‘At Any Price’ Trailer - Dennis Quaid and Zac Efron

‘At Any Price’ Trailer - Dennis Quaid and Zac Efron

Here’s a trailer for an upcoming film I have just become aware of: At Any Price. It could be an interesting film, though it could also fall into some traps. Of course it’s also Zac Efron, which may turn some people off right away.

I can’t find an official synopsis at this time, but here’s a really short blurb from IMDb:

A farming family’s business is threatened by an unexpected crisis, further testing the relationship between a father and his rebellious son.

And the trailer:

‘The Hobbit’ VFX

‘The Hobbit’ VFX

Weta Workshop did a bang up job on some of the visual effects of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. While there were some things I wasn’t too impressed with, there were other things that were just spectacular. You can read more about my likes and dislikes in my review of The Hobbit. And you can also hear me talk about it on Episode #23 of The MovieByte Podcast.

But particularly, Golum was simply fantastic CGI work. And The Goblin King wasn’t too shabby. Here’s two videos on those two CG elememnts:

Azog was a CG character I was much less impressed with, but it’s still better than…

Everything Wrong with ‘Looper’

Everything Wrong with ‘Looper’

Looper. You either loved it or hated it. Or, if you’re like us, you wrote down a list of sins you found in the film. Here’s everything we found wrong in Looper, presented in 3 minutes or less.

Be warned, there’s a little language in this “sin tally” that is ineffectively bleeped out.

Despite the fact that I enjoyed this film, I am not blind to it’s problems and was already aware of most of these “sins”, but that didn’t stop me from laughing when watching.

Have fun:

‘Emperor’ Trailer (Tommy Lee Jones and Mathew Fox)

‘Emperor’ Trailer (Tommy Lee Jones and Mathew Fox)

Lost meets Men in Black or something like that.

No, seriously, this does look like it could be good. Staring Tommy Lee Jones as General Douglas MacArthur, who’s name speaks for itself, and Mathew Fox, who I know from Lost and that’s pretty much it. I reckon that’s his claim to fame. But I have had no complaints with his acting abilities there so I’m not worried.

Here’s the quick synopsis from IMDb:

As the Japanese surrender at the end of WWII, Gen. Fellers is tasked with deciding if Emperor Hirohito will be hanged as a war criminal. Influencing his ruling is his quest to find Aya, an…

‘RED 2’

‘RED 2’

Oh man! RED was so much fun! I’m really looking forward to this one. And it looks like we’re bringing in even more talent to the party. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Anthony Hopkins will be joining the cast.

This looks like it will have all the first film’s mix of comedy, and drama, and more comedy. That’s not a bad thing.

Of course, returning to their roles are Bruce Willis as Frank Moses, Mary-Louise Parker as Sarah Ross, Helen Mirren as Victoria, and John Malkovich as Marvin Boggs. RED 2 open August 2nd.

Watch: Featurette from ‘Les Misérables’

Watch: Featurette from ‘Les Misérables’

Take a quick little trip behind the scenes of Les Mis with Director Tom Hooper.

While not long, this featurette is interesting and worth taking a moment to watch. It’s about two minutes, and it shows the film crew working their way through the foothills of the Alps, managing their gear, the camera, and all that while it’s freezing cold. But man did they get some nice looking shots!

Russell Crowe Talks ‘Broken City’ and ‘Man of Steel’

Russell Crowe Talks ‘Broken City’ and ‘Man of Steel’

I care more about this for the Man of Steel info than Broken City, but at the same time, I’ll be seeing Broken City so it’s interesting too.

But there’s a lot we just don’t know about Man of Steel yet. That’s to be expected with Christopher Nolan involved I suppose. I mean even the trailers so far have not given us a lot of actual substance. And we certainly don’t know a lot about Krypton and Russell Crowe’s Jor-El in this film yet. This will mark the first time on the big screen an actor besides Marlon Brando has played Superman’s papa. Even in Superman Returns, they pulled out some…

Just Spotted: ‘Fringe - Enemy of Fate’ Trailer

Just Spotted: ‘Fringe - Enemy of Fate’ Trailer

I just saw this via Fringe’s Facebook page. It looks like it was just posted to YouTube today. So despite having shared a Fringe trailer earlier, I must share another one with you now.

It looks to be epic, but I suppose we would expect nothing less from Fringe‘s last hurrah.

‘Fringe’ Finale Promo and Poster

‘Fringe’ Finale Promo and Poster

The last two hours of Fringe is upon us all too soon. But it’s here whether we want it to be or not. I have so many mixed emotions about this. I haven’t been into a TV show this much since Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis.

This series has had it’s ups and downs, it’s good moments and it’s bad moments. It’s made me laugh, it’s made me cry, it’s frustrated me, it’s made me happy. But mostly, it’s just been good sci-fi drama with compelling stories and characters. And now, it’s about to wrap up.

And Fox has some stuff for us to get us phsyched up for the final two hours this Friday.…
