“Colombiana” (2011): It’s “Hanna” All Grown Up
Colombiana‘s trailer just premiered today, and it’s anything but shabby. Not only does it come from the writers of Taken (which basically requires me to see this movie), it is also from the director of Transporter 3. That’s not a bad combination, but before I put forth my thoughts you need to watch the trailer if … Continue reading
Immortals (2011): From the Producers of 300
The first trailer for Immortals was recently released, and the movie looks like it will be very entertaining. Like it says on the poster, it comes from the producers of 300, and it definitely is in that vein. When I watched the trailer I thought it seemed the product of 300, Troy, and Clash of the … Continue reading
“Another Earth” (2011) Trailer: Plot Fail
Another Earth recently released its movie trailer after doing well at the Sundance Film Festival. From the title of the film, you can gather it has to do with another planet earth and the implications which ensue. That being said, the Facebook page for Another Earth outlines the story as: Rhoda Williams, a bright young woman accepted into MIT’s … Continue reading

Three days ago the first trailer for terri was released, and it is pretty interesting. The film stars John C. Reilly (Step Brothers), Jacob Wysocki (Huge), and Creed Barton (The Office).

Oh the sequels, they are a comin’…Star Trek 2, Bond 23, Men in Black 3, The Dark Knight Rises and oh so many more in 2012
When I see a movie I like, I always give a sequel a chance. I rarely care how good it looks, I’m just willing to see what they build on and where the story goes. The sequel to a sequel is different. If the movie that came before it was not impressive, the name alone … Continue reading
Anonymous: The Shakespeare Conspiracy Thriller
I like a good conspiracy, and I’m sure everyone has heard a time or two that Shakespeare didn’t actually write all of the work accredited him. Now we get a conspiracy thriller going deeper into the subject. Who wrote the plays of William Shakespeare–Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford–and why would they not take the … Continue reading
First Trailer of Warrior (2011)
Another fight movie is set to release, and America will be pleased. Because of our history, we–Americans–love the fight; we love watching someone beat the odds and do what others say is impossible. We love fight movies: Rocky, The Fighter, Cinderella Man, Million Dollar Baby, Raging Bull, The Hurricane, The Set-Up, and The Quiet Man–all great … Continue reading
Captain America: The First Avenger–The First Official Trailer
Ever since the Super Bowl spot for Captain America: The First Avenger, I’ve been waiting for a legitimate trailer. And now we have one. The trailer was only just released and has yet to go viral (less than 1,000) views. I’ll stop writing now and let you check it out… Not too shabby…Right? Going off … Continue reading
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides…Another Go-Round for Jac–Excuse Me–Captain Jack Sparrow
The newest trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (Pirates of the Caribbean 4) was just released, and it looks pretty interesting. If you saw the first trailer you were likely intrigued, but not that excited. I was going to see it regardless, of course, but I wasn’t chomping at the bit (bit … Continue reading
