Trailer Watch: J. Edgar
I have mixed feelings about this first look at J. Edgar. Granted, Clint Eastwood is usually a pretty solid director and Dicaprio is always great, but apart from the aging makeup (which I’m reserving judgement on), sometimes biopics fall into a dangerous slow place. There is a lot to tell a story from here, so [...]

Trailer Watch: The Pig with the Froggy Tattoo
In case the title isn’t obvious? This is another absolutely wonderful parody trailer for The Muppets. Including a fantastic original song. If these trailers are any indication, The Muppets is going to be one of the funniest, most clever films of the year. And they’re certainly building anticipation wonderfully. We’re getting a few glimpses of [...]

Trailer Watch: WTF-Did-I-Just-Watch edition
Really, I’m only giving you one trailer today. But it’s a doozy. I recently saw the film Eyes Without a Face. I believe ‘ugh’ may be the word. However, it was also a brilliant flick. And the new Pedro Almodovar (Broken Embraces, Matador) film, The Skin I Live In, appears to owe at least a [...]

Trailer Watch: Ralph Fiennes does Shakespeare, Lucas’ latest, and more
Can I just say that it’s sort of weird to see Ralph Fiennes with a nose? Fiennes has grown back his missing scent organ for his upcoming adaptation of Shakespeare’s Coriolanus, which will also be his first film in the director’s chair. A modern retelling, it also stars Gerard Butler who looks pretty damn excited [...]

Trailer Watch: Comic Book Edition
Well, I’m usually not too excited about reboots, particularly of franchises that I enjoyed, and I’m feeling the same thing for The Amazing Spider-Man, though it looks like it could be fun. I’m just trying to figure out whether he spins the web out of the back of his neck and through his shooters? Is [...]

Trailer Watch: Brave
Dear Pixar, We’ve had our differences in the past. For example, I couldn’t understand why you’d release something derivative like Cars 2 when you had such great concept art from the now dead Newt. I mean, sure, Rio sort of beat you to the punch, but I’m sure yours would have been something unique and [...]

Trailer Watch: The Muppets, Red Bands for 30 Minutes or Less and Conan the Barbarian and more
The Muppets continues its trailer domination with a clever send-up of Green Lantern. I’m a diehard Muppets fan and if the movie turns out to be half as clever as its marketing, I’ll be seeing this in theaters more than once. Check out the trailer and the synopsis below. On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, [...]

Trailer Watch: Green with Envy
This slipped completely under my radar somehow. A romantic comedy with Jason Segel and Amy Adams. Both great actors. Should be fun.

Trailer Watch: The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn
I’ve been having a terrible time with movie adaptations lately, and I have a terrible time with the idea of an American studio — specifically Nickelodeon, with a track record that looks something like an EKG screen — adapting a Belgian comic strip into a 3D animated feature for kids. Seeing Spielberg on as director [...]
