trailer break: ‘The September Issue’

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Anna Wintour is the devil who wears Prada, in case you weren’t already aware of that. I worked for a few years at a competitor of Vogue — W magazine — which also produced an unholy September issue every year so large that it could be used … more…

trailer break: ‘Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs’

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Mmmm, meatballs. I’ve seen the film, and it is even more delightful than the trailer makes it out to be. And the trailer isn’t one of those that spoils everything, either. Heh heh: spoilers. Maybe they put this trailer in the fridge so nothing would get spoiled. … more…

trailer break: ‘My One and Only’

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Renee Zellweger’s got spunk. I hate spunk. I mean, not really. But Zellweger’s brand of spunk is so damn annoying. She won an Oscar for crinkling her nose? Really? My One and Only is now playing in New York and Los Angeles, and is expanding across North … more…

trailer break: ‘I Can Do Bad All by Myself’

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Oh god, Tyler Perry is at it again. I mean, at exactly the same thing again. This looks like precisely the same crap he’s come up with before, multiple times: a Frankenstein’s monster of a movie that’s all slapstick comedy and crossdressing caricatures welded via some unholy … more…

trailer break: ‘Sorority Row’

Based on the acclaimed novel by the Dalai Lama and winner of this year’s Palme d’Or– no, wait, that was another movie. And people say there are no roles for hot women in Hollywood– no, wait, they don’t say that. I bet Princess Leia is the killer even though the trailer makes it look like … more…

trailer break: ‘Carriers’

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I liked this better the first time around, when it was called The Stand. Or 28 Days Later. Or Dawn of the Dead. Or Mulberry Street. Or the Resident Evil movies. No, scratch that: I don’t actually like the Resident Evil movies. Still, I have this terrible … more…

trailer break: ‘Crude’

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Huffington Post called this “the film Chevron doesn’t want you to see” — and it’s easy to see why. Director Joe Berlinger makes amazing documentaries, such as Paradise Lost, about three teenagers that the film appears to prove were wrongly convicted of murder and appears to uncover … more…

trailer break: ‘All About Steve’

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Oh, it’s about a stalker girl! Isn’t that hilarious? Sandra Bullock comes on too strong for poor wittle Bradley Cooper that he just has to run away… and then she chases him. I’ve paused 68 seconds into the trailer to get that paragraph above down, and already … more…

trailer break: ‘Whiteout’

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Such a gloriously cheesy trailer! Forget 30 days of night — it’s about to be six months of night in Antarctica… and a killer is on the loose! And Kate Beckinsale takes showers in sexy steamy bathrooms! rawr! I can almost hear the ominous voiceover ominously announcing: … more…
