness with Agent 86 (Steve Carell). Johnson was expertly cast in this role as the handsome devil 23 and it's cute to watch him get his feathers ruffled when this massive field agent is forced to sit at a desk and do paperwork at Control. But I'm much happier knowing the brunt of the comedy work will be left in Carell's hands. More »

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson let the fans dictate which role he should play in the upcoming Shazam movie, according to About.com. Johnson was trying to decide between playing Captain Marvel (the good guy) and Black Adam (the bad guy). Really, the only difference between the two is that Black Adam is evil. And an Arab. Johnson asked the fans, and guess who they wanted him to be? More »

Director Richard Kelly brought us the cult hit Donnie Darko, and he's been hard at work on Southland Tales, a weird mix of science fiction, music, comedy, and drama set against a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles. Sounds like the perfect backdrop for a light-hearted romp, right? More »
