‘Alexander And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day’ Trailer By Germain Lussier/May 8, 2014 10:09 am EST Steve Carell and Jennifer Garner could potentially be the perfect parents. And in Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, they appear to be. That is, until, their family has what is easily the worst day imaginable. Based on the classic kids book by Judith Viorst, the Disney adaptation is directed by indie filmmaker Miguel Arteta (The Good Girl, Cedar Rapids, Youth in Revolt) and opens in October....

Cotrona and Zane Holtz as criminal brothers Seth and Richie Gecko, who run across vampires such as the one above, played by Eiza Gonzalez....

‘G.I. Joe Retaliation’ International Trailer #2 By Germain Lussier/Nov. 1, 2012 12:30 pm EST In an alternate timeline where Jon M. Chu’s G.I. Joe Retaliation wasn’t delayed to get a 3D overhaul, it would probably already be on Blu-ray. As it stands, though, the director is still working on making the conversion worth the wait. Audiences are about five months out from finally seeing some fulfillment of the action-packed promise we got when the first trailer was released in April....

As expected, many of these are films that have picked up plenty of accolades already. It’ll surprise no one to see that Zero Dark Thirty, Moonrise Kingdom, and Lincoln are among the contenders....

‘Percy Jackson: Sea Of Monsters’ Trailer: Nathan Fillion Has Some Helpful Advice By Russ Fischer/May 29, 2013 1:17 pm EST This second trailer for Thor Freudenthal’s Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters features a cavalcade of beasties, and also a significant presence from Nathan Fillion, who plays a modernized version of the god Hermes. That’s probably enough to warrant a look from many potential audience members. Those elements were present in the first trailer, along with plenty of material featuring returning cast (Logan Lerman, Brandon T Jackson, and Alexandra Daddario)....

‘Sweetwater’ Trailer: January Jones Targets People Rather Than Birds By Russ Fischer/July 9, 2013 1:30 pm EST If your favorite January Jones moment from any given season of Mad Men was the bit when Betty took aim at a neighbor’s pigeons, this trailer for Sweetwater will probably earn a grin. The film features Jones as a widowed woman who goes on a violent spree of revenge killings. That seems to be the deal, at least; honestly the trailer focuses more on the violence than the plot....

It’s on almost every second and it’s convincing enough that, for a moment, you think you’re watching a scene from the Michel Gondry movie. Right up until The Green Hornet asks Kato to split some chicken tenders, of course....

By Angie Han/July 26, 2013 12:30 pm EST It’ll also feature something called The Dream Parade, which brings together all of the characters and titles from throughout the park in an animatronic march. Scrat and Predator, (possibly) rubbing shoulders — imagine that. It’ll be just like Comic Con. All of this will be part of Resorts World Genting, an existing theme park located about an hour outside of Kuala Lumpur. That destination has been operated by Genting for the past 35 years, and received around 20 million visitors last year....

Is Netflix’s Full Season Release Strategy A Smart Business Model? By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 4, 2013 10:00 am EST I understand it, and I get why Netflix thinks this is the way things should be. Netflix has ton of television programing available, and their users binge watch seasons in the matter of days. They have the stats to prove this. Why change whats been working for them? Why not challenge the status quo of releasing an episode a week with an original series?...

Kristen Wiig Could Be A Comedic Foil In ‘Anchorman: The Legend Continues’ By Germain Lussier/Dec. 5, 2012 6:23 pm EST Even if only its principal actors returned, Anchorman: The Legend Continues has an incredibly star-studded cast. Three members of The News Team are legitimate above the title stars: Will Ferrell, Steve Carell and Paul Rudd. The others, David Koechner and Christina Applegate, are no slouches themselves. But when co-writer and director Adam McKay promised a “murder’s row of day players” in the film, the mind began to race and now the first name may have been revealed....

LOL: Disney’s ‘Warplanes’ By Germain Lussier/Oct. 23, 2013 1:00 pm EST When Disney realized the potential behind the world of Cars, we got Cars 2 and this summer’s spin-off Planes. Next summer even brings a sequel Planes: Fire and Rescue. But where can it go from there? The team at Gritty Reboots on YouTube have an idea. It’s called Warplanes, and the video is as sick and twisted as it is funny....
