So I’ve previously been thinking that this film might possibly work for me on some level — that somehow it might be just strange enough and magical enough and fanciful enough to just work. This clip makes me doubt that a lot. There’s nothing particularly engaging about it, but the worst part is, Keanu Reeves is obviously fighting a CGI monster. That thing looks so fake that I doubt even a four year old would believe it was a real monster.

Who knows, maybe it could still be good and the story could overcome the bad effects. But I’m not counting on it. Frankly, why wouldn’t you show off…

For those who, like me, won’t catch the part one of the pilot until tonight via Hulu, you are probably still quite interested in this trailer. The pilot is a two parter and part one debuted last night on broadcast TV. I have neither the time nor the inclination to make sure I’m in front of my TV at any set time. Hulu (or some service like it) is the future, and that’s the way I watch TV. At this time the (stupid) powers that be have decreed that Hulu must be delayed by a day. So I wait one day. I’ll be catching the pilot tonight and I am really looking forward tot his one!

I can tell you…

This trailer is set to a bit more, shall we say contemporary beat? than what we have previously seen for this film. I reckon they’re probably having a little bit of a hard time getting interest in this film and maybe some upbeat music will help. Well I’m guessing that’s what the thinking on this is anyway.

I am looking forward to it but I don’t think it’s coming to Nashville for a while. It’s going to a very limited release starting on November 29^th and doesn’t go to a wide release until Christmas — which is just annoying. Whatever. I’ll watch it whenever I can finally see it.

Russell Crowe, Emma Watson, Jennifer Connelly, and Anthony Hopkins are teaming together to tell us the biblical story of Noah and his ark building adventure.

As a Bible believing Christian, I am particularly interested in what they are doing here. It certainly looks like they are taking a lot of liberties with what actually happened. But then, there’s not a whole lot of extra info in the text about what happened. We’re told that men were evil, God told Noah to build an ark, and the flood was sent. So there’s going to be a lot of reading between the lines here for a feature length film. And I…

We’ve already talked about how you should probably run for your lives and not watch this because it’s a Young Adult film adaptation and I like it. My track record isn’t spotless here (*cough*CityofBones*cought*). That said, I do think this has some potential to be interesting.

This film is based on the book by Veronica Roth and I admitedly know nothing about it. It has a long list of semi-known and unknown stars such as Shailene Woodley, Kate Winslet, Theo James, Miles Teller, Maggie Q, Jai Courtney, Zoe Kravitz, Ray Stevenson, and Ashley Judd.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Divergent” is…

The first trailer I saw for this film had a particularly sort of almost indy quality about it. I’m not sensing that in this trailer.

I’m still undecided about whether I think this film will be any good or whether it’s just going to have a lot of blood guts and gore and not a really good story behind it. They certainly want us to think they’ve got a good story, and maybe there’s one there. But it’s definitely going to be violent. It does have quite the cast: Christian Bale, Zoe Saldana, Woody Harrelson, and Willem Dafoe. Ridley Scott is also producing (though he just turned out a stinker with…

Who is Disney’s most evil villain? I’m sure I don’t know (Ursala comes to mind though), but Maleficent is probably way up there. And certainly, even just looking at her silhouette brings a chill to one’s spine.

That being said, I’m not sure if I needed a live action version of Maleficent on the big screen. But we’re going to get one anyway. And it looks like Angelina Jolie is up to the task. Granted we didn’t get much of a look at her, but she certainly seems to fit the role.

Here’s the synopsis and trailer:

“Maleficent,” the untold story of Disney’s most iconic villain from the 1959…

Samuel L. Jackson wants to know what you Americans’ problem is. Apparently sometime in the future here, you all are going to be rejecting robots as law enforcement. This is of course going to lead the creation of an abomination of a hybrid between man and machine (obviously, where else could this go?).

I have to admit I was never in to Robocop and don’t know a lot about it. I’ve already seen some negative comments regarding this reboot, but as far as I’m concerned, nothing here is sacred sine I wasn’t into previous incarnations of Robocop. And I have to see this looks at leaset a little bit…

Those familiar with the book will recognize this as an early scene from the story. Katnis is obviously just starting to catch on to just how bad things are getting and are going to get for her. And Haymitch has to try to get her and Peeta through it.
