If you want to see one last little bit of the promotionaly campaign before you head off to the theaters tonight, here is a clip from the film and a trailer of sorts tacked on to the end.

You should be warned though that this could be a mild spoiler. You can get a little sense of where the plot is headed from this clip.

You have been warned.

This film certainly has a few names behind it: Christian Bale, Zoe Saldana, Woody Harrelson, Willem Dafoe on the acting side, Ridley Scott and Leonardo DiCaprio on the producing side. And yet the film’s trailer has a very indy feel to it. I’m not quite sure what to make of it. Additionally, as the action in the trailer ramps up, the music stays sort of light and in a pop-rock happy, easy sort of feel. It’s a little odd, and makes me feel like it may not be the type of film I would like.

When Rodney Baze mysteriously disappears and law enforcement fails to follow through, his older…

Who doesn’t know that Mary Poppins is a magical singing nanny who uses a bunch of made up words and cheers up children and unites them to their father? Of course we all know because of the beloved 1964 film titled just that, Mary Poppins. I must have watched the film 100 times growing up, though I haven’t seen it in years (and I can still hear Dick Van Dyke singing Chim Chim-in-ey whenever I hear the name Mary Poppins).

Well, apparently there’s a backstory on how this film came to the screen, and if the trailer and story is to be believed, P.L. Travers took some convincing to let Walt…

The jury is still on out whether this film will be any good, and we’ll find out on July 26th. But I’m a bit more interested now than the very first clip I posted made me. It’s certainly an interesting bit of development that someone whom Logan saved many years back, and before he lost his memories, is not repaying a favor. And of course, he doesn’t really remember the guy I would guess.

In this first clip, we get to see a lot more of the scene being teased in the trailers of Logan saving a guy from the fiery explosion of an atomic bomb (wouldn’t radiation still be a problem? Wouldn’t the…

So, in the last clip I posted from the upcoming The Wolverine, I mentioned I didn’t like it and it was a bad sign for the film because the action was not followable and the it was all just shaky cam bad choreography non-sense. Maybe I judged a little too harshly in thinking that the whole film would be like that because I liked the action in this clip far better. This action was well choreographed and much easier to follow.

Of course the real question I have right now: is there a good story here? Obviously the clips and trailers are focusing pretty heavy on the action, but just action…

Another appetite wheter has made an appearance for Agents of SHIELD, and let me tell you, it’s very “Joss Whedon-y”. Consider this bit of dialog from the promo (embeded below):

“What does SHIELD” stand for Agent Ward?”

“Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division.”

“And what does that mean to you?”

“It means someone really wanted our intials to spell out SHIELD.”

That is Joss Whedon dialog if I’ve ever heard it, and that makes me very happy. Many people may not quite get the whole Buffy and Angel phenomenon, but that type of writing is why we loved those…

Well, it looks like they’re doing that thing where shaky camera and quick cuts takes the place of good choreography. But this is just one short sequence so maybe I’m wrong… I sure do prefer it when I can follow the action and I’m not confused by the editing and the shakiness. As it is, everything is moving so fast, both the speed and the cuts, that I can’t even tell what they’re jumping over. But, at least the music sounds interesting, right?

Obviously, we’ve already had a look at parts of this scene in the various trailers and teasers that have come out, this is obviously a bit more of a…

So, according to a search, I have not yet posted anything about this upcoming film. I’m starting to look forward to it so I need to rectify that. In two weeks, Jeff Bridges — a dead guy — will be rounding up some up some dead, bloodthirsty, and evil spirits who refuse to move into the afterlife. I know, right?

It sounds like a crazy concept, and I was all prepared to congratulate the filmmakers on an original concept. But the Wikipedia entry seems to indicate that the film is based on a comic book so, never mind. Regardless of that though, it does look like a fun, and somewhat more…

I have a confession to make: I am not a fan of the original Wizard of Oz. You know, the beloved classic featuring Judy Garland, Frank Morgan, Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr, Jack Haley, Billie Burke, and Margaret Hamilton. Additionally, I do not like 3D films. So I approach this trailer with a sort of “so what?” attitude.

But even so, I found myself wanting to see the film again — oh, not in 3D, but I realized it has been many, MANY years since I have seen this film. I grew up watching it, it’s part of my childhood. So even though I don’t care for it, I may have to watch it again. The trailer…
