I don’t think this trailer makes Zombieland look particularly great (the zom-com genre was played well and once with Shaun of the Dead and has grown a little sleepy since), but there’s no denying the joy found in Woody Harrelson’s impish and casual zombie annihilation skills and, as Andy and I just agreed, the poster is fantastic. Zombieland opens in October, which, thanks to a craptastically rain-soaked summer, doesn’t feel all that far away.

Behold the (I-talian?) Inglourious Basterds one sheet. Sure the poster uses recycled images, feels a lot bit like Valkyrie and I really, really, really want to punch that smirk off Eli Roth’s face , but none of that matters because it’s still undeniably bold and undeniably awesome.
When you promote a film with the tagline “from the director of Wild Hogs,” what does the say about the intelligence level of our society? I’ll tell you what it says, it makes crystal clear that we are on the bullet train to Armageddon. At any rate, “Old Dogs” has all sorts of suck written on it, from top-to-bottom and from side-to-side. With that said, getting whacked in the balls is always funny, so enjoy that part of this trailer for “Old …
Let me be clear: “The Time Traveler’s Wife” by Audrey Niffenegger is one of my most favorite books. Reading it was emotional journey and the novel was a perfect blend of adventure and love, sprinkled with literary honesty and truthfulness. It wasn’t a bubble-gum, Nicholas Sparks-drugstore-paperback-romance and that’s what made it extraordinary. But wow, this trailer makes “The Time Traveler’s Wife” look like the sequel to “A Walk to Remember.” I realize it’s just a preview and this could simply …
Oh my oh my oh my. Based on the trailer for “Shutter Island,” it would seem Martin Scorsese has put together another fantastic film starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The trailer makes me think the movie is a mixed bag of drama, with a slight lean towards suspense and terror. It’s based on a 2003 Dennis Lehane novel (“Gone Baby Gone”) about two U.S. marshals investigating the disappearance of a patient at a mental institution on a remote island. The film opens …
I’ve heard rumblings and rumors of the Sam Mendes-directed (“American Beauty,” “Road to Perdition” and “Revolutionary Road”) “Away We Go” making some critics go bonkers with joy and others thumb their noses at how hard the movie tries to be quirky and comically edgy. I have no opinion, whereas I haven’t seen the movie yet (I hope to catch a screening next week), but judging from the trailer, I’d say it looks right up my alley. Plus, the movie heralds …
I don’t give a rat’s patootie if “Surrogates” is based on a graphic novel (all the rage nowadays), because any movie that has Bruce Willis with “hair” should be flushed down the marketing toilet pronto. This movie is and will be pure crap. Mark my words. I’m sorry, but I just can’t get over that cringe-inducing hairpiece on John McClaine. And who thought golden blonde would be a great choice? Man oh man oh man. Terrible.
So the Final Destination series is really great at tension. In fact, they’re tension factories. Still, they’re kinda dumb. But dumb in the sense that horror aficionados can love it, since the whole premise is taking their arch enemies– IE nondescript young people with modeling contracts– and building a better blunt/sharp object mousetrap to punish them with. And, with no villain but death, it’s a gift that keeps on giving. In 3D, even. Juicy. The trailer for the fourth installment …
Hayden Panettiere, best known as the cheerleader Claire Bennet on NBC’s “Heroes,” is out promoting her new movie “I Love You, Beth Cooper” via Facebook MySpace and YouTube, inviting visitors to www.iloveyoubethcooper.com to upload a video of them saying something they’ve always wanted to say to anybody they wish. The confessional videos are titled “Beth Cooper Moment of Truth” and winners will have their confessions featured in “I Love You, Beth Cooper” TV spots. “I Love You, Beth Cooper” is …
And by revealed I mean James Cameron’s Avatar has released some concept art that’s not just lame set/bluescreen shots or images destined to be yanked by Fox studios. This is real, approved stuff– replete with Camerony future-military/fantastic fingerprints. Beholden (and click to beholden bigger): I’m a sucker for anything military/future military, so seeing stuff like this just fills my nerdy heart with unabated gid. I’m still not buying into the incredibly verbose hype that’s echoing off any mention of Avatar, …
