From The Archives: Some Thoughts On The Trailer For G-FORCE (2009).

      Wrote this routine three years ago, still enjoy it, hope you will too.     There is something very wrong with me.     I saw the G-Force trailer for the first time the other day, and have been obsessed with this movie ever since. It opens tomorrow. I live in fear that [...]

Laughing At You, Not With You: The Trailer for THE INTOUCHABLES.

That’s The INtouchables, not The Untouchables.  The Untouchables is a good movie which I’d have no problem watching again anytime.  Let’s have one excellent moment together before the darkness descends. That was nice.  Now back to The Intouchables. Here’s how IMDb describes The Intouchables: After he becomes a quadriplegic from a paragliding accident, an aristocrat hires a [...]

Eagerly-Awaited Movies Of The Future: ANCHORMAN 2 (2013).

____________________________________________ It’s an easy comparison to make, but it’s an accurate comparison to make:  This is The Avengers of modern comedy.  It’s gonna be hard to wait for it.  It’s gonna be hard to imagine it’ll be anything other than great. I also can’t entirely explain it, but the Anchorman 2 trailer and poster somehow totally remind [...]

Movies Of The Near Future: LAWLESS.

Wettest County was on my list of 50 most eagerly-awaited movies of the year.  It’s not called that anymore, though.  Now it’s going by the handle Lawless, a much more generic title which sounds a little cooler after knowing it was generously bestowed upon the movie by none other than Terrence Malick.  Whatever it’s called, it’s [...]

The Unintentional Comedy of the DARLING COMPANION Trailer.

Darling Companion, which opens today in limited release, has a trailer which had me laughing loudly and obnoxiously for its entire duration every time I saw it pop up in the theaters over the past month.  First watch it, then I’ll give just a few reasons why I think it warrants more ridicule than it’s [...]

31 FLAVORS OF HORROR #15: FRIGHT NIGHT (2011).

I’ve never been one to root for the bad guy, but lately, it’s been happening more and more.  It may have something to do with being a life-long Yankee fan and having to get used to Alex Rodriguez.  More likely, it could be the fact that more and more  movies are being made where better, more [...]

TRAILER: A Dangerous Method (2012).

    A Dangerous Method is the next film from David Cronenberg, from a script by playwright Christopher Hampton.  It stars recent Cronenberg muse Viggo Mortensen (A History Of Violence, Eastern Promises) as Sigmund Freud and Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds, Centurion) as Karl Jung.  That’s right, it’s an action movie about the invention of psychotherapy! [...]

TRAILER: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (USA).

  This trailer made a huge impression on the internet last week.  So it’s only natural that I would wait several days to post it.  For my next trick, I’m going to post nude pictures of myself and send them to a select few of my Twitter followers.  Do I know how to boost my [...]

TRAILER: Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes.

Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes.   Technically, that title actually makes some sense, even though it sure looks like it doesn’t.  Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes.   Huh.  Well, I guess a simple ”Rise Of The Apes“ would say the same damn thing.  Obviously the point is to restart the franchise with a [...]

COLOMBIANA Looks Pretty, Good.

  Zoe Saldana. Guns. Explosions. Sharks. Lollipops. I really can’t think of what else a movie needs for me to be ready and willing to see it, like yesterday.
