It was inevitable: a remake of Ed Wood’s masterpiece Plan 9 from Outer Space. Here’s the just-released trailer for Plan 9…
New trailer for THE ROAD
About a month and a half ago I read The Road by Cormac McArthy (who also wrote No Country for Old Men). The Road was easily one of the most engaging, empathetic and sympathetic works of literature that I have read in quite a long time. The film version opens on October 16th and stars Charlize Theron, Viggo Mortenson, Garret Dillahunt, Guy Pearce and Robert Duvall.
Here’s the latest trailer for The Road…
There are five more clips from The Road up The Movie Rambler.
And if you haven’t read it already, I cannot say enough how good a novel The Road is. You should be able to find it at most bookstores, on Amazon.com ‘course and maybe even at your local “big box” store....
Trailer for THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS
A film starring George Clooney, Ewan McGregor and Kevin Spacey based on the real-life experiments that the United States military conducted in psychic warfare. I didn’t know anything about this one but judging by the trailer, The Men Who Stare At Goats looks rather promising…
It’s due to open in theaters this November 6th....
First trailer for James Cameron’s AVATAR
Haven’t been able to find it on YouTube yet, so for the time being you’ll have to watch it in Quicktime format. Which may be for the best anyway, since Quicktime is much more high-res.
Avatar certainly looks good. So far as what the story is supposed to be about, I’m not quite jazzed about it. Yet, anyway. But hey, I’ve been pleasantly surprised about a movie before, maybe this one will too.
Avatar opens this coming December 18th....
Concept footage/semi-teaser thingy for TRON LEGACY
This afternoon Disney finally made an official release of that concept footage for Tron Legacy, next year’s sequel to the 1982 movie about a parallel reality that exists within the realm of computers. This is the same footage that Disney showed at Comic-Con last year, but with the new Tron Legacy logo…
Click here to zap back down onto the game grid.
And you might wanna also take a looksee at Flynn Lives, a Tron Legacy teaser website about what has happened to Kevin Flynn (the character that Jeff Bridges played in Tron and will reprise again in the sequel). It hints that in the years since Flynn took over ENCOM he has become a “Bill Gates meets Howard Hughes”-type of person....
Second trailer for NORMALSVILLE
Rising filmmaker and good friend of this blog Marco van Bergen wants y’all to know that the second trailer for his upcoming movie Normalsville is online. And he surprised me a bit by officially making me a real film critic! 😛
Third TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN trailer is online!
Officially, it’s being hosted at Yahoo! Movies. Un-officially however, you can find it pretty much anywhere on the ‘nets tonight. I snagged it in high-definition from YouTube.
However it is that you see it, make sure to catch the third trailer for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen…
That’s Constructicon combined gestalt bad-‘bot Devastator scarfing down a wazoo-load of Saharan sand, trying to suck in and chop Optimus Prime to slivers. By the way, Devastator is now said to be the most complex digital construct that Industrial Light and Magic has ever done in its entire thirty-some years of existence!
I also feel led to comment that based on this trailer alone, it looks like the second Transformers movie is going to be much more intense in the way of plot than the first film… along with a hella lot more action (and presumably more ...
Trailer for TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN
Giant transforming sentient robotic organisms and lots of Michael Bay-hem signature carnage and ‘splosions (with a soundtrack by Steve Jablonsky). What more could you ask for?!
Trailer for INGLORIOUS BASTERDS
I must regretfully confess that I have never seen a Quentin Tarantino movie during a first run in the theaters…
…but I am already sold on Inglorious Basterds, due for release this summer.
“Each man under my command owes me one hundred Nazi scalps. And I want my scalps.”

Trailer for BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM (and about that review of THE DARK KNIGHT…)
It’s the old joke: “The inmates have take over the asylum”. But when the inmates are the rogues gallery of the Caped Crusader, turned loose inside the non-Euclidean former manse of Amadeus Arkham, and the only thing their sickened minds can fixate on is Batcave-ing in your Batskull, in a game being likened to BioShock well… that’s the kind of maniacal mayhem that Batman: Arkham Asylum promises to deliver. The game’s story is written by Paul Dini and will feature Kevin Conroy returning as the voice of Batman and Mark Hamill reprising that of the Joker…
Batman: Arkham Asylum is due out May 1st from Rocksteady Studios and Eidos Interactive, and is being built with the Unreal Engine 3.
And speaking of all things Batman…
A lot of people have still been wondering why I didn’t write a review of The Dark Knight.
Well folks, in the end… it ...
