New ‘Interstellar’ Trailer

New ‘Interstellar’ Trailer

Well, today is trailer day for MovieByte apparently. All the stuff I keep coming across today that I feel like is interesting and worth posting are trailers. And here we have Paramount and Christopher Nolan opening up the kimono just a little bit. At Comic-Con San Diego this past weekend, Nolan made a surprise visit to Hall H at the well know convention. Despite having made the The Dark Knight trilogy — which might even be rightly accredited with supercharging the current super hero cinema — Nolan has never come to Comic-Con before. That has now changed. He showed up with the trailer you will…

Trailer For ‘Atari: Game Over’

Trailer For ‘Atari: Game Over’

You know, it’s funny, I used to make documentaries, but I’m not a big documentary watcher. That said, this looks like one I want to see. When I was growing up, my cousin had an Atari. I don’t remember much about it except that by today’s standards the graphics, the gameplay, everything about it would be considered pretty bad. But by standards back then, they were AMAZING. I remember nothing about this E.T. game and the demise of Atari, but I don know that Atari basically disappeared. I’d like to know more.

So this trailer looks pretty intriguing to me. It’s directed by Zak Penn who has…

First Trailer for ‘Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb’

First Trailer for ‘Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb’

I’m running a bit short on time today and not sure how many posts I’ll have today. But hey, here’s a new Night at the Museum trailer to make you all happy…

Seriously though, Night at the Musuem, and Night at the Museum 2 were a surprising amount of fun. Strangely I liked the second installment almost better than the first. That said, I can see this film not being so great. I’m not sure what the story is yet. Additionally, I don’t see Amy Adams anywhere in this film. She was probably what was so great about the second film. Well, Hank Azaria was pretty good too.

I’m cautiously optimistic and…

Prison Break Clip from ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’

As if you need more reasons to be excited for this upcoming film, here’s a pretty awesome clip starring a racoon coming up with a plan to get out of prison. He also seems pretty upset with life in general.

Guardians of the Galaxy is IN THEATERS THIS WEEKEND! YAY!

TJ, Joe, and Clark discuss Philip Seymour Hoffman’s final leading role in ‘A Most Wanted Man’. It’s a brilliant performance punctuated by great sadness at the loss of such a great actor. The film is well worth seeing as all three agree. Other topics include Community Season 6 being released to VOD one episode at a time, ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ deluxe soundtrack, the ‘Mockingjay Part 1’ Trailer, ‘Ant-Man’, and Pierce Brosnan in the trailer for ‘The November Man’.

‘Community’ Season 6 Online Will Still Be One Episode Per Week

‘Community’ Season 6 Online Will Still Be One Episode Per Week
Kevin Jagernauth — The Playlist

While Yahoo has been producing modest amounts of exclusive video content (such as the underseen faux reality series “Burning Love”), the tech giant is set to challenge the likes of Netflix and Amazon in the “prestige tv” sweepstakes . At the end of June, Yahoo swooped in and saved “Community” from disappearing forever by ordering up a sixth season, and it wasn’t long before movie talks emerged. But will the company squander its most high profile programming asset by presenting it in a week-to-week schedule that viewers (especially online) have long abandoned?

Squander its programming? I…

Old School “‘Guardians of the Galaxy’” Clip on Letterman

Old School “‘Guardians of the Galaxy’” Clip on Letterman

John C. Reilly showed up on Letterman recently, and he came bearing a gift, a clip from the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy... allegedly anyway.

Reilly is playing a law enforcement officer who has the unique pleasure of arresting and locking up the afore mentioned Guardians. Apparently, according to Reilly some of the acting was difficult because a lot of the film is apparently fictional and in front of a green screen (who knew, right?).

Take a look at this clip and I think you’ll be intrigued by the upcoming film…

But seriously, though, the real Guardians of the Galaxy is coming out…

My only comment is, DOGGONEIT! Why isn’t this available digitally via iTunes. I WANT IT!

War On the Horizon in ‘The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies’ Trailer

War On the Horizon in ‘The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies’ Trailer

Coming on December 17 of this year, Peter Jackson will prove yet again that a little restraint, a little bit of a limitation, and healthy dose of humility would have gone a long way toward helping The Hobbit trilogy be so much better. There is just no reason this story should ever have been three films. One would have been the perfect length. But the money making machine must have gone on.

I don’t think Peter Jackson has reached Michael Bay standards of excess by any stretch of the imagination, but it does feel like he’s leaving behind the artistry and well crafted filmmaking of The Lord of…

A Most Wanted Man — Review

4 of 5 stars
A Most Wanted Man

If you were looking for a modern spy thriller with lots of bangs and explosions, a lot of high paced action scenes and over the top explosions and bombs going off in all directions, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that this film is not the right one for you. There is only one scene in this film which might fall under the heading of action chase scene — and the chase part lasted exactly 5 seconds.

The thing is, this film is almost too slowly paced. Almost. Perhaps this is what actually elevates the film that much higher. There was a knife edge to ride, and this film rides it brilliantly…
