Has Pixar ever done a trailer like this? I may be wrong but I don’t remember it. The majority of the trailer is clips from other Pixar films. These clips, along with the help of onscreen text, show us the range of emotions and feelings PIxar has been through in their many films over the years. It then concludes with introducing us to some actual footage and characters from the upcoming film.

It felt very odd and frankly, I don’t think I liked it. There was something very distinctly back patting about this approach. There is a time and place in marketing messages to gently remind us of the…

The buzz around this film is now so strong I keep feeling like a very angry swarm of tracker jackers is descending upon me. But, it turns out it’s just marketing, mixed with serious emotions seemingly spiraling out of control.

Seriously though, I do worry about how I will view this film. I try to be very cognizant of my biases and influences. I try to understand why I do or do not like something. I have a bad feeling that this film’s hype may be surpassing my ability to control and counteract in my own mind. That said, this trailer — what is being reported to be the final trailer we will see…

While I prepare myself for nothing but the deepest disappointment from this film, I cannot help but to be quite excited by this trailer. Some Christians are going to scoff and point fingers at this point, but I think it’s too early for that. For instance I can see that some will say that Moses is delivering God’s word to Pharaoh in quite an arrogant and unbecoming way and having conversations with him that are not recorded in the Bible. Well, that’s true, but I don’t think we should deny the fact that there may have been (and most certainly were) events that transpired that are not recorded…

They took his daughter and sold her as a sex slave, then they took his wife, then they took him. Now it looks like they’re taking Bryan Mills’ freedom and charging him with murder. Ahh, but he is obviously being framed so, let the games begin.

This third entry in the Taken franchise was written and is being produced by Luc Besson, and the directorial duties fall to one of his protégés, Olivier Megaton.

I have no particular interest in this film, but I do have hope that perhaps it can be better than the second film, which didn’t always make a lot of sense and was not nearly as good as the…

Anybody else getting more and more excited for this one? I feel like I’m going to be let down just because I’m so high on the hype, not because the film is or will be bad.

this trailer gives us several more glimpses of what is to come. While earlier trailers focused much more on earth and the leaving of earth, this trailer shows us that probably at least half the movie takes place off of the planet earth. The story of our primary protagonist, Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) appears to be a compelling one. For instance, if you had to choose between your family and a dying planet, or piloting a…

“It is forbidden to murder. Therefore all murderers are punished, unless they kill in large numbers, and to the sound of trumpets.” — Voltaire

Few people are aware that Indonesia saw one of the greatest genocides of the 1960s, in which between 500,000 and 1,000,000 (an Indonesian official has pegged the number at 2.5 million) supposed communists were slaughtered by a right wing military dictatorship. Here are a few facts I found out about it: When reports of the genocide arrived in the US in the sixties, it was seen as triumph for democracy, a proof that the so called domino effect — the…

It’s a day for trailers here on MovieByte. Now up for your consideration: Big Hero 6. This is certainly our biggest and most expansive look at the upcoming film. Little wonder since we’re sneaking up on the November 7th release date. And it’s looking pretty fantastic. It’s the story of a kid and his robot, and a bunch of nerds fighting a super villain, what’s not to like?

This marks the first collaboration between Disney animation and Marvel Studios. Sure, Disney technically owns Marvel, but they’ve maintained Marvel as a seperate and independent entity so this cooperation is the…

So, speaking of sci-fi…

Call me a sucker for it, call me silly, insane, whatever, but I still think this film looks really good. I know there are a lot of warning signs, I know it looks just a little too slick, I know that there was a reason it was moved to a February release date — right off of prime real estate — but I think it looks fantastic.

The Wachowskis have been pretty hit or miss for my part. While The Matrix holds a very special place near and dear to my heart, the follow up films in that franchise were not up to that first film’s genius. And please don’t even get me started…

Ethan Hawke is a temporal agent — or at least he’s playing one in the trailer for the upcoming Predestination.

I do not believe time travel is actually possible — or if it is, it will most certainly not work the way it does in the movies (I mean really, a Delorean?). That said, I’m a pretty notorious nut for sci-fi, and time travel can make for some great sci-fi. And this certainly looks like great stuff. It’s an interesting take in that it has sort of a film noir look to it, but it’s a time travel film. There’s also the idea that I’m sure appeals to all of us on some level, and that is, if…
