Take a look back at an old trailer… For Memorial Day, the U.S. holiday honoring our veterans, a movie about a doozy of a soldier. From my review: This biopic of the American general is a straightforward film without subtext or irony, just as its subject is. Not that he isn’t a mass of eccentricities. … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… The party is over? It never really was a party, honestly. Rage-virus zombies infecting a Barcelona apartment building really is no one’s idea of a party. I don’t want to go to that kind of party, anyway. [REC] 2 opens today in the U.K., and in the … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Yesterday, I wrote about how filmmaker Laura Poitras has been targeted by the federal government because of her work investigating and critiquing the U.S.’s prosecution of the “war on terror.” This is her latest film. It’s easy to see why it might make the feds uncomfortable, but … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I know I’m probably setting myself up for disappointment. Because though the provenance of this film — from the same people who brought us Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Yes Man and Superbad — does not inspire confidence in me, there’s something about this trailer that makes me … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… This little flick trounced Prince of Persia at the U.K. box office this past weekend, so I figured I should check out what I can of it from here. And it is sort of awesomely cheesy, from the class clash that couldn’t be more obvious — the … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Girls and guns don’t go together! Everybody knows that. The silly guns never work right and they’re impossible to accessorize. You would think that especially a professional killer would know that, and especially about a girl who’s so indecisive and moronic that she doesn’t even know her … more…
Take a look back at an old trailer… Even pulpier than the film itself! “A big new sprawling space adventure!” This past Friday was the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, which was released on May 21, 1980. Which means it’s been 30 years since my 10-year-old brain was darkened and depressed by this … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Oh, gosh, it’s The Scarlet Letter done up Clueless style! Awesome! And ya gotta love that the slut-shaming of poor adorable Emma Stone comes about as a result of her trying to help a male friend from getting gay-bashed (though I don’t think the best way to … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Huh. I didn’t know Quentin Tarantino had gone to Bollywood. Where’ Uma Thurman? Seriously, though: This film is the big push to get mainstream North American audiences into Bollywood movies. The film is being released on the same day in India as it is around the world, … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Sheesh: men and their economic and sexual dominance. Why don’t they just relax already? Pimp opens in the U.K. on May 21 (and also on demand on FilmFlex, iTunes, Playstation, and LoveFilm); no U.S. or Canadian release date has been announced.
