This year’s TIFF certainly has a loaded playlist and I’m starting to consider just bucking up and attending, but we’ll see if those dreams actually come into fruition. The event will launch with their opening night film The Fifth Estate, the Wikileaks feature starring Benedict Cumberbatch. Also included in the Gala Presentations, there is the...
Over in San Diego, Comic Con is in full siege and has lead to a blogtastrophe. After earning a whopping 16 Emmy nominations a mere three days ago, beloved HBO series Game of Thrones has showed up to footnote the last season as well as tease what is to come in George R.R. Martin‘s...
On the heels of yesterday’s many, many character posters, Lionsgate has released a new Comic Con trailer for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. While the first trailer just set the context of the story, this one takes a look at the eponymous Hunger Games and what is known as the Quarter Quell. While those who...
I’ve had a spotted past with AMC‘s adaptation of The Walking Dead but ultimately have been won over by the series. Although it deviates wildly from the comics on which it is based, it makes it all the more interesting when a seasoned reader like myself has no idea what will happen next. This four...
Calvin & Hobbes is a cultural cornerstone for our generation that speaks to both childlike wonder and aged wisdom all in stunningly drawn comics. We laughed at Calvin’s arcane snowmen sculptures as much as we had to rush to the dictionary to look up some of the words oh so eloquently coming from a...
Last month, I posted a little teaser trailer for Ridley Scott’s (director of Gladiator, Alien) new film The Counselor written by Cormac McCarthy (No Country for Old Men, The Road), but this is the first official domestic look at the Fox 2000 production. With a loaded cast that includes Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender, Cameron Diaz,...
Less than a week ago, we got our first look at Justin Chadwick’s Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom. Where that promo featured some voice-over sentiment from Idris Elba as Nelson Mandela, this full length trailer shows some more substantial footage from the film. Rather than a weeping biopic, this trailer seems to present the film...
With a total of no less than 11 character posters, Liongate is really amping up the marketing for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire in preparation for its November 11 release. Following up on the wild success of the first installment, Catching Fire brings us back to Panem for the Quarter Quell where 11 previous winners...
The name Julian Asange didn’t mean a lot to me outside of his affiliation with Wikileaks before I saw We Steal Secrets: The Story of Wikileaks but after watching the rise and fall of that international government espionage extraordinaire, I am really compelled to see Benedict Cumberbatch filling in the shoes of Asange. Although...
“I’m Electro,” Jaime Foxx states in this first moving look at the iconic Spiderman villain, “Bogey woogey woogey.” Ok, maybe he doesn’t finish the sentiment with that classic lyric line but, nonetheless, it is still somewhat interesting that the first official trailer that we’re getting from the film features Foxx’s Electro while not even give...
