LEGO Captain America: The Winter Soldier

I don’t know who Antonio and Andrea Toscano are, though I do know a labor of love when I see one, and their Lego version of “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” is just that.  All the iconic moments from the trailer are there, lovingly reinterpreted in Legos. By way of comparison, here’s the original trailer.

Commercially Speaking: Jason And The 3D Printer

Commercials are made to inform about a particular service or entice you to buy something you want (but don’t yet know that you want). Though in practice, most do the exact opposite.  They confuse instead of clarify, and irritate to such a degree that there are some DVR’s designed to skip them entirely. Though there are times when a […]

‘Devil’s Due’ Review

“”Devil’s Due” is slightly more ambitious that most found-footage movies, though suffers from problems built into the format.” Having seen Matt Bettinelli-Olpin‘s and Tyler Gillett‘s “Devil’s Due,” about a newly married couple destined to give birth to the Antichrist, it’s obvious that the found-footage trend, ushered in by the 1999 film “The Blair Witch Project” and made mainstream with the […]

Movie Mistakes: ‘Iron Man 3’

Generally I don’t particularly care about these sorts of things, but having seen “Iron Man 3” perhaps more times than should be legal, I noticed this little error. Truth be told, it’s less of an error than the filmmakers apparently showing us what they can get away with when viewers are in awe over one of […]

‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’ Official Trailer 3

Here’s the latest trailer for “X-Men: Days Of Future Past,” were our not-quite-so-merry band of mutants have to send one of their number back to the past to prevent a all-out war against mutant-kind led by the Sentinels. If the early trailers were guilty of giving away too little, this one reveals a litte too much, though […]

‘Sid Meier’s Beyond Earth’ Trailer

I should be a little reluctant to admit this, but I find the cinematics (the movies that bridge one section of a video game with another) fascinating.  For instance, I like Blizzard’s “StarCraft” but when I am being honest to myself I admit that I care slightly less about the gameplay than the cool little movies […]

‘Maps To The Stars’ International Sales Trailer

As I understand it, this isn’t the actual trailer for David Cronenberg’s upcoming “Map To the Stars,” but one cut for the purpose of international sales.  I stumbled upon it–with more than a little help from “The Wrap”–though it makes me wonder why Cronenberg continues to work with Robert Patterson.  If their last film together, […]
