Trailer Talk: ‘Disneynature’s Oceans’

Three New Clips From ‘Old Dogs’

Trailer Talk: ‘Wonderful World’
— by BEN FOWLER — Ferris Bueller can do no wrong in my eyes. I thought he was the best bit in “Godzilla.” I can’t wait for him to be king in “The Lion King.” OK, you’ve got me on “Inspector Gadget,” though. “Wonderful World” is the new [...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Taking Chances’
— by ALEXA MILAN — “Taking Chances” is a movie I hadn’t heard of until today, and based on the trailer, it’s probably not one I’ll be seeing. Justin Long plays Chase Revere, a small-town Revolutionary War re-enactor who discovers a Native American casino will be built on top of[...]

Trailer Talk: ‘Clash of the Titans’

Trailer Talk: ‘Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths’
— by SEAN GERSKI — The recent DC Comics animated movies have been a mixed bag in terms of quality, but even the worst of them are still pretty entertaining. For my money, the best three have been “Wonder Woman,” “The New Frontier” and “Superman/Batman[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Family Guy Presents: Something, Something, Something Dark Side’

Trailer Talk: ‘Kick-Ass’
— by BEN FOWLER — It’s not unknown that I have a dislike of Mark Millar. I wish to clarify my position. I have a problem with Mark Millar — The Ego. The guy who thinks before him every knee should bend. I don’t have a problem with Mark Millar — the comic-book writer. The [...]
