Trailer Trashin’: Visit Old-Time Hollywood in the Coen Brothers’ Hail, Caesar!
Hello again, dear readers. This past week saw the release of Guillermo del Toro’s new horror film Crimson Peak, which I’m very excited about. In the meantime, I’ve got another trailer for a 2016 movie to show you. Now let’s take a look at the first trailer for Hail, Caesar!, the next film from the Coen Brothers. Premise: Eddie Mannix (Josh Brolin) is a Hollywood “fixer” helping the production of t...[Read More]
Trailer Trashin’: James Bond Returns in the Final Spectre Trailer
Hello again, dear readers. We’re now firmly into October, the days are getting shorter, and Halloween is on the way. But there’s still some cool movies coming out this year, including the subject of today’s column. With that, let’s take a look at the latest (and final) trailer for the new James Bond movie, Spectre.

James Bond Returns in New Spectre Trailer
Can we say that Daniel Craig incarnation of James Bond rivals Sean Connery’s at this point, or is that still considered blasphemy? Given that Skyfall (2012) is, at least until the release of Spectre, the most complete and entertaining Bond film ever produced, I wonder if we can’t mention the two actors in the same sentence without feeling the least bit guilty. The new trailer for Spectre does very...[Read More]

Movie Review: Wrath of the Titans
For as long as I can remember, I have loved the films of stop-motion animator Ray Harryhausen. When it was announced in 2009 that the long-discussed remake of Harryhausen’s Clash of the Titans (1981) was finally going to be made, I was curious to see how it turned out. After the remake came out in 2010, I thought that it was a flawed but entertaining popcorn film that had some interesting sp...[Read More]
Movie Review: Coriolanus
Countless works by William Shakespeare have been adapted for the movies since the dawn of cinema. The canonical masterpieces have seen every iteration imaginable – from cartoons to gothic chamber pieces to full-blown five hour epics. These ubiquitous plays are part of the cultural consciousness – the names Hamlet, Macbeth, or Richard III and their tragic fates are known to most, so even if a movie...[Read More]
