Mini MMM: Rumor Has It
Been a while since I dug into a light romantic comedy. Let’s see if I still have the chops.
Rumor Has It… is the story of a woman (Jennifer Aniston) who finds out that her grandmother (Shirley Maclaine) might have been the inspiration for the Mrs. Robinson character in The Graduate. This tricky emotional ground gives [...]
Firewall poster
Everything about Firewall screams that it’s a move by star Harrison Ford and Warner Bros. to get Ford back to his golden-age of box-office dominance by putting him in the kind of roles that put him there to begin with. This poster is no exception. It’s loud, it’s slick and it has Ford [...]
American Dreamz trailer
Very heavy-handed trailer for what looks like a very heavy-handed movie. American Dreamz is the story of the host of an American Idol-esque show (played by Hugh Grant) who is looking to relieve the boredom he feels judging wanna-be singers. Concurrently the U.S. President (Dennis Quaid) is suffering a public opinion crisis, [...]
Apocalypto trailer
Touchstone Pictures has released the first trailer for Mel Gibson’s latest directorial effort Apocalypto. It’s certainly very visually rich and the music is fantastic but I have an important question: What’s the friggin’ movie about? Aren’t trailers - even teasers - supposed to give you some sort of clue as to the, I [...]
The 3 Burials of Melquiades Estrada trailer
Here’s the trailer for The 3 Burials of Melquiades Estrada, directed by and starring Tommy Lee Jones. It’s a bit action-oriented for a movie that, based on early reviews, has been described as a hard-hitting character drama so if the trailer doesn’t work for you (it didn’t completely for me) keep that in mind.

V For Vendetta trailer
Warner Bros. has released the new trailer for V For Vendetta, the dystopian-future adventure drama starring Natalie Portman. It’s fantastic as it gives us a well-rounded background on the story while still serving up plenty of kick-ass action scenes. I have to say it not only increased my interest in the movie by [...]
Tsotsi poster
Check out the poster for Tsotsi, the trailer for which I mentioned the other day. If I had to use one word to describe it I’d say “striking” would just about cover it.
Fun With Dick & Jane Netflix ads
I was just about to post that I hadn’t seen a scan yet, but sure enough HackingNetflix comes through once again. They have a scan of the ads for Fun With Dick & Jane that are now appearing in Netflix envelopes.
Family Stone as alternate Kong programming
Part of the criticism over the marketing of The Family Stone was that it played up the laughs too much for a movie that really was more of a drama with a few laughs sprinkled throughout. Well MediaBistro (by way of BeyondMadisonAvenue) says that was intentional. The idea was to create a strong [...]
Ads for The Matador viral site
adfreak points out a series of ads that ran in the New York Times yesterday that asked about a frustrating topic and included the URL www.juliannoble.com. When you bring that site up it looks like the corporate site for a contract killer but click on any of the links and the site crumbles to [...]
Mini MMM: Munich
When Steven Spielberg is good there’s no one better. Unfortunately he’s been undergoing a career redefinement the last several years with a mix of projects that show just how high he can climb artistically and just how low he can pander to over-wrought emotions. Minority Report worked for me extremely well both from a visual [...]
Kong fails to attract women
A reader of Hollywood Elsewhere pins the expected (and realized) disappointment of King Kong on there being no hunk for women to swoon over. Adrian Brody is too gaunt, Jack Black too chubby. Good points.
Catch & Release trailer
Kevin Smith gets as much screen time and dialogue as star Jennifer Garner in this initial trailer for Catch & Release. If you followed Smith’s blog you pretty much know all about the movie, if not it’s the story of a woman (Garner) as she gets back into life following the death of her [...]
