TRAILER: Let’s Have Quirky Teenage Sex in a Whimsical Pool of Tears in Submarine

Posted on April 21, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Our own Christopher Rosen (who I affectionately call “Crose” or “Croze” or “Croseanne Cash,” in case you were wondering) reviewed the UK trailer for the cute-ass Sundance fave Submarine before, and since then, it’s gotten cuter. In this new-ass American trailer for Richard Ayoade’s directorial debut, romantic kiddies enjoy quirky sex with each other and remain tolerable while doing so. Put on your hip Serge Gainsbourg-theme condom and hump along.

VIDEO: The Floating House in Pixar’s Up Becomes a Reality

Posted on March 7, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Here’s some (ahem) uplifting news to start the week: Real life just got a little bit closer to Pixar movies! Or at least closer to Up . A group of scientists have found that you actually can make a house float simply by tying hundreds of helium balloons to it. 300 balloons, to be exact. If this feat into isn’t cause for universal celebration, I’m not sure what is. Surely, an even larger group of scientists is working to take this research to its natural conclusion and find a way for humans to actually live inside the Pixar movies we love so dearly. Check out the video of the floating house after the jump.

About 30 Characters Pursue a Hooker with a Hard Drive in the Cat Run Trailer

Posted on March 7, 2011 by | Leave a comment

In 2001, after Paz Vega’s sexy and moving performance in Sex and Lucia , I was poised for her to break out in America, or at least become a staple of quality indie films. I tried to keep hope alive after her false-start in Spanglish and a number of appearances in even more mediocre films, but I’m disappointed to report that her latest starring role in the Thriller/Comedy Cat Run isn’t doing my optimism any favors. At least this overstuffed, almost incoherent trailer sure isn’t.

Rubber Red-Band Trailer Contains 100% More Exploding Heads (And Bunnies)

Posted on March 3, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Forget Drive Angry and please, please forget Bad Teacher ; if any movie was ever justified in jumping on this red-band trailer trend, its Rubber . I mean, points for effort , but how are you supposed to sell a high concept movie about a tire that can explode people’s heads without actually showing some exploding heads? Or at least an exploding bunny. Thus, I present the just-released red-band trailer for Rubber which features all sorts of creatures exploding. Only, why does this suddenly look like an art film?

While we were all picking apart the Oscar Nominations and putting them back together yesterday, the busy distributors at Sundance were forging ahead, keeping their nose to the ground and making serious deals! Well okay, two distributors. One deal each. Fine! Things slowed down a bit yesterday, but it didn’t stop the completions of a few high profile sales. Read ahead for the details about Tobey Maguire’s descent into a suburban nightmare and what sounds like an Irish version of Lethal Weapon with Brendan Gleeson and Don Cheadle.

The Sunset Limited Trailer, Starring Samuel L. Jackson, Tommy Lee Jones and an Apartment

Posted on January 26, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Unfair as it may be, it’s often hard to get excited about movies that take place entirely in one or two rooms while two characters have it out verbally. That said, if you’re going to stick two actors in a room and film them, you could do a lot worse than Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L. Jackson. A source play by Cormac McCarthy ( No Country for Old Men , The Road ) doesn’t hurt either. For proof, just check out the totally riveting full length trailer for the Jones-directed HBO movie The Sunset Limited .

Cedar Rapids Trailer: Ed Helms Gets Crazy at the Insurance Convention

Posted on December 23, 2010 by | Leave a comment

It’s the day before Christmas Eve, and if you’re anything like me, you’re probably wondering, “Hey! What will be the next quirky and still totally by-the-book comedy with an almost-famous cast to be marketed as an indie film, complete with a Sundance premiere?” Well, just in time for your consideration, here is the trailer for Cedar Rapids , in which Ed Helms plays a naive man who leaves his small town for the first time only to be schooled in the ways of getting drunk, screwing and fighting by the wacky John C. Reilly.

Hanna Trailer Teaches How to Train Your Assassin

Posted on December 21, 2010 by | Comments Off on Hanna Trailer Teaches How to Train Your Assassin

When a trailer starts with Eric Bana telling a young girl who was raised in the woods, “You’re dead. I’ve killed you,” you know you’re in for something a little different. Especially when the next shot is of said girl running and screaming like a banshee over a pulsing score from the Chemical Brothers. Thankfully, the trailer for Hanna never looses steam, veering wildly from Kick-Ass -style cool to fairy-tale wonder to the tender, coming of age moments of the titular young assassin, played by Saoirse Ronan. Oh, and it’s from the director of Pride and Prejudice and Atonement .

By Ymir’s Icy Beard! New Thor Trailer Puts The Hammer Down

Posted on December 11, 2010 by | Comments Off on By Ymir’s Icy Beard! New Thor Trailer Puts The Hammer Down

After awhile, there are only so many action movies about cops, spies or puddle-faced Shia LeBeouf one can take. A little variety is needed! So that’s why I’m glad that Thor is here. Isn’t it time we had a big, rollicking action movie starring a pantheon of Norse gods? After the break, take a look at the trailer for Marvel Studios’ latest salvo for summer movie domination, Thor .

Prom Trailer: Is Disney the New King of High School Cinema?

Posted on November 18, 2010 by | Comments Off on Prom Trailer: Is Disney the New King of High School Cinema?

I’ve waited years for a movie to get prom right. Mean Girls came close with its ludicrous prom queen coronation sequence, but otherwise you rarely see prom depicted for what it is (at least to me ): a disillusioning display of social status, pettiness and rented decorations. Teen cinema is so often invested in “popularity” as a legitimate high school force that proms are treated like magical and climactic events as opposed to well-chaperoned letdowns. But maybe Disney is on to something with its new movie Prom , a flick that looks a bit more Degrassi than de rigeur .
