Trailer Talk: ‘Rio’
— by AMANDA KOEHLER — In a recent Trailer Talk for the CGI-film “Mars Needs Moms,” I wrote about how animated films just ain’t what they used to be when it comes to adult enjoyment. And although after watching the trailer for “Rio” I’m still not intere[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘The Beaver’
— by CHRIS HYATT — Let me begin by peremptorily answering the one question most of you may be thinking as you read this: No, I’m not high, and the only thing I’m under the influence of is caffeine. Mel Gibson is back. That’s right, Mel Gibson, Academy Award-winning[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Just Go With It’
— by ALEXA MILAN — Back in the days of “Happy Gilmore,” “The Wedding Singer” and “Big Daddy,” Adam Sandler’s movies were must-sees. But especially during the past few years, I’ve found his movies to be less and less watchable. His most rece[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ (Teaser Version)
— by SHERICE ANTOINETTE — Darn you, Michael Bay! I swore to myself I wouldn’t watch another “Transformers” film because the last one was terrible. Abysmal. I wanted my $16 back (I watched it in IMAX). “Revenge of the Fallen” was so disappointing, not even the great Opti[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Thor at the Bus Stop’
— by JOSUE SANCHEZ — The plot for the independent film called “Thor at the Bus Stop” was almost all the information I could find for this movie. Yet, after watching the actual trailer for it — which we have embedded below — you will realize it doesn’t begin to cover all[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Death Race 2’
— by SEAN GERSKI — I never saw the Jason Statham version of “Death Race.” Sure, I thought about it. I mean, I like watching Statham blow stuff up as much as anyone. Yet, I still haven’t got around to checking it out. However, the one reason I even thought about watching[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Hop’ (Teaser Version)
— by JESSIKA OWENS — When you think of a cute bunny playing a drum, the first thing that pops into your mind is probably the Energizer bunny. But fear not my friends, prepare to forget about the cute bunny who only plays one drum, “Hop” is coming to us this Easter season. Fro[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Dylan Dog: Dead of Night’ (Italian Teaser Version)
— by JOSUE SANCHEZ — It has been quiet for the “Dylan Dog: Dead of Night” movie for a while. Fans of the originally-in-Italian comic book and of Brandon Routh have been anxiously waiting for news about the project. Now, we are happy to announce the first official teaser trailer is[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’
— by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM — When I first saw the title “The Lincoln Lawyer” I thought the film was going to be about Abraham Lincoln’s days as a lawyer. I was really hoping to see an image of Matthew McConaughey with a cool hat and an impressive beard. Unfortunately, the trailer fo[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Mars Needs Moms’
— by AMANDA KOEHLER — I remember the days when I used to look forward to new CGI movies coming out (think “Shrek” and “Toy Story”). Now, the plotlines for these films seem silly, and sometimes downright dumb — basically of no interest to an adult viewer. But[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘The Nutcracker in 3D’
— by RACHEL COYNE — When I first read there was a movie version of “The Nutcracker” being made in 3D, my initial response was to snipe, like the frustrated theater geek I am, “If you want to see ‘The Nutcracker’ in 3D, why don’t you see it how it’s meant to be seen: At [&he[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘The Green Hornet’
— by JOSUE SANCHEZ — They say the third time is a charm, and it is possible that this is the case with this third trailer for “Green Hornet.” The previous trailers weren’t bad — they had explosions and cool gadgets — but they didn’t have, in my opinion, the heart or t[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Battle: Los Angeles’ (Teaser Version)
— by CHRIS HYATT — Thanks to the underdog success of “District 9,” and Michael Bay’s talent of sacrificing quality for CGI, the alien invasion sub-genre of sci-fi is back in business. On the heels of “Skyline,” comes “Battle: Los Angeles” from fi[...]
