The Island Official Site
Warner Bros. and Dreamworks have launched the official site for The Island. The site so far is very slick, lending credence to my theory that this will be a brainless action flick. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing (I actually count True Lies as one of my favorite action flicks) but [...]
Bewitched Trailer
Here’s the new trailer for Bewitched the “Is it a remake or is it a kind of meta examination of…ummm…something” flick coming out later this year.
This version isn’t a whole lot different from the one released a couple months ago. It’s a lot of the same footage but arranged slightly differently. The [...]
The Legend of Zorro Trailer Online
Sony Pictures - The Legend of Zorro
Sony Pictures has launched the official site for Legend of Zorro.
Right now the site is pretty bare, just hosting the trailer (previously reviewed by me here and by Chris 2.0 here).

The Island Teaser Poster

Why exactly is this (or the one featuring Ewan McGregor’s face) a teaser? Isn’t a teaser supposed to, you know, tease something? I’d be interested to see where they could go from this with a theatrical version considering the teasers: A) Show an island, B) Show a character and C) Use [...]

Here’s why I like this poster: The bright colors clearly identify it as a kids flick, or at least one oriented toward kids. This is emphsized by the fact that it proclaims it’s “From the Director of ‘Spy Kids’”.Also, the way the graphic elements pop forward really emphasizes the fact that [...]
No Column This Week…

…because I’m busy working on next week’s which will feature Revenge of the Sith. It’s going to be a long one and has actually required me to do some research. Never knew this writing thing would force me to any effort into it.
Stay [...]

I have a very clear memory of standing in line for a movie at a theater also playing the original TMNT flick. My buddies and I spent the time in line making fun of the neophytes going to see them Turtles. Good times, [...]

Take a gander at the teaser poster for the upcoming Wallace & Gromit feature. No there’s not much to the poster but hey, it’s Wallace & Gromit. It’ll be better than most other kids-oriented releases.

Valiant Trailer
Valiant - Yahoo! Movies Exclusive Trailer
I had such high hopes for this trailer. Surely if anyone could rise above the tendencies of animated flicks to play to the lowest common denominator it was the British, right?
Unfortunately it seems they weren’t. The trailer for Valiant contains the same type of humor running rampant in [...]
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Teaser Trailer
Apple - Trailers - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Franchises are increasingly using nostalgia as a means to engender good will for their latest entries. One quarter or so of Revenge of the Sith’s teaser trailer was made up of footage from the five preceding movies. Land of the Dead does the [...]
Twin Sisters Trailer
IFILM - Movies: Twin Sisters
The plot seems interesting but I’m not sure the trailer does the movie justice. Twin sisters are separated at a young age and then come together again only to find they hold opposite idealogies in wartime Germany.
The narration of the trailer is a bit on the heavy-handed side but I [...]
