Take a look back at an old trailer… Clayton Moore’s Long Ranger… in color! I was writing something the other day (about the use of classical music by movies and TV; I’ll post it soon) and it occurred to me that the Long Ranger is a character we haven’t seen much of in pop culture … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Pressing questions: • Has anyone ever bothered to explain why it is that Michael just won’t die? How did he get to be some sort of immortal superman? Or does it not even matter? Do we not want even a modicum of rationality to get in the … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Man, these people are sad! An expiration date as a woman? Jesus. Maybe an expiration date as a shallow person obsessed with surface appearances? Or maybe not, if you apply enough plastic surgery. Then you get an expiration date as a realistic-looking human people, right? Maybe someday … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I always welcome a new James Cameron movie, and this looks pretty much like, you know, a James Cameron movie: I see flashes of Aliens in this, and The Abyss, and that’s fine. But I simply cannot conceive of the 3D being so mindblowing as to push … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Oh, I wish more people were as obnoxious and aggressive as Michael Moore. He’s just about the only one pushing back (other than Jon Stewart). I love to see how embarrassed those Wall Streeters are when he gets in their faces here. They should be embarrassed. But … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Can we assume by the addition of the definite article at the front of the title of this one that they’re not kidding, and that this really will be the final Final Destination? I guess folk just never tire of seeing teenagers die in increasingly inventive ways. … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I mentioned a couple days ago, when I featured the trailer for Gamer, that it sounded like maybe Gerard Butler’s American accent had improved dramatically over its dreadfulness in The Ugly Truth. And here we can tell that yes, he’s been working with a voice coach or … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Fooled ya: this is the “trailer” for the fake film-within-the-film in Inglourious Basterds. It’s meant to have been directed by Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi minister for propaganda, but actually it’s directed by Eli Roth, who made the low-budget Cabin Fever and then helped invent torture porn with … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… So the guys who did Crank and Crank: High Voltage — Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor — are back… and it looks a lot like a lot of other shit we’ve seen before, doesn’t it? Prisoners forced to play bloodsports? A game that’s really real? Gee, why … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Oh my god, that’s Sam Rockwell as “Bronco.” Of course, before the trailer even got to that point, I was doubled over in pain from laughter. I’ve been to science fiction conventions. I know these people. I’ve been eagerly awaiting whatever Jared Hess — he of Napoleon … more…
