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…
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…. Look at that cast: Ewan McGregor, Pierce Brosnan, Kim Cattrall, Olivia Williams — Timothy Hutton’s in this, too, … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Hmm, lessee: a movie written and directed by a woman — Floria Sigismondi — about a bunch of young women doing something awesome and unexpected and for themselves, not for men or for babies.

Kevin Smith thinks it’s funny that the new title — changed for obvious reasons of prudery — is Cop Out (after an interim alteration to A Couple of Cops). Unfortunately, the trailer makes the movie … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Remember how when the space shuttle lost all its air and no one knew if the Hubble repair astronauts would be able to slingshot around the Moon and get home again, but after three days of nailbiting suspense, they did? 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…

Fun for Wednesdays! We look at an image from an upcoming movie or TV show and write snarky, witty, or otherwise entertaining captions for it. No prizes, it’s just for fun. Is this a vase I see before me?: Lionsgate tells us about the film: A low-ranking intelligence operative (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) working in the … more…
