Robot & Frank (trailer)
This is either a joke trailer from The Onion, or it’s the new Cocoon.
movie buzz
Ice Age: Continental Drift (trailer)
I do love the Scrat. But I figure that the Scrat-ful content of this trailer has little to do with the actual film.
question of the day: Are ethnic stereotypes in pop culture — such as the cartoonish Scots in Brave — ever defensible?
Is there a way to utilize such stereotypes in storytelling without being offensive?
People Like Us (trailer)
Chris Pine can’t tell Elizabeth Banks he’s her brother. I’m sure there’s a completely sensible reason for this. *facepalm*
God Bless America (redband trailer and tix info for London premiere)
“Why have a civilization if we’re no longer interested in being civilized?” Oh boy. This is gonna be… interesting.
The Master (trailer)
Disappointed to learn that this is not a film about the renegade Time Lord who has been hounding the Doctor for centuries.
The Invisible War (trailer)
Rape as a weapon of war is a war crime to be denounced and prosecuted whenever possible. Unless, of course, it’s members of the U.S. military raping their fellow soldiers. Then it’s totally cool, apparently.
Monsters University (teaser trailer)
Really? Monsters go to school… and it’s just like when humans go to school? This is clever and original? Is Pixar losing it?
question of the day: Do actors deserve to be well paid for appearing in successful films even if they are not the entire reason the films are successful?
New York Post critic Kyle Smith cries foul at the fact that Kristen Stewart is so well paid for Twilight, but he seems to miss a key point…
Katy Perry: Part of Me (trailer)
I admit I don’t know much about Katy Perry. But I thought she was a pop singer, not host of a kiddie TV show or some sort of porno performance artist. Now I’m confused.
