— by ADAM POYNTER — We’ve all experienced loss in one way or another and we know the pain and heightened emotions you can go through while working your way through the grieving process. It can be an extremely hard thing to get through even if it isn’t you, but someone you love who is[...]

Trailer Talk: ‘Love & Distrust’
— by ALEXA MILAN — Star power isn’t everything, and “Love & Distrust,” unfortunately, might be the perfect movie to prove that. The film tells intertwining stories a la “Love Actually” of people searching for love and happiness. A waitress (Amy Adams), [...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Satin’
— by AMANDA KOEHLER — If you love movies with badly-dressed nightclub singers and actresses who used to grace ABC’s TGIF schedule (like I do!), get ready for “Satin.” In the film, Hamilton von Watts plays Jack Satin, a washed-up Vegas lounge singer. He loses his act and[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Justin Bieber: Never Say Never’
— by AMANDA KOEHLER — My roommate and I made a pact a few weeks ago: if neither of us have dates for Valentine’s Day next year, we’ll go see “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never” together. Please God, let us have dates for Valentine’s Day! (Note: I’m just k[...]
Paul: Trailer
— by H.G. WATSON — Every once in a while, my expectations for a film are exceedingly high. It depends on the actors in it, sometimes the director, and just every once in a while on the concept itself. If all three are combined, then my anticipation skyrockets. So let me put it this way, [...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Nerdcore Rising’
— by CHRIS HYATT — I am a geek and a nerd and I’m proud to say it. In the current state of our culture, or lack thereof, it means I’m (probably) smarter than you and have a (relatively) better taste in media. Yeah, that’s incredibly cocky of me to say, but that is how [[...]
Trailer: The Youngest Candidate
— by SEAN GERSKI — While some have labeled the use of Twitter as a fad, I fall more on the side of those who think it has a permanent, viable place. What that place is, however, is still being discovered. I have been on Twitter now for a few years and in that[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘How Do You Know’
— by RACHEL COYNE — I like Reese Witherspoon. I adore Paul Rudd. I … don’t actively dislike Owen Wilson. Yet I can’t seem to make myself give a flying you-know-what about their newest movie. “How Do You Know” looks to be no different than a hundred other love triangle-themed[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Scream 4’
— by SHERICE ANTOINETTE — Changing the rules won’t make “Scream 4” as good as the first. This was my first thought upon watching the newly-released trailer. I’ll get to that later. A couple days prior to the trailer’s official release, a shorter and shaky version was ta[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Restless’
— by AMANDA KOEHLER — In “Wedding Crashers,” Will Ferrell’s character Chazz Reinhold (“Ma! The meatloaf!”) likes to crash funerals to pick up chicks. In “Restless,” Enoch (Henry Hopper) also crashes funerals, although from this trailer, we’[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Blue Valentine’
— by AMANDA KOEHLER — Already getting accolades at the Sundance and Toronto Film Festivals and starring two of the most talented young actors working today, “Blue Valentine” tells the story of a couple, Cindy (Michelle Williams) and Dean (Ryan Gosling), who are trying to save[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Faster’
— by CHRIS HYATT — “Faster” has a decent trailer. I certainly wouldn’t pay $9 to see it in theatres — $6 is even pushing it — but I don’t know if I would bother to go to see it in theatres. When it comes to cable, likely on TNT, since they’ve pla[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench’
— by RACHEL COYNE — With movie trailers constantly giving away major plot points and, in some cases, the movie in its entirety, it’s usually refreshing to come across a minimalist trailer that reveals next to nothing. But this sort of tactic tends to only work for movies with familiar [...]
