Film Peek - April 2007

THE SALON - POSTER

April 30th 2007 21:17
Amazing! Mark Brown, the maker of Barbershop found a completely new genre and style to explore!

It's called The Salon and is about a bunch of black people in a beautyshop, where the owner fights to save it as she struggles with love. [IMDB]

Of course the title is changed, it's more of a... synonym.

But seriously, I liked Barbershop. It was fun and refreshing, with great dialogue. Therefore, this doesn't bother me. I mean, why not do what you're good at instead of forcing yourself to do things outside of your territory (like Uwe Boll who directs instead of boxing).


A nice cast is gathered this time as well - Terrence Howard, Vivica A. Fox, etc. The new poster is available and you can see it right here:

CAPTIVITY - TRAILER

April 30th 2007 20:46
Captivity

Captivity is the story about a man and a woman awaken to find themselves captured in a cellar. As their kidnapper drives them psychologically mad, the truth about their horrific abduction is revealed [IMDB].

Now the new trailer is out, and it states that it's "the film they don't want you to see". Haven't the marketing-people learned anything? This only raises the usual smart-ass phrases like "they don't want you to see it and neither do I" or "they probably refer to those with good taste".


I got one for ya: They don't want you to see it, because you already have. You'll know what will happen from the opening credits already.

BUT. If you like "those" horror flicks maybe you should, since it looks like one of the better ones. After all, Elisha Cuthbert is not that bad.

RATATOUILLE PREVIEW

April 30th 2007 09:01
Ratatouille hunt

Ratatouille becomes greater and more beautiful with every preview we get. Disney intends to release a whole 9 minutes of it online May 1. Meantime they've already given us a shorter preview as promo for the longer preview. Re-read that last sentence in case you're confused.

Click here to see it or "save as" to download it.
Now the 9 minute preview is available, watch it here!

If you haven't yet, see the trailer here. There's also an interesting featurette available, also a must-see if you're excited about Ratatouille.

SUPERBAD POSTER

April 30th 2007 08:45
Again, this is NOT a superbad poster, but the poster for the movie Superbad. The seemingly hilarious movie Superbad.

We saw the trailer a while back and it didn't show much but enough to realize this is gonna be funny. Superbad and Knocked Up are the two R-rated comedies to see this year

Another movie I look forward to and that's based in a comic character, is Iron Man. Some films just smell confidence.

Now a nice pic is out of Robert Downey Jr., the Iron Man himself, that I personally think looks great. Robert is way up on his career with several superb movies lately, such as A Scanner Darkly and Zodiac

TRANSFORMERS - INTERNATIONAL POSTER

April 26th 2007 11:34
Transformers is getting closer and closer and soon it will explode into our brains with the rare wow-factor. Probably, hopefully.

Until now it has gotten nice comments by people who attended previews, so that's always something. We will have to settle with smaller previews though, like the new kick-ass poster. I must admit I didn't quite enjoy the previous ones, but this international has "see me" printed all over it

GOYA'S GHOSTS - POSTER

April 25th 2007 17:54
Finally we can peek at Goya's Ghosts, a movie including Natalie Portman and therefore is good. She shows some in it so that's pretty much guaranteed anyway.

This is a very limited and small movie it seems, because US will get it almost last. It's about a painter, Francisco Goya, who faces a scandal involving his muse who is labeled a heretic by a monk (IMDB

FANTASTIC FOUR 2 PICTURES

April 25th 2007 11:28
I know this doesn't have a lot of fans, at least not as many as other comic-movies, but it still is pretty amusing I must say. Not great, but entertaining in a way.

By all the previews we got so far, it looks like this will be even better. I like to think that film-makers learn from their mistakes, even thought that's not the case. Usually we get the same piece of crap or worse. And even a bit better than crap is still not good, so

Two posters are out today, both from non-wow flicks but hopefully non-bad as well.

The first one is from Balls of Fury, the comedy with Christopher Walken (surprisingly) in it. It's all about Ping Pong and they really try hard to make it look cool, which actually works almost. I don't know about the poster though, seems a bit "over the top" and completely unnecessary. It's not even R-rated

The Golden Age

A lot of golden stuff lately. Few months ago we had The Golden Compass with Keira Knightley and now it's time for the trailer of The Golden Age with Cate Blanchett. Two different stories but still period pieces.

So what's up with all the joker pictures getting published here and there and everywhere? Why bother when ultimately nothing is fully reliable anyway?

Well, it's fun. Like the biggest breaking scoop since the first picture of Venom. So here's the whole story until today

Alec Baldwin
This vid has created some buzz all over the net, to say the least, so why not have it here too? You know, like off topic but still on topic since actors and movies have stuff in common.

Alec Baldwin, the cooler brother in his family, left a very angry message to his young daughter. Only 11 or 12 years old (he doesn't know exactly himself) and he's acting like she's the worst grown up woman in the world. What did she do

Harry Potter kisses
Harry, NO magic powers to make girls kiss you! That's unfair...

I know a lot of people await this movie, like nothing else. Harry Potter has gained (almost) as many fans as the Star Wars and the Order of the Phoenix more interest than The Return of the King.

SPIDERMAN BROADWAY MUSICAL?

Ok look. I like musicals a lot, but this is just more than even I can handle. A Spiderman musical? That's incredibly stupid and awful. Or is it? Yes, it is.

The Hollywood Reporter reports it's true though

3:10 TO YUMA - PICTURES

April 20th 2007 11:40
3:10 to Yuma promises to be good. Great, almost perfect, cast and the story isn't bad either. I'm not a fan of western flicks, but this seems to be more than that. Interesting.

Russell Crowe, Christian Bale, Ben Foster are some of the stars in 3:10 to Yuma. I must say, that's like my dream-team right there. The movie is about a small-time rancher that agrees to hold a captured outlaw who's awaiting a train to go to court in Yuma. A battle of wills ensues as the outlaw tries to psych out the rancher.

News after news after news. This time some action flicks are on the tabloid.

First off we got a new poster for Ocean's 13, which I personally think is rather awful. I mean, no excitement, no coolness and very plain. Ok, maybe the whole card-idea is smart, but that's poorly executed as well. Hopefully the movie will be better

LICENSE TO WED - POSTER

April 19th 2007 09:13
Robin Williams' new romantic comedy, License to Wed, has a new poster out.

As a fan of The Office, I can't really see John Krasinski, aka Jim, in another role. It seems weird. Hopefully his perfomance will be different, in another style, but I doubt that. His expression in this poster shows clearly he's not ready for something this big. Fake

Yes, this is the movie where John Travolta is a tranny. And everyone else also look like trannys to me. It's called Hairspray and is a re-make of a film with the same title from 1988.

Ever seen Nicholas Cage in a Japanese TV-show? Ever seen Cage in a Japanese cooking talk-show?

I'm sure you always wanted to, so here's your chance. Nicholas Cage appears in Japanese TV promoting Ghostrider (don't tell the Japanese that America hates it). It's really not anything special, other than the funny pronunciation and colorful subtitles
