Mistaken Frog Identity - 2 ‘Muppets Most Wanted’ Trailers

Mistaken Frog Identity - 2 ‘Muppets Most Wanted’ Trailers

As I mentioned when I posted the first trailer for this film, I am not a huge Muppets fan. I mean I don’t hate Muppets, but I just don’t get it. But even I have to admit this looks pretty funny. and I’ll probably be seeing it so I might as well get into the mindset to watch it.

It looks like Kermit gets mistaken for the world’s greatest thief who happens to look just like him, and replaced by said thief. It’s up to the rest of the Muppets to figure it out.

‘Aningaaq’ - Short Based on Events in ‘Gravity’

‘Aningaaq’ - Short Based on Events in ‘Gravity’

This one is a lot of fun. It sure seems a shame that this is not somehow available in theaters, though I’m not sure how you would get it there. But somehow connect it with Gravity. This is sort of like a deleted scene that was never made. Given the nature of Gravity and the nature of the way the story was told, it would have been odd to cut to this. We only ever get to see things from the perspective of Dr. Stone.

Still, this is the other side of one of the most deeply moving parts of the film. There’s not really a point other than, oh, that’s what was going on. And that’s a lot of fun.

‘The Desolation of Smaug’ Latest TV Spot has New Footage

‘The Desolation of Smaug’ Latest TV Spot has New Footage

This is nothing as big and dramatic as that full theatrical trailer I posted earlier this month, but it should be fun for you hobbit lovers out there. Of course I’m not holding my breath that this film will fix the types of flaws and problems I had with the first Hobbit film, but it should be fun anyway.

‘47 Ronin’ Clip Features Bad CGI

‘47 Ronin’ Clip Features Bad CGI

So I’ve previously been thinking that this film might possibly work for me on some level — that somehow it might be just strange enough and magical enough and fanciful enough to just work. This clip makes me doubt that a lot. There’s nothing particularly engaging about it, but the worst part is, Keanu Reeves is obviously fighting a CGI monster. That thing looks so fake that I doubt even a four year old would believe it was a real monster.

Who knows, maybe it could still be good and the story could overcome the bad effects. But I’m not counting on it. Frankly, why wouldn’t you show off…

‘The Hungry Games: Catching Fur’ — Best Parody Ever!

‘The Hungry Games: Catching Fur’ — Best Parody Ever!

I admit it, I have a weakness for Cookie Monster. He’s part of my childhood. So this may not, in fact, be the best parody ever to the rest of you. But for me… well let’s just say that nostalgia may have been involved.

Still, how can you not like this? I think you will.

Decoding the end of ‘Inception’

Decoding the end of ‘Inception’

I should not have to tell you, but I will, there are SPOILERS for Inception ahead.

So one of the big mysteries left to us at the end of Inception is whether Cobb was in a dream or in reality. Well according to this French dude, we don’t have to wonder anymore.

I’m not sure if I completely buy it, but it is a very astute and interesting observation. I have always believed he was in reality anyway. It’s what I wanted for the end of the story, so that’s what I believed.

‘Almost Human’ Extended Trailer

‘Almost Human’ Extended Trailer

For those who, like me, won’t catch the part one of the pilot until tonight via Hulu, you are probably still quite interested in this trailer. The pilot is a two parter and part one debuted last night on broadcast TV. I have neither the time nor the inclination to make sure I’m in front of my TV at any set time. Hulu (or some service like it) is the future, and that’s the way I watch TV. At this time the (stupid) powers that be have decreed that Hulu must be delayed by a day. So I wait one day. I’ll be catching the pilot tonight and I am really looking forward tot his one!

I can tell you…

Oh my goodness I’m such a nerd! I have found the most awesomely ridiculous (or ridiculously awesome) thing in possibly this whole galaxy, or a galaxy far far away, or really the whole universe. If you love movies, video games (particularly older video games), and Star Wars you are really going to love this. Prepare to be knocked into light speed!

Latest Trailer for ‘Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom’

Latest Trailer for ‘Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom’

This trailer is set to a bit more, shall we say contemporary beat? than what we have previously seen for this film. I reckon they’re probably having a little bit of a hard time getting interest in this film and maybe some upbeat music will help. Well I’m guessing that’s what the thinking on this is anyway.

I am looking forward to it but I don’t think it’s coming to Nashville for a while. It’s going to a very limited release starting on November 29th and doesn’t go to a wide release until Christmas — which is just annoying. Whatever. I’ll watch it whenever I can finally see it.
