I Have Seen The ‘The Avengers’ Trailer

I have seen the “Avengers” teaser trailer (Check it out quick.  It might not be there long), and it’s dark. I don’t mean ‘dark’ in a thematic sense; I mean it literally, in that someone snuck a video camera into the theater where the trailer was showing, and filmed it, kind of dark. What I […]

The ‘Batman Rises’ Trailer Takes Flight

The “Batman Rises” trailer is online, though if you glance though the articles that I have written, you’ll notice that’s there’s nothing there about Batman. Zip.  Nada.  Zero.  Nothing. This is because the Christopher Nolan’s Batman films don’t embody what I want to see in a superhero comic–which is, generally speaking, larger than life characters, […]

New ‘The Avengers’ Trailer (Is Nowhere To Be Seen)

I heard that the trailer for Marvel Studios’ “The Avengers” was live.  Supposedly, it wasn’t a sharp, Quicktime version, but something that–if the descriptions of those that saw it are accurate–almost sounds like it was pirated. Regrettably, it was pulled before I could catch it (though of course I have the benefit of reading comments […]

A Mystery At St. Anna

‘The Thing’ Trailer

I posted the poster for the upcoming, “The Thing,” directed by Matthijs van Heijningen, Jr., yesterday, now here’s the trailer.  Visually, it looks OK, but call me confused because in the original film the sole survivor at the beginning of the film spoke Norwegian (in fact, since “The Thing” is a prequel to John Carpenter’s film, […]

‘Akira’ Director Found

Originally, Alan Hughes was in the director’s seat for Warner Brothers’ “Akira,” then he suddenly wasn’t.  Now, according to Aintitcool.com, that seat has been taken by Jaume Callet-Sierra.  He’s done four films so far, “House of Wax,” “Goal II: Living The Dream,” “Orphan,” and “Unknown.” Of those four films, I saw “House of Wax.”  It wasn’t […]

‘John Carter’ Trailer

I don’t know what to think about this one because it doesn’t look quite like I imagined in my head when I heard about its development a few years ago.  I have never been a fan of Edgar Rice Burroughs, his book “John Carter: Warlord Of Mars” is the basis for the film, though, if […]
