2 New Clips from ‘Interstellar’

2 New Clips from ‘Interstellar’

Interstellar releases THIS WEEKEND! Obviously the hype generating machine wants to give us just a little bit more of a taste and really whet our appetites.

In these two clips, there appears to be a dust problem on earth that is affecting people’s lungs, and our astronauts are trying to learn when to talk and when not to. Also honesty is maybe not always the best policy? Over sharing, perhaps?

Is it the weekend yet?

Keira Knightly and Benedict Cumberbatch in Clip from ‘The Imitation Game’

Keira Knightly and Benedict Cumberbatch in Clip from ‘The Imitation Game’

Joan Clarke appears to have impressed Alan Turing in this clip from the upcoming film, The Imitation Game. Turing seems to think rather highly of himself saying that whatever problem he has set forth is impossible to do in the allotted time because he himself takes longer to do it. It would seem Clarke is faster than he is.

I’m looking forward to seeing this on November 21st!

Another Leaked Clip for Marvel’s ‘Age of Ultron’

Another Leaked Clip for Marvel’s ‘Age of Ultron’

It sure seems like Hydra has been particularly troublesome for Marvel lately. They keep leaking stuff. Now they’ve leaked an exclusive clip from Avengers: Age of Ultron that was mean for attendees of their big event only. But a camera was obviously smuggled in and out and now we have the clip. It’s a video of the screen and the quality isn’t great, but you know you want to watch it anyway.

There is definitely a growing rift between Tony Stark and Steve Rogers here. Could this be the prelude to the Civil War story line of Captain America 3?

I do have a quibble with this clip — in fact I see…

‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1’ Final Trailer

‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1’ Final Trailer

The final hours of waiting are upon us. In just over 20 days, we’ll get to lay eyes on the beginning of the end of Katiniss’ struggle against the tyrannical Capitol of Panem. Those of us who have read the books are hoping that Francis Lawrence and his writing team can bring a bit more cohesion and sense to the story. But I have a lot of hope after the great film that was The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

The other thing of course is that, while the story is fantasy, it sometimes seems to have haunting familiarity as we look upon our own society. No allegory is ever a one to one match, but…

New ‘Paddington’ Trailer, Now Featuring Ben Whishaw

New ‘Paddington’ Trailer, Now Featuring Ben Whishaw

The upcoming Paddington feature film took a bit of a set-back when Colin Firth left the project. Apparently neither party felt that his voice was working for the bear or the context of the film. But this is apparently a job Q (from James Bond) can handle. Ben Whishaw, who plays Q opposite Daniel Craig’s Bond, is now voicing the fanciful bear in the latest trailer for the film, which is scheduled ot hit U.K. theaters on November 28, and U.S. theaters on January 16 of next year.

In addition to Ben Whishaw, the film stars the likes of Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Julie Walters, Jim…

‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ Extended Teaser Sequence

‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ Extended Teaser Sequence

This is the extended sequence and trailer that aired (as far as I understand) with Agents of SHIELD last night. The teaser trailer portion that follows the teaser sequence appears to be the same trailer we have already seen — starting right after the Marvel logo in that trailer.

The teaser sequence here is pretty fun. It’s great to see the banter between the Avengers — maybe we can assume that they’ve had some small battle and victory over something. At the very end is when the big bad, or what will be the big bad, shows up. The scene has very much the feel of a Joss Whedon creation and I’m…

‘Imitation Game’ Clip Featuring Benedict Cumberbatch

‘Imitation Game’ Clip Featuring Benedict Cumberbatch

So, speaking of Benedict Cumberbatch, we’ve got a clip here from his upcoming film, The Imitation Game. The range that Benedict Cumberbatch is able to play in the films that I’ve seen him in is pretty incredible — and yet he still manages to impress me in this clip by playing yet another character so totally unlike any I’ve ever seen him play before.

In The Imitation Game, Cumberbatch is playing the somewhat unsung hero Alan Turning who, in many ways, is really to thank for much of what we consider to be modern day computing. But he was also fairly socially inept and awkward, as evidenced by…

Marvel To Reveal More ‘Age of Ultron’ Footage During ‘Agents of Shield’

Marvel To Reveal More ‘Age of Ultron’ Footage During ‘Agents of Shield’
Russ Fischer — /Film

The trailer premiere for Avengers: Age of Ultron was originally set to take place during the October 28 episode of Agents of SHIELD. A bootleg leak of the trailer changed that, and Marvel was smart enough to respond to the leak with an official trailer release. So what does that mean for next week’s episode of SHIELD?

Despite the fact that the show’s second season is improved from the first, I saw a few jokes about millions of people deleting the episode from their DVR once the trailer leaked. Marvel doesn’t want that to happen, and will show some new Age of Ultron footage during the show…

‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ Teaser Trailer

‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ Teaser Trailer

Yesterday, the trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron leaked online. Marvel and Disney made a couple of half-hearted attempts to get people to take it down. Then they gave in.

But during all that, they had perhaps the best response to a leaked trailer that anyone has ever, or will ever have:

They quickly relented and realized the best thing to do was just go ahead and release the teaser trailer officially. And what a trailer it is. This thing is super serious. I’m certain there will be some Joss Whedon humor in it, but it’s…

‘Miss Medows’ Trailer Starring Katie Holmes

‘Miss Medows’ Trailer Starring Katie Holmes

Well this isn’t creepy at all. Not a bit. WAIT YES IT IS!

Some has said that she’s playing a Pulp Fiction version of Mary Poppins in this film. Whatever, she’s scary. But it appears maybe not altogether in a bad way? It’s a little unclear at this point. It seems she’s more of a vigilante.

Katie Holmes has come a long way from Dawson’s Creek and one certainly does not think of a badass when they think of Holmes. That may be what makes this trailer most effective — seeing sweet Katie Holmes turn a bit… deadly!

The film makes it’s appearance on November 14th.
