Here’s the trailer for “Twilight: Breaking Dawn.” I don’t personally see the attraction of the series, then again, the millions of people that do more than make up for my lack of interest. That being said, what does interest me is that Bill Condon is behind the camera, because a talented director can elevate just about any project, […]
See, this is the sort of stuff that irks me to no end. According to The Wrap, Warner Brothers is remaking “Point Break,” though I have to ask, “Why?” The film itself isn’t anything remarkable, though you do have Keanu Reeves in a role in which he’s actually engaging. Then there’s Patrick Swayze, who sells […]
Here’s the trailer for David Fincher’s English-language remake of “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.” I am posting this because I saw the trailer during “Contagion” (review forthcoming) and was almost deafened by the sound, which seemed intent upon pummeling me into submission. The teaser poster above is probably a bit too “breasty” for some, […]
Here’s the trailer for “Drive,” the latest film from Nicolas Winding Refn, starring Ryan Gosling (though for my money, seeing Albert Brooks play whom I assume is a villain is what I really want to see). I saw the trailer during “Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark,” and though that it looked interesting, whichever accent […]
I saw this trailer during “Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark” (review forthcoming) and got the feeling that it was only about planes and things exploding, which is perhaps a part of the tale of the Tuskegee Airmen, though hardly the most important one. I hope that the film deals with their individual stories, as […]
Does the premise of Shawn Levy‘s “Real Steel,” promoter has junky robot that has to overcome the odds against more advanced, more dangerous opponents, strike anyone else as silly (which is saying something based upon some of the films out there)? And if that were not enough of a hurdle to overcome, it also sounds […]
Here’s the trailer for Jonathan Levine’s “50/50,” starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen. I should mention that I am not a huge fan of Seth Rogen, though he gets props in my book for giving Joseph Gordon-Levitt top billing in a movie that he happens to not only appear in, but produced. The film revolves […]
Here’s the trailer for Bennett Miller’s “Moneyball,” starring Brad Pitt. This doesn’t look like anything that we haven’t seen before, but I have to admit that when these types of films–the “come from behind, winning against incredible odds-type of film–are done well, they’re a joy to behold. I saw the trailer to this film during […]
Here’s the teaser trailer for Gary Ross’s “The Hunger Games,” based upon the young adult series of novels by Suzanne Collins. I am aware of them (I dig their minimalist covers) but haven’t been seriously into ‘young adult’ fiction since John Christopher’s “The White Mountains.” I hope Lionsgate has better luck with this than “Conan, […]
Here’s the red band trailer for Jesse Peretz‘ “Our Idiot Brother.” Contained therein are a few somewhat infantile gags involving urination and male nudity, which is why the commercial was banned by ABC, despite there being nothing that we haven’t seen before. That being said, you see guys having conversations at urinals on TV, despite […]
