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

Here is the first teaser trailer for Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson’s Motion Capture CGI adaptation of the Belgian comic. While fairly popular in Europe, I would say that Tintin is fairly unknown in North America, though Canadians are more likely to recognize the character than Americans, thanks to a Canadian-produced animated series that aired in

Today we have the first trailer for the new remake of the 1985 vampire film Fright Night. I never seen the original Fright Night, but from what I gather, this will be a much more darker film. Colin Farrell takes over the role, played by Chris Sarandon in the original, of a vampire who moves

A decade after Tim Burton’s remake of the 1968 sci-fi classic, a new reboot of Planet of the Apes is scheduled to be released, this time retelling the origin (and using digital apes instead of the previous man-in-suit versions). I am pretty certain that 20th Century Fox is just starting over with this film and that

Here is a humourous trailer for the latest documentary by Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me). The full title of this film is Pom Wonderful Presents The Greatest Movie Ever Sold and that should say everything that needs to be said about what this documentary is about, that is a film that is 100% paid for (and

I just had to say some words about this new trailer for the film based on the classic cartoon. For those of you too young to remember The Smurfs, it was a Hanna-Barbera cartoon from the 1980s the featured tiny happy-go-lucky blue people that lived in mushrooms and avoided the evil wizard Gargamel. It was definitely
