TRUE GRIT and 127 HOURS look amazing

Oct 12 2010 Published by under Film

So I just got my bandwidth reset for the next month after having maxed it out about 3 weeks ago.  The first thing I did was have a look at some trailers that came out while I had my connection shaped to dial-up speed.  Of the bunch of trailers I watched True Grit and 127 Hours really stood out.  Holy crap do they look like impressive films.

I already knew I was gonna see 127 Hours because of Danny Boyle and the pretty damn great James Franco.  But I didn’t really know what to expect of the film.  I think the trailer does a good job of conveying the tone of the film.  My feeling is that it’s kinda like Into The Wild, which is a good thing because Into The Wild is one of my top 10 films ever.

True Grit on the other hand is a definite surprise.  I’m not a fan of the Coen brothers at all, and I’d even go so far as to say that they’re vastly overrated.  That being said, True Grit really does look amazing.  Chalk that up to Jeff Bridges, and to a lesser extent Matt Damon and Josh Brolin.

Anyway, check out the trailers for both True Grit and 127 Hours below.

The international trailer for WALL STREET: MONEY NEVER SLEEPS is better

Feb 19 2010 Published by under Film

Well this is a little more like it.  The first trailer for Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps had far too much Shia and not enough Gecko.  This international trailer fixes that to a good degree plus we get to see Carey Mulligan too.  I’m still not completely sold on the film, but Michael Douglas and Josh Brolin are enough to convince me to give it a shot.

The Rolling Stones also make a rather prominent appearance on the soundtrack.  That must have bumped up the production cost at least a few million dollars.

New poster for JONAH HEX

Jul 24 2009 Published by under Film

Fresh out of Comic Con comes the new poster for Jonah Hex.

The film tells the story of scarred bounty hunter who tracks a voodoo practitioner bent on liberating the South by raising an army of the undead.  It stars Josh Brolin, Megan Fox, Will Arnett and John Malkovich.

I’m a massive fan of Will Arnett and Megan Fox is probably the hottest chick on the planet right now, so that means I’m gonna be in line when this opens some time in August next year.
