retro trailer: ‘Alice in Wonderland’ (1951)
Take a look back at an old trailer… I don’t think I’ve ever seen this Disney movie… or if I have, I have no memory of it whatsoever. The thing is, maybe, that I was a little kid in the dark ages before home video. I would have had to see this in a theater … more…
trailer break: ‘The Bounty Hunter’
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Okay, here’s an idea. We’ll make the guy a bounty hunter. He’s just doing his job, see? So when the hairy-legged feminazis start bitching about how we’re making a joke about a man imprisoning a woman in the trunk of a car, we can just say, “Hey, … more…
trailer break: ‘She’s Out of My League’
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Fantastic! Yet another movie that indulges the male fantasy that no matter how much of a pathetic dork a guy is, he can snag a girlfriend so hot that she walks in slow motion and carries her own wind with her, likes hockey, doesn’t wear underwear, inspires … more…
trailer break: ‘Solomon Kane’
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… In my experience, bad guys who announce that they’ve renounced violence are just asking for trouble. This looks really interesting: The 15th century is not a period that sees a lot of fantasy set there, and I can’t think of another Puritan action hero. (That sounds like … more…
trailer break: ‘Our Family Wedding’
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… It’s My Big Fat Multicultural Wedding! With goofy dads who hate each other and indulge in ethnic stereotyping… because it’s adorable! Also: There’s a goat hopped up on Viagara! I bet the screenwriters are so proud of that last one. I hope Pfizer’s getting a cut every … more…
trailer break: ‘Iron Sky’ teaser
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… There’s no actual footage from this film in the trailer, because it hasn’t begun production yet, but it’s labeled a “scifi comedy from the creators of Star Wreck,” so it’s not likely to be as intense as this beautiful teaser would suggest. I mean, “space Nazis on … more…
retro trailer: ‘Blonde Pickup’ (aka ‘Racket Girls’)
Take a look back at an old trailer… Salacious yet feminine! Naughty yet ladylike! Cautionary tale for innocent young wowen! Sensational entertainment for curious young men! Blonde Pickup (aka Racket Girls) is available on Region 1 DVD as part of the package Wrestling Women USA from Amazon.com and from Amazon.ca and as an “experiment” in … more…
trailer break: ‘Remember Me’
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Really? Should we just write, right here, the scene at the end of the second act in which Emilie de Ravin discovers that Robert Pattinson was arrested by her father and she’s heartbroken because it means that he was only using her to get to her dad, … more…
trailer break: ‘A Prophet (Un Prophète)’
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to be a half-Arab, half-Corsican gangster in a French prison… But I kid one of this year’s Oscar nominees for Best Foreign Language film. A Prophet (Un Prophète) is now playing in the U.K.; it opens in the U.S. … more…
