Officially, this is the last international trailer before the opening of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in May. There’s a lot more Goblin in there, and again, a lot more focus on character development which is a good thing, I think. Though since various sources are calling this the Empire Strikes B read more

A few caveats: Yes, this does seem to be legit, and from Marvel, though the first source I was going to link to seems to have disappeared, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this one didn’t, too. Obviously, If I find a better, or possibly more stable one, I’ll link to it, but for now ( read more

This not-quite thirty minute long feature is pretty much exactly what it sets out to be: A Concise History of the Origins of Cinema. It maps (literally) the many advancements that came together to bring us a short yet well constructed history, going the shadow puppet plays of early China through to read more

Just a few of notes about this new trailer: 1) We’ve seen the shot with the “path of destruction trail” before, and I’m really hoping that it means we’re also going to get a return of Mothra* in this flick, too. After all, we already know that there’s going to be read more

Continuing to wend my way through the Sight and Sound Top 250 Greatest Movies of All Time. This week, it’s #006 on the list, Stanley Kubrick‘s 2001: A Space Odyssey. For a longer introduction to this series and a look at the full list, just click here. And if you want a heads-up on what read more

Of course, it’s only a teaser, but if this trailer is any indication, it looks like this translation of the classic Peanuts characters to the big screen may actually work. I usually find these expansions rather dreary and unnecessary affairs, but if there were ever characters that should work read more

Just a quick note about the blog as the week begins: This is probably going to be another of those weeks without a whole lot of material posted. In particular, there won’t be a Top 250 Tuesday, nor a Thursday Old Time Radio post (though the Saturday Double Feature and the associated guessing g read more

The short intro: For those who are unfamiliar with the concept, Old Time Radio is the phrase generally used to refer to the time when radio was (mostly) live, and was full of a variety of different shows, as opposed to simply being a means for record labels to use robots to promote the top records o read more

I found the first Sin City to be a quirky, highly stylized little thriller, though I also know quite a few people who didn’t like it for the exact same reasons I did. Either way, if this trailer is any indication, you’ll already know whether you want to spend more time there, because the read more
