‘Vehicle 19’ Trailer

‘Vehicle 19’ Trailer

This could be fun if it’s not just one long car chase. The trailer is certainly emphasizing all the car chasing, and I don’t mind a little of that as long as it’s not the whole film.

A recently paroled man unwittingly picks up the wrong vehicle, having just got off a long haul flight. He soon realizes that he is the target of an entire police force that will use any means necessary to stop him and the tied-up female “passenger” he discovers in the trunk, from getting to the courthouse to testify against top-to-bottom corruption.

‘Warm Bodies’ - First Four Minutes

‘Warm Bodies’ - First Four Minutes

Well, it looks like this movie is on it’s way to the box office, despite my better judgement. I expect this film to be really horrible, but they are certainly pushing it. I’ve seen the trailer in front of several movies this year, and now they’ve released the first four minutes and I have it here for you in case you need a morning dose of stupid.

Les Misérables is bound to take the box office by storm, but it’s a musical. Are musicals allowed to do that? Under the right circumstances, such as in Tom Hooper’s film, they stand the chance to. I’m really looking forward to Hugh Jackman’s performance as Jean Valjean. Hugh describes the working relationship with Tom Hooper and more in this interview.

I can’t say I agree with much of anything in this video, but it’s still pretty fun. And there were a couple things…

SoundWorks Collection: Michael Giacchino

SoundWorks Collection: Michael Giacchino

This is a pretty fun look at composer Michael Giacchino and some of his work as well as some of his philosophy and what his influences have been.

Personally, some of his work I have liked, some of it I have not. I can’t say, for instance, that Star Trek (2009) was my favorite Star Trek Score by any means (The Wrath of Kahn still has that honor), but it was decent enough. And this is fun.

Let me interrupt your day to tell you to WATCH THIS RIGHT NOW!

Seriously, it doesn’t matter how you’ve felt about the films of 2012, the editing of this filmography reel (by @genrocks on Twitter) is superb. It makes this editor just a little jealous.

I don’t know much about who this is, but well worth the watch.
