It’s apparent that Guy Ritchie created a wildly, raucous movie about Sherlock Holmes.  The mix of suspense, laughter and craziness makes this movie a gem for the holiday season.  Jude Law and Robert Downey, Jr. play brilliantly off each other — a true kinship has formed.

A new trailer for Illumination Entertainment’s 3-D CGI Feature Despicable Me has just debuted online!   

The new Despicable Me trailer doesn’t reveal much about the movie, but it’s worth watching for enjoyment.  The movie includes a wonderful cast including Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Will Arnett, Kristen Wiig, Danny McBride, Miranda Cosgrove, Jack McBrayer, Mindy Kaling, Jemaine Clement and Julie Andrews.    

Movie will be in theaters July 9, 2010!

In a happy suburban neighborhood surrounded by white picket fences with flowering rose bushes, sits a black house with a dead lawn.  Unbeknownst to the neighbors, hidden beneath this home is a vast secret hideout.  Surrounded by a small army of minions, we discover Gru (voiced by Steve Carell), planning the biggest heist in the history of the world.  He is going to steal the moon. 

Gru delights in all things wicked.  Armed with his arsenal of shrink rays, freeze rays, and battle-ready vehicles for land and air, he vanquishes all who stand in his way.  Until the day he encounters the immense will of three little orphaned girls who look at him and see something that no one else has ever seen: a potential Dad. 

The world’s (second) greatest villain has just met his greatest challenge: three little girls named Margo, Edith and Agnes. 

You know what…the trailer doesn’t show any of this story. You can see it at Apple.

 

This is a fun movie and I am sure we will see more trailers on this film.  It’s a good trailer to watch on a Monday after a weekend of Halloween. It put a smile on my face.  Enjoy!

Matt Damon stars in the Green Zone, a blow ‘em up, shoot ‘em up and show ‘em who’s tougher movie. It looks like we have a rogue Army Officer who must catch the bad guy involved in a covert and faulty intelligence hidden on foreign soil before war builds into an unstable region.

 A Cup of Tears is almost like an Irish folk lore in itself, interesting trailer with lots of visuals that seem surreal. The story is about a scorned geisha who creates a magical cup made of tears that causes any man who drinks from it to fall into a permanent sleep. One night the cup is stolen, setting off a chain of events that threatens civil war amongst the clans. Taro, a gifted samurai, sets out to find the cup and one who can break the spell.

Precious opens as a limited release this November. It’s a heartbreaking tale that appearsto be charge with all sorts of emotions.  Bring Kleenex with you if you plan to see the independent film.

This is not a Disney movie; it’s a true, very realistic Chinese movie about Mulan, quite different from the American animated version that had a talking dragon and cute singing Chinese warriors.

Men Who Stare at Goats has some awesome actors and it looks hilarious. I just hope there is an actual story to this mayhem.  Movie opens November 6, 2009.

I like the special effects in the trailer, but wonder if the story will back up the CGI.  It seems the studio is selling the special effects more than the story itself, which is disappointing because I still believe in a good story. All the special effects in the world means nothing unless there is a good story.

In anticipation of this week’s horrific release of Saw VI, Screenhead wanted to give you one last spook before you hit theaters this Friday with a very special Halloween Exclusive Sneak-Peek of Lionsgate’s upcoming thriller, Season of the Witchwhich moments just premiered on IGN!  The sneak-peek is short — but you’ll get creeped-out.

Starring Nicholas Cage, Season of the Witch comes to theaters March 19, 2010! 

Here is the low down of the movie, which looks pretty creepy: 

In the supernatural thriller Season of the Witch, Nicolas Cage stars as a 14th century Crusader who returns with his comrade (Ron Perlman) to a homeland devastated by the Black Plague. A beleaguered church, deeming sorcery the culprit of the plague, commands the two knights to transport an accused witch (Claire Foy) to a remote abbey, where monks will perform a ritual in hopes of ending the epidemic disease.

A priest (Stephen Campbell Moore), a grieving knight (Ulrich Thomsen), an nomadic swindler (Stephen Graham) and a headstrong youth who can only dream of becoming a knight (Robert Sheehan) join a mission troubled by mythically hostile wilderness and fierce contention over the fate of the girl. 

When the embattled party arrives at the abbey, a horrific discovery jeopardizes the knight’s pledge to ensure the girl fair treatment, and matches them against an mysteriously powerful and destructive force.
