‘The Great Gatsby’ UK Trailer

‘The Great Gatsby’ UK Trailer

Some more on The Great Gatsby. This in the form of a 90 second UK trailer. This is one of those deals that I wonder if I would be far more interested if I had read the source materiel. As it is I’m having a hard time finding the draw and determining what the basic plot is or why I would be interested. Even the synopsis seems unhelpful, which makes me think the filmmakers don’t really know why they are making it either. I’ve been told to give it a chance. Okay, I will.

Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby, and across…

‘The Great Gatsby’ 30 Second Spot

‘The Great Gatsby’ 30 Second Spot

So it occurred to me when I saw this trailer that I have not posted anything about this film yet. That is because it does not look interesting to me in the slightest. But I try to cover a broad range of films and whatnot so It seems like I should get some stuff on the site about it. I know literally nothing about the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald on which this film is based, which may be why I am completely uninterested in the film. It looks like an overly stylized, overly dramatized mess of a film. But it will certainly have appeal to some.

The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey MaGuire,…

‘Oblivion’ - New Clips and IMAX Featurette

‘Oblivion’ - New Clips and IMAX Featurette

I don’t think I need to remind you that I am greatly looking forward to this film. And apparently the studio is making a big deal out of this film as well because, wow, I can’t remember the last time I have seen so much promotional material coming out for a film. That can either man this film is really good or really bad and the studio is trying to compensate for it. I choose to believe the former.

The director also directed TRON: Legacy so that gives me great hope for the film because I really liked Legacy.

I’m not going to spoil it for you, but I think I have a good portion of the…

‘Catching Fire’ First Trailer on April 14 (video)

‘Catching Fire’ First Trailer on April 14 (video)

WooHoo! We will see the first trailer for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire in just ten days and I’m thrilled to hear that. I enjoyed the first film very much — I rated it 4 of 5 stars in my review. And I enjoyed the book series for the most part and am actually hoping the film series can improve upon some of the weaknesses of the books that crept in (mostly in the last book). Either way, it should be a good ride and I’m looking forward to it.

And below is the teaser trailer announcement teaser. I know Joe hates these, but I find them fun and engaging and a great way to generate buzz so I’m…

‘The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones’ Trailer 2

‘The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones’ Trailer 2

If you are looking for the missing link between Buffy and Twilight, this looks like it might be your thing. I don’t know anything about this series other than what I have seen in the trailers. It could be fun, or it could go horribly wrong.

But one thing is sure, there is no lack of films centered on the paranormal lately.

Set in contemporary New York City, a seemingly ordinary teenager, Clary Fray (Lily Collins), discovers she is the descendant of a line of Shadowhunters, a secret cadre of young half-angel warriors locked in an ancient battle to protect our world from demons. After…

Marvel Phase Two Reveals Super Raccoon and Ant-Man

Marvel Phase Two Reveals Super Raccoon and Ant-Man
MovieWeb

If you aren’t in the loop, here is where you can catch up on all the upcoming Marvel movies. “Phase Two” as the studio is calling it, continues the adventures of the quintessential Avengers and introduces new super-heroes to cinemas, like Ant-man, and this suspicious-looking, gun-carrying raccoon. If my guess is right, the animal is a character in Guardians of the Galaxy, and I haven’t the faintest idea what that story is about besides what it implies.

Ant-Man comes to theaters November 6th, 2015. The film is directed by Edgar Wright.

Iron Man 3 comes to theaters May 3rd, 2013 and…

Trailer Baits and Switches

Trailer Baits and Switches

Do you recall that one scene in Return of the Jedi when Luke and the gang rush to board the Millennium Falcon to get out of the sandstorm? Yeah, me neither. But you may have seen a glimpse of this scene in an original trailer for the film! There are many such things in movies that are nixed from the final cut that appear in movie trailers.

Sometimes a trailer just plain old doesn’t have the scene in question, and The Telegraph reports that this led a customer known only as “J Congdon” to post a complaint to New Zealand’s Advertising Standards Authority in regards to one split-second…

‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ ‘Walking Dead’ Commercial

Sorry I have been absent for the last couple of days. Joe has been able to post a few things for me, but I miss digging up cool stuff and sharing it with you. I’ll be in and out with family stuff going on, but wanted to start jumping back in the saddle a little bit as I have a moment here and there.

This is something cool I found this past weekend and would have shared it with you at the beginning of the week.

Box Office Report: April 1, 2013

Box Office Report: April 1, 2013

I promise you the following is no joke.

In honor of April Fool’s Day, Paramount released G.I. Joe: Retaliation. The flick easily earned $41,200,000, stealing the lead from The Host, the movie many Twi-Hards went to see out of loyalty to Stephenie Meyer.

In all likelihood, Host will gain on Retaliation in ticket sales over the course of its wide release. I think G.I. Joe will fizzle out in the box office when fewer and fewer fools are left to watch it. Stephenie’s followers are exceptionally loyal.

But this past weekend’s surprise was the blockbuster of The Croods coming in at first in…

The Wolverine - Full Trailers

The Wolverine - Full Trailers

Alright, so after all the teasing, the full trailer is here. Actually two of them — an international trailer and a domestic trailer. Considering that The Wolverine premieres on July 26, the first trailers seem like they are coming sort of late to the party. As comparison, both Man of Steel and Iron Man 3 coming out this summer debuted trailers last year.

But in any event, here are the trailers. I was only able to find the domestic trailer on Apple Trailers which has a terrible embed experience, Click through to see it in HD and the like. The International trailer is from YouTube and looks…
