Cusack in a Hot Tub....TIME MACHINE! 12/18/2009
Awards schmaschmords, we can talk about Oscar this and Oscar that, but what every audience member is really looking for is a good sit down with some entertaining material. Now this may not be the latest and the greatest, but tell me you didn't smile when Craig Robinson stares at the camera and says, "This must be some kind of hot tub time machine!" This movie will redeem John Cusack! And, even though the world's most annoying man, Clark Duke, is in it, I'll still see this. Watch the trailer and let us know what you think? Check out the Hot Tub Time Machine trailer AFTER the jump! --Greg MacLennan Add Comment It may lack the shoot a missile and walk away from an explosion moment of the first Iron Man trailer, but daaaamn is this sequel shaping up nicely. You get the cock-suredness of Downey's Tony Stark and just as things start to seem too fun and light you get the angry villain entrance and some fleeting glances of Scarlett Jo, Sammy Jacks, and War Machine. Who's excited for May 7th 2010? --Greg MacLennan The tale of Robin Hood is being retold once more, this time by frequent collaborators Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe. The trailer looks a bit like Gladiator meets 300 and features super slow-mo, a nearly nude Cate Blanchett, brooding electric guitar and baddies getting hacked up by swords. While that seems like a winning formula for getting plenty of man butts in movie theater seats, Robin Hood has the unfortunate timing of being released May 14, 2010, a week after Iron Man 2. What do you think of the trailer? Can Crowe really pull off Robin Hood, or should the man in green be left to the likes of Kevin Costner or Cary Elwes? Check the jump for the studio synopsis. --Eric Pulsifer How skeptical were you when you heard that a movie was being filmed based on the magical broom segment from Fantasia? How completely flabbergasted were you when you saw the photos of Nic Cage with creepy long hair? Yeah, me too. But, you know what? Based on the trailer below, I'm not completely adamant that The Sorcerer's Apprentice is going to suck. Check it out and see for yourself. Loosely adapted from the classic story from Fantasia and based in modern-day Manhattan, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is about Balthazar Blake (Cage), a sorcerer who recruits and trains a young protege (Jay Baruchel) to help fight the forces of darkness. Celebrity illusionist Drake Stone (Toby Kebbell) joins forces with an evil sorcerer named Horvath (Alfred Molina), to “gain ultimate powers.” The film, also features Teresa Palmer (Bedtime Stories) as Baruchel’s love interest and Monica Bellucci as Veronica, a sorceress and the long-lost love of Cage’s character. The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is set to hit theaters on July 16th 2010. --Darcie Duttweiler  2009 hasn't been the best year for everyone's favorite lovably odd leading man Steve Buscemi. Besides appearing in a handful of smaller films, Buscemi biggest roles were voice work in G-Force and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Ugh. Well, Buscemi is returning to the big screen with something that looks a bit more promising in 2010 — Saint John of Las Vegas. In the film, Buscemi plays John, a compulsive gambler who gives up cards and Vegas nightlife for a boring desk job and scratch-off tickets in Albuquerque. Forced to face his temptations, John ends up back in Sin City when his boss sends him to Vegas with a fraud investigator named Virgil, played by Romany Malco (The 40 Year Old Virgin). Somewhere along the way, he seems to find a love interest in co-worker Jill (Sarah Silverman). The film is directed by Hue Rhodes and co-stars Peter Dinklage (The Station Agent, Elf) and Entourage beauty Emmanuelle Chriqui. Saint John of Las Vegas premieres in select theaters Jan. 29. 2010. --Eric Pulsifer It's here! Teaser for "Deathly Hallows" 12/08/2009
You remember that shitty Beastly teaser trailer we posted a couple weeks ago and how disgustingly short it was? Well, the Harry Potter gang have given us die-hard Potter (even after my not-so nice review of Half Blood Prince) nerds a teaser trailer that, well, actually teases things! Check it out below and tell us what you think. Who else is bummed they have to wait a mere 11 months for this movie to come out? --Darcie Duttweiler If New Moon taught us something this past weekend, it's that the studios cannot ignore 'tweens (and their moms). In order to satiate the little ladies, CBS Films has released a 20 second teaser trailer for what they anticipate will be one of next year's big 'tween films: Beastly. Beastly, starring Alex Pettyfer, Vanessa Hudgens, Mary Kate Olsen, and Neil Patrick Harris, is the film adaptation of the 2007 novel, in which the Beast is a rich, popular boy who crosses the wrong girl who gives him two years to find true love or remain a beast forever. The flick bows July 30. See what you can glean from the super brief snippet below because there ain't much to go off of. --Darcie Duttweiler Are you heading to this "Date Night?" 11/12/2009
I love Tina Fey. She can practically do no wrong in my eyes. She's always super funny and smart, even in Baby Mama. Steve Carrell, on the other hand, I always WANT to like, but I find him the most grating part of The Office. He hasn't really made me giggle since Anchorman days, but people apparently go gaga for him. Anyhoo, Carrell and Fey are starring in a new movie set to hit theaters in April about a married couple in need of a night of romance, who end up on the wrong end of some shady criminal business when the ole identity switcharoo occurs. Boasting an impressive supporting cast with the likes of James Franco, Mila Kunis, Mark Wahlberg, Kristen Wiig, Mark Ruffalo, and that creepy dude from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Date Night sounds good on paper. But will it deliver the goods? Check out the trailer below and see for yourself. --Darcie Duttweiler Colin Firth is "A Single Man" 11/09/2009
A new trailer has popped up for the Tom Ford (yes the designer) directed, Colin Firth and Julianne Moore starring film A Single Man. Firth plays an English professor who, after the sudden death of his partner tries to go about his typical day in Los Angeles while Moore plays his aging party girl friend. The trailer looks clean, crisp and meticulously crafted, which one couldn't expect less from notorious perfectionist Ford. What do you guys think? --Greg MacLennan Trailer-palooza continues! 11/05/2009
All the cool movie news this week seems to just be the releasing of trailers, so let the festival of trailers continue! The newest trailer is Salt, the Angelina Jolie CIA flick set to bow next May. If you remember correctly, folks, this was a movie made for Tom Cruise, and, when he bowed out, they retooled it for Angelina. Basically, Salt is a CIA spy who gets accused of being a Russian double agent and she must go on the run to clear her name. Check out the trailer below. Thoughts? This almost looks like a Wanted knockoff to me, with Angelina doing the same ol' Angelina stunts and stripping down as much as possible. My mind's definitely not blown. --Darcie Duttweiler |
