Out today is a new trailer for “Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince.” I must admit, I haven’t read any of the Harry Potter books, nor shall I ever, but I have enjoyed all the films for the most part. And this, the sixth Potter film, looks to be equally impressive, especially from the tasty snippets divulged in this new trailer. As a side note, as reported earlier, “The Half-Blood Prince” opens on July 15th and is rated PG. Check …

Academy Award-winning director, and veritable hottie, Sofia Coppola is reuniting with Focus Features, the company behind her highly decorated “Lost in Translation,” for her next feature entitled “Somewhere.” Coppola both was the writer/director for “Lost in Translation” and won an Oscar for best original screenplay. She will be writer/director for “Somewhere,” as well. According to the Focus Features press release, “Somewhere,” set in Los Angeles, “is the story of Johnny Marco (Stephen Dorff), a bad-boy actor stumbling through a life …
“State of Play” is an intelligent, seamlessly paced political thriller that will most likely be overlooked and even steamrolled this weekend by the Zac Efron Love Train. Who wants to watch a chubby Russell Crowe and a graying Ben Affleck attack D.C. corruption when Efron’s rippled abs can be had for the better part of two hours? Maybe you might, but I’ll take the former “Gladiator” star and his acting chops any day over Captain High School Musical. Love him …
I love Blu-ray. I really do. So much I’d marry it if I could. I also love Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings” movies, even more that Captain Flannel Von Chubneck’s “Star Wars” sextuplets. So what to my wondering eyes did I see on MovieWeb.com today? They reference a story taken from Digital Bits.com that states Amazon.com is taking pre-orders for “The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy” on Blu-ray, supposedly releasing this December.

It was announced today “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” will not release on July 17, 2009 as originally planned. Instead it will release on July 15, 2009. Now Harry Potter nerds can don their wizard wands and magic cats two days earlier. This is the best news ever! To celebrate, take a peek at the most recent “Half-Blood Prince” trailer below (the second international trailer, to be exact).
I’m pining for Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglorious Bastards” August 21, 2009 release date like I’m pining for Old Man Winter to stop douching snowstorms on Cache Valley (that’s a pristine chunk of Northern Utah for all you non-Utah readers). Get on with Spring already, damnit! However, this brief “inside” look at “Inglorious Bastards” shown during “American Idol” last night is absolutely, unequivocally, 100% lame. So, if you’re into lame teasers that give you nothing of value, check it out. Loser.
Elisabeth Shue, who once had hugs and kisses with Ralph Macchio in “The Karate Kid,” is set to further the complete gimmickiness of 3D by starring in a re-do of “Piranha,” a campy, “Jaws” wannabe from way back in 1978. The original was directed by Joe Dante (“Gremlins”), this version, aptly and creatively titled “Piranha 3D” is helmed by Alexandre Aja, whose claim to fame is directing another old horror remake, 2006’s “The Hills Have Eyes.” “Piranha 3D” has a …
Five words: Jason Bateman and J.K. Simmons. Comedy gold, folks. Comedy gold. Suddenly I’m excited for Labor Day.
