Trailer Tuesday (Dan’s Pick): Harry Brown

Michael Caine. The guy’s thespianized in both dreck (Jaws 3) and tentpole (Batman) and everything in between (The Cider House Rules), but he’s got that je ne sais quoi that keeps everyone coming back for more. Most recently, he’s become the lovable Grampa Caine personae of the Miss Congeniality and Children of Men variety, but before all that he was a gun-totin’ hard case in 1971’s Get Carter. Three cheers for the upcoming Harry Brown, then– it looks like we’re getting

Trailer Tuesday: A Christmas Carol

At first glance, the cast for Disney’s A Christmas Carol, directed by Robert Zemeckis (The Polar Express, Forrest Gump, Back to the Future) looks fantastic. You have Jim Carrey (Yes Man), Colin Firth (Mama Mia!), Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight), Robin Wright Penn (State of Play), Michael J. Fox (Stuart Little), Bob Hoskins (Doomsday) and Cary Elwes (The Alphabet Killer). But then so did the cast for Beowulf, Zemeckis last film and his last venture into the photorealistic 3D animation

Trailer Tuesday (Dan’s Pick): Lebanon

For an issue that’s dominated U.S. foreign policy and the world stage for more than half a century and counting, the Israeli-Arab conflicts of the Middle East receive virtually no cinematic attention. Luckily, the last few years has seen an Israeli/Palestinian film renaissance in addressing various components of this conflict, ranging from Kippur‘s insight on the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Paradise Now‘s tense profile of a pair of suicide bombers and Waltz With Bashir‘s hazy pastiche of the Lebanon War.

Trailer Tuesday: The Fourth Kind

My wife watched the trailer for The Fourth Kind with me and said, “That looks stupid.” After she left, I got on the ground and rocked back and forth in the fetal position out of sheer terror. I also went and changed into an adult diaper before I decided to watch the trailer again. I realize the prospect of aliens existing or being little green men (or owls) is remote, but still, like M. Night Shyamalan’s Signs, that doesn’t mean

Trailer Tuesday: When in Rome

There are so many oddities with When In Rome that I’m interested to see how this January 2010 romcom turns out. And by interested I mean this looks like turd. You’ve got Josh Duhamel (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen) taking on his first comedy/romance since 2004’s Win a Date with Tad Hamilton; and you have director Mark Steven Johnson switching from superheroes (Daredevil and Ghost Rider) to laughs and love. Oh, and you’ve got Kristen Bell trying to prove to

Trailer Tuesday (Dan’s Pick): RETRO! Edition

With the fall break in full effect now,new trailers are in short supply. You’ve seen the Extract trailer and you don’t care about the Gamer trailer… but that won’t stop Trailer Tuesdays, Friends! Welcome to Retro! Edition: The Last Starfighter. Since I’ve had its theme song running through my head for the last 2 weeks, you’re getting the trailer to this 80’s classic– with the hope I can wipe its musical stickiness off on someone else. Made before the quick

Trailer Tuesday (Dan’s Pick): Inception

Here at AATM, every day is Trailer Tuesday… and that’s ok, because this is our site and we love both movies AND their advertisements. A pretty intriguing trailer was released a few days ago in the form of Inception. Christopher Nolan’s first film since The Dark Knight, Inception tells the story of… well, they’re trying to keep it under wraps. What’s not under wraps is that it’s a modern sci-fi tale taking place in the labyrinth of the human miiiiiiind.

Trailer Tuesday: Youth in Revolt

I love Michael Cera. I think he’s one of many young actors with a huge upside and huge potential, but I also would be lying if I didn’t say his deadpan, monotone nerd-shtick might be teetering towards the been-there-done-that. I’m not saying it’s not funny. It is funny. But all his major movies in the last three years – Superbad, Juno, Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist and Year One – are all replications of the same character. With the exception

Trailer Tuesday (Dan’s Pick): Law Abiding Citizen

Gerard Butler’s not the man he used to be. Oh, sure- he’s got that rough and foreign (ie: sexy) Scottish brogue that’s 100% guaranteed to  turn an average looking dude into a musky, bodice-shredding fantasy– but let’s face it: Since 300, dude’s really let himself go. He’s gotta be pushing 185 at least… …which now allows him to play the “everyman”- the everyman hard at work on nailing that American accent which he’s awlmost gaaaaawt thanks to a recent string

Trailer Tuesday: The Twilight Saga: New Moon

I didn’t see Bandslam on Friday, so I’m not sure if this is the much-anticipated New Moon trailer the web was abuzz with last week. However, it is a new trailer and Twilight makes women and girls people go crazy, so here it is. I actually like this trailer because I am on Team Jacob. I relate to the guy always labeled as “friend” and always passed over for the taller, paler, douchier guy. At any rate the Abercrombie &
