— by RACHEL COYNE — Considering how so much of the movie business has become about the almighty dollar and who knows who, it’s refreshing to see a pair of filmmakers who are just thrilled to show people the movie they made. Mark and Jay Duplass are brothers who have teamed up several t[...]

Trailer Talk: ‘Predators’
— by JOSUE SANCHEZ — It is with great joy that I utter the words: We are finally getting a new “Predator” movie. Doesn’t that just sound spectacular? And I am not talking about an “Alien vs. Predator” sequel, but a full-pledged “Predator” movie. [...]
Trailer Talk: ‘You Don’t Know Jack’
— by ROB COX — Big-screen legend Al Pacino has done some severe stinkers over the last few years, namely, the laughable “Righteous Kill” and the absurd “88 Minutes.” Both of those films were just plain bad — gag-inducingly bad, in fact. Pacino’s latest film, a made-for-TV aff[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘The New Daughter’
— by AMANDA KOEHLER — This new Kevin Costner flick is going straight to DVD. Watch the trailer, and you’ll know why. The spouse-less John James (Costner), a writer, relocates his young kids Louisa and Sam to a new house in a small South Carolina town. Their house is surrounded by woods[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Centurion’
— by JOSUE SANCHEZ — There are some time periods in history, that when discovered, can give ground to many great stories and adventures. For example, the reigning periods of different ancient empires — as well as their demises — are a great setting for many books and movies. [...]
WonderCon to Give Away Black Widow Posters
— by SEAN GERSKI — Attendees of WonderCon 2010 — taking place April 2 to 4 in San Francisco — will get a chance to take home Scarlett Johansson. Well, they can take home a poster of her as the Black Widow, anyway.[...]
Poster Peek: ‘Shrek Forever After’
— by BEN FOWLER — The makers of the final Shrek film, “Shrek Forever After,” promise a new direction and a fresh look after the lukewarm-at-best reception that its predecessor, “Shrek The Third,” received on release. A set of theatrical posters have been released [...]
Poster Peek: ‘Killers’
— by ROB COX — First, in the interest of full disclosure, I must admit to having a certain amount of bias against Katherine Heigl. When I first saw her several years ago on “Gray’s Anatomy” (a TV show of which I’m not a fan) I remember thinking two things very clearly: “wow, sh[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Mother and Child’
— by RACHEL COYNE — I know that parent-children relationships can be complicated, but this is crazy. There is so much going on in the trailer for “Mother and Child,” so you better be on your toes: A surprisingly old-looking Annette Bening pines for the child that she gave up years ag[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend’
— by AMANDA KOEHLER — Welcome back to the world of movies, Alyssa Milano. With her last mainstream flick being 2003’s “Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star” (ouch!), the “Who’s the Boss?” and “Charmed” star is switching gears from writing about[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Marmaduke’
— by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM — Great Danes are the best dogs ever. Now I admit I may be biased. I am currently writing next to a 10-month-old Great Dane puppy named Seamus who is the very definition of “adorable” and “affectionate” (and also “doofy”). However, even with my love [...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. the World’
— by H.G. WATSON — I struggled to form my opinions about the “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” trailer because the reaction I had when I first saw it was more akin to “SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!” than a coherent thought. But you know what? A few hours and several viewings later, I am [...]
Poster Peek: ‘The Greatest’
— by RACHEL COYNE — While the movie may be “The Greatest,” the poster is anything but. Now that Carey Mulligan is an Oscar-nominated star on the rise, a small film she made right before doing “An Education” — one that probably wouldn’t have seen a promoted distribution[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Babies’
— by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM — I couldn’t be more excited for the film “Babies.” Forget any animated film that is coming out this year, “Babies” will be the most adorable film in theatres. “Babies” isn’t just about babies. The film documents the lives of four babies in one y[...]
