The Opening Scene from The ‘Veronica Mars’ Movie

The Opening Scene from The ‘Veronica Mars’ Movie

The Veronica Mars movie will be released on March 14th, but if that’s too long for you to wait, we’ve got the opening sequence right here right now for you.

I have finally just finished season 1 of the show and have started on season 2. I like it for the most part and I love the look of this opening sequence. And while I’m looking forward to the film, I really want to get through all the episodes before I see it so I don’t know when I’ll get to see the film.

Here’s the opening sequence.

‘Agents of SHIELD: Uprising’ Trailer from The Oscars

‘Agents of SHIELD: Uprising’ Trailer from The Oscars

If you can get past the fact that this is a hand-held filming of a TV commercial this is sort of interesting if you’re into Agents of SHIELD like I am. Of course these things can often be given to hyperbole, but the spot promises that the Marvel Universe will be changed forever by a seismic shift. And who knows what the Uprising implies. And I don’t even know what that means because it’s not the title of the episode airing tomorrow night. The name of that episode is T.A.H.I.T.I. so I’m slightly confused. But I still can’t wait to see it. As usual, I’m a second class citizen according to them…

Watch Ellen Degeneres Opening Oscars Bit

Watch Ellen Degeneres Opening Oscars Bit

As usual, I’m too busy with Church and family for The Oscars. Maybe one year I’ll watch but I’m really just much more interested in finding out whot he winners are after the fact. Kind of strange for a guy who likes movies I know, but I would just rather watch the movies.

But I did enjoy watching Ellen DeGeneres opening bit. Seth McFarlane hosted last year and while he was not universally hated, many think that he was way too low class. The universal opinion is that DeGeneres had much more class, but was not overly stuffy. This can be proved by her opening bit which poked fun an pretty much…

‘The Muppets’ Sequel Song

‘The Muppets’ Sequel Song

Bringing The Muppets back to the big screen in 2011 was nothing short of a rousing success. So it’s no surprise that they’re back this year. And by all accounts, it looks like it’s going to be great.

In this video we get to see the Muppets singing and dancing and cracking jokes at their own expense and telling us how sequels are never as good as the original and it’s just wonderful.

‘Ender’s Game’ Motion Graphics Reel

‘Ender’s Game’ Motion Graphics Reel

Regardless of any other feelings about the film, whether it was good, bad or otherwise, one must admit that the graphics in the film were incredible and breathtaking. Oftentimes the film exceeded my expectations of the things that had been described in the book — which is indeed a rarity for me. I often find that my imagination has supplied far better graphics that what films have been able to give us. Not so this time.

So take a moment to watch this motion graphics reel for Ender’s Game. It captures only a small portion of the goodness available in the film.

Benedict Cumberbatch Performs for Smaug

Benedict Cumberbatch Performs for Smaug

As with the first Hobbit film, I found the CGI in the second film to often be hit or miss. Some of it was best in class, and some of it was pretty terrible. This is a great disapointment in the wake of some of the best CGI work we’ve ever seen in the preceeding Lord of the Rings films.

But one element that was best in class was, indeed, the very dragon who’s name made it into the title of the film. Smaug’s execution as a CGI creation is nothing short of stunning. It really was, to me, as if they had found this creature in reality and filmed him so real was he on the screen. Therefore getting…

The Flood is Coming in new Trailer and TV Spot for ‘Noah’

The Flood is Coming in new Trailer and TV Spot for ‘Noah’

I have two little quibbles with the new full length trailer. First, what’s the deal with the apparent raining of fire? Secondly, the purpose of the ark was not to “protect” the innocent. The purpose of the ark was to save God’s people — the remnant he had chosen. But these are the exact sorts of things I’m expecting this film to get wrong, and if those are the only things I would have to quibble with after I see this film I will be pleasantly surprised.

It is interesting to see Hollywood tackling anything like this right now. Biblical films used to be a big thing many years ago but that has…

‘300’ — The Honest Trailer

‘300’ — The Honest Trailer

So there are the Honest Trailers that make fun of a perfectly fine film and you get a few laughs out of it. Then there are the Honest Trailers that make fun of films you enjoyed but hit entirely too close to home, and you laugh your guts out the whole time, but somewhat nervously. I think this one definitely falls in the later category.

Have a look:

Full Length ‘Godzilla’ Trailer

Full Length ‘Godzilla’ Trailer

You know, I think we may actually have the technology to do Godzilla right this time around. So far, there has been no snickering or cheesiness in anything I’ve seen promoting this film yet. And even though I can’t say I care very much for the Godzilla story, I reckon I’ll just have to see this film. I think this is the sort of reboot that could do very well.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Bryan Cranston, David Strathairn, Ken Watanabe, Juliette Binoche and Sally Hawkins are the stars and the film makes its debut on May 16th.

‘Muppets Most Wanted’ World’s Most Dangerous Criminal Arrives in Latest Trailer

‘Muppets Most Wanted’ World’s Most Dangerous Criminal Arrives in Latest Trailer

I’ve been watching some of the original Muppet movies lately trying to get caught up and recapture my feel for what the Muppets are/were and what they are supposed to be. Some of those movies are pretty good, and some of them are downright awful. But one thing is for sure, you cannot underestimate the power of nostalgia. And these new Muppet films are sure to bring that. In addition this newest installment certainly looks pretty fun, so why not, right?

The film arrives on March the 21st, so watch the trailer and get ready for it.
