The latest trailer for Guillermo del Toro's 'Pacific Rim' is being referred to as its "official main" trailer. If that's the case, were those first two spectacular previews we got just teasers? I suppose you could easily make that case when compared with this one, which boasts a metric ton of new footage. It's an…

I am so excited for Guillermo del Toro's 'Pacific Rim' I can't stand it. I'm still having trouble wrapping my mind around how the movie was ever greenlit, considering the plot sounds like it was dreamed up by a very hyper four-year-old. The trailers and marketing so far, however, have been tremendously impressive.…

Giant mech suits piloted by humans take on a race of giant alien monsters who rose from the bottom of the sea. That sounds like the plot of a story written by a sugared-up third-grader, certainly a sugared-up third-grade version of myself, but it is indeed the central conceit of Guillermo del Toro's 'Pacific Rim.'…

Rating-(Low)Matinee'   Savages tells the story of a woman and her two boyfriends who run a successful drug business. The cops don't care, and their business really isn't that violent... that is until the Mexican drug cartel shows up and is like "you are going to come work for us, and if you say no we kill you." Naturally the two friends are like "No, fuck you." The cartel retaliates by kidnapping their girlfriend, now they must get her back.   So how did this film…

Rating-Some Ole' Bullsh*t!!   Goddammit! Goddammit! I can't believe I wasted around two hours watching this piece of shit! Why the fuck did Guillermo Del Toro attach his name to this horrendous pile of dog shit! I came in prepared to like the film (I saw this when it was in the theater, keep that in mind) and I was stupid enough to pay ticket price to see this, I should've just snuck in.   The story of Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark is a family that is going through a…

Well that tears it, 'Pacific Rim' is my most anticipated film of 2013. I've been psyched for it ever since hearing the central conceit, and the fact that Guillermo del Toro is directing, but the trailers have really been amazing.

Aliens versus giant robots. I'm going to repeat this: aliens versus giant robots. Guillermo del Toro's 'Pacific Rim' has been high on my list of most anticipated of 2013 ever since that glorious premise was first revealed.

When we receive news that a company like, say, Marvel is planning the next installment for one of their tentpole superhero characters before the latest has even been released, no one really bats an eye. The built-in audience and miles and miles of established story canon provides plenty of logic to this…

Time and time again, the we remark on the bizarre nature of internet speculation. There tend to be three possible fates for an online movie-related rumor: it can be confirmed, it can be ruled out as completely unfounded conjecture, or it can refer to something true that then falls apart before it is realized.…

A few months ago, I watched a three-minute Spanish short film called 'Mama.' It was intense and creepy as all get out, and I remembered hearing something about it being picked up for production as a feature-length film. Well today we've got the first trailer for the feature 'Mama' starring …
