Well, here is your Star Trek. Looks like it’s goin’ into darkness.
Seriously, just the worst title.
Anyhoo, this new trailer for the movie shows off some new stuff. For instance we now know that Benedict Khanberbatch has a giant-ass spaceship at his disposal. I assume it’s a stealth ship, because it’s painted black and made of angles and holy cow that’s so dumb I can’t even begin to articulate. | Full Story
Not only did the MTV Movie Awards debut a new Iron Man 3 clip, the show was also the launch pad for the very first trailer for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
From the moment the trailer began, things don’t look good for Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) as President Snow (Donald Sutherland) and Gamemaker Plutarch Heavensbee (Phillip Seymour Hoffman) devise a plan for her assassination. I don’t want to give away too much, so watch the video below for more. | Full Story
Over the past few days, Disney has been releasing new character posters for The Lone Ranger via the film’s Facebook page. The posters showcase both already-established characters, such as the eponymous protagonist, played by Armie Hammer, and the Halloween costume played by Johnny Depp, and newer ones, like the presumed love interests, played by Ruth Wilson and Helena Bonham Carter, and the presumed villains, played by William Fichtner and Tom Wilkinson. | Full Story
The newest trailer for Now You See Me just hit the web and it will make you want to believe in magic. Usually I’m very skeptical of a movie with magicians as the premise, but perhaps I’m just a bit cynical after The Incredible Burt Wonderstone came out. But really – WHO thought that was a good idea?
Anyway, Now You See Me actually looks like a quality movie about contemporary magicians with an Ocean’s Eleven-esque twist. | Full Story
The Hangover Part III trailer, which just made its way online, reveals some very interesting details about the upcoming sequel.
Off course we know that The Hangover Part II was slammed for almost being a carbon copy of the original film. To fans this was a major let-down, and it appears producers of the raunchy comedy paid attention to the loud outcry and made some changes.
Judging by the online-only trailer, things will be different this time. Gone is the wild and crazy forgotten bachelor party concept; instead the infamous Wolf Pack — Phil (Bradley Cooper), Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and Stu (Ed Helms) — embark on a new type of adventure; getting Alan some much needed psychological help after his father dies. | Full Story
A new trailer has finally come out for Elysium, the Matt Damon-starring, much-anticipated return of District 9 director Neill Blomkamp.
As trailers are wont to do, it doles out the basic details of the plot: in The Future (TM), the wealthy of mankind live on an opulent space habitat called Elysium, while all the other people languish on a ruined Earth. Damon plays some dude who gets into a super-special battle suit to infiltrate Elysium and save a bunch of people on the surface. | Full Story
The first TV commercial for the new Superman film went out last night. It’s… basically the trailer we’ve all seen, just cut down to 30 seconds. Bleh. But maybe this is a good thing. This is surely a better preview for the movie for the people with 30 second memory spans. This way, they don’t have to worry about forgetting what they’re seeing midway through.
Urgh, this movie. Only a studio executive would look at a Christopher Nolan’s Batfilms and think, “Hey, this is what we need for Superman! | Full Story
One would reasonably expect that a movie called Kick-Ass is not seeking to go in line with certain social graces. And the first trailer for the film featured a good deal of swearing, blood, and other things to make Helen Lovejoy throw up her hands and cry for someone to think of the children. Well, now parents don’t have to worry about the promotional material for Kick-Ass 2 corrupting their darlings, because a green band trailer has been released. | Full Story
Fasten your seat belts and get ready for a wild ride. No, I’m not talking about a Disneyland ride, but the new movie Rush, starring Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl (Not to be confused with the Joseph Gordon-Levitt film, Premium Rush, which tells to story of a bike messenger in New York City.)
This Rush is a Ron Howard flick which tells the story of the 1970′s Formula 1 racing legend, Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl) and his biggest rival, James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth). | Full Story
I’m extremely concerned for The Great Gatsby. The book is one of America’s best. You might not have caught that when they forced you to read it in high school, but that’s because you were young and stupid, and resented being forced to do anything. Go ahead, read it again.
But F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel is all about the emptiness of the glitz and glamor of the Roaring Twenties. And Baz Luhrmann is in love with glitz and glamor. | Full Story
Movies have enriched Dan Schindel's life so much that he decided
the best way to give back was to become a critic. In addition to Who Got the
Role?, he writes for ScreenPicks, We Are Movie Geeks, Off to
See the Elephant, and several other sites. He spent a year watching and
reviewing a documentary every day for his blog, Days of Docs, so now he
knows everything.
