My guess is that Avatar is going to rock, at least in the trailer department. Based on the number of awesome trailers that have hit the Internet over the past few days, I can only imagine what it’ll be like to sit through the trailers in front of Avatar. The one I wasn’t expecting: a trailer for the remake of Clash of the Titans, starring Terminator Salvation’s Sam Worthington as Perseus. I love... 

Michael Jackson’s unperformed concert series is about to head to theaters in one shape or another. Footage from the rehearsals has been pieced together for a film version titled This is it, which will allow audiences to see Jackson perform one more time and unveil something akin to Jackson’s plan for his return to the stage. Our own Margaret Williams has some choice words to say on the subject... 

I’ve already been unimpressed with the marketing campaign for Avatar. The minimal information while filming filled some with anticipation, but not me. Considering my low expectations, I’m surprised this week has actually been a step down for the movie, with marketing moves failing at just about every step. Avatar day ticket demand melted the server, and even once tickets were able to be acquired,... 

I’ve been waiting with anticipation ever since it was announced that Peter Jackson would be heading up the adaptation of Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones. Jackson’s name alone was enough to get me to read the book I had previously been unaware of… well, most of it, at least. I seemed to stall out in the middle somewhere – something I’m hearing from quite a few people. Still, the movie... 

The trailer for Tim Burton’s take on Alice in Wonderland is finally online (or should we say it’s online again, since there seemed to be a mistake the other day with it being put up too early). I got the chance to see it in 3-D tonight attached to G-Force and that’s clearly the way this trailer was meant to be seen. Viewing it on the big screen with stuff popping out felt far superior to the... 

Before I even begin to address Julie & Julia, let me set the record straight first. I consider myself an intelligent, man-loving feminist, who gags at the words “romantic comedy,” and have never read anything classified as “chic lit.” That being said, after seeing the newly released trailer for Julie & Julia, I get a girly feeling inside that makes me want to root for... 

Set to release August 14th information about the film District 9 seems to have flown under the radar. Produced by Peter Jackson, with director Neill Blomkamp, the trailer for the film shows everything while explaining nothing. Initially the shots set up that what seems to be a lot of military presence somewhere in Africa. It’s obvious people are scared and sharing their viewpoints with an interviewer... 

Anytime there’s an adaptation of a classic to the big screen I think everyone takes a deep breath in and thinks: this could either be cinematic awe, or a total train wreck. What can be even trickier is taking a timeless, unforgettable tale like Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are and trying to make movie magic. One misstep and critics will complain for weeks, parents will shield their children’s...
