From District 9 director Neill Blomkamp comes a new sci-fi thriller, Elysium. I can’t tell a whole lot about the plot yet, but I’m not convinced I am going to like the ultimate message of the film about equality, taking from the haves to give to the have nots, etc. But maybe I don’t know what I’m talking about yet. And it does look to be at least an entertaining science fiction film.

This film will be in theaters on August 9.

Set in the year 2159, where the very wealthy live on a man-made space station while the rest of the population resides on a ruined Earth, a man takes on a mission…

This trailer may be made of of footage we’ve largely already seen, but who of us doesn’t love a good trailer? And who’s not dying to know what Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan have in store for us with a Superman reboot?

The whole thing with the music is still bugging me. I don’t think we’ve yet heard what it’s going to sound like. And for those who don’t know, those opening notes with the voicing are a direct lift from Hans Zimmer’s Gladiator score. I hope it doesn’t sound anything like that because it would be completely wrong.

Straight from Krypton, Man of Steel flies into theaters…

Man, Universal is releasing a steady stream of these featurettes for Oblivion. They’ve been focusing on Tom Cruise, using practical effects of CG when possible, the beauty of the film and the scenery, the director Joseph Kosinski and more.

The two I have here today focus on filming on the mountain peak, Earl’s Peak, and filming on set at the New York Public Library with Tom Cruise doing most of his own stunts.

I really love the look of the work they’re doing here and I’m looking forward more and more to this film. I know I’m setting myself up for disappointment, but maybe it will live…

“You just died, pal. I’m gonna come get the body.”

You know, it could be that Stark is such a well known public figure that his address(es) are public knowlege and stuff anyway, but it doesn’t seem like a really good idea to give The Manderin his home address, But whatever.

This clip shows that Tony Stark is pretty ticked at The Manderin about something or other, who knows what. But this seems to be like the prelude to the scene in the trailers where Tony’s home in Malibu is getting blown up so I’m guessing it wasn’t the greatest idea in the world.

I’m looking forward to May 3. Should…

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…

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is set for release one year from now, on April 4, 2014. So that’s exactly how long directors Anthony and Joe Russo will have to complete the film. Principal photography began Monday, and Disney released the first image along with a full press release. The release confirms the returns of Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell, Sebastian Stan, and the presence of new additions Robert Redford, Anthony Mackie, Frank Grillo, Georges St. Pierre and others.

Check out the photo, they use regular old flags and C-Stands just like we do on the low budget indie productions I…

I have three children, ages 11, 8 and 5, so I’m entitled to use my sternest sounding mother voice to say this to all of the concerned folks who think Pixar is ruining its legacy: “Calm down.” Seriously, give it a break. The world isn’t ending, Pixar isn’t selling its soul, and there’s no reason to fear the coming of “Finding Dory.”

And although I don’t know anyone who has seen the upcoming “Monsters Inc.” prequel “Monsters University” yet, the trailers and clips make it look as charming as the original. I can tell you without a doubt that I’d rather see “Monsters University” than…

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,…

For Zack Snyder‘s Man of Steel, composer Hans Zimmer an unenviable task. Unlike in 2006′s Superman Returns where composer John Ottman was able to use John Williams‘ iconic 1978 Superman theme, Snyder preferred to distance his film from all of the previous Superman films. That meant Zimmer was tasked with writing music that would work to inspire in the context of the new film, but also wouldn’t be totally overshadowed by Williams.

I’ve been on record as liking Superman Returns. Still, I am looking forward to seeing what this complete reboot could bring to the table. And yet I still think…
