Understanding Art House — ‘Snowpiercer’

Understanding Art House — ‘Snowpiercer’

I was linked to this video yesterday. I saved it to watch when I got home from work, and its worth sharing with you. Mind you I don’t agree with the conclusions the film draws, and I don’t agree with some of the conclusions of the reviewer — although admittedly it’s hard to tell how much of it is just analysis of the film’s opinion, and how much of it is the reviewer’s opinion. Nevertheless, a lot of astute observation going on here of a type and level I can only one day dream of achieving.

Honest Trailer for ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze’

Honest Trailer for ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze’

I don’t have a lot of hope for this upcoming Michael Bay produced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film. But It’s not like the previous films were any good either as Honest Trailers is here to remind us. In fact, they were really, really bad. Honestly after watching and laughing at this trailer, I’m quite coninved that the reboot will be much, much better.

‘Out of Print’ Trailer — Reflecting on 35mm Film In a Digital Age

‘Out of Print’ Trailer — Reflecting on 35mm Film In a Digital Age

If you’ve been following MovieByte and my work for any length of time, you’ll know that I’m a fan of actual film. I’m not crazy about it and I think digital can be just fine. But I also think that actual film is a great thing. This new documentary explores the revival theaters that use real 35mm projection and run older (not first run) films. It seems to be particularly focused on the New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles and features some familiar folks such as Kevin Smith, Rian Johnson, Seth Green, Edgar Wright, and more.

There are many ways in which I like the digital age we live in, but…

New ‘Interstellar’ Trailer

New ‘Interstellar’ Trailer

Well, today is trailer day for MovieByte apparently. All the stuff I keep coming across today that I feel like is interesting and worth posting are trailers. And here we have Paramount and Christopher Nolan opening up the kimono just a little bit. At Comic-Con San Diego this past weekend, Nolan made a surprise visit to Hall H at the well know convention. Despite having made the The Dark Knight trilogy — which might even be rightly accredited with supercharging the current super hero cinema — Nolan has never come to Comic-Con before. That has now changed. He showed up with the trailer you will…

Trailer For ‘Atari: Game Over’

Trailer For ‘Atari: Game Over’

You know, it’s funny, I used to make documentaries, but I’m not a big documentary watcher. That said, this looks like one I want to see. When I was growing up, my cousin had an Atari. I don’t remember much about it except that by today’s standards the graphics, the gameplay, everything about it would be considered pretty bad. But by standards back then, they were AMAZING. I remember nothing about this E.T. game and the demise of Atari, but I don know that Atari basically disappeared. I’d like to know more.

So this trailer looks pretty intriguing to me. It’s directed by Zak Penn who has…

First Trailer for ‘Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb’

First Trailer for ‘Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb’

I’m running a bit short on time today and not sure how many posts I’ll have today. But hey, here’s a new Night at the Museum trailer to make you all happy…

Seriously though, Night at the Musuem, and Night at the Museum 2 were a surprising amount of fun. Strangely I liked the second installment almost better than the first. That said, I can see this film not being so great. I’m not sure what the story is yet. Additionally, I don’t see Amy Adams anywhere in this film. She was probably what was so great about the second film. Well, Hank Azaria was pretty good too.

I’m cautiously optimistic and…

Prison Break Clip from ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’

Prison Break Clip from ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’

As if you need more reasons to be excited for this upcoming film, here’s a pretty awesome clip starring a racoon coming up with a plan to get out of prison. He also seems pretty upset with life in general.

Guardians of the Galaxy is IN THEATERS THIS WEEKEND! YAY!

Old School “‘Guardians of the Galaxy’” Clip on Letterman

Old School “‘Guardians of the Galaxy’” Clip on Letterman

John C. Reilly showed up on Letterman recently, and he came bearing a gift, a clip from the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy... allegedly anyway.

Reilly is playing a law enforcement officer who has the unique pleasure of arresting and locking up the afore mentioned Guardians. Apparently, according to Reilly some of the acting was difficult because a lot of the film is apparently fictional and in front of a green screen (who knew, right?).

Take a look at this clip and I think you’ll be intrigued by the upcoming film…

But seriously, though, the real Guardians of the Galaxy is coming out…
