I’m not a fan of directors like Brett Ratner. You may have a gift in appealing to a certain audience base but don’t bumble around using established lore. Comic stories, especially iconic Marvel and DC storylines, are what the old Greek myths were millenia ago.
Emma (Ashley Benson), a graduate student living alone in NYC, is being watched by a stalker who hacks into the technology that surrounds her – laptop, cell phone, and other web connected devices. This obsession continues to grow as the hacker records Emma’s most intimate moments. When the thrill of watching isn’t enough, the situation escalates to a dangerous and terrifying level.
It’s no longer your dad’s Star Trek, or even mine. The Next Generation was awesome and we’ll probably never get anything like it again. Instead, welcome to the trailer for Star Trek:
Coming soon is the story of aid workers and their involvement in fixing a crisis centered around an armed conflict zone. It’s difficult to explain the film’s gravitas or lack thereof but it tries to be akin to the old MASH TV series. When dealing with difficult situations, you might assume people take a somber or serious attitude to cope, but what if you’re constantly surrounded by events and situations involving death and heartbreak such as wars?
The Girl in the Book tells the story of a young book editor in the world of New York publishing. Played by Emily VanCamp (whom I primarily know from the delicious soap opera-like Revenge), Alice has to confront the dark pages of her past when she is assigned to work with a best-selling author who she knows from when she was young. The author, played by Michael Nyqvist seems to have a particular interest in teenage girls, so I think we can guess what must have happened to Alice in the past.
Reese Donahue (Jessica Rothe), an aspiring writer, leads a seemingly ideal life, with a bright future ahead of her. One day, she finds out her mother left her 10 million dollars, but her father kept it from her. She’s faced with a dilemma – she feels betrayed and alone, and is going to have to decide whether or not to take what her mother wanted for her.
Anomalisa is the upcoming film by screenwriter-turned-director Charlie Kaufman, who is famous for writing scripts for great (and quirky) movies such as Being John Malkovich and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Anomalisa is, interestingly enough, a stop-motion film. It tells the story of Michael Stone, who writes books about costumer service, and struggles with his inability to connect to people.
This is the trailer for Jonás Cuarón’s first feature length film, Desierto. Brother of Alfonso Cuarón, Jonás was Alfonso’s co-writer for Gravity, as well as for Alfonso’s upcoming project, A Boy and His Shoe. In Desierto, a handful Mexican migrant workers are hoping to find a better life in the United States.
Shot in stunning 16mm over the course of seven years in Afghanistan, The Land of the Enlightened is the first feature of Belgian documentary maker and photographer Pieter-Jan De Pue, which combines a cinema vérité portrait of a nation and its young people with the magic-reality of their dreams. In the vast mountain region of the northern Wakhan Corridor (“The Roof of the World”), a gang of nomadic children raid caravans and trade scavenged Soviet land mines, raw lapis lazuli and black opium for food and fuel. Possessing a talent for improvisation and an inexhaustible eagerness to learn, they navigate a harsh reality as U.
Oh, woe was us when the Harry Potter series finally finished… Little was sadder than those final scenes of the 8th movie, where you knew that this time the ending was final. With the books all long finished even before the movies and Pottermore being sadly unsatisfying for anyone over 12 years old, the Harry Potter universe had truly come to an end.
You will not…hold sway over me again…Rebel Wilson! Alright, there’s a certain pleasure in watching a Sacha Baron Cohen movie only because it mixes in the absurd in a world that doesn’t realize that it is absurd. Spies don’t usually do stunts but any football (soccer to Americans) fan knows about the levels of trouble a dedicated hooligan gets into during the season.
As a woman is jogging over a pier, she sees a man drowning in the sea. She doesn’t hesitate and jumps in right after him, and saves him from certain death. He survives, and they connect over what happened – and they find they are connected in a more supernatural manner, as well.
There’s some good news and bad news. Bad news is that the Turtles are still huge slabs of ugly and April O’ Neil is still objectified. Good news is that Tyler Perry is not currently Madea.
Another trailer with Sam L. Jackson in it! Anyway, the buff and often shirtless Tarzan returns to the jungle.
Sometimes, you just hate yourself for doing something you know is bad. In this case, it’s watching an Adam Sandler flick again. Drawing on the gimmick of an adjective and a number, The Ridiculous 6 follows the exploits of an outlaw, raised by Native Americans, who discovers he has five half-brothers.
