So everyone knows Inglorious Basterds is coming, but you may not know what it’s about beyond a bunch of hairy Americans putting Bowie Knife and baseball bat to Nazi noggin. Wonder no more. The new trailer reveals the alternate universe plot and has worked my heart over from brittle and jaded to warm and mushy.

I don’t think this trailer makes Zombieland look particularly great (the zom-com genre was played well and once with Shaun of the Dead and has grown a little sleepy since), but there’s no denying the joy found in Woody Harrelson’s impish and casual zombie annihilation skills and, as Andy and I just agreed, the poster is fantastic. Zombieland opens in October, which, thanks to a craptastically rain-soaked summer, doesn’t feel all that far away.
As we mentioned on The KVNU Movie Show a few weeks back, one of the best films to never hit a cineplex is HBO’s WW II D-Day to V-Day saga Band of Brothers– a 10-part series based on the late Steven Ambrose’s book of the same name. It’s companion piece, The Pacific (covering the Marines WW II Pacific theater and the fight against Japan), has been swirling in rumor and production ever since. Thankfully, production has wrapped up and we’re …
When you promote a film with the tagline “from the director of Wild Hogs,” what does the say about the intelligence level of our society? I’ll tell you what it says, it makes crystal clear that we are on the bullet train to Armageddon. At any rate, “Old Dogs” has all sorts of suck written on it, from top-to-bottom and from side-to-side. With that said, getting whacked in the balls is always funny, so enjoy that part of this trailer for “Old …
Let me be clear: “The Time Traveler’s Wife” by Audrey Niffenegger is one of my most favorite books. Reading it was emotional journey and the novel was a perfect blend of adventure and love, sprinkled with literary honesty and truthfulness. It wasn’t a bubble-gum, Nicholas Sparks-drugstore-paperback-romance and that’s what made it extraordinary. But wow, this trailer makes “The Time Traveler’s Wife” look like the sequel to “A Walk to Remember.” I realize it’s just a preview and this could simply …
Oh my oh my oh my. Based on the trailer for “Shutter Island,” it would seem Martin Scorsese has put together another fantastic film starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The trailer makes me think the movie is a mixed bag of drama, with a slight lean towards suspense and terror. It’s based on a 2003 Dennis Lehane novel (“Gone Baby Gone”) about two U.S. marshals investigating the disappearance of a patient at a mental institution on a remote island. The film opens …
I’ve heard rumblings and rumors of the Sam Mendes-directed (“American Beauty,” “Road to Perdition” and “Revolutionary Road”) “Away We Go” making some critics go bonkers with joy and others thumb their noses at how hard the movie tries to be quirky and comically edgy. I have no opinion, whereas I haven’t seen the movie yet (I hope to catch a screening next week), but judging from the trailer, I’d say it looks right up my alley. Plus, the movie heralds …
I don’t give a rat’s patootie if “Surrogates” is based on a graphic novel (all the rage nowadays), because any movie that has Bruce Willis with “hair” should be flushed down the marketing toilet pronto. This movie is and will be pure crap. Mark my words. I’m sorry, but I just can’t get over that cringe-inducing hairpiece on John McClaine. And who thought golden blonde would be a great choice? Man oh man oh man. Terrible.
My unabashed love for “The Hangover” is akin to Dan’s love of “District 9,” so taking a page from his book, I will acknowledge my adoration, but I will not apologize. No, sir! And with that, here’s Mike Tyson singing along to Phil Collins “In the Air Tonight” in an extended “The Hangover” preview. Enjoy!
Yes, I know The Hangover exceeded expectations. Yes, I know I’m in the minority for giving it two stars. But that wasn’t because this gold-plated impromptu piano ditty. Unfortunately, to make it all-ages appropriate, the trailer sloppily cuts the abrupt, song concluding s-bomb, which is really what made the song all the more endearing. Cussing or not, this sweet number reminds me of an Andy Samberg/Adam Sandler/Jimmy Fallon sing-along and there ain’t nothin’ wrong with that. Please, meditate in the …
