The first official trailer to the sequel of the Amazing Spider-Man dropped today. Looks promising, with Spidey’s arch antagonist switching from the Lizard to Electro, another infamous (and classic) Peter Parker nemesis. The ultra-fast reboot of the once Tobey Maquire-led franchise only goes to show Hollywood’s voracious appetite for money superhero movies, so it’s no […]
Wes Anderson lends his particular talents to Italian fashion house Prada for a short film about a beleaguered hero (are there any other kind in Anderson films?) who finds himself marooned in a small Italian village called Castello Cavalcanti. The film stars Jason Schwartzman, naturally.
It’s a good day for film, as the first trailer to Darren Aronofsky’s latest cinematic opus hits the interwebs. As can be derived from the title, Noah tells the story of biblical apocalypse, and the mann that saw it coming. The film reunites Aronofsky with Jennifer Connelly, and also stars Russell Crowe, Ray Winstone, Emma […]

His newest exercise of whimsy revolves around Gustave H (played by Ralph Fiennes) and […]

Which makes us a prime audience for this documentary. Titled Dear Mr. Watterson, the trailer takes a deep look into the cultural impact of what we think is […]
Robocop. The remake. Need we say more? Arguably Paul Verhoeven’s best film, and one of the best sci-fi action films of the 80s (the finest decade for the stuff), gets the reboot. It will be tough to live up to the original, but what the fuck can you say about a modernized ED209?! Bring it […]
We posted the first teaser trailer for The Counselor back in June — the upcoming thriller written by the peerless Cormac McCarthy (he of The Road and No Country For Old Men) and directed by the occasionally great but spotty Ridley Scott. The Counselor is notable as it’s McCarthy’s first spec screenplay, which means he wrote […]
