trailer break: ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ teaser

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… This must be one of the great trailers of all time. Just that tease in the beginning, showing us mere glimpses of the monster, the shadow and the silhouette of his horned head. And then it speaks! I didn’t have any idea what the monsters should sound … more…

trailer break: ‘The Age of Stupid’

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I love the idea of this film, as the official site describes it: Pete Postlethwaite stars as a man living alone in the devastated world of 2055, looking at old footage from 2008 and asking: why didn’t we stop climate change when we had the chance? But … more…

trailer break: ‘Dragonball Evolution’

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… The best part of this trailer might well be the note the fan added to the beginning, about how all those “ignorant” “whiners” complaining about whatever is supposed to be wrong with this movie simply don’t understand it. Also excellent, though, is this line: “With this dragonball, … more…

trailer break: ‘Lesbian Vampire Killers’

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Ooo! British trailers can use the words shitty and cowshit without getting a redband? How grownup! Ooo, and they can use the word fucking, too? Wow. What the hell is it with straight guys and lesbians? Dudes: they’re not into you, not matter what dumb movies like … more…

trailer break: ‘The Damned United’

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I don’t know much about football — the sport the rest of the world calls football, I mean, not what we Americans call football — and what I do know thrills me not one teeny bit. But I do know that Michael Sheen is a riveting screen … more…

trailer break: ‘Adventureland’

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… “Life after college”? I thought this was gonna be a life-after-high school thing. After college, and he’s not even qualified for manual labor? Now, the summer of 1987 was my first summer after high school, and the summer of 1988 was my first summer after dropping out … more…

trailer break: ‘The Haunting in Connecticut’

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… The message: Don’t sleep in the basement! Oh, you know, why don’t the dead just die already? Don’t they know they’re really pissing us off? Also: Connecticut? So not scary. Unless your talking about real estate prices in Greenwich. The Haunting in Connecticut opens in the U.S. … more…

trailer break: ‘Tyson’

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Mike Tyson so repulses me that I don’t know if I want to sit through a movie about him, particularly one that appears, from this trailer, to be geared toward letting him justify himself. Just the fact that the film exists feels like a bit of a … more…

trailer break: ‘Wild Child’

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Natasha Richardson’s last film — she appears briefly in the trailer toward the end: Wild Child hasn’t been released in the U.S. (and no release date appears to have been set), but it was released last summer in the U.K., and is already available on DVD in … more…
