New Poster Released for Wes Anderson’s Grand Budapest Hotel

Everyone loves Wes Anderson, right? He wrote and directed Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Darjeeling Limited, and Moonrise Kingdom. Not a dud in the bunch. So when he has new movie coming out, we anticipate it with rapt enthusiasm, so much so that we get excited when […]

Fun New Ad Campaign for Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac

Director, writer, auteur, Lars von Trier is known for his unique style of filmmaking: Dogville, Antichrist, and Melancholia. You see one of his movies and you know you’re in for something unlike most of the films flooding theaters.

Fantastic News about Fantastic Beasts

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, by Newt Scamander (J.K. Rowling).

Are you ready for a new set of Harry Potter movies? Well that’s too bad because you’re not going to be getting any (sorry). However, you will be getting a new series of films set in the same universe. Author J.K. Rowling and Warner Bros are launching a whole new series which will be based […]

I loved both movies for bending genres […]

Joss Whedon Doesn’t Save Anything For The Trip Back

I mentioned in my review of Cabin in the Woods (here) that I’m a Joss Whedon fan. Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel are two of my most favorite shows of all time.

Music in Trailers

I have a love/hate relationship with movie trailers. I love having my appetite for movies whetted by getting a peak at the upcoming ones. I hate how much of the story they seem to give away. I’ve seen the trailer for Michael Bay’s upcoming Pain and Gain about 5 or 6 times now, and as my girlfriend […]
