— by ROB COX — “Jonah Hex” may be the most obscure “tentpole” film of 2010. It may, in fact, be one of the most under-publicized “tentpoles” ever. Warner Bros. has so far expended few resources on advertising the film. With “Hex” set for release near the height of the sum[...]

Trailer Talk: ‘Space Chimps 2: Zartog Strikes Back’
— by JOSUE SANCHEZ — I really didn’t know what to expect from “Space Chimps 2: Zartog Strikes Back.” I actually never saw the first one. So, in an effort to give you a fair trailer review for part 2 of the series, I went ahead and watched the first one. What did I think[...]

Trailer Talk: ‘The Stranger’
— by ROB COX — “The Stranger” stars one of my all-time favorite dramatic leading men, “Stone Cold” Steven Austin. Austin, of course, is known for his chameleon-like ability to immerse himself in a role and completely change his identity. His turn as a vulnerable, sexually-confuse[...]

Trailer Talk: ‘Tron: Evolution’ (Videogame)
— by CHRIS HYATT — Nowadays, when a movie comes out, it comes prepackaged with the soundtrack, a novelization and a video game for whichever systems have the best tech (sorry PS3). The catch is that the movie is typically made first (excluding a few titles such as “Street Fighter,&[...]

Trailer Talk: ‘High School’
— by RACHEL COYNE — After watching this very bizarre (and short) early trailer for “High School,” the only thing I know for sure is this: Adrien Brody can be really friggin’ scary when he wants to be. “High School” is apparently a comedy, though the teaser trailer makes it look[...]
Poster Peek: ‘The Legacy’
— by SEAN GERSKI — One of the most ironic parts of owning a website has been how few times I have made it out to a movie theater since It’s Just Movies went online. I have found it increasingly difficult to make it out to the theater due to time constraints. Conversely, however,[...]
A Scene from ‘Cover Girl Culture: Awakening the Media Generation’
— by TIERNEY BUTLER — The age old question of “Does sex really sell?” is one that I have been pondering a lot lately. So when I first watched this clip from the documentary “Cover Girl Culture” about whether sexy jeans adds really sell the product, I was a little more than amused[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Get Low’
— by ALEXA MILAN — People attend all kinds of parties in their lives – proms, graduation parties, weddings, baby showers. But attending your own funeral party is decidedly not the norm, unless of course you’re Felix Bush (Robert Duvall) in “Get Low.” Felix is a he[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Meskada’
— by CASEY CRAWFORD — As a big fan of crime thrillers, I was excited to view the trailer for the upcoming film “Meskada,” directed by Josh Sternfeld. My interest in this genre lies in my personal opinion that it is rare to come about a decent plot, where twists and turns keep you[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Ondine’
— by RACHEL COYNE — Even though I’ve never been an avid follower of Colin Farrell’s career, I wouldn’t have pegged him for the fantasy movie type. Most actors who don’t already have a career steeped in this sort of lighter fare usually go the family-friendly route when they want [...]
