G.I. Joe: Retaliation trailer looks … good
Confession: I never saw the first G.I. Joe movie, The Rise of Cobra. (Something I will rectify soon.) I thought it looked pretty dumb, and when it got lousy reviews to go along with the looking dumb, I figured this … Continue reading

New teaser one sheet for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES
I’m keeping myself spoiler free for Christopher Nolan’s third (and apparently final) chapter in his staggeringly successful Batman trilogy. I also know nothing about Bane from the comics, and plan on keeping it that way for now. I’m not even … Continue reading
Eight minute trailer for THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO
I really liked the book, and it’s sequels. Sure, they had their issues, but the sheer momentum of the story, the unfolding details of a decades-old murder (for book one), plus the unique (and some would rightly say unbelievable) character … Continue reading

SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN looks surprisingly good
I’d heard about this movie and was intrigued by some of the casting (Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth), but it wasn’t really on my radar as something I’d be interested in seeing. Until now. I think this trailer makes it look … Continue reading
Latest video production diary from THE HOBBIT
This one takes a look at the 3D filming process. I think it’s completely fascinating. Your mileage may vary. I love these behind-the-scenes featurettes, but I do realize that a lot of people are only interested in watching the final … Continue reading
Thoughts on PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3
My son and I went to see Paranormal Activity 3 on Friday. Cliff Notes review: I liked it, and found parts of it scary as hell, especially the ending, which has major creep outs going on. My son slept like … Continue reading

Trailer for CHRONICLE, found footage movie about … superheroes
Yes, I know, yet another found footage movie. When will the madness stop? I’ve said before that I don’t mind them if they’re done well and keep the shakiness to a minimum. Some people take issue with the inherent unbelievability … Continue reading
