The ‘Arrow’ Revealed!

According to Deadline, the image to the left is the “Arrow,”(above) from the upcoming CW series.  I could just be a bit off-base, but I was expecting a new interpretation of DC’s Green Arrow (below).  Instead, it looks like they’re sticking to, essentially, the same costume as the character wore on “Smallville. Which makes me […]

Bringing Light To ‘Prometheus’

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.

New ‘Prometheus’ Trailer

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 […]

Free ‘Mirror, Mirror’ Screening In Washington, DC

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 […]

‘Dark Shadows’ Trailer

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, […]

Japanese ‘Avengers’ 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 […]

New ‘Battleship’ Trailer

Here’s the latest trailer from Peter Berg’s “Battleship,” with quite a bit more Rihanna, as well as additional scenes seemingly designed to set it apart from ‘Transformers.’  That being said, you can say a lot of things about Berg, but one that you can’t is that you don’t know where all the money spent on […]

‘Intruders’ Trailer

What is it about taking away, as opposed to adding, features to a person’s face that makes it look so creepy?  A new movie from Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, the director of “28 Weeks Later” looks like it’s going to answer that question, while also seeking the answer to what really scares us.

I Hate To Say I Told You So…

Don’t you hate when, after seemingly never-ending warnings that if you did or said a certain thing, that you would come to no good end, happened to be right? So, you not only have yourself eye-deep into a situation that’s unhealthy in the truest sense of the word, but you could have avoided the whole […]

‘Paranorman’ Trailer

“Paranorman” looks like a lot of fun.  If I wasn’t already convinced that I wanted to see the movie, the dial tone scene toward the end really sold it for me.  There’s also the title, which is really, really cool.
