Poster Peek: ‘Cheech and Chong’s Hey Watch This’

Poster: The A-Team
— by H.G. WATSON — There are certain films you go into with the expectation of simply being mindlessly entertained in exchange for your $11.95. I think “The A-Team” falls squarely into that category. Now, in the interest of full disclosure, you should know that I am not a fan of the [...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Megamind’ (Teaser Version)
— by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM — It’s pretty easy to be a superhero. You’ve got some supernatural power (for the most part), people are cheering you on (for the most part), and there is always a girl worth fighting for. What we don’t think about, though, is what it’s like to be the[...]
Poster Peek: ‘The Expendables’
— by JOSUE SANCHEZ — Now this is a poster. Look below and check it out. It’s the new one for “The Expendables.” Yeah, that super action-packed movie that stars all those actors that can kick your butt, and mine. Remember now? That’s right, Sylvester[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘The Switch’
— by KATHLEEN COLLINS — Jennifer Aniston is in a no-win situation right now regarding her movie career. If she does a movie that isn’t a romantic comedy, no one goes to see it. If she does do a romantic comedy, then you instantly hear the cries of “Oh Gawd, Jennifer Aniston[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Pride & Prejudice & Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls’
— by TOM ELCE — I can’t escape zombies this week. First I revisit George A. Romero’s “Land of the Dead” to discover I now like it more than I originally did. Then I subject myself to four dull clips from his upcoming “Survival of the Dead.” And now?[...]
Poster Peek: ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. The World’
— by H.G. WATSON — If the teaser poster for Edgar Wright’s “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World” is any indication, Scott Pilgrim may be the most comic book accurate film to-date. The poster, which features lead Michael Cera rocking out on a guitar, is directly from the pages of th[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘The Mechanic’
— by JOSUE SANCHEZ — There are various words in Spanish that I have not successfully been able to translate to English. For instance the term “embuste” (literally translated means liar, but liar alone doesn’t quite cover it) or “paquete” (package or load).[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Eclipse’
— by ALEXA MILAN — It feels like it was only a couple of months ago that screaming girls were lining up to see “The Twilight Saga: New Moon.” Oh right, that’s because it was. Wasting no time to capitalize on the current vampire fad, Summit Entertainment is releasing the third[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Please Give’
— by JOSIANE OCHMAN — It’s fortuitous that I was assigned “Please Give” since I’m one one of those people who feels incredibly guilty about the homelessness so prevalent in a city like Vancouver. If I could, I’d like to indulge the readers with a personal[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘IMAX: Hubble 3D’
— by ROB COX — Anyone who’s marveled at the breath-taking images from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope will likely be fascinated by Warner Bros. upcoming “IMAX: Hubble 3D.” In May 2009, NASA launched Space Shuttle Atlantis on the final mission to service the aging telescope[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Waking Sleeping Beauty’
