Out in Theaters: OBLIVION
Oblivion has the DNA of The Matrix, Alien, Wall-E, Terminator and especially Duncan Jones' Moon and while it's hard to ignore the influence that those films had on Oblivion, Kosinski…

Amazon Instant Video At Once Makes Themselves Irrevelant and Defiles Greatness of ZOMBIELAND with Spin-Off Show
Unless the marketing team for Amazon Instant Video is run by a troop of eunuch monkeys incapable of making a half-way decent trailer, Zombieland: The Series just signed, sealed and delivered itself straight to the reject pile. The fifty second clip is somehow offensive, off-putting and sad. It’s everything that makes for bad television...

First Posters for 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE and ONLY GOD FORGIVES
300: Rise of an Empire and Only God Forgives may have a few similarities – gruesome violence, hard R-rating – but I don’t think that there is much to tie the two films together outside the fact that I have brand spankin’ new posters for each of them. One poster is swattered in a...

First R.I.P.D. Trailer Channels MEN IN BLACK
With the first trailer just debuting, this afterlife secret agency flick, R.I.P.D., which stands for Rest in Peace Division, sure seems to remind me a lot of Men in Black.

Final STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS Trailer Boldly Goes Somewhere I Refuse to Watch
With all the hype and anticipation for J.J. Abram‘s Star Trek into Darkness, the last thing I want to be caught doing is watching this third (or is it fourth?) and final trailer. These days, things have a way of petering themselves out before they even hit theaters. Overexposure and crucial plot and character...

Who Will Define the Legacy of Superman? It's Nolan Versus Snyder in New MAN OF STEEL Trailer
On the heels of the third and final Star Trek into Darkness trailer, Warner Bros has unleashed a third trailer for Zack Snyder‘s Man of Steel. The first Superman movie without the word Superman jammed right in the title, this is a pure reboot that takes Kai El/Clark Kent/Superman back to his...

First Trailer for THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE
What is sure to be pretty big news around the stratosphere is the release of the first trailer for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. The first film was a surprising success that managed to balance box office prowess with good filmmaking. Since the first installment, Gary Ross has departed as director and has been...

Out in Theaters: 42
At the center of the 42 is a stirring tale of resistance, will-power, personal triumph and character- a Jesus-esque tale of turning the other cheek and growing in spite of…

Out in Theaters: TRANCE
It takes a tested hand like Boyle’s to turn this relatively minor film into a genre flick buzzing along with tactful cinema purity and a life all its own. The…
