The Hunger Games is now nearer than ever — duh. But March draws even closer as we enter Feburary, and Lionsgate plays on that fact by releasing another excellent trailer for the upcoming film. I think this trailer is better than the first, so don’t delay and hit the jump to check it out.
Matt’s Review: ‘Man on a Ledge’ is Formulaic, But An Action Packed Thrill Ride
Posted by: | Comments
GRADE: B-
The premise of this film is self explanatory considering the title. Man on a Ledge is the latest Sam Worthington flick, which also stars Jamie Bell, Edward Burns, Elizabeth Banks, Anthony Mackie, and Ed Harris. Worthington plays Nick Cassidy, a man, who is essentially on a ledge for the majority of the film. This is the quintessential example of a popcorn flick, a film that is purely entertaining, full of cheap thrills, and devoid of real emotion. It isn’t a narrative that progresses rationally, and some of the characters and many of the situations are over the top. But like I said, it’s a mindless popcorn flick akin to many Summer blockbusters.
Exciting New Trailer for Paul Haggis’ ‘The Next Three Days’ with Russell Crowe
Posted by: | Comments
The first trailer for The Next Three Days has made its way online at Yahoo! (via Collider) and it looks pretty damn good. The film comes from the brilliant mind of Paul Haggis; Oscar-winning screenwriter/director responsible for the likes of Crash, Million Dollar Baby, Letters from Iwo Jima and Casino Royale, just to name a few. No big deal, right? His latest film stars Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks as John and Lara Brennan, a typical married couple who’s lives get turned upside down when Lara is arrested and convicted of a murder she didn’t commit. Or did she? John then cooks up a crazy plan to break his beloved wife out of prison. Sounds pretty sweet to me.
