Trailer Talk: ‘Tron: Legacy’
— by BEN FOWLER — It may seem to be an old, well-worn cliché to have a belated sequel with the original star — a bit too long in the tooth — on hand to introduce the main character’s son as a way to have someone take on the action required for the next instalment. [&hellip[...]

Trailer Talk: ‘Frame 137’
— by CAM SMITH — I guess I’m supposed to be blown away by the steam-punk-rock attitude, grungy post-Apocalyptic atmosphere and slick martial arts mayhem prominently featured in the fairly eye-catching teaser trailer for “Frame 137,” a live-action short-film adaption[...]
