This is another one of those movies I really wish I’d caught while I was at Sundance this year, when it was originally titled Toy’s House. This new trailer really sells the modern-day Stand By Me, truth-of-adolescence vibe that it seems to be going for. Plus, Nick Offerman deadpanning is always nice.
Joe Toy (Nick Robinson), on the verge of adolescence, finds himself increasingly frustrated by his single father, Frank’s (Nick Offerman) attempts to manage his life. | Full Story
The trailer for Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., ABC’s highly anticipated series that spins off The Avengers to the small screen., is now online due to the efforts of impatient fans across the web. As a result of fans flooding twitter with the hashtag # CoulsonLives, the network responded by unlocking bonus footage and this trailer.
S.H.I.E.L.D. will follow Clark Gregg’s agent Phil Coulson, who was also featured in the Marvel feature films, as he attempts to assemble a small group of special agents from around the world to protect the earth from a growing threat to the human population. | Full Story
Okay, so I had absolutely no idea up until now that this movie was happening. Yes, yes, shame on me, it’s gonna be at Cannes and James Franco is directing it. First: a lot of movies show up at Cannes with little fanfare. Second: James Franco has his fingers in so many movie pies that it’s difficult to keep track of what he’s doing. And yes, that phrase should induce dirty images in your head, since more than one of Franco’s projects deal with pornography. | Full Story
Arrested Development is coming back to the small screen after seven years off air — and now a new trailer promoting the sitcom’s fourth season has made its way online.
The minute and thirty-eight seconds clip features the onscreen reunification of the quirky Bluth family — including Michael (played by Jason Bateman), Lindsay (Portia de Rossi), Gob (Will Arnett), George-Michael (Michael Cera) and other members.
Last year, to the delight of the show’s cult following, Netflix announced that Arrested Development would be making a comeback under its wing. | Full Story
Where have you been, Alfonso Cuarón? You direct Children of Men, one of the best movies of the 00′s, and then you up and disappear for seven years? That’s just cruel.
But now he’s back! In outer space! With Sandra Bullock and George Clooney! As astronauts who are completely stranded after an explosion aboard the space station. You might note something: this is the scariest scenario that a human being can possibly be in. | Full Story
Well folks, here’s Meryl Streep’s Oscar nomination for next year. August: Osage County will continue the grand prestige picture tradition of bringing together a group of distinguished white people to affect Southern drawls and yell at each other.
And what a group of distinguished white people! I won’t bother to restate the list of names that you can see on the film’s poster. Although I will draw attention to one name in particular: Benedict Cumberbatch. | Full Story
It is simply unacceptable that we have gone this long without an article about this trailer. This is the concluding film of the “Blood and Ice Cream” trilogy, director Edgar Wright and stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s three films of horrifying violence and Cornetto ice cream. The previous installments in the series, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, are two of the best comedies of the 00′s. So we have reason to be excited for this film. | Full Story
Ever since Disney acquired Marvel, the smart people have quietly let their consternation about continued media consolidation simmer. Everyone else has been wondering when we’d get an animated movie based on a Marvel comic. Well, here you are. The first Marvel superhero property to get the Mouse House treatment is… Big Hero 6.
Yeah, remember Big Hero 6?
The series is basically an extended homage to Japanese art and culture, created in 1998 by Steven T. | Full Story
Man, these parodies of Oscar bait movies just get more and more convincing! This fake trailer for The Butler posits a movie based on the real life of Eugene Allen, who served as a butler in the White House for over 30 years, from the 1950′s through the 80′s. Forest Whitaker plays “Cecil Gaines,” Allen’s fictional counterpart, while Oprah (Oprah!) plays his wife.
And just see who else is in this! | Full Story
There are four superhero movies coming out this year. The Wolverine is the one that I keep forgetting is happening. It’s not the movie’s fault… wait, yes it is. Because I mean, good grief, Wolverine has already been the star of four other movies. I tire of this hairy immortal Canadian with metal claws.
Anyway, a new one-minute trailer for the film premiered at CinemaCon, and now it’s online for the world to see. | 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.
