’47 Ronin’ Trailer

Can Keanu Reeves star in a movie where he doesn’t happen to be “The One?”  I mean, it was interesting in Andy Wachowski and Lena Wachowski’s ‘Matrix’ films, but it’s beginning to feel a bit long in the tooth. Also, watching the trailer for Carl Rinsch’s troubled “47 Ronin” part of me wonders why the […]

Gravity – ‘Detatched’ Trailer

This is from Alfonso Cuarón’s upcoming “Gravity,” and supposedly it wowed the crowd at this year’s Comic-con, and seeing it for the first time myself I can see why.  The way that the camera swoops and dives, seemingly without a cut or a break, give it a dynamicism, an almost animated feel except that it […]

Catching Fire – Trailer 2

The trailer for “Catching Fire,” the second movie in the The Hunger Games Trilogy, came out a few days ago via Yahoo, so I had to wait till it appeared in a format more easily digestible for WordPress. The first film actually caught me by surprise because I assumed that because the books that inspired […]

Warner Bros. Is Preparing A Superman & Batman Feature

Warner Bros. has revealed that they are going ahead with a Superman & Batman feature, though my question is:  How could anybody be surprised by this?  At this point DC has only two “viable” characters – as in, almost guaranteed to make a profit – and that’s Superman (as “Man of Steel” has shown”) and […]

‘Riddick’ Restricted Trailer

This trailer was shown at the most recent Comic-con and it’s really irritating.  That being said, I don’t feel that way because it’s bad – it’s awesome and pretty violent – but I am bothered because it gives away all sorts of things that I would have like to have seen first in the theater. […]

‘Seventh Son’ Trailer

I don’t mean to sound like a douche (which, if anyone says, pretty much means that they are going to do exactly that) but doesn’t Jeff Bridges lately seem a little less discriminating in terms of the projects he chooses?  He’s got “R.I.P.D” coming up, which looks like “Men In Black,” replacing some awesome practical […]

‘OldBoy’ Red Band Trailer

WTF!?  I haven’t seen Chan-wook Park’s original “Oldboy” in awhile, and looking at Spike Lee’s reboot, I think I need to see it again.  This film looks out of control, at the very least atypical of Lee. In other words, I like it.

‘OldBoy’ Remake Poster

I am not sure about the “Oldboy” remake.  I think Spike Lee is an interesting choice to helm an English-language remake of Chan-wook Park’s visceral film, but the poster seems to set the wrong tone. Josh Brolin, playing the role originated by Min-sik Choi, in the poster seems too aware, almost hyper-aware, in fact. Now, […]

‘World’s End’ Trailer

Now this is what I call high concept!  Five guys, after not seeing each other for a long while, come back together to complete a – for whatever reason – notorious pub crawl in a town that has been taken over by…wait for it…robots (I assume that we’re talking about an alien invasion scenario, with […]
