‘300: Rise of an Empire’ Trailer

‘300: Rise of an Empire’ Trailer

This appears to be a film about slow motion — LOTS of slow motion.

Believe it or not, I have not seen the first film, 300. I suppose I’ll have to fix that. I wasn’t watching as many films in theater when that came out and at the time it just did not appeal to me. I’m still not sure it does, but I should probably watch it. It might help this trailer to make more sense, and maybe I’d understand why over half the shots in this trailer are slo-mo.

After its victory over Leonidas’ 300, the Persian Army under the command of Xerxes marches south towards the major Greek city-states. The…

‘In a World’ Trailer

‘In a World’ Trailer

Germain Lussier over at /Film had this to say about the trailer:

From the instant In A World… premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, I remember thinking, “I can’t wait to see the trailer for that.” That day is here. Written, directed by and starring Lake BellIn A World… is the story of young woman trying to make a living in the male-dominated field of voice over work, specifically that of movie trailers. When marketers for a new movie decide to reinstate the classic phrase “In a world” for the film’s trailer, a competition breaks out that pits the young woman against her father…

‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug’ Teaser Trailer

‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug’ Teaser Trailer

Will the dragon be slain? Will Bilbo survive? Will they get the gold? Will the evil orc be defeated? It’s all so suspenseful…

Well, something like that anyway. If you’re itching to see Bilbo back in action this winter on the big screen, you can whet your appetite with this teaser. And we will be seeing new characters in this film played by Evangeline Lilly, Luke Evans, Benedict Cumberbatch among others. As well as a returning character or two. such as Legolas played by Orlando Bloom. I have to say it’s not quite pulling me in the way the the first teaser for the first Hobbit film…

‘White House Down’ Extended Trailer

‘White House Down’ Extended Trailer

This sort of looks like Olympus has Fallen on steroids. I liked Olympus has Fallen okay, but this has the potential to be even better. Or it could be a lot worse. I don’t think there will be any in between with this one.

One thing is for sure, there will be lots of explosions, and the president will get to fight back a lot more in this one. Oh, and there’s going to be humor — lots of humor. Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx should be able to deliver a good flick so I choose to hope for the best.

In Columbia Pictures’ White House Down, Capitol Policeman John Cale (Channing Tatum) has just…

‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D’’ NBA Finals Spot

‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D’’ NBA Finals Spot

Apparently, not all heroes are super, at least that’s what we’re being told by the marketing team behind Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. What do you guys think?

Personally, I’m really looking forward to this one. It will be good to have something close to Joss Whedon back on TV. It’s a crying shame that Firefly didn’t stay on TV, but on the other hand, would we have The Avengers and consequently, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. if Firefly had made it? Events transpired the way they did and we have what we have. That’s the way things go I guess. I’m really looking forward to this for sure!

2 Clips and a 30 Second Spot for ‘Man of Steel’

2 Clips and a 30 Second Spot for ‘Man of Steel’

With less than a week to go before we get to see Man of Steel in theaters we’re likely to see a lot of teasers, footage, and other promotional material for the film. I’m assuming that Christopher Nolan, as the producer, won’t let anything out there that might be too spoilery, so I’m looking forward to this week’s trickle of teasers and the like, followed by one of the best films of the summer on Friday! My wife and I have our tickets and we’re greatly looking forward to it (don’t let me down Superman!).

So here are two clips from the film, and a 30 second trailer. The second clip is…

Big ‘Man of Steel’ Trailer

Big ‘Man of Steel’ Trailer

Get ready for June 14th, it’s going to be a big one guys! This trailer is pretty epic. I don’t know if it’s as epic is the final trailer for Star Trek was, but it’s way up there.

There’s not a lot of words in this trailer, but you really don’t need them. It works so well and communicates everything it needs to. And man am I ready. Are you ready? Buckle up! Let’s see what Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan’s vision is for the Superman!

Will Smith Answers Questions about ‘After Earth’

Will Smith Answers Questions about ‘After Earth’

This is from May 31st and I’ve been meaning to post it because I thought you all might be interested in it. So better late then never right?

Many people are not too happy with After Earth, some are claiming it lacks ambition or originality. To both of those I say their nuts. Many are saying it’s due to the Scientology present in the film. Well here’s the deal, I don’t know anything about Scientology, so I evaluated the film in a very straightforward way based on the story and whether it was any good. And I have to say that while flawed, I liked it fairly well.

In any event, if you want…

Joss Whedon talks ‘Much Ado’

Joss Whedon talks ‘Much Ado’

With the film making it’s wide theatrical release on June 14, some of you may want to hear from the man himself a little bit about the film, and I am here to satisfy that longing.

He talks about casting Amy Acker and Alexis Denisof and how he normally likes to cast them as star crossed lovers and he thought it might be nice to un-cross them, what it was like to work with someone else’s characters (again) since he’s most well known for creating new and unique original characters, oh, and what would an ice cream named after him be called… wait, what?

Anyway, check it out.

‘The Lone Ranger’ Featurette: ‘Spirit Platform’

‘The Lone Ranger’ Featurette: ‘Spirit Platform’

Who’s ready to see captain Jack Sparrow play an American Indian in The Lone Ranger? Oh, you aren’t, you don’t care you say? Too bad, because this thing is happening. And truth be told, it will probably be pretty fun, even if Johnny Depp’s style is starting to wear a little thin, at least for me. It’s kind of like someone said, “what if we do Pirates of the Caribbean without the water and ships? What if we make it about a ranger? Hey I know, it can be The Lone Ranger!”

So you’ll forgive me for not being overly excited. Besides, if history is any indication, since I don’t expect the film to…
