— by JASON EAKEN — “Chloe” is a curious trailer for me. It stars three incredibly talented people — Julianne Moore, Liam Neeson and Amanda Seyfried — in what looks to be only a marginally interesting seductive thriller. Wife thinks husband is cheating on her, so s[...]

Trailer Talk: ‘Confucius’
— by RACHEL COYNE — I’ll admit it: I know very little about the ancient Chinese philosopher, Confucius, with the exception of his involvement in a few off-color jokes (Confucius say, “Baseball wrong. Man with four balls cannot walk.”). But when it comes to serious philosophizing, I[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘The A-Team’
— by ROBERT DeFEIS — Before I start, let’s take a look at who is playing the A-Team. Liam Neeson is Col. John “Hannibal” Smith, Bradley Cooper is Lt. Templeton “Faceman” Peck, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson is Sgt. B.A. “Bad Attitude” Baracus,[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘The Taken’
— by ROBERT DeFEIS — “The Taken” takes us to an all-too-familiar place, yet still seems to pull off a scary little horror flick. The place is an abandoned building where people seem to stray and get killed off one by one. Now, every one of us knows that in a horror film, when someone[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Multiple Sarcasms’
— by RACHEL COYNE — Is it just me, or does it seem like Timothy Hutton is in the middle of making a big comeback? According to his IMDB profile, he’s been working relatively steadily over the years, but the past couple of years he seems to be cropping up in more recognized projects[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll’
— by RACHEL COYNE — Out of all the biopic movies ever made, how many are about musicians? I’m actually curious, because I’m willing to bet the percentage is pretty high. There are millions of people with stories interesting enough to warrant being put on film, but filmmakers (and the[...]
Poster Peek: ‘Tekken’
— by JASON EAKEN — I have to admit, I’m not really a “Tekken” fan. I’m not against “Tekken,” either, but my fighting video games growing up were “Mortal Kombat,” “Street Fighter” and … “Fatal Fury,” was that[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Prodigal Sons’
— by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM — Watching the first 10 seconds of the “Prodigal Sons” trailer made me think that this documentary was going to be a horror story. The home videos, the children singing, and the lack of a voice over all screamed scary movie to me. Unfortunately, the[...]
Trailer Talk: ’44-Inch Chest’
— by BEN FOWLER — My first thought about “44-Inch Chest” is that in today’s “enlightened” society, this seems to be trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Tough guy finds out wife is having an affair, tough guy and his mates kidnap adulterous wife’s lover [...]
Trailer Talk: ‘From Paris With Love’
— by MARIUSZ ZUBROWSKI — Last January, Pierre Morel and Liam Nelson treated movie-lovers to an undeniably fun, but hilariously mindless affair with “Taken,” but Pierre plans to follow-up to his success with “From Paris With Love.” In Liam’s place is John[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Smokin’ Aces 2: Assassins’ Ball’
— by ROBERT DeFEIS — “Smokin’ Aces 2: Assasins’ Ball” takes place before Buddy Israel got smoked. This action-packed prequel is an adrenaline-pumping world of blood, bullets and badasses. In this prequel, federal agents will once again face off against a slew of[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond’
— by RACHEL COYNE — Nobody does overwrought Southern drama quite like Tennessee Williams. And despite the fact that the man has been dead for over 20 years, we’re about to get a brand-new work from him. Williams’ screenplay for “The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond” was written shortly[...]
