Poster Peek: ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. The World’
— by H.G. WATSON — If the teaser poster for Edgar Wright’s “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World” is any indication, Scott Pilgrim may be the most comic book accurate film to-date. The poster, which features lead Michael Cera rocking out on a guitar, is directly from the pages of th[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘The Mechanic’
— by JOSUE SANCHEZ — There are various words in Spanish that I have not successfully been able to translate to English. For instance the term “embuste” (literally translated means liar, but liar alone doesn’t quite cover it) or “paquete” (package or load).[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Eclipse’
— by ALEXA MILAN — It feels like it was only a couple of months ago that screaming girls were lining up to see “The Twilight Saga: New Moon.” Oh right, that’s because it was. Wasting no time to capitalize on the current vampire fad, Summit Entertainment is releasing the third[...]

Four Clips from ‘George A. Romero’s Survival of the Dead’
— by TOM ELCE — Grinding out his third zombie film in the space of five years, director George A. Romero has continued his “Dead” series through his last two movies and into his latest, attempting to do for it what he did with the initial trilogy. The results thus far have[...]

— by ROB COX — The trailer for Hamm’s current film “Stolen” left me cold. Granted, it is only a two-minute sampling of the film, but, to me, this independent film looks cluttered and filmed on the cheap. In all fairness, most independent productions tend toward a cheaper look[...]
‘Where the Wild Things Are’ Features: Music People Making Movies
— by JASON EAKEN — If Spike Jonze was in a teenage rock band, I wouldn’t be surprised. No, I mean if he was in a teenage rock band NOW I wouldn’t be surprised. He’s got that lazy, loping posture, his voice sounds like he’s barely made it out of puberty, and his[...]
An Early Peek at ‘Predators’
— by CAM SMITH — It must be at least a trifle comforting for Robert Rodriguez and Nimrod Antal — the producer and director behind this summer’s eagerly-anticipated “Predators” — to know that, even if their final product turns out painfully mediocre, the film still[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Waking Sleeping Beauty’
— by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM — Most of us associate Disney movies with the fondness of our childhood. The first movie I ever saw in a movie theater was “Aladdin” and my grandmother had almost every Disney movie on VHS for us whenever we spent the weekend at her house. It seemed like[...]
Comic-Con: If Not San Diego, Where?
— by H.G. WATSON — For nerds of all kinds, the city of San Diego, Calif., is synonymous with one event: Comic-Con. But in 2012, Comic-Con may leave San Diego behind. Comic-Con International’s contract with San Diego is up, and the increasing popularity of the event has left[...]
Seven Clips from ‘Repo Men’
— by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM — There’s an argument that sci-fi movies are really just metaphors for the problems societies face today. If that’s the case for “Repo Men,” then we are in a bad state. In the society of “Repo Men,” people are given body parts on loan. If you can pay[...]
