Teaser: Nightcrawler
I have to admit that I don’t know much about Nightcrawler but I do like this trailer. If nothing else, it seems to promise a wonderfully manic performance from Jake Gyllenhaal. Add to that, I love the music playing the background.
Here’s the 2nd Trailer for If I Stay!
In the future, I think 2014 will be remembered as a good year for those of us who like to cry at the movies. And, as evidence to help prove my point, here’s the 2nd trailer for If I Stay, the upcoming adaptation of Gayle Forman’s excellent and emotional 2009 novel. This film, directed by R.J. Cutler and starring Chloe Grace Moretz, will be opening on August 22nd.
Trailer: Fifty Shades of Grey
A few months ago, I was talking to an online acquaintance when I made the mistake of referring to Fifty Shades of Grey as being “Fifty Shades of Fanfic.” I thought I was making a perfectly valid point because, as we all know, the book started out as a piece of Twilight fanfic and, even more importantly, it reads like really bad (albeit sexy) fanfic. The person I was talking to however … Oh. My. God. You would have thought that I had just said the worst, most inflammatory thing in the history of offensive statements. Before I knew it, I had been blocked on twitter and unfriended on Facebook, which I have to admit really upset me because her unfriending me left me with an odd number of Facebook friends and, as our regular readers know, Lisa doesn’t do odd numbers.
But anyway, my point is that Fifty Shades of Grey may not have been great literature but a lot of people feel very strongly about it. And even those of us who may view dismissively the book’s prose will probably still end up seeing the movie when it’s released next year.
Below, you’ll find the first trailer for Fifty Shades of Grey, which promises the audience a very hot Valentine’s Day in 2015. In short, this trailer follows in the proud tradition set by the trailer for Endless Love.
Trailer: The Imitation Game
Benedict Cumberbatch seems like one of those actors who is destined to eventually get at least one or two Oscar nominations over the course of his career. Last year, a lot of people thought he might end up getting nominated for The Fifth Estate but then the film came out and promptly bombed. In 12 Years A Slave, his supporting performance was overshadowed by Michael Fassbender’s more traditionally villainous turn. If they awarded an Oscar for voice over work (and they really should), then Cumberbatch would have probably picked up the award for bringing Smaug to life in The Hobbit.
So, Cumberbatch still awaits his first nomination but he might not have to wait too much longer. In the upcoming Imitation Game, Cumberbatch plays Alan Turing, who was responsible for cracking Germany’s secret code during World War II. After the war, Turing was prosecuted under the UK’s anti-gay laws. This is one of those true stores that would seem to be the right film at the right time to be a potential Oscar contender.
A trailer — which focuses on Turing’s work during World War II and only hints at the persecution that would define the rest of his life — was released earlier today. And you can watch it below!
Let’s Play Catch Up With The Trailer for Exodus: Gods and Kings
Here’s another trailer that came out while I was busy Embracing the Melodrama. I’m not really sure how I feel about Exodus: Gods and Kings. The trailer looks good and epic and all that but what’s the deal with all of the”sword and sandal” films coming out this year? Not only do we have two Hercules films, Pompeii, and the 300 sequel, we also had Noah and now we’ve got Exodus coming out. Last year, we saw a spate of end-of-the-world films. This year, we’re seeing films that are meant take place at the beginning of the world. Anything to avoid dealing with present, I suppose.
Incidentally, I still say that Ridley Scott’s previous film, The Counselor, was far better than most people realize.
Here’s the 1st Trailer for Wild!
I’ve been so busy, over the past two weeks, with Embracing the Melodrama that I didn’t get a chance to share with you the trailer for one of the films that I am most anticipating seeing this year: Jean-Marc Vallee’s Wild!
Here it is, only six days late…
Trailer: Life After Beth
It’s yet another zombie film! Over on the A.V. Club, someone commented that this film would “at least be better than Warm Bodies.” I don’t know — Warm Bodies was pretty damn good.
Life After Beth opens on August 15th.
And now… a word from President Snow…
Don’t blame me, I didn’t vote for him…
Incidentally, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part One will be released on November 21st.
Here’s The Trailer for James Gandolfini’s Final Film
Earlier this year, I was one of my many people to be surprised by the fact that James Gandolfini did not receive a posthumous Oscar nomination for his performance in Enough Said. After all, Gandolfini was a talented and popular actor who died far too early and his performance in Enough Said showed that he was capable of playing a lot more than just Tony Soprano or other gangster types in films like Killing Them Softly.
Judging from this recently released trailer, The Drop will features Gandolfini in the type of role that he was best known for. Along with Gandolfini, The Drop features Tom Hardy and the only girl with the dragon tattoo who matters, Noomi Rapace. Perhaps best of all, it was written by Dennis Lehane, whose books have inspired superior crime films like Mystic River, Shutter Island, and Gone, Baby, Gone.
