Trailer Talk: ‘Just Wright’
– by KATHLEEN COLLINS – It constantly baffles and amazes me how much trailers for romantic comedies are giving away these days in the trailers. I understand a certain amount of the plot will be revealed in the trailer, but why do they have to give away so much? For example, watch the ...

Poster Peek: ‘Robin Hood’

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. But [.....

Trailer Talk: ‘Iron Man 2′ (Version Two)

Poster Peek: ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’
– by JOSUE SANCHEZ – I had never even heard of the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” book series, until I was asked to write this article. Then, to my surprise, it turns out that it is really popular. My daughter has read it, my neighbor’s son has read it, and I was surprised, to ...

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 ...

Trailer Talk: ‘After.Life’
– by ALEXA MILAN – Death seems like a pretty definitive phenomenon. Either you’re alive or you’re not. But what if you got stuck between life and death in a weird sort of limbo? That’s exactly what happens to Anna (Christina Ricci) in the upcoming thriller “After.Life.” After a...

Poster Peek: ‘The Green Hornet’
– by BEN FOWLER – Seth Rogen? The tubby slacker dude from “Knocked Up,” an action hero? As much as that may seem a little far fetched, Rogen has been slimming down and bulking up nicely for his role as Britt Reid aka The Green Hornet. Kudos to the man for his dedication in ...

Trailer Talk: ‘Showgirls 2: The Return’ (NSFW)
– by CAM SMITH – Despite what you may or may not assume, I’ve never seen “Showgirls.” No, I’m not trying to preserve my already miniscule amounts of dignity and self-respect — I’ll fully cop to making pathetic pilgrimages to see “Striptease” and *shudder* “Barb ...
