Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… There’s been a lot of films like this one over the last few years, and I’m feeling a bit worn out by them. Not by what they’re saying — we’re addicted to oil; it’s unhealthy for our culture, our environment, our economy, and our national security; … more…
Speaking of Twilight… The movie hasn’t even opened yet, but already the handwringing and the mystified head-scratching has begun: Who are all these people who are clamoring to see the teen-vampire-romance Twilight, and what label shall we slap on them? One of the contributors to the Guardian’s Film Blog might have kicked off the debate … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… I featured the teaser trailer for Twilight this summer, back before I had any idea what the hell this thing was that all the kids were into, and back when the release date was still December 12. Now, little girls are rioting over the movie and … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… What was that movie with the dog and the cat on a crosscountry road trip to search for something or other? Milo and Otis? Yeah, that’s it. That’s what I think of when I see this trailer. Oh, and Bill Murray warning us about dogs and … more…
New films stayed out of the way of Quantum of Solace at British multiplexes this past weekend, which looks to have been a wise move: 1. Quantum of Solace: £9.2 million (2nd week; drops 40%) 2. High School Musical 3: Senior Year: £1.5 million (3rd week; drops 45%) 3. Ghost Town: £.71 million (3rd week; … more…
It’s almost the end of 2008, with only seven more weekends on which movies will open, and I feel a certain emptiness in my movie-loving soul. I feel November and December yawning ahead of me, with very few films to get excited about. Everyone’s talking about what a poor Christmas this is going to be, … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… I’m not sure this is, strictly speaking, a trailer: it seems to be more a kind of promo reel, which isn’t quite the same thing, and it seems to cut off just before the end. But it’s worth checking out because it’s so striking. There’s not … more…
I look out across the seared moviescape that is November — bereft of a Harry Potter movie to be psyched for — and I’m finding it hard to find 5 movies I’m genuinely excited about. I found 3 to talk about last week, but I’m having to fake it a bit for these last 2. … more…
Last week’s box office prognostications for Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa’s opening weekend were optimistic, but there seemed to be near universal agreement that $60 million would be a stretch for the flick. Well: 1. Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa: $63.5 million (NEW) 2. Role Models: $19.3 million (NEW) 3. High School Musical 3: Senior Year: $9.3 … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Fair warning: This one doesn’t have a visible redband, but it must be R-rated for the graphic violence in it. Oh my. This looks like one of those trailers for non-English-language films where they try to disguise the fact that it’s subtitled by simply not showing … more…
