Here’s The Trailer For The Danish Girl!

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Here’s the trailer for The Danish Girl, a film that everyone is expecting to be a major Oscar contender.

They’re saying that Eddie Redmayne might be the first actor since Tom Hanks to win two consecutive awards for best actor.

(By they, of course, I mean my next door neighbor and the cashier who took my money at Victoria’s Secret this weekend.  Seriously, they are Oscar crazy!)

Plus, Alicia Vikander is in it.  She’s in like a 100 films this year.  (You may have seen her in Ex Machina and if you didn’t, you missed a great film.)  She will definitely be nominated for something.  It’s just a question of what.  If The Danish Girl is a big Oscar contender, it could very will be the film that gets her a nomination.

Here’s The Trailer for MacBeth!

Hey, did anyone else ever do high school theater and get violently admonished for loudly yelling “MacBeth!” while wandering around backstage in her underwear?  Or was that just me?

Anyway, here’s the first U.S. trailer for the upcoming Shakespeare adaptation, MacBeth!  This version stars Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard and, judging from the trailer, it certainly looks dark and gloomy.

Watch it below!

 

Here’s The Teaser for Carol!

Here’s the teaser for the upcoming film, Carol!

Carol, which is based on a Patricia Highsmith novel and stars Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara, was widely acclaimed at Cannes and it’s expected to be a major Oscar contender.

(Yes, that’s right — Rooney might finally get an Oscar nomination that she actually deserves, as opposed to the nomination she got for David Fincher’s insulting bastardization of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.)

This teaser looks pretty good.  The only thing that concerns me is that director Todd Haynes may have be acclaimed by some critics but I’m Not There was a mess that featured a handful of good scenes and a general sense of incoherent pretension.  And his version of Mildred Pierce was a total travesty, which was mostly rewarded for what it should have been as opposed to what it actually was.

So, Carol could be brilliant.  Or it could be totally overrated.  I look forward to finding out!

Trailer: Let Me Make You A Martyr

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Here’s the trailer for Let Me Make You A Martyr, an upcoming crime film that has been getting a lot of attention because it features Marilyn Manson as a hit man.

I’m not sure how I feel about this trailer.  I like the visual atmosphere and it’s look like the film uses Manson to good effect.  At the same time, that droning voice over gets on my nerves.

I’ll be looking forward to discovering whether Let Me Make You A Martyr is another Cold In July or another Paperboy.

Trailer: Goodnight Mommy

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

So, what does everyone think of the trailer for Goodnight, Mommy?  For the past few months, people have been hyping this movie as one of the scariest movies ever made.  The trailer certainly has its moments, nicely mixing obvious scares with moments of deep unease and ominous atmosphere.  This is one movie that I will definitely be seeing as soon as it opens in theaters.

And Here’s The Trailer For The 33

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

The 33 is an upcoming film about the 2010 Chilean mine accident.  For those who may have somehow forgotten, 33 Chilean miners were trapped underground for 69 days.  For those 69 days, the entire world was watching Chile and, when the miners were finally rescued, we were all briefly united in our happiness.

(Needless to say, that didn’t last long.)

Personally, I like the trailer for The 33 but I do kind of wish that the film’s producers had just had the guts to have everyone in the film speak Spanish, as opposed to going the heavily accented English route.

Here’s The Trailer for Spotlight

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Here’s the trailer for the upcoming film, Spotlight.  Spotlight is obviously being set up to be a potential Oscar contender but, to be honest, I have a feeling it’s going to be one of those “well-intentioned” misfires that will be familiar to anyone who follows the ups and downs of the annual Oscar race.

(Remember when everyone thought that Unbroken was going to win it all?)

That said, some would argue that Michael Keaton is owed an Oscar to make up for losing to Eddie Redmayne earlier this year.
