Poster Peek: ‘Alice in Wonderland’
— by KATHLEEN COLLINS — I think these posters perfectly sum up what a Tim Burton version of “Alice in Wonderland” should be. They are bizarre, but you can’t quite take your eyes off them. And that’s basically what I am expecting from the movie, which is due to[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Remember Me’

Poster Peek: ‘The Expendables’
— by JOSUE SANCHEZ — Growing up in the ’80s only helped the fact that I have great admiration for Sylvester Stallone. He was at that time, the person that we sought after when looking for great action movies. He was the man people around me admired and looked up too. He was “[...]

Trailer Talk: ‘Coach’
— by ALEXA MILAN — “Coach,” the new romantic comedy from newcomer Will Frears, could be a cute love story, but based on this new trailer, it seems like it relies on a lot of overused elements. Nick (Hugh Dancy) is a spoiled slacker who is forced to turn his life around when his[...]
