a trailer can have an entirely different quality than the film itself — it’s almost as much fun to watch!
Happy Friday folks! Time for a new trailer since I skipped last week. From Oscar nominated Aussie director Bruce Beresford (Tender Mercies, Driving Miss Daisy), it's a drama based on the autobiography by Li Cunxin. At the age of 11, Li was plucked from a poor Chinese village by Madame Mao's cultural delegates and taken …

Now there's an odd on-screen married couple: Helen Mirren and Joe Pesci. As the Guardian astutely pointed out, these two have a combined age of 131, but at age 65, Dame Helen Mirren can still pack some heat! Her American accent is inconsistent based on the trailer, but would anyone even notice? Based on a …

I'm playing catch-up with the latest trailers after weeks of not posting a single one.

Happy Friday, folks! I happened to stumble upon the Waking Sleeping Beauty documentary last night and I just had to share. I've always been a fan of all the Disney's animated features ever since I was little. Say what you will about the company, but one can't deny their place in animation history. To this …

I'm all for swords & sandals flicks, so naturally I'm intrigued by this Roman empire feature Centurion when I first read about it in Empire a couple of months ago. The fact that it stars one of my top ten actors to watch Michael Fassbender doesn't hurt, either. I first noticed the rising German/Irish star …
