Eight Clips from ‘Yogi Bear’
— by CHRIS HYATT — The name of the first clip is perhaps apropos since Dan Aykroyd was perhaps the smartest choice to voice Yogi Bear. It’s also smart enough to stick with the good old fashioned Yogi, instead of making him younger and sexier, and to use the same style of clever con[...]
Five Clips from ‘The Tempest’
— by AMANDA KOEHLER — William Shakespeare’s stories have long been told on the silver screen: “Romeo and Juliet,” “Othello” and “Hamlet” have all had their own film adaptions (multiple ones), among other tales of Billy’s. Now it’s tim[...]
Nine Clips from ‘Black Swan’
— by ALEXA MILAN — Ever since the first trailer debuted for “Black Swan,” it’s been one of my most anticipated awards season releases. It looks so dark, so mysteriously, so hauntingly odd. It’s no surprise it comes from the twisted mind of Darren Aronofsky[...]
Two Clips from ‘Death Race 2’
— by JOSUE SANCHEZ — “Death Race 2” might actually turn out to be better than expected. I really was surprised by the last installment and Jason Statham played his part well. It was full of surprises and I loved the way they were able to escape. All of these were pleasant unexpected [...]
Five Clips from ‘Rabbit Hole’
— by AMANDA KOEHLER — Becca (Nicole Kidman) and Howie (Aaron Eckhart) are a fairly happy couple with a 4-year-old same named Danny. One day, Danny follows his puppy into the street and is fatally hit by a car. Naturally, Becca and Howie enter the nightmare of all nightmares — griev[...]
Five Clips from ‘The Tourist’
— by AMANDA KOEHLER — My roommate and I were discussing Angelina Jolie this week — mostly how she seems to play some sort of bad ass in many of her roles. She’s a spy, or an assassin. She kicks butt and looks hot doing it. In “The Tourist,” Jolie plays a mystery w[...]
Five Clips from ‘The Warrior’s Way’
— by CHRIS HYATT — Before I start, I just want to say that the extraordinary filming, and the novel way to reinterpret two classically overdone plots aside, this movie had me at “Ninjas? Damn…” For the first time this year, I can safely say this movie looks good enough [...]
Three Clips from ‘The Fighter’
— by JOSUE SANCHEZ — After watching the trailer for “The Fighter,” there was so much that went through my head. I am really glad to be writing this article because now that I’ve watched these three clips below, I feel certain of my original thoughts. “The[...]
Six Clips from ‘All Good Things’
— by ALEXA MILAN — After brilliant performances in “Half Nelson” and “Lars and the Real Girl,” Ryan Gosling is quickly becoming one of the most under-appreciated young actors around. Too bad one of his most recent movies has flown largely under the radar. In ̶[...]
A Clip from ‘Frankie and Alice’
— by ALEXA MILAN — Halle Berry has had her fair share of flops in her day (“Gothika” and “Catwoman” spring to mind), but when she’s on her game, she’s on, and “Frankie and Alice” looks like the kind of movie that could return her to her [...]
Three Clips from ‘Tron: Legacy’
— by JOSUE SANCHEZ — Do you hear that? It is the sound of millions of anxious fans awaiting the release date of “Tron: Legacy.” If you are one of them and have been following all of our updates then you will surely appreciate this one. I am especially pleased with everything I have s[...]
A Clip from ‘Tron: Legacy’
— by CAM SMITH — Disney is pulling out all the stops in promoting the bejeezus out of “Tron: Legacy,” and who can blame them? They’ve dropped obscene amounts of money on a sequel to a cult fave that has as almost as many detractors as supporters. So, if the studio wants to turn thi[...]
Two Clips from ‘Faster’
— by JOSUE SANCHEZ — I am really excited about these two clips we have attached below for the movie “Faster.” If you haven’t heard about it yet, it stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and it marks his return to the action genre (unless you count his hilarious cameo in “The Other[...]
