Last week, fan pants were soiled when a behind the scenes teaser for Predators upstaged SXSW and quickly made its way to AATM. Not a week later, the teaser trailer hits, showing more scenes of running, sweating and nervous glancing. For its part, the trailer is pretty effective — even more so if you haven’t seen the teaser– but I’m not on board. Still. Robert Rodriguez, who’s not directing but has his fingerprints all over the project, isn’t a guy …

I’ll be honest, I had zero desire to see Repo Men early on its marketing, but after some slick TV spots and this director’s cut red band trailer, my curiosity is certainly piqued and I’m actually looking forward to attending the screening this evening. Plus, the cast – Jude Law (Sherlock Holmes), Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland), Liev Schrieber (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and Alice Braga (Blindness) – isn’t what I would call the C-list variety. These are bona …
Yawn. Been there done that – that’s what I feel after watching this new trailer for Shrek Forever After. You can also see all the lame ways DreamWorks is going to prostitute the 3-D abomination in this movie. I honestly can say after this looks like as crappy as Shrek 3, and I really hope this is the end of the Shrek franchise.
Twilight is what it is: Love it, hate it or care less. I don’t begrudge anyone their love for the series, but tend to hold coats in the “care less” line. The new trailer for the latest entry (directed by 30 Days of Night‘s David Slade and chomping at the bit for its June 30 release) doesn’t help, considering it could have easily been used for last year’s New Moon. Has such a simple story ever felt like its climax …
Is this really anything eloquent or witty I can say about this Iron Man 2 trailer that isn’t summed up by simply saying: Wow? Still, this trailer gives us a deeper look at Whiplash, played by Mickey Rourke, as well as glimpses of Rhodey Rhodes/War Machine (Don Cheadle), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell) and Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson). And even though the cast is eclectic and talented and Scarlett Johansson makes me drool, the driving force …
At this point, nine months out, I’m not sure there’s anything we can say here about Tron Legacy that hasn’t already been said from what little we’ve seen. Andy’s not so hot on Tron Legacy. I think it looks exciting, slick and am chomping at the bit. Tron‘s first theatrical trailer– the one debuted before Alice in Wonderland— has been released to the internet. Judging by the $114 million haul Alice made over the weekend, most of you have probably …
I don’t care for the Prince of Persia video game franchise. I’m not a huge fan of Jake Gyllenhaal (although I did like him in Zodiac) and I’m usually hit and miss with everyone’s favorite guy that once played Gandhi, Ben Kingsley (Shutter Island). So, to say the least, I have not been in the Cartwheel Club for Disney’s Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. From posters to trailers, thus far the movie has failed to hook me. Imagine …
I’m sending you back to 1982 via Trailer Tuesday with The Pirate Movie, a musical loosely based on Gilbert and Sullivan’s “comic opera,” The Pirates of Penzance. You remember 1982. It was the year of the Tylenol cyanide scare, the first artificial heart transplant and the year Michael Jackson’s Thriller sold 20 million albums to become the biggest selling record ever. Me? I had just turned 8 years-old and had spent that summer crying at E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, crapping my …
If anything, the New Nightmare on Elm Street is going to be a great looking schlock-fest. We’ve see the trailer that came out way back in September, but it wasn’t until checking out this new green band I noticed how slick the new Nightmare looks. Sure, there’s a gooey pile of shots lifted straight from the first, but this one shakes its pretty ass while doing it. Still, that’s not to say it’s going to be worth recommending. Or will …
Luke Wilson is long gone from his best acting performances in The Royal Tenenbaums and Old School, but the current AT&T Wireless spokesman, looking rather plump these days, definitely has the potential and skill to find his niche again in Hollywood. Perhaps Middle Men, a movie – and a true story I might add – about a family man who helped launch the first-ever web porn billing business, is the type of picture and role Wilson needs to remind everyone …
