‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ International Trailer

‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ International Trailer

Well now, while I’m still looking forward to this film, this trailer just isn’t half as good as any of the previous trailers. I sure hope the film is better than this latest trailer suggests.

It is directed by Matthew Vaughn, who has done some quite good work prior to this. And the film stars Colin Firth, Samuel L. Jackson, and Michael Caine, so I still think it’s going to be good.

In theaters on February 13.

French Trailer for ‘Jupiter Ascending’

French Trailer for ‘Jupiter Ascending’

I do not speak French so I have no idea what any of the onscreen text in this trailer is saying. Nevertheless, I enjoyed getting a look at some things we haven’t seen for this film before.

I continue to hold out at least a little bit of hope that I will like this film despite a lot of warning signs and red flags.

The film comes to theaters on February 6, 2015.

‘Pan’ Teaser Trailer

‘Pan’ Teaser Trailer

There are a lot of things I’m unsure of. For instance, I’m not sure what attracted Hugh Jackman to this project. I’m not sure why Rooney Mara was cast as Tiger Lily — a native American Indian whom Rooney Mara could not be further from, ethnically. I’m not sure why James Hook appears to be a good guy in this film. A tragic story about a man gone bad?

I am, admittedly, somewhat intrigued by Hugh Jackman playing Blackbeard, but that may be the only thing here I’m interested in. I literally don’t care about anything else going on in this film. But, on the off chance that any of you do, here’s…

‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Alternate Trailers

‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Alternate Trailers

I’ve got a little bit of Monday morning fun here for you. The first teaser trailer for The Force Awakens hasn’t been out that long, but we’ve already got some alternate fan and/or hate cuts going on that I’d like to share with you.

First up, it appears George Lucas has already gotten his grubby hands on the new film and plans to release the George Lucas Special Edition replete with banthas, a whole lot more storm troopers on Tatooine, Jango Fett clones, Jaba the Hut, force ghost Hayden Christensen Anakin force ghost, crazy amounts of Tie Fighters ganging up on the Falcon, and of course,…

The ‘Star Wars VII’ Teaser Trailer is HERE!!!!

The ‘Star Wars VII’ Teaser Trailer is HERE!!!!

Here it is guys, the Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser trailer we’ve been waiting all week for. I had a little bit of a fit when I first thought it would only show in NINE THEATERS across the U.S. and nowhere else. Then they opened up the kimono a little and revealed it would be in quite a few more theaters than that, including a theater I generally like to go to in Franklin (though I probably would have driven 50 or 60 miles to some theaters somewhere in or around Nashville to see this teaser). But I had nothing to fear because it’s on iTunes Trailers, and on YouTube.

I’ll have some…

Disney’s Live Action ‘Cinderella’ Trailer

Disney’s Live Action ‘Cinderella’ Trailer

I’ve said in the past that I am just not the target demographic for this film, and that remains true. I’m not sure why we need this film or what it offers to compel me to go to the theaters to see it. In fact, this trailer makes the film look like an almost completely straight up retelling of the animated classic, without quite so much of the outlandishness — well, in some ways. The whole fairy godmother/glass slipper routine looks just as outlandish as the cartoon.

To me, it looks like this film is trying to dazzle and charm, but it’s lacking what the original cartoon had in those areas.…

‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’ Trailer 3

‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’ Trailer 3

I continue to hold out very little hope that in terms of the Biblical narrative this will actually be a good film. I expect it to be unfaithful to the text. But at the same time, I doubt it will be as bad as Noah was.

There’s also the fact that I really love the tone of this trailer. I love the look, I love the feel of it, I actually really love what little we see in this trailer of Bale’s performance, and Joel Edgerton looks like he’s going to knock it out of the park! There are two levels on which a film derived from a Biblical text can be judged. The first is obviously its faithfulness to…

New ‘Mortdecai’ Trailer Featuring Johnny Depp

New ‘Mortdecai’ Trailer Featuring Johnny Depp

This film looks extremely stupid, so it’s probably perfect for Johnny Depp. He certainly seems very much at home in this film. It’s slightly reminiscent of the Pink Panther franchise if you ask me.

I’m sure the film will get a few laughs, but I don’t know if it will be worth my time to go see. But, you never know, sometimes you just get in the mood for a few laughs at the movies, you know?
