‘Squirrels’ Trailer Features… Killer Squirrels?!?

‘Squirrels’ Trailer Features… Killer Squirrels?!?

What the…? Wait, I don’t even… Wait, what?!?

Words are failing me, and any of you who know me, that’s quite a feat. This film apparently features a town under attack from flesh-eating squirrels after a natural gas company buys up a town and destroys their food chain through environmental destruction. Yeah, it really does look bad. See for yourself.

Mystery Teaser from J.J. Abrams/Bad Robot

Mystery Teaser from J.J. Abrams/Bad Robot

Secrecy Sensei J.J. Abrams has dropped a teaser for… something… on the Bad Robot YouTube channel. Your guess is as good as mine as to what this teaser might actually be for. Some have speculated perhaps it has something to do with Star Wars: Episode VII, but I have to wonder what those people are smoking.

I’m going to go with something new that we haven’t heard about yet, but who knows for sure. The music sure sounds a bit Lost-ish. What do you guys think?

‘Closed Circuit’ Trailer and Clips

‘Closed Circuit’ Trailer and Clips

I thought for sure I had posted this trailer on the site already, but I can’t locate it. To rectify that, I have it embedded below. This actually looks like the sort of film I could get into if it’s done right. And certainly I think at this particular period of time in our world, the theme of every single thing being recorded, and privacy violations can resonate deeply, even if it’s not the main point or theme of the film. As an underlying story, as part of the whole, I think it will play into people’s feelings and paranoia.

And in any event it looks like there might be a good story to tell…

‘How I Live Now’ - Trailer

‘How I Live Now’ - Trailer

This trailer has a really strange tone to it, and I’m not entire certain what the film is about completely. I had to look it up to get a more complete picture. Apparently it’s based on a book published in 2004. Fifteen year old Elizabeth is sent to stay in England during the third world war, but apparently England isn’t far enough away from the war and become occupied territory.

This trailer does not make the material look particularly riveting, but I certainly enjoyed Saoirse Ronan’s acting in The Host, so perhaps it’s worth giving this film a chance.

‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ International Trailer

‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ International Trailer

As a fan of The Hunger Games book series, one of the films I am most looking forward to this year is Francis Lawrence’s The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Returning of course are Jennifer Lawrence as Katnis Everdeen and Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark. And we’ll also be introduced to several new cast members, Sam Claflin as Finnick, Lynn Cohen as Mags, Jena Malone as Johanna, Amanda Plummer as Wiress, and Jeffrey Wright as Beetee. If you are familiar with the books, you will recognize these characters. They don’t get much screen time in the trailer, unfortunately, but I would assume we’ll see…

‘The Hollow Crown’ Trailer Featuring Patrick Stewart, Jeremy Irons and More!

‘The Hollow Crown’ Trailer Featuring Patrick Stewart, Jeremy Irons and More!

So, my wife may be the Shakespeare nut in my household, but I have to say I’m looking forward to seeing this one. This thing looks massive, and indeed, it runs over 500 minutes. It’s a BBC series adapted from four Shakespeare plays, Richard IIHenry IV, parts 1 and 2, and Henry V. And it has some pretty big names in it too. Sam Mendes is the producer behind the project, and it stars Tom hiddleston, Patrick Stewart, Jeremy Irons, and Ben Wishaw in primary roles.

The word Epic may be extremely overused these days, but I think the word can be pretty fairly applied to this one.

This being a…

‘The Counselor’ - New Trailer

‘The Counselor’ - New Trailer

Ridley Scott seems to be somewhat legendary, and he did make the likes of AlienBlade Runner, Gladiator, and Robin Hood to name a couple. That is why I’m interested in this film, although it does look pretty heavy and intense, and I’m not yet quite sure what it’s about exactly. But I’ll be keeping my eye on it.

The film stars Michael Fassbender, Javier Bardem, Brad Pitt, Penelope Cruz, and Cameron Diaz, and it will hit theaters on October 25th.

‘Captain Phillips’ Trailer 2

‘Captain Phillips’ Trailer 2

Definitely put me down in the interested camp for this film. It’s based on a true story, and it looks like Tom Hanks does a marvelous job!

Of course this trailer defnitely ups the action and the craziness a little bit, but it’s still looks like a film that’s low on CGI and much higher on story.

It opens in theaters on October 11th. Can’t wait to see it!

Okay, so, raise your hand if you think this looks really weird…

*raises hand*

Surely I can’t be the only one. I guess you could say the film is set in the future and is about a man that falls in love with his artificial intelligence OS. But I can’t even begin to describe it so you should just watch it. The film stars Joaquin Phoenix, Chris Pratt, Amy Adams, Rooney Mara, Olivia Wilde and (the voice of) Scarlett Johansson.

‘The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones’ - 5 Minute Clip

‘The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones’ - 5 Minute Clip

It looks like Clary Fray (Lily Collins) is in for a rude awakening about the world around her in this 5 minute clip of a kitchen brawel with a demon from the upcoming The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. I’m hoping this film is going to be good. The action is certainly intense, and it’s looking like they are doing some human drama and relationship building so I have somewhat high hopes for this film.

We’ll get to see it on August 21st.
