Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I love how the trailer notes that Jeff Bridges has been nominated for an Oscar four times… with the implication being that, Hey, this could be the fifth, and might even win him the damn thing. Fox Searchlight is certainly pushing Bridges and the film for awards … more…
Take a look back at an old trailer… Funny how half a century ago we were all excited about a new format you could see without “special glasses,” and here we are back to special glasses again. I love seeing those old trailers for how they highlight stars whose names mean absolutely nothing today. Robert … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… It’s been months since I posted a trailer for this one, so I figured it was time for another (there’s at least three floating around)… You know what’s too bad? That line about how they’ve been flirting for hours isn’t in the final film! And it’s really … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Are men endangered? Is masculinity on the decline? Where have all the cowboys gone, anyway? I can’t find out anything at all about the filmmaker here, so I can’t tell whether this is going to be a progressive look at changing definitions of masculinity and manhood, or … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… The January release date is not encouraging, but I like this trailer. I like the new take on the very old vampire tropes. I like that this is from brothers Michael and Peter Spierig, who made the surprisingly poignant Undead on the cheap a few years ago … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I’m confused: Where are the aliens? Is the rugby match being played in District 9? Hey, that’s Martha Jones’s mother as Winnie Mandela! Invictus opens in the U.S. on December 11, and in the U.K. on February 5, 2010.
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… It’s not really that complicated, actually. Nancy Meyers makes movies that look like Pottery Barn catalogues, populated by people who aren’t really people. Evidence: The Holiday, Something’s Gotta Give, and What Women Want. And this looks like more of the same. It’s Complicated opens in the U.S. … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… More counterprogramming for those exhausted by all the quality awards contenders opening this time of year: the new film from Marc Lawrence, also responsible for Two Weeks Notice and Miss Congeniality. Hoorah! And then I actually watched the trailer. Dear God, is there nothing Hollywood won’t do … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I’m thinking this is what happened: The “creative” team of directors David and Scott Hillenbrand and writers Worm Miller and Patrick Casey — who previously brought us the beloved and acclaimed Oscar winner National Lampoon Presents Dorm Daze — were sitting around toking up one night, and … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I can’t wait to see what Peter Jackson has done with this book, which is, well, lovely and perfect and just a delicate wonder that could so easily be smashed (like the ship in a bottle that figures so powerfully as a metaphor in the story). This … more…
