My wife watched the trailer for The Fourth Kind with me and said, “That looks stupid.” After she left, I got on the ground and rocked back and forth in the fetal position out of sheer terror. I also went and changed into an adult diaper before I decided to watch the trailer again. I realize the prospect of aliens existing or being little green men (or owls) is remote, but still, like M. Night Shyamalan’s Signs, that doesn’t mean …

Aaaaand I’m one of them. I don’t have much to say, beyond once again, we have a live action commercial showing why Halo would make, at the very least, a fantastic war movie. As a commercial for the upcoming expansion to Halo 3: ODST, this trailer is nothing less than a quick shot of adrenaline. I don’t have much more to say than Andy’s said here and here, but I’ll be watching this in HD over and over and over …
Whatever your reason for wanting to hit the cinemas this weekend, one thing is certain – the pickings are slim. Cache Valley welcomes Gamer (R), All About Steve (PG-13) and Extract (R) to the already stale lineup of lingering summer flicks and last week’s mediocre fare, The Final Destination (R) and Halloween II (R). We have no reviews this week, so if I were you, the following movies now playing would be the best bets for your dollar: Extract (R, …
Wow, December of 2010 is shaping up, at least to this film fan, to be a real slice of stink. So far the lineup for 12/10 includes The Smurfs, Yogi Bear and The Green Hornet. I don’t know about you, but that sounds like two potential rivals to the suck created by Alvin and The Chipmunks, and a Seth Rogan movie that willl most likely go down in flames. Sorry to be Debbie Downer, but I get no sense of …
There’s no better way to enjoy a movie than to go in with lowered expectations. No matter how quickly a movie starts licking the drain, it will always fare infinitely better than if approached with a soaring expectation. Of course, that’s a terrible way to experience movies, but it may be the reason I’m not ready to light the rhetorical flamethrower and burn the house of All About Steve– with all the principle players in it, to the ground. All …
While its trailer is trying to sell a movie that its not, The Road remains one of my more anticipated Fall Movies. Dimension has released heapload of scenes from the film– scenes which try their damndest to relay the bleak tone that dominates the book. While film could never match the poetic images as inscribed in your brain by Cormac McCarthy’s haunting, grim (yet humanist) tale, it may come close. Below is a disturbing scene that’s also pretty arresting, so …
There are so many oddities with When In Rome that I’m interested to see how this January 2010 romcom turns out. And by interested I mean this looks like turd. You’ve got Josh Duhamel (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen) taking on his first comedy/romance since 2004’s Win a Date with Tad Hamilton; and you have director Mark Steven Johnson switching from superheroes (Daredevil and Ghost Rider) to laughs and love. Oh, and you’ve got Kristen Bell trying to prove to …
With the fall break in full effect now,new trailers are in short supply. You’ve seen the Extract trailer and you don’t care about the Gamer trailer… but that won’t stop Trailer Tuesdays, Friends! Welcome to Retro! Edition: The Last Starfighter. Since I’ve had its theme song running through my head for the last 2 weeks, you’re getting the trailer to this 80’s classic– with the hope I can wipe its musical stickiness off on someone else. Made before the quick …
