Jennifer Lawrence Meets Jack Nicholson

Jennifer Lawrence Meets Jack Nicholson

You know, I don’t go all ga ga over actors and actresses so this is a bit unusual of a thing for me to post, but I do have to just say that Jennifer Lawrence is sort of refreshing in that she seemed so genuinely shocked and surprised by the win and success, despite the fact that she has very well proven what a good actress is. There’s still plenty of time for her to be corrupted by Hollywood at 22 years old, but for now, she seems like such a decent person.

‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’ - Two New TV Spots

‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’ - Two New TV Spots

G.I. Joe is one of those films I look forward to just because it’s likely to be fun. I don’t expect it to be a great film, or have an overabundance of plot or anything like that, but it does look fun.

Then again, the last film I looked forward to in the same vain didn’t work out so well for me (A Good Day to Die hard which I just didn’t enjoy at all). Still, I can’t help it. I enjoyed the first one and I’m hoping this one will be at least that enjoyable.

Here’s two new TV spots for you to feast your eyes upon.

Captain Kirk Visits the Academy Awards

Captain Kirk Visits the Academy Awards

Captain James T. Kirk made a visit to the Academy Awards last night. He traveled back in time all the way from the 23rd century to try to help MacFarlane out and prevent him from being the worst host ever.

Seriously William Shatner may be starting to show his age a bit (he’s going to be 82 this year, can you believe it?) but it was good to see him in that uniform again — and I still think that uniform design from the post The Motion Picture Original Series Trek films is the best… but I’m losing my train of thought here.

Check out the video below to see Captain Kirk at the Oscars.

Are you ready to follow the yellow brick road once again? I sure am, this looks far, far better than the 1939 The Wizard of Oz which I have always hated for as long as I can remember. I know that’s sacrilege to many, but I never liked it. I am excited to see what they are doing with this though.

Here are two clips from the upcoming film.

Jack the Giant Slayer - Featurette 1

Jack the Giant Slayer - Featurette 1

Who’s ready to see what Bryan Singer has been up to with Nicholas Hoult, Ewan McGregor, Ian McShane, and Bill Nighy? I sure am!

Jack the Giant Slayer tells the story of an ancient war that is reignited when a young farmhand unwittingly opens a gateway between our world and a fearsome race of giants. Unleashed on the Earth for the first time in centuries, the giants strive to reclaim the land they once lost, forcing the young man, Jack, into the battle of his life to stop them. Fighting for a kingdom, its people, and the love of a brave princess, he comes face to face with the unstoppable…

Everything Wrong with ‘Inception’

Everything Wrong with ‘Inception’

While Inception was okay, it was certainly not Nolan’s best work by any stretch of the imagination. And now, we have the proof! Cinema sins has done a good job of encapsulating everything wrong in Inception. If you love the film, well you might not want to let this spoil it for you!

‘The Call’ Trailer 2

‘The Call’ Trailer 2

Here’s a second trailer for The Call an upcoming film starring Halle Berry that looks like it has some potential. Berry plays a 911 call operator who recognizes the killer from previous calls. I’ll be checking this one out to see if it’s any good.

‘Oz’ clip from Rachel Weisz on Jimmy Kimmel

‘Oz’ clip from Rachel Weisz on Jimmy Kimmel

I’m looking forward to see if this film is any good. My counterpart here at MovieByte, Joe, does not think it will be any good. I’m a bit more optimistic.

Jimmy Kimmel got an interview with Rachel Weisz, who plays Evanora — a bad witch. And he got to show a clip of Evanora talking to an apparently undecided witch (of whether she’s good or bad), Theodora played by Mila Kunis. I find it interesting, no doubt Joe would say it looks silly. Time will tell.

‘Olympus Has Fallen’ Featurette

‘Olympus Has Fallen’ Featurette

I have made it no secret that I think the upcoming film Olympus Has Fallen is going to be a good one. It’s hard to tell about these things sometimes, and I could be wrong, but I don’t think so. And for once, Joe and I agree that this is probably going to be a good one. That doesn’t happen often so, saddle up!

We have here a nifty featurette with a very few things we haven’t seen yet, and some actor interviews. Check it out:

Olympus Has Fallen Is set to open on March 22nd and you can be sure I’ll have myself firmly planted in a theater seat on opening night. Should be fun!

‘Monsters University’ - A Message from the Dean

‘Monsters University’ - A Message from the Dean

We’ve known about the website for Monsters University for some time. It’s pretty awesome and great marketing. I really, really love this indirect form of marketing. We’ve seen similar things with other Pixar films (such as Toy Story 3 with the Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear Commerical and the like).

This is exactly the sort of thing we have here in a promo video for Monsters Universty called, “A Message from the Dean.” The funny thing is I’ve made promos very much in this same genre and spirit for real colleges so this is just too funny!
