‘Trance’ Trailer

Finally a ‘Red Band’ trailer that justifies the name! I am a huge Danny Boyle fan.  Even when his films don’t quite strike the right tone, such as “A Life Less Ordinary,” “Sunshine,” and I would argue, “The Beach,” they’re still worth watching.  His “Trainspotting” is perhaps the best film that I have ever seen […]

‘Despicable Me 2’ Trailer

I get that I am not exactly the target audience for this movie, but the trailer struck me as cloyingly cute.  So cute in fact that if I were a diabetic I would keep my insulin at the ready, just in case.  Gru, the villainous, though he was more misunderstood than evil, main character of […]

‘Kick-Ass 2’ Red Band Trailer

What’s better than the new “Kick-Ass 2” Official Trailer?  The new “Kick-Ass 2” Red Band Trailer.  Usually, what separates a ‘Red Band’ trailer from the run of the mill variety is that they tend to show more–more blood, gore, sex, whatever the movie happens to be selling. It this case it happens to be violence […]

‘StarCraft II: Vengeance Of The Swarm’ Trailer

I am not a huge video game player, though I always seems to make my way back to a ‘StarCraft’ game.  The story lines are engaging, and they’re less about how many things that you kill (though killing does come into play, it’s by no means random) than how you manage your resources, which will […]

Where’s Wesley Snipes?

The answer to my question is probably still prison, but finding a link to this film got my hopes up, albeit momentarily.  It’s a western, and sounds essentially like “Blade,” but with zombies instead of vampires. Unfortunately, it had been sitting on the shelf since 2007, so Snipes had to have made it prior to […]

‘The Lords of Salem,’ Trailer 2

Let’s be clear:  I don’t think Rob Zombie is a very good director.  In fact, his movies on one level can be seem to be primarily vehicles for employing his wife, Sherri Moon Zombie; which I have nothing against because such nepotism in Hollywood–or anywhere else for that matter–isn’t exactly unusual. Judd Apatow gives his […]

‘Dead Space 3’ Trailer

The latest game in the ‘Dead Space’ Saga is here, and proves that space isn’t the only place where no one can hear you scream.  I have played the original game on my BriPad 2, though I imagine that the version on consoles like the XBox 360 or Playstation are much more elaborate because of […]

ITV Reboots Anderson’s “Thunderbirds”

When Gerry Anderson died last September,  I not only was saddened, but felt somehow betrayed.  I am not arrogant to believe that his health is any of my business, but knowing would have clarified for me why it is that he left the Pinewood Studios lot, and the selling of the memorabilia that he had accrued […]
