    The trailer to Lust, Caution, Ang Lee's newest, looks dramatic, sexy, exciting, and suspiciously free of dialog. It's almost as if they don't want us to realize it's in Mandarin! Nice try, Ang, but I don't go to the movies to read. That's what books and take-out menus are for, ... / Continue →

    The invention of the "Scottish Filter" allowed Boyle to shoot love scenes with his countrymen, whose skin tones made the operation impossible with earlier technology. In a recent interview on Kurt Loder's MTV show, I Can't Believe I'm Still Alive, Danny Boyle says it might be a... / Continue →

    T 'N F Shoot 'Em Up stars Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti, and Monica Bigtitserino, looks like a cross between Snatch and Smokin' Aces, and was written and directed by Michael Davis, a dude I've never really heard of before. I'll be honest, the trailer looks promising. It reminds m... / Continue →

    A red-band trailer for the Dane Cook/Jessica Alba comedy Good Luck Chuck has found its way online, complete with F-words and cum shots or whatever it is that makes trailers red-band. I haven't watched it out of fear it will make the sting that much greater when Cook or one of h... / Continue →

    The trailer to The Jane Austen Book Club somehow manages to combine all the reasons I'd never join a Jane Austen book club with all the reasons I'd never see a movie. In it, several women (I didn't count or notice how many) collect to discuss the works of Jane Austen but soon d... / Continue →

    The new poster for The Invasion looks very good to me because it effectively communicates the film's two key highlights: 1. That they've made Invasion of the Body Snatchers into a much darker, serious sci-fi thriller than its predecessors, as seen in the recent trailer. 2. Th... / Continue →

    Alvin and the Chipmunks was never anything amazing, and even as a kid I never fully grasped why these giant, intelligent chipmunks were able to live in the human world fairly unnoticed outside of some relative fame as singers (rather than as the mutant freaks they were). Howeve... / Continue →
