Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 is All About Getting Knocked Up
After a teasing buzz for the trailer for the trailer for Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1, the FULL theatrical trailer for the two-part franchise finale of angsty, brooding vampires with Mormon undertones has finally hit the web. Check it out: There are plenty of talking points in regards to the trailer, but the main...
Are You Looking Forward to “Bucky Larson: Born To Be a Star”?
Yesterday, I interviewed Nick Swardson and Allen Covert, the actor/co-writer and co-writer/producer of the Sandler-esque Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star which also flows in the same comedic vein of Grandma’s Boy. The film looks quite funny (and the interview was just as, if not funnier) but the title character looks creepy. Although he...
Geist Infection: Teachers
There is a hearty amount of teacher-centric movies in the geist. Is it a social commentary on education in our country? Or do movies of this kind purposely get released in the summer to remind students what they have to look forward to come September? Either way, they are coming out of the woodwork. First...
Three Things That Require Your Attention: ‘Attack the Block,’ ‘Kung Fu Panda 2,’ and SYTYCD
Attack the Block: With its grimy, Snatch-like twang, this movie got some audience love at SXSW (it snagged the Midnight Audience Award this year). Last night, I got to experience this inner city vs. outer space extravaganza and had the same giddy feeling I did when I watched Gremlins for the first time. I am...
‘Smash,’ ‘The Playboy Club,’ ‘Grimm’ and ‘Alcatraz’: Which One Will Get Cancelled First?
There has been a flood of previews for new TV shows that are slated to hit our DVRs come fall. Four in particular have caught my eye: Smash, The Playboy Club, Grimm and Alcatraz. All of these previews are coming out faster than I can complain about the most annoying contestant on So You Think...
‘Source Code’: A Really Messed Up Version of ‘Groundhog Day’
The trailer for Source Code was released today and it looks pretty cool — mainly because of the explosions, time travel and other cinematic conspiracy stuff: Actually, it looks really good — but I also said the same thing about Eagle Eye (which also starred Michelle Monaghan). Other than that, the high caliber acting roster...
‘Human Centipede’: Enjoyable, Funny and Disturbing
My friend Jo Jo, was raving about this movie and how “good” it looked (in that B-movie, “so-good-that-it’s-bad” sort of way). I immediately went home and watched the trailer: Now doesn’t that just look FANtastic? Especially that juvenile sketch of the freakish experiment of humans connected mouth-to-butt? It brings a whole new meaning to “running...
Don’t Forget to ‘Exit Through the Gift Shop’
If you are in the mood for a documentary this weekend, perhaps you should ingest the film Exit Through the Gift Shop. The film by the British graffiti/street art genius, Banksy has already gotten major props and – well – it’s just a really provoking look at the world of street art – just stay...
Really Bad Pictures from the Premiere of the ‘Resident Evil: Afterlife’ Trailer
Last week, I discovered that taking pictures in a movie theater with a regular point and shoot digital camera does not work. On the first evening of WonderCon, I was invited to watch the premiere of the trailer for latest 3-D eyegasm known as Resident Evil: Afterlife at the Metreon. The theater was full of...
I Am Ready to ‘Kick-Ass’
With the recent WonderCon epidemic fresh in my mind, my inner fanboy is coming out of me. Yes, ladies and gentleman. I am coming out of the comic geek closet. I’ve been waiting for the Kick-Ass since January and I think it is kismet that it is released two days before my birthday. What a...
Are you a ‘Starsucker’?
I ran across this trailer (actually it was forwarded to me from my co-worker Edith) and I think it was one of the most thought provoking preview for documentary that I’ve seen: It has a very valid point about journalism and, more than that, it makes me reevaluate my intrigue with celebrities and stardom. …but...
Another lukewarm ‘New Moon’ overhyped preview
Vampires running fast. Violence. Bella dramatically turning around. Groundbreaking. And is it me or did it look like Taylor Lautner was wearing a bit of rouge in that clip?
