“Cosmopolis” has everything that a moviegoer could want. There’s Robert Patterson, for the ‘Twilight’ contingent, and David Cronenberg, perhaps the premiere director of the weird and bizarre. And this film definitely seems to fit that bill, seeing that it revolves around a billionaire (Patterson) who is searching for a haircut, and the twisted things that […]
Here’s the red band trailer for “Piranha 3DD,” from The Weinstein Company, which also released the Academy Award winning film, “The Artist.” And while “Piranha 3DD” will probably win few Oscars, it has assets that its more renown brethren lacks. It’s also not safe for viewing at work. That is, unless you happen to have […]
I have tickets for “Mirror, Mirror” this Saturday, though if I had a choice, I would’ve chosen “Snow White And The Huntsman.” It seems to take itself seriously, and appears somewhat dark, as opposed to the aforementioned film.
Aint It Cool recently posted another “Prometheus” trailer, as well as an interview with Damon Lindelhof and Ridley Scott. The new trailer is less a dramatic assembly of scenes that an outline of what the film is about. Don’t worry, while it dispels some basic mysteries, it hints at more interesting, darker, things.
Here’s the latest trailer for Ridley Scott’s “Prometheus,” the sorta-prelude to “Alien.” The visuals look remarkable, though what’s funny is that the occasional snippet of dialog underwhelms. In this respect I am reminded of Scott’s “Legend,” that had beautiful visuals–a Ridley Scott trademark–but little else to counterbalance them. Don’t quite know why that is. Perhaps […]
Bloomspot is offering a free screening of “Tarsem Singh’s “Mirror, Mirror” in Washington, DC on Saturday, March 24. Personally, I am more interested in “Snow White and the Huntsman,” for a seemingly darker, more intense take on the subject, which is why I am surprised that this film come from Singh, who’s know for more […]
I was watching Netflix, when I saw one of the new additions was “The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes,” a cartoon that’s, essentially, a twenty-three minute advert for Marvel Studios upcoming ‘Avengers’ movie this May. The show is featured on Disney XD, which is owned by Disney (as is Marvel). I didn’t expect all that much, […]
Johnny Depp is once again teaming with director Tim Burton, and the latest result of their collaboration is a new version of Dan Curtis‘s “Dark Shadows.” When I first saw the first pictures of Johnny Depp as vampire Barnabas Collins, they felt just a bit…campy and lacking in anything approaching subtlety. After seeing the trailer, […]
What did we Americans do to be treated with such disdain? Sure, the United States trailer for “The Avengers” delivers some cool superhero goodness, but compared to the Japanese trailer, it’s a tease. By way of example, here are two shots of the fraggin’ S.H.I.E.L.D helicarrier (for those not quite into comics, the helicarrier is […]
Here’s the trailer for Chris Kentis and Laura Lau‘s “Silent House.” It’s a film of the ‘Paranormal Activity’ variety, based upon a film from Uraguay, “The Silent House.” The original film was shot in one take, while the remake looks like it was, it wasn’t.
