Twilight’s sequel New Moon has set box office history by breaking all records for midnight runs, earning a monstrous $26.3 million as the movie played in 3,514 theaters at 12:01 a.m. Friday.
Thus, New Moon undoubtedly beat the $22.2 million collected by Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince this summer.
Check out Steve Anderson’s review!
Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief is looking good. I like the special effects and it seems the characters play well off each other well. I like Pierce Brosnan’s character. I am not sure who he is, but it’s a stretch for Brosnan and he does a good job.
Well, folks…bad news. Terrible news in point of fact.
Apparently, Herr Doktor Uwe Boll hasn’t had enough of destroying video game to movie translations yet, because he’s somehow gotten access to the Far Cry series.
A trailer has emerged, and man, is it a doozy. It has all the hallmarks of a Herr Doktor film–halfassed plot, weak dialogue, and lots of explosions. The trailer doesn’t look too bad, but I’ve seen enough decent trailers built out of horrendous movies. Naturally I’ll reserve judgment until the actual product emerges, but you’ll excuse my skepticism.
This IS, after all, Herr Doktor we’re talking about here. Seriously, does the guy have any GOOD movies to his credit? Sure, Postal was a riot but even that was still pretty weak. It’s hard to imagine a Boll movie going over well at all.
And of course, we have the trailer right here for you, so settle in and enjoy this newest wreckage in the making.
The movie follows a troubled teenager (Miley Cyrus), and her estranged father (Greg Kinnear), as they reconnect with one another through music during a summer in a quiet Southern beach town.
Kelly Preston and Liam Hemsworth also star in the film. The Last Song is Sparks’ first screenplay to be brought to film as well as Julie Anne Robinson’s feature film directorial debut.
I like the feel of the trailer and the acting lookssuperb! You can’t go wrong with Kinnear and Preston.
Crazy Heart looks good, pure Jeff Bridges at his best.
Crazy Heart is written and directed by Scott Cooper as his directorial debut. The movie stars Jeff Bridges, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Robert Duvall.
Four-time Academy Award nominee Jeff Bridges stars as the richly comic, semi-tragic romantic anti-hero Bad Blake. He is a broken-down, hard-living country music singer who’s had way too many marriages, far too many years on the road and one too many drinks way too many times.
And yet, Bad can’t help but reach for salvation with the help of Jean (Golden Globe nominee Maggie Gyllenhaal), a journalist who discovers the real man behind the musician. As he struggles down the road of redemption, Bad learns the hard way just how tough life can be on one man’s crazy heart.
Nine is looking molto buono!
Kate Hudson can belt out a song! She is very talented and brings the house down. I find this trailer an extraordinary display of using film to create a story with color to black and white and back to color, and the sharp cuts of all the women in Guido Contini’s life. Spettacolare movie!
We watch Daniel Day-Lewis, who looks so much like Contini, as his world comes crumbling down after crisis, after crisis, balancing all these women in his life.
Ed Norton plays twins. One is an Ivy League professor who is lured back to his Oklahoma hometown, where the other twin, a small-time marijuana grower, has set up a simple scheme to take down a local drug lord. Leaves of Grass is written and directed by felllow actor Tim Blake Nelson who also acts in this film.
Enjoy this early promo trailer while the film hasn’t sold yet. The trailer is funny and offers a feel for the film and what to expect. Richard Dreyfus is hilarious in this trailer. See if you can recognize him.
The Map Reader is being billed as a comedy-drama, but leans more toward drama. The story is about Michael (Jordan Selwyn) – a 16-year-old whose passion for maps helps him escape his ordinary life and enjoy a state of isolation from those around him. Yet, three women each play an important part in his life – his single mother Amelia (Rebecca Gibney), a blind 20-year-old called Mary (Bonnie Soper) and Alison (Mikaila Hutchinson), a friend whose ‘grace betrays darker secrets’ of an abusive father.
Filmmaker Harold Brodie is an American living in New Zealand and the idea of a boy who absorbs himself in maps comes from his own captivation as a child. I bring the trailer The Map Reader to Screenhead because it debuted to sell out theatres at the Austin Film Festival and won the Spirit of the Independent award at the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival.
I am excited about this movie, the visuals are breathtaking. I want to swim in the crystal clear water of Pandora!
Even though we see the same type of footage of the movie, without details about the process of operating the Avatar, I am still fascinated. I am curious how the Avatars work and if there are any limitations or dangers while operating one of the Avatars. Whatever the limitations and dangers are will add to the suspense of the story and make it even more thrilling to see.
I can’t wait. This is going to be a great movie.
Harrison Ford is dynamic in this film. It’s obvious why he is a super star, the guy can carry a scene, and he can carry a single frame — no secrets with him. What a great trailer! Keri Russell holds her own, too. I loved her in August Rush and Mission Impossible III. In this trailer, she’s doesn’t miss a beat with all the angst, anger and elation.
