Will Ferrell goes español in this new Western spoof. I took one look at this trailer and I instantly thought “what the hell?” Who would have thought that Will Ferrell can speak Spanish or that he would go as far and star in an entirely Spanish-language Western-Comedy. The film looks to be both a spoof […]

Well it’s time for the third anticipated trailer of the week. This is for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, a film meant as a prequel of sorts for the Alien series. It’s also interesting in how this is one of the few films to have teaser trailers for the teaser trailer (also talked about). Throughout the week, we

In the second highly-anticipated film trailer of the week (there will be at least three), we get our first look at the first of two films based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Ring’s predecessor The Hobbit, once again directed by Peter Jackson. Even though the Lord of the Rings films are only a decade old, this trailer definitely

In addition to the six minute preview shown in IMAX theatres with Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, there is also a new proper trailer for The Dark Knight Rises (which I actually saw in theatres before Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows). The tagline for The Dark Knight Rises is “The Legend Ends,” which is very apparent

In what’s shaping up to be the next big book adaptation, here is the trailer for The Hunger Games. I guess I will start off by stating the obvious. When I hear the plot summary for The Hunger Games (a bunch of teens being gathered together for a battle to the death), I immediately think of

I’ve been meaning to talk about this trailer for a few days now. This is an extended (nearly four minutes long) trailer for David Fincher’s English-language adaptation of the popular novel by Stieg Larsson. As I became more used to foreign-language films, I started to become increasingly frustrated at the apparent need for a US-produced English-language

Now that I have confirmed all the films that I plan to see this year at TIFF, I decided to create a YouTube playlist for various trailers and clips from the films I am seeing. Most of these were readily available on the official TIFF channel, though some I had to do a little extra

The first trailer is now out for the third film in the stoner comedy series. This time with a Christmas theme (and it’s in 3D). I have to say that I found the previous two Harold and Kumar films funny enough that I would be interested in seeing a third film. The fact that the film

Two trailers in a week? Here is the second teaser for The Muppets, which is entitled The Fuzzy Pack. While the first trailer released last week (which I later learned was entitled Green with Envy) was meant as a parody of romantic comedy trailers, this second trailer is meant to spoof the teaser trailer for

Today I will look at the first trailer for the new Muppet film, simply called The Muppets. This is a perfect example of a bait-and-switch trailer. Over half of the trailer is edited to make the film look like some generic romantic comedy starring Jason Segel and Amy Adams. It isn`t really until Kermet the
