‘A Good Day To Die Hard’ Theatrical Trailer: John McClane Makes “An Even Bigger Mess Of Things” By Germain Lussier/Oct. 25, 2012 11:09 am EST The more we see from John Moore’s A Good Day To Die Hard, the better it looks. We recently got a glimpse at the kinetic teaser trailer and now, in the second trailer, the story begins to slowly reveal itself with even more explosions, more gun fire and the first interactions between John McClane (Bruce Willis) and his son Jack, played by Jai Courtney....

‘American Horror Story’ Moves Into 1950 For Fourth Season By Germain Lussier/Jan. 16, 2014 11:00 am EST While some actors carry through multiple seasons, and there’s always a general tone of “batshit crazy,” American Horror Story has never been quite definable. It has used a haunted house, an asylum and witches so far, making variety a notable trait of the show. That’ll continue into the fourth season. Co-creator Ryan Murphy recently revealed the fourth season of the series would be another period piece set in the year 1950....

‘An Inconvenient Truth’ Sequel May Be Coming By Angie Han/April 2, 2014 1:45 pm EST An Inconvenient Truth made quite an impact when it hit in 2006, but it wasn’t enough. The issue of climate change is still far from resolved. Worse, it’s a problem that not everyone is even willing to admit exists — plenty of people still refuse to believe global warming is happening at all, experts be damned....

‘Hell Baby’ Red-Band Trailer: Sex, Drugs, And Ancient Exorcism Rituals By Angie Han/July 12, 2013 8:00 am EST R-rated jokes can be a good tool for a comedy filmmaker to have in their arsenal. There are some gags that simply don’t work when they’re toned down to satisfy the MPAA. But that doesn’t mean ruder, cruder, and lewder necessarily translates to funnier. A limp comedy is still a limp comedy, no matter how many bare butts, dick jokes, and blood splatters you toss in there....

‘Her’ Trailer: This Is What A Spike Jonze Romance Looks Like By Russ Fischer/Aug. 7, 2013 9:07 am EST There have been short films and music videos, but it has been four years since Spike Jonze’s last feature film, Where the Wild Things Are. Now the director is back with his fourth feature, Her, which features Joaquin Phoenix as a guy who falls for a piece of software. Since the software in question is voiced by Scarlett Johansson maybe that’s not much of a surprise....

‘Nymphomaniac: Part Two’ Trailer: That Burning Sensation By Russ Fischer/Jan. 29, 2014 8:00 am EST There’s no nudity in this new international trailer for Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac: Part Two, so technically the thing is safe for work. But this is still Trier, and Nymphomaniac, so there’s some weirdness in the new footage. (How about a little bondage for your mid-week morning?) There’s also a pretty good use of ‘Burning Down the House’ by the Talking Heads, which might be reason enough to check out this edit....

‘Pride And Prejudice And Zombies’ Rises From The Grave By Russ Fischer/March 1, 2013 12:45 pm EST Between 2009 and 2011, LionsGate was trying to assemble a film based on Seth Grahame-Smith’s breakout novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. The text took Jane Austin’s original novel — which is in the public domain — and added zombies, just as the title suggests. Three directors (David O. Russell then Mike White and then Craig Gillespie) have all flirted with the film and ultimately walked away....

‘The Other Woman’ Trailer: Kate Upton, Cameron Diaz, And Leslie Mann Vs. Jaime Lannister By Angie Han/Dec. 19, 2013 12:28 pm EST Facing the vengeance of not one, not two, but three women scorned would probably be pretty rough on most men. But after everything Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has been through as Jaime Lannister on this past season of Game of Thrones, some hormonal sabotage, a bit of professional betrayal, and a swift kick to the balls should seem like a walk in the park....

‘Welcome To The Punch’ Trailer: Allegiances Shift As Bullets Fly By Russ Fischer/Dec. 11, 2012 12:33 pm EST If you’ve hungered for a crime film with the particular flavor that the UK can provide, Welcome to the Punch might be your movie. From writer/director Eran Creevy (Shifty), the film casts James McAvoy and Mark Strong as a cop and criminal at odds with one another. Strong is the untouchable underworld figure, and McAvoy is the detective who doggedly trails him....

By Germain Lussier/Sept. 24, 2014 7:00 am EST Mashable wrote about the AT&T HBO Go bundle, which you can read about in detail on AT&T’s website. It’s only available in select areas and the $39 per month is just for the first year. From there it goes to “standard rates” which you can assume are exponentially higher. There’s also a $99 installation fee. Still, this is a great option for chord cutters....

Bran And Hodor Will Sit Out ‘Game Of Thrones’ Season 5 By Angie Han/Sept. 3, 2014 2:15 pm EST (That last part isn’t a joke, by the way. Nairn is a DJ who’s been touring the world throwing Game of Thrones-themed dance parties, complete with an Iron Throne replica. Rave of Thrones is currently making its way through Australia, and makes its fist stop in America this fall.) The news is disappointing but not entirely surprising....

The Bottleneck Gallery in Brooklyn, NY is currently exhibiting a show called Where Is My Mind? which is filled with art based on psychologically complex films. What does that mean? Well the show’s title gives one example: Fight Club....
