trailer break: ‘How to Train Your Dragon’

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… How to Train Your Dragon is my favorite title of 2010 (so far, anyway), but this isn’t quite the movie I was expecting to go along with it. I didn’t expect that the dragons would be mostly “bad” — I thought it might be more like National … more…

trailer break: ‘The Ghost Writer’

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Hey, did you know that Roman Polanski has a new movie about to hit screens? Yeah, neither did I. I wonder why everyone’s keeping it such a secret? Hmmmm….

That was cool. Seriously, though: The Hubble … more…

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… This is one of those “Christian” movies that managed to do so well when it opened this past weekend — it was the best performing film in limited release — because it worked the untraditional (but increasingly common) marketing method of targeting church groups and getting them … more…
