Here’s the trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s Che starring Benicio Del Toro. I still haven’t made up my mind if it’s great or merely very good, but I look forward to giving it another spin.
Che is set to play (in two parts…I think) for a one-week Oscar qualifying run in Los Angeles and New York beginning [...]

In my turkey-induced post-Thanksgiving coma, I missed the trailer for What Doesn’t Kill You, which hit the Internet on Friday. I’ll officially watch just about anything with Mark Ruffalo in it.
Two boyhood friends (Mark Ruffalo and Ethan Hawke) on a downward spiral of crime in South Boston are imprisoned. While one turns over a new [...]

Here’s another look at Tom Tykwer’s The International starring Clive Owen and Naomi Watts. I’ve been interested in this one for a while just based on the people involved, but the first trailer didn’t do much to inspire confidence plus there’s the whole matter of the February dumping ground.
This trailer looks similar but a bit [...]

The adaptation of Neil (Sandman) Gaiman’s children’s book Coraline by writer/director Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas) has been on LiC radar since it was originally announced as a 2008 release. Since then it’s been pushed back to February 2009, but my enthusiasm is undimmed.
At last, here’s a look at the first Coraline trailer:
The story [...]

Here’s the trailer to Rod Lurie’s upcoming Nothing But the Truth starring Kate Beckinsale and Vera Farmiga.
I haven’t really looked at the big picture to see how crowded the actress categories are so far this year, but I think Beckinsale will surprise people who only think of her as a pretty face. Farmiga continues to [...]

After some initial skepticism, I drank the Kool Aid on Watchmen a while back. The more I see of it, the more I like it. It’s still hard to imagine a 2-hour movie doing the graphic novel justice, but Zack Snyder seems to have approached it in the right spirit and I admire the fact [...]

Ok, trying to get back up to speed on current movie events and wondering if there’s any point in running days old material. In this case, it’s Pixar so it never gets old.

It seems quaint today, but this movie simply scared the bejeebers out of me when I was a lad.
Happy Halloween!

Here’s the international teaser trailer for the next Harry Potter movie. Though I’ve always been vaguely disappointed in them, I’ve still managed to read all the books and see all the movies. I can never remember which is which, but there has to be something to them right?

Ordinarily I run screaming from movies about Christmas, but this one is different. Arnaud Desplechin (Kings and Queen) brings us Catherine Deneuve, her daughter Chiara Mastroianni, Mathieu Amalric and Emmanuelle Devos in a French dysfunctional family Christmas.
A Christmas Tale (Un Conte de Noël) premiered at this year’s Cannes to good reviews. It can next be [...]
