A Trio of Scenes From ‘Astro Boy’
— by KATHLEEN COLLINS — A movie that includes a cast of Freddie Highmore, Kristen Bell, Nathan Lane, Eugene Levy, Matt Lucas, Bill Nighy, Donald Sutherland and Nicolas Cage is certainly one worthy of attention. In this case, those actors will be brought together in voice[...]
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[...]
Go Behind the Scenes of ‘Nine’
— by RACHEL COYNE — Still being careful not to give too much of their movie away, the producers of “Nine” have released a short montage video revealing some behind-the-scenes rehearsal footage. The video plays like a well-crafted music video, juxtaposing clips of the rehearsals and t[...]
Five Clips From ‘Amelia’
— by KATHLEEN COLLINS — One of the movies hoping to get noticed by the Academy Awards this year is “Amelia,” a dramatized biographical film based on the life of Amelia Earhart. The film chronicles the rise to fame of Earhart (played by Hilary Swank) and her relationship with [...]
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 [...]

They Are ‘The Men Who Stare at Goats’
— by KATHLEEN COLLINS — “The Men Who Stare at Goats” is very high on my list of movies that I want to see this fall. The film has a great cast and from everything I have seen, it looks like a good time at the movies. Starring George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey and[...]
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[...]
A Featurette and Three Clips From ‘Antichrist’
— by JON MARTINCIC — Independent features can be great in terms of storytelling, presentation and originality. Lars von Trier’s “Antichrist” seems to be no exception. The story of a couple who retreat to a refuge in the woods after their son died could prove to be a strong[...]
‘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[...]
Go Behind the Scenes of ‘The Stepfather’
— by ALEXA MILAN — Though “The Stepfather,” the new thriller from director Nelson McCormick (of “Prom Night”), doesn’t open until Friday, you can catch a glimpse of it now in this behind-the-scenes featurette. Penn Badgley (of “Gossip Girl”) stars as Michael Harding[...]
Climb Aboard and Listen to ‘Pirate Radio’
An ensemble comedy from film maker Richard Curtis (screenwriter of “Four Weddings and a Funeral” and “Notting Hill,” and writer/director of “Love Actually”), “Pirate Radio” is a fact-based tale of a seafaring band of rogue rock and roll deejays[...]
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[...]
