Malick already planning next film with Bale, Bardem and McAdams

There was a time when you measured the interval between Terrence Malick projects in decades. Now however, with work still being completed on Tree of Life starring Brad Pitt and Sean Penn (due this Christmas), the leisurely director will apparently be shopping around his next picture at the Electronic Film Market in Berlin.
All that’s known [...]

Trailer #3: Sherlock Holmes

Unlike everything else we’ve seen of Sherlock Holmes, this latest trailer actually captures my interest a bit.

Trailer 2: Sherlock Holmes

The 2nd trailer for Guy Ritchie’s take on Sherlock Holmes starring Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law and Rachel McAdams.

Trailer: The Time Traveler’s Wife

We’re not against romantic drama’s per se, but so often they turn out to be flaccid turds that make us mad and kind of glad we’re single.

Trailer: State of Play

This one made LiC’s Watch List for 2009 based on the cast and because I liked Kevin Macdonald’s The Last King of Scotland. I have to admit though, the trailer doesn’t do anything for me. It looks like a routine Hollywood thriller in every way.

Of course, as I’m fond of pointing out, trailers are usually [...]
