Kirsten Dunst in Short Film ‘Aspirational’ About Selfie Culture

Kirsten Dunst in Short Film ‘Aspirational’ About Selfie Culture

I may be pre-disposed to like this because of my general loathing and hatred for the selfie culture, but I do like this. It’s short and it makes a point. If I ever had the opportunity to talkt o Kirsten Dunst, I honestly have no idea what it would be about, but it sure wouldn’t be to ask her tag me. Maybe I’d chat with her about her role in Spider-Man, or what it was like to do Jumanji with Robin Williams.

This short film, unfortunately, may hit a little bit close to home. Check it out

‘Big Eyes’ Trailer - Starring Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz

‘Big Eyes’ Trailer - Starring Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz

I like Amy Adams in anything I have seen her in. Yes, yes, Man of Steel was a terrible movie that I hope with all my heart I never have to watch again, but Amy Adams was good in it.

Christoph Waltz I have actually only seen in two films, but I thought he was good in both.

On that basis, I am interested in this film. I’m not much of an art watcher, but this film does look interesting. It takes place in the 1950s and 60s when sexism was in some ways at an all time high even though at the same time, feminism was on the rise in a serious way.

Amy Adams plays Margaret Keane who was apparently…

CGI Animated ‘Popeye’ Test Footage

CGI Animated ‘Popeye’ Test Footage

Popeye was one of my mainstay cartoons growing up. It was funny and unique and I enjoyed it immensely. Looking back on it, it’s pretty cheesy and probably not really worth watching. But it still holds a special place in my heart.

I was unaware of this CGI movie until just now, and I have to admit the idea of it is not very endearing. Much like my initial thoughts on the Peanuts film, I just don’t think this could be all that good. I’ve been giving this some thought to try to figure out my own thoughts and put them into word for you. I think the problem for me is that reviving these old…

The Practical Effects Abound in ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ Behind the Scenes

The Practical Effects Abound in ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ Behind the Scenes

On of the better films this year was Edge of Tomorrow. It was fun, funny, dramatic, and had a great story. One thing that might surprise you though, is that it apparently made use of a lot more practical effects than you might imagine. We often assume that modern sci-fi is filled with green screen and CGI, and yes those things are most certainly present in Edge of Tomorrow, but this b-roll reel indicates that they used practical effects wherever possible. I find that practical effects tend to abound in good films and this would not be an exception.

I also find it interesting some of the…

‘The Judge’ Trailer 2

‘The Judge’ Trailer 2

If Billy Bob Thornton doesn’t ruin this film, it’s going to be great I think. I’m in and I sure hope I’m not disappointed. The film primarily stars Robert Downy Jr. and Robert Duvall. Billy Bob Thornton is going to play a fairly major role though, it looks like (ugh), as the prosecutor of our two protagonist’s case.

The film will also star Vera Farmiga, Leighton Meester, and Vincent D’Onofrio. Check out the trailer.

First Full Trailer for ‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay’

First Full Trailer for ‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay’

I think this series is getting better with each successive film. That’s what it looks like to me. Mockingjay Part 1 seems no less fantastic than Catching Fire if this trailer is to be believed. And given that it’s the same team at the helm, I don’t know why I wouldn’t believe it.

It does seem as if Katiniss’ interactions with President Snow might be upped and deviated a bit from the book, but I think that will actually be a good thing. Again, just from the trailer, but I continue to be impressed with Jennifer Lawrence’s ability to portray basically the way I had envisioned the character in…

A Taste of ‘Deep Space 9’ in HD

A Taste of ‘Deep Space 9’ in HD

I think the Star Trek series I want in HD the most is Deep Space Nine. Well, I mean, I want it all in HD if I’m being honest, but Deep Space Nine is such a great series and it would be very awesome to have it in HD. I go back and forth on whether I like it better than TNG and it kind of depends on the day you ask me. But it is great Star Trek and I enjoy it and I want it. Let’s make this happen guys.

So to the reason I’m talking about this today: TrekCore put together some of the footage from the HD remastered TNG episodes that features Deep Space Nine — after all, one of the episodes did…

Tommy Lee Jones and Hillary Swank Oscar Bid: ‘The Homesman’ Trailer

Tommy Lee Jones and Hillary Swank Oscar Bid: ‘The Homesman’ Trailer

This one looks to me like a bid to get in at the Oscars. And maybe it is Oscar material, might be too early to tell. I’m not too sure about that premise — three women went crazy, their husbands won’t care for them, and they need to be taken back somewhere, for reasons. I don’t know. But the trailer does look mighty good. And Tommy Lee Jones looks fantastic.

Check out the trailer below, and for good measure, I’ve got an international trailer below that shows a few different things as well.

International Trailer for ‘The Judge’ Starring Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Duvall

International Trailer for ‘The Judge’ Starring Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Duvall

I have been wrong before, but it sure seems like I can feel how good this film is going to be in my bones. I’m really excited to see what RDJ and Duvall have for us here. Downey seems like he’s in his fairly characteristic style with a few twists, but I don’t think that has to be a bad thing. And hopefully I’ll be able to put aside my disllike of Billy Bob Thornton to enjoy this film. I mean, maybe he’ll actually even be tollerable, who knows.

But I do know that I think this film will be a great one. Check out the latest trailer.

‘Villain Pub - To the Tailor!’

‘Villain Pub - To the Tailor!’

I love a good parody as you will already know. The guys at HISHE do pretty good work. It seems like they haven’t been putting out a lot of stuff recently, which makes it all the more exciting when they release something. Not too long ago, they started doing something called The Villain Pub, which is sort of analogous to the Super Cafe, but obviously for the villains. They’ve been introducing it slowly at the end or during one of their regular How it Should Have Ended videos.

So without further ado, here’s the new Villain Pub.

Also, I found a video of all the other Villain Pubs put…
