Trailer Trashin’: The Mighty Avenger Returns in Thor: The Dark World
Neill Blomkamp’s Elysium opened this past weekend, and while it hasn’t received the near-universal acclaim of its predecessor District 9, by most accounts it is pretty good. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get out to see the movie over the weekend, but I plan to see it sometime this week. This week’s new Trailer Trashin’ column takes another look at one of my most ant...[Read More]
Trailer Trashin’: Thor Drives a Racecar in Rush
Well, I hope everyone had a good Memorial Day weekend and that all of you who wanted to get out to the movies did so and enjoyed yourselves. As I mentioned last time, I finally saw Star Trek Into Darkness, and while it definitely has its problems, I quite enjoyed it.

Interview with Josh Peck, star of Red Dawn
Back in 2008, actor Josh Peck established himself as a talent to take notice of with his star turn alongside Sir Ben Kingsley in The Wackness, in which he played a troubled young man who sells pot from an ice cream pushcart. This year, he’s back in the action film Red Dawn – a remake of the much-adored film from 1984 about a fictional Russian invasion and occupation of the United States and the sm...[Read More]
Movie Review: Snow White and the Huntsman
The only similarity between Snow White and the Huntsman and the Disney tale with which you’re probably familiar is that both start with the words: “Once Upon a Time.” On the other side of that phrase lies a kingdom where men are mere bystanders against the forces that reign supreme: beauty and dark magic, wielded dangerously by bad-ass women. Evil queen Ravenna (Charlize Theron) is a man-hat...[Read More]
Movie Review: The Avengers
I’ve mentioned several times in the past that I was apprehensive regarding an Avengers movie. Logistically, teaming up all of those major superheroes would be something most people couldn’t do successfully. As the project grew closer though and all the ancillary films were released, I started to think that a team-up movie of this scope could work. Then, Marvel signed Joss Whedon to co-write ...[Read More]
Movie Review: The Cabin in the Woods
“You think you know the story;” it’s one you think you’ve seen dozens of times (Friday the 13th, Cabin fever, Evil Dead, etc.), but it’s not. It’s really not. When this movie was first brought to my attention I was anything but curious, then I heard that Joss Whedon was involved, and my curiosity level raised just enough for me to investigate, and after having viewed a few trailers and clips, my c...[Read More]
