Take a break from work: watch a trailer… It just drives me crazy that this is relegated to arthouses and will be seen by so few people. Crap like Jonah Hex — which everyone involved knew was crap before it even started shooting — opens on thousands of screens. But a film like this one … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Sad pathetic old men are so adorable, aren’t they? Solitary Man is now playing in the U.S. and Canada; no U.K. release date has been announced.
Take a look back at an old trailer… Knight and Day made me think, I want to see ‘Romancing the Stone’ again. (The comparison was not favorable to K&D.) This is probably all I’ll have time for for a while. Romancing the Stone is available on DVD in Region 1 from Amazon.com and from Amazon.ca … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… It’s all funny, see, because the car is little. Little car! Bill Nighy should have asked to see Ron Weasley’s Hogwarts transcript before he invited the kid to be his assistant assassin. Kid can’t even handle a magic wand — a gun in his possession could be … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I’ve already seen this, but Universal is embargoing all commentary on the film from critics who’ve seen it till June 28th, so I can’t say anything at all. Not even that an embargo on this movie makes very little sense. But I can say this, and I … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… We learned back in March that Disney was suddenly terrified of princess movies, and so was changing the title of its Rapunzel movie from, you know, Rapunzel to Tangled. And now we see how far the Mouse is going to de-girl the movie with this trailer. In … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… You have to admire Roger Nygard. He took on Trekkies, and that was confounding enough. And now he’s taking on everything. That take balls. The Nature of Existence opens in New York on June 18, in Los Angeles on July 2, and will expand throughout July. No … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I’ve been scolded already for not understanding the appeal of Scott Pilgrim, and I think I can pretty much promise those scolders that if this trailer is representative of the film, I will continue not to understand the appeal of it. Cuz it looks like yet another … more…
Take a look back at an old trailer… For some mysterious reason that I can’t quite put my finger on, Jonah Rex, which is opening on Friday, is putting me in mind of this movie. Interesting how this trailer doesn’t come anywhere near spoiling the best jokes of the film, doesn’t give away the plot … more…
Every week my browser gets cluttered up with tabs for stuff that I stumble across and figure I might be able to use as a Question of the Day or a WTF Thought for the Day or grist for some other post. And inevitably, I end the week with most of that material unused. But … more…
