As if you needed more enticement to see Michael Bay's 'Pain & Gain,' which opens today, a hilarious new red-band clip has hit the web. What? You weren't excited to see 'Pain & Gain?' The Rock and …

The first thing that really grabbed me in the marketing for Jon Chu's 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' was the battle sequence featuring ninjas repelling down mountains. Seriously, it looked like the movie Sho Kosugi would make if he had…

Sam Raimi's 'The Evil Dead' set several new standards for horror cinema. Fede Alvarez's 'Evil Dead' remake seems adeptly aware of these…

One word: ninjas. Two words: ninja showdown. That is precisely what is going down in this new clip from Jon Chu's 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation.' Storm Shadow (Byung-hun Lee) and Snake Eyes (…

There are so many major blockbusters to look forward to this summer. However, as has been the case in the last few years, the summer season of 2013 really begins this month. One of the big releases in March is Jon Chu's 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation.' As much as I wasn't a fan of the first movie, the marketing for the…

Just over two weeks to go before John McClane is once again primed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. John Moore's 'A Good Day to Die Hard' will find McClane (Bruce Willis) running amok in Russia with his son…

For a while now we've been talking about the upcoming Steve Jobs biopic 'jOBS.' Or I suppose I should say one of the Steve Jobs biopics. 'jOBS' is the version being directed by Joshua Michael Stern ('Swing Vote') and…

Park Chan-wook is a fascinating filmmaker. The director of 'Oldboy,' 'Lady Vengeance,' and 'Thirst,' is a major reason why South Korea has become such a power player in international cinema. His latest film, …

It's reached the point where I look forward to new Pixar shorts as much as their actual feature film to which the short is attached. This year, in front of 'Monsters University,' Pixar will be unveiling their latest short entitled 'The Blue Umbrella.' Thanks to the Wall Street Journal, we have a short sneak peek of what to expect. I love the way Pixar is constantly experimenting with…

The question all of us undoubtedly ask when hearing about a new Sylvester Stallone or Arnold Schwarzenegger project is whether they are too old to be action heroes anymore. Though both appeared in 'The Expendables…

As 2012 winds down, we begin to look forward to the slate of films for 2013. Of those releases, one of the earliest, and one I am particularly stoked for, is Kathryn Bigelow's 'Zero Dark Thirty,' which centers on the Navy SEAL team that took down Osama bin Laden. The film boasts an epic cast including…

Peter Jackson's 'The Hobbit' has enjoyed a parade of promotional material up to this point, but an entire scene from the movie? I don't think we've gotten one of those yet. This new clip may be short, but its importance cannot be overlooked. It is the moment in which…

I've gone back and forth on the new 'Texas Chainsaw 3D.' The part of me that doesn't hate horror remakes remains optimistic, but the part of me that keeps being forced to look at all the marketing material can't help but feel a sense of impending doom. This latest clip is not helping. I like that it's the first real clip of Leatherface on a rampage, but the overly slick…

With every new clip I see for Peter Ramsey's 'Rise of the Guardians,' I  go back and forth on whether or not I'm excited about it. On the one hand, conceptually it sounds great. All the childhood legends coming together to fight evil? Santa fighting alongside the Easter…

Glossing over the fact that Universal missed a major pun opportunity by not calling their upcoming 'Despicable Me' sequel 'Despicable Me Too,'the first teaser trailer for the film has just landed on line. What I like about it is that it plays like its own short film starring the minions. I don't know how much of the footage from the teaser will end up in the movie, as it seems so geared…

We are so close to the release of Disney's 'Wreck-It Ralph,' and I couldn't be more excited. This loving tribute to gaming, both contemporary and classic, is shaping up to be a major win. This new clip has just surfaced highlighting the reluctant partnership between Ralph (John C. Reilly) and…

Steven Spielberg is one of the greatest filmmakers of this or any generation. His films have touched so many fans of many different ages and have been vital to the development of movie geeks the world over. I proudly count myself in that group, and one of the most important films of my childhood was his…

As pumped as I am for Sam Mendes' 'Skyfall,' I feel like the marketing has officially reached critical mass. The trailers and clips are so prevalent and, in some cases, lengthy that I'm starting to feel like I've seen everything the movie has to offer. It is for this reason that I have abstained from watching this latest…

When the first trailer for Disney's 'Wreck-It Ralph' hit the web, one of the things that had me immediately on board was the appearance of several classic videogame characters, including a room full of gaming baddies. This latest clip from the movie, starring John C. Reillyas a not-so-bad videogame bad guy, gives…

J.J. Abrams has developed a reputation for being very protective of his movies prior to their release. On 'Star Trek Into Darkness,' he went so far as to construct metal enclosures to keep prying eyes from observing his production. True, a few set photos leaked out anyway, but Abrams clearly wants the audience…
