Trailer Talk: ‘Red Cliff’
— by TOM ELCE — The bizarre facial expression of an actor shortly into the new trailer for John Woo’s “Red Cliff” threatens to provoke a giggle-fit, but if the remainder of the appetizer for Woo’s latest spectacle is anything to go by, the movie appears to be more[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Tooth Fairy’
— by SEAN GERSKI — All I kept thinking while I was watching the trailer for “Tooth Fairy” was that it is an awful waste of talent. We’ve all seen Ashley Judd, Julie Andrews and Bill Crystal do quality work. Heck, even Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has shown some[...]
Poster Peek: ‘Saint John of Las Vegas’

Trailer Talk: ‘American Virgin’

Fantastic Mr. Fox: Trailer
— by SEAN GERSKI — Not too long ago, a trailer was released for “Fantastic Mr. Fox.” It garnered mixed reviews. Now, a new trailer has been released and the feedback should be more positive. The movie is directed by Wes Anderson (maker of “The Royal Tenenbaums” and other fine ach[...]
Poster Peek: ‘The Crazies’
— by FRANK MORITZ — Picture a sign sitting on a highway with “Help Us” written in red. Scary, huh? “The Crazies” looks to be another bad horror film from the looks of the poster. But hey, what do they always say? Never judge a book by its cover? Well, the same goes with a[...]
Poster Peek: ‘The Mechanic’
— by FRANK MORITZ — When I first look at the poster below, I see Jason Statham’s name in big bold letters. That’s a great way to hook someone onto a poster, put a very famous star’s name. I like Jason Statham; he is one of my guilty pleasure actors — along with Mark Walbe[...]
Poster Peek: ‘New Moon’
