More Manly Steel in Third MAN OF STEEL Trailer

More Manly Steel in Third MAN OF STEEL Trailer

With only about three weeks to go until its June 14 release, the Man of Steel marketing train is chugging along and sees to actually be winning over fans. As this summer has had its early share of summer blockbuster disappointments (*sigh Star Trek into Darkness), it’s safe to assume that we’re all hoping that...

New Domestic Trailer for THE WORLD'S END

New Domestic Trailer for THE WORLD'S END

  Not to be confused with the Seth Rogen comedy This is the End, The World’s End is the third film in Edgar Wright‘s Blood-and-Ice-Cream Trilogy which includes such masterworks as Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. This final tongue-in-cheek installment finds Wright regulars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost alongside Martin Freeman (The Hobbit)...

Sex, Drugs and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in DON JON Trailer

Sex, Drugs and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in DON JON Trailer

Once named ‘Don Jon’s Addiction’ and now slimmed down to Don Jon, this Joseph Gordon-Levitt creation follows the sexual exploits of said Don Jon. Written, directed and starring Gordon-Levitt, this is entirely his show. Diving into the issue of sexual dependency with a comedic bent, Don Jon split critics down the middle when it debuted...

DEXTER Comes to an End with Season 8 Trailer

DEXTER Comes to an End with Season 8 Trailer

For those of us who’ve followed the journey of Dexter Morgan, the light at the end of the tunnel is finally visible as this will be the last go around with our favorite serial killer. Dexter has had quite a bit of up and down with a stellar first, third and fourth season, a middling...

Nolan, Chris Nolan To Take on James Bond?

Nolan, Chris Nolan To Take on James Bond?

  Before you get your hopes up and start having a nerdgasm, remember that this is only a rumor zooming its way around the internet and gaining traction but it’s still a rumor worth reporting on because if this actually were to happen, it would be pretty, pretty, pretty good. So on to the actual...

Talking with Stephen Silha and Eric Slade of BIG JOY: THE ADVENTURES OF JAMES BROUGHTON

Talking with Stephen Silha and Eric Slade of BIG JOY: THE ADVENTURES OF JAMES BROUGHTON

  Stephen Sihla and Eric Slade’s Big Joy: The Adventures of James Broughton is a close exploration of a man who embodied the tenants of free expression. Living under the mantra of ‘Follow Your Weird,’ Broughton was both a poet and a filmmaker, an avante garde champion of artist expression who refused to play by...

I wanted to like it. I wanted to love it. But I didn't love it and I only kind of liked it. It didn't boldly go anywhere, it just...went. On…

Apparently The RIDDICK Franchise Lives on and Here's a Trailer to Prove it

Apparently The RIDDICK Franchise Lives on and Here's a Trailer to Prove it

It’s been nearly ten years seen the last iteration of the Riddick character has “graced” the silver screen but it appears that Vin Diesel will fill the shoes of the anti-hero once again with the simply named Riddick. I don’t think many people imagined that a third entry into the canon would arrive so far...

Red Band Trailer for V/H/S 2

Red Band Trailer for V/H/S 2

Last year’s V/H/S was a delightfully spooky affair. Working within the same found footage compilation framework, V/H/S 2 offers up seven different visions from emerging filmmakers Simon Barrett, Adam Wingard, Edúardo Sanchez, Gregg Hale, Timo Tjahjanto, Gareth Huw Evans and Jason Eisener. I’ll be seeing the premiere next week so I’m gonna pass on the...

James Franco Did a Faulker Adaptation Of AS I LAY DYING. This is the Trailer.

James Franco Did a Faulker Adaptation Of AS I LAY DYING. This is the Trailer.

James Franco is something of an enigma. On one side of the coin, he’s definitely an intelligent. He’s taught courses at NYU, USC and UCLA where he is also an adjunct professor of English and is pursuing a PhD at Yale. He is a prominent actor and a celebrated multimedia artist. He was nominated for...
