If you tuned into KVNU’s “Andy at the Movies” segment yesterday, you got to hear Mr. Dan Vinton go all Anakin Skywalker on Quentin Tarantino’s new late summer release, “Inglourious Basterds.” Dan says it’s a must miss, I wholeheartedly disagree. I think the movie looks fresh, original and darkly funny – all elements that have made Tarantino’s previous work golden. But I digress. Really, all I wanted to show you were three new-ish posters I stumbled upon this morning on …

Somewhere down the line, Chronicles of Riddick is going to appear in the Showcase of Shame. It’s assured. Destined, even. I’m a fan of the film not only for its ambition, but for the sheer world and universe creation unfolded in its (highly cut) two hours. I know there’s some rhetorical punching due my face for saying that, and while I’ll admit it’s certainly not perfect, the more I see it, the more I appreciate it.
With summer coming at us with a serious barrage of highly anticipated odes to fiery destruction, firearms and the comedies that eschew either, it’s kind of tough to remember that about this time last year, Iron Man was surprising audiences and pocketing their money with giddy relish. The sequel to Iron Man is scheduled to arrive next year and director John Favreau and company have been hard at work in efforts to make it happen. To prove it, they’ve released …
A few weeks back we introduced you to District 9, a Peter Jackson produced tale based on the Neill “In your face!” Blomkamp short Alive in Joburg. The trailer for District 9 has just been released and I’ll belie my partisanship here and say it looks fantastic. While there’s going to be some comparisons made with 1988’s Alien Nation, I get the feeling District 9 is going to be a little less crime mystery with aliens and more sociopolitical with …
We usually designate Tuesday as a special trailer day, but the trailers have been loading up so fast in the last 24 hours that exceptions must be made! First off, for those of you awaiting Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, your moment of satiation has arrived in the form of a full length trailer stocked with stuff you know and sprinkled with stuff you don’t– particularly a Megatron resurrection and a sand-sucking Sand Sucker robot, which I’m sure has a …
Remember that first GI Joe trailer from way back in the Super Bowl? If that got you excited enough to unwrap all the GI Joe toys stashed away in the air-tight acid proof vault in your basement, this new full-length trailer will either send you into convulsions or have you crying for the glory days of the weekday cartoon series. Either way, GI Joe’s got a new, longer trailer with more footage, more explosions and more Frenchiness. That’s right– since …
If you’ve been following Andy on Facebook, you’ll know there’s been a real Meryl Streep/Amy Adams love-fest brewing. And by brewing, I mean a rich, blended urban roast of red-haired crushing steeped in the legendary flavor of Streep. Which is so ironic, because no sooner than Doubt hits Blu Ray do we get the trailer for Julie & Julia starring… an unfortunately coiffed (but darling!) Amy Adams and charmingly primmed (and tall!) Meryl Streep… again! Julie & Julia Follows the …
Battle for Terra, has intestinal fortitude fortified by steel brass and titanium, or distributor Lionsgate has the worst marketing and scheduling department ever assembled. “Battle for Terra“you say? Yeah, that’s the other movie (besides Ghosts of Girlfriends Past— which is also going to be torn asunder) opening up against Wolverine. The one that’s about humans coming to kick alien trash up and down a hospitable planet so they can live on it– the one that’s actually being mostly well-reviewed.
