We are still months away from seeing any sort of teaser trailer for Bill Condon’s The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get your Twihard fix right here and now with this image of Edward and Bella doing the mattress dance in the fourth installment of the vampire-werewolf-human soap opera. I haven’t read the, ahem, novels – and you can be damn sure I never will – but from what I gather, there are some downright head-shaking, cuckoo moments …

If there was ever a great example of a teaser trailer, this short preview for Soul Surfer fits the bill perfectly. Clocking in speechless at a little over a minute, about all we know is AnnaSophia Robb (Race to Witch Mountain) has grown up, Dennis Quaid (Pandorum) and Helen Hunt (Then She Found Me) are looking super old and country singer Carrie Underwood is smokin’ hot. But in all seriousness, I kind of like the brevity, tone and feel of …
When a superhero movie grosses more than a billion dollars worldwide and is critically acclaimed (94% on Rotten Tomatoes.com), people, not only fanboys, wait with somewhat baited breath to see what the filmmakers have in store for the next installment. Such is the case with Christopher Nolan’s Batman saga, with the aforementioned 2008 mega-hit, The Dark Knight, and its predecessor, Batman Begins, arguably setting the bar for what superhero movies should deliver. I’m still bitter The Dark Knight wasn’t given …
I’ve never been head-over-heels for Spider-Man as a comic book character or as depicted in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy (I think Spider-Man 2 is the best of the three), and I definitely wasn’t doing cartwheels when a re-boot of the franchise was announced. However, two things changed my mind: First, Marc Webb, the director behind (500) Days of Summer, as the helmsman does nothing but intrigue and inspire confidence in the re-boot’s success. And second, casting Andrew Garfield as …
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, when I was a senior in high school, I read a book for the first time in years (without being forced – and even then I slurped up the Cliff’s Notes) and that glorious piece of fiction just so happened to be Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park. In short, and avid Crichton readers and fans know this, the novel was cinematic in scope, fast-paced and kept me flipping pages into the …
Frequent readers of AATM know that I absolutely, unequivocally love Star Wars, but that I also derive great pleasure in mocking the craptastic prequel trilogy and George Lucas’ hungry wallet (made of rancor leather, no less) and equally ravenous ego that turned my childhood memories from monolithic Star Destroyers chasing the Millennium Falcon through asteroids, Luke’s hand getting whacked off by Darth Vader, and Lando Calrissian disco dancing with Ewoks, to petulant little midi-chlorian-filled brats asking strangers if they’re angels, …
And you thought AndyatTheMovies.com had died a wintery, frozen death! I think not! I’m back from the holidays and I’m ready to bless your buns with the first Trailer Tuesday of 2011. Just think, only 92 more Trailer Tuesdays until Jesus returns and the world gets engulfed by the sun! Two months ago, amidst the Naked Harry Potter Scandal, I posted a trailer for Battle: Los Angeles with a hearty pronouncement the sci-fi action movie, due in theaters on March …
Take Me Home Tonight, aside from being a really shitty Eddie Money song (wait – is there such a thing as a good Eddie Money song?) that makes me want to put a gun to my head, is also the title of a forthcoming return-to-the-80s comedy starring the affable and lovable Topher Grace (Predators) and Anna Faris (Yogi Bear). As a side note, Take Me Home Tonight also stars Teresa Palmer, whom I am seriously crushing on after watching the not-as-crappy-as-I-assumed summer …
