Trailer Talk: ‘Season of the Witch’
— by SEAN GERSKI — Generally speaking, I like Nic Cage. However, the man makes an awful lot of movies that I don’t want to see. I can usually look at the trailer for one of his films and know instantly whether I will ever see it. And I am not just talking about missing […][...]

The ‘Sherlock Holmes’ TV Trailer
— by SEAN GERSKI — With a little more than two months until Christmas, advertising is starting to ramp up for the movies competing for your holiday money. In that vein, we have the new TV trailer for Guy Ritchie’s “Sherlock Holmes,” which stars Robert Downey Jr., Jude[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Motherhood’
— by SEAN GERSKI — Uma Thurman recently said she would be interested in returning for a third “Kill Bill” movie, and after seeing this trailer for “Motherhood,” it’s easy to see why. To me, the trailer for “Motherhood” looks more like a long[...]
Six Clips From ‘Stan Helsing’
— by SEAN GERSKI — These are clips that don’t need much of an introduction. Either you like this kind of comedy or you don’t. Personally, I find the satire genre to be all but dead. Actually, on second thought, it’s been dead for a while, but they keep beating the dead [...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Old Dogs’
— by SEAN GERSKI — With its $168 million box office take, “Wild Hogs” was a surprise hit in 2007. Its popularity with audiences made talk of a sequel all but inevitable. And now we have director Walt Becker and actor John Travolta back for “Old Dogs” … which[...]
New ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ Featurette
— by SEAN GERSKI — As “Where the Wild Things Are” attacks the U.S. box office (Variety is reporting the movie pulled in $11.9 million in its first day), we have this new featurette for you to watch. We had one featurette for you previously (see it here), and now this new one [...]
An Exclusive Interview with Actor Doug Jones
— by SEAN GERSKI — While Doug Jones may not be a household name, he is very much in demand as an actor. Admittedly, Jones has a very peculiar background for an actor (he was a mime at one point and a contortionist at another). However, these skills have come in handy for the actor, [&hel[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Serious Moonlight’
— by SEAN GERSKI — There is a strange tone about this trailer, but I don’t know how it could be otherwise. The plot involves a high-powered attorney duct-taping her adulterous husband to the toilet … right before their home is invaded by burglars. Mixing a kidnapping with a r[...]
‘Star Wars’ Does Horror: ‘Death Troopers’
— by SEAN GERSKI — When I was younger, I tried to read the “Star Wars” novels, but quite honestly, they began to release them faster than I could read them and I just sort of stopped. Since then, they have printed nearly too many to count — but this month, they have[...]
Meet ‘The Expendables’
— by SEAN GERSKI — This isn’t exactly a trailer, so it doesn’t qualify for a Trailer Talk (there’s plenty of time for that in the future), but it is a look at the highly-anticipated movie, “The Expendables.” Once you heard the cast — which includes[...]
An Exclusive Interview with Mike Samonek
— by SEAN GERSKI — Writer-director Mike Samonek didn’t exactly take the straightest route to Hollywood. “I grew up in Michigan and Texas and went to UT Austin,” he said. “I worked as an advertising copywriter in New York for most of the ’90s, before taking[...]
Trailer Mashup: Batman vs. Blade
— by SEAN GERSKI — Trailer mashups (where they take two or more trailers and combine them into one trailer for a fictional movie) vary wildly in quality. When done really well, however, they can actually make you a little sad that you will never actually see the movie in question. For my[...]
