Entre lo que se acerca dentro del mundo del cine, encontramos que Jim Jarmusch tiene una nueva producción llamada Only Lovers Left Alive , en la que actúan Tilda Swinton y Tom Hiddleston . El trailer oficial de Pacific Rum de Guillermo del Toro se estrenó está semana. Y la película acerca del artista y pianista Liberace realizada por [...]
![[Trailer] The Hangover Part III](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4956641_lg.jpg)
The Hangover was a surprisingly funny film. I have a tendency to carry a high bar when it comes to comedy films, and while it didn't quite meet it, it still warranted a few laughs. However, I haven't had a chance to catch The Hangover Part II , but from what I've heard from fellow film critics, it was more of the same. To complete a full trilogy, director Todd Phillips and the ensemble cast of Bradley Cooper, Ken Jeong, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha, and Ed Helms return for the final installment. Joined by newcomer John Goodman, [...]

Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Entertainment have debuted the full trailer for Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim. Opening in 3D, 2D and IMAX theaters on July 12, Pacific Rim stars Charlie Hunnam, Charlie Day, Ron Perlman, Robert Kazinsky, Max Martini, Clifton Collins, Jr., Burn Gorman, Larry Joe Campbell, Brad William Henke and Diego Klattenhoff. When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive [...]

"The Heming Way" author, Internet addict and all-around good guy Marty Beckerman has spent the last few months longing for the past in ways that, perhaps, Joel Stein's millennials may not understand. Myself, not a day goes by that I don't wish my Twitter feed was polluted with comments about "The Larry Sanders Show" and "Tales from the Crypt" instead of "Veep" and "The Walking Dead." But maybe a perfectly mobile thirty-something such as myself doesn't have a right to wax nostalgic (versus, say, a septuagenarian invalid who has nothing but the past to enjoy because [...]

From above the world of “Cars” comes “ Disney’s Planes ,” an action-packed 3D animated comedy adventure featuring Dusty (voice of Dane Cook), a plane with dreams of competing as a high-flying air racer. But Dusty’s not exactly built for racing—and he happens to be afraid of heights. So he turns to a seasoned naval aviator who helps Dusty qualify to take on the defending champ of the race circuit. Dusty’s courage is put to the ultimate test as he aims to reach heights he never dreamed possible, giving a spellbound world the inspiration to soar. [...]
![[Trailer 2] Pacific Rim](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4955044_lg.jpg)
Following the WonderCon trailer for Pacific Rim is this first official trailer for the film. Featuring so much new footage, the new trailer includes some back story to how the kaiju appeared and why the Jaegers were built to combat them. Fortunately, not too much of the story is spoiled in this trailer; balanced into the narrative context are, you guessed it, new scenes of giant mechas fighting giant monsters. Really, what more could you ask for in a movie? The Guillermo del Toro-led Pacific Rim is fast approaching in less than two months, [...]

Franz Ferdinand have finally announced a new album: Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action . That's the album art above. It will come out via Domino on August 27. It's mind boggling to think that this is their first album since 20092s Tonight. They spent the last year recording the album in frontman Alex Kapranos' Scottish Studio, and Nick McCarthy's Sausage Studios in London. Kapranos gave us this when asked for a quote: The Intellect Vs The Soul, played out by some dumb band. Awesome. [...]
![[Trailer] V/H/S/2](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4954478_lg.jpg)
As some of those familiar with my alter-ego know, I'm not a fan of horror movies at all . I get too anxious and nervous when facing suspense and gore. The first V/H/S , which you can catch on Netflix Instant, was a fan favorite in 2012 film festivals. The premise of the two films revolve around the discovery of VHS cassettes that depict ridiculously gruesome stuff. More importantly, each cassette serves as a short film/vignette directed by a large number of directors. Its sequel, V/H/S/2 (formerly known as S-VHS , but changed because not too [...]
Cast : Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy Director : Richard Linklater Release Date : May 24th, 2013 (Limited release: NYC, L.A. and Austin) Synopsis : We meet Jesse and Celine nine years on in Greece. Almost two decades have passed since their first meeting on that train bound for Vienna. I am but a week away (in New York City) from seeing [...]
![[Trailer] Riddick](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4953067_lg.jpg)
It's been almost a decade since the last Chronicles of Riddick film (and five years since Vin Diesel has played a character not named Dom Toretto), but coming this fall, Diesel is set to don the goggles again with the third film in the franchise, Riddick . Written/directed by franchise director David Twohy, the film finds Riddick's power increasing and using them against bounty hunters sent to kill him. Unbeknownst to them, it's all part of the plan. After the success of Fast Five and a remarkable performance in Fast and Furious 6 (review's coming [...]

Ty Segall must never sleep. The guy has announced yet another album, ironically titled Sleeper . It will come out via Drag City on August 20. This is a solo album, not one with his band. Below, watch a trailer that Ty released for the album today featuring a short clip of a new song, probably from the LP.

Since Steven Spielberg pretty much tapped the well dry for WWII movies back in 1998 - well, for the European Theatre at least ("The Thin Red Line" kicks ass) - I would think it'd be a pretty brass decision for any movie mogul to bankroll a straightforward Nazis-get-pwned feature without some huge cocaine wizard name attached. But, apparently, not a fuck was given by the backers of ClinFedor Bondarchuk's $30 million battleground porn "Stalingrad." If the trailer below proves anything, a no-name cast and "Saving Private Ryan" derivative plotline ( IMDb : "The action [...]
![[Trailer] Arrested Development Season 4](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4947127_lg.jpg)
Arrested Development is one of my absolute favorite TV series. With its relentless stream of inside-jokes, witticisms, and cast whose talents are constantly matched AND one-upped with every scene, news of the show's unfair cancellation in 2006 was met with both anger and understanding. The combination of Fox's mishandling of the show by continuously shifting its time slot and the show's inherent necessity to watch each episode in order to understand the jokes and gags proved to be its downfall. However, after a seven year wait, the series is set to return, this time exclusively airing on [...]
Ghost in the Shell is one of those seminal anime films that appeals to people that don't really like anime. The 1995 cyberpunk film dealt with an advanced technological world where people were able to connect into robotic bodies (known as shells) with superhero-like powers on a network similar to the internet. A police assault squad is dispatched to investigate a hacker that has been essentially hacking people's shells. Ghost in the Shell: Arise is the first part of a four part prequel film series that dives into [...]

I've been dying to get a first glimpse of Gravity ever since the movie was in development and there were all kinds of crazy rumors swirling around it, like it would essentially be a single tracking shot in the vein of that famous scene (original doesn't appear to be on YT) from his excellent Children of Men. According to Gravity executive producer Chris DeFaria, the movie “ opens with a continuous 17-minute shot ” that shows everything we see in this trailer. The movie probably won't be one continuous tracking [...]
Trailer: “Gravity” (dir. Alfonso Cuarón ) Director Alfonso Cuarón is famous for using long, unbroken shots in films like Children of Men but he seems to be taking it to the next level with Gravity which is reportedly filled with long shots including a 17-minute opening scene. We’ve been given a first taste with this trailer which looks thrilling, minimalistic and visually breathtaking, though I’m not completely sold yet on Sandra Bullock in the lead role.
![[Trailer] Gravity](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4943172_lg.jpg)
Alfonso Cuaron is one of those directors who, I feel, hasn't really received the proper dues he should from audiences. Sure, Y Tu Mama Tambien won a handful of awards and nominated for an Oscar, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban pushed the Harry Potter film franchise towards a more mature vision (let alone a decidedly creative turn that sometimes clashed with the previous two films in the series), and Children of Men is arguably one of the most underrated sci-fi films to come out of the past decade. Still, Cuaron isn't as well-known as some [...]
A$AP Rocky is famous and this documentary will let you know how he got there. If you ask me, I'd only be interested if we get to see his shenanigans. Anyway, this could be an interesting doc. We'll keep an eye out for you. Video: A$AP ROCKY "SUDDENLY" DOCUMENTARY (TRAILER) |
