Trailer Talk: ‘Perfect Sense’
— by AMANDA KOEHLER — I hate when trailers don’t reflect the films they are supposed to represent. Reading about and viewing the trailer for “Perfect Sense” made me feel like I was potentially dealing with two completely different movies. The trailer focuses about 95 pe[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Happythank youmoreplease’
— by AMANDA KOEHLER — Josh Radnor knows a lot about quirky 20-something friends in New York City. After all, he does play one on “How I Met Your Mother.” Radnor decided to use that successful theme again when he wrote and directed “Happythankyoumoreplease.” The fi[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Open Season 3’
— by SEAN GERSKI — When I saw “The Green Hornet” in the theater recently, a trailer for “Open Season 3” played before the movie and I heard more than a few people ask the same question: “There was an ‘Open Season 2’?” There was indeed and[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Priest’
— by SHERICE ANTOINETTE — This movie is looking better and better. I love the post apocalyptic world in which “Priest” is set. I love the fact that said world is overrun by vampires and that humanity’s only hope is a renegade warrior priest. Although some of the creatures in this t[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘The Absent’ (Primary and Two Girls Kissing Versions)
— by JESSIKA OWENS — Twin brothers, a quiet town, murder, mayhem, affairs and, of course, girl-on-girl kissing … yes, the standard for horror flicks these days. The trailers for “The Absent” follow in the B-style horror footsteps fans have come to know and enjoy. I must[...]
Trailer: Star Wars on Blu-Ray
— by KATHLEEN COLLINS — It seems like every time a new format comes out for watching movies, you can bank on two things. First, people will ask when “Star Wars” will be available on that format. And second, people will complain that George Lucas is putting the movies “o[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘The Other Woman’
— by AMANDA KOEHLER — For a long time, Natalie Portman has been one of my favorite actresses, and I think it’s because she has this wonderful ability to really display the emotions of her character, and make you feel them as well. I’m sure she’ll continue to hone this t[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Waiting for Forever’
— by AMANDA KOEHLER — You moved away from your childhood best friend when you were 10 years old, and years later, you have the opportunity to reconnect with her. Will that friendship still be there, and can it develop into a romance? That’s what the jobless Will (Tom Sturridge of &[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Cedar Rapids’
— by SHERICE ANTOINETTE — I’m glad someone else realizes just how funny Ed Helms is. Widely known as Andy from “The Office,” Helms was hilarious in “The Hangover.” Thanks to that 2009 hit, the actor from Atlanta is starring in his own movie this year, “Cedar Rapids.” In it,[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Every Day’
— by AMANDA KOEHLER — In “Every Day,” Ned (Liev Schreiber) is in the middle of a mid-life crisis. His ailing, drunk father-in-law (Brian Dennehy) comes to live with them and helps cause an even bigger riff between him and his wife (Helen Hunt). He just found out his 15-year-o[...]
Under Review: ‘A Kiss of Chaos’
— by CHRIS HYATT — Any gangland action drama needs a few basics in order to run smoothly. First, you need a plot device, preferably a deal involving guns, drugs or insane amounts of money. The deal should go bad, and one party gets cheated. A murderous game of cat and mouse develops and [...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Born to be Wild 3D’
— by BEV QUESTAD — This IMAX animal adventure documentary looks like a winner from the trailer, beginning with that big orangutan in the water who looks so human. Just Morgan Freeman’s wonderfully rich voice alone captivates. But what a fun, uplifting subject — helping orphaned[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘I Am Number Four’
— by JESSIKA OWENS — On Feb. 18, 2011, DreamWorks Pictures is bringing us “I Am Number Four.” I must say, from the extended trailer, my first impression was that it appears that “Twilight” and “Wanted” have conceived a teen dream child with “Perc[...]
