Think “Running Man” meets “Death Race,” but mostly “Running Man.” “Gamer” features Gerard Butler (“300″) as a prisoner who must survive 30 rounds to gain his freedom. The bad news is someone else is playing him remotely, controlling his every move. Okay, so it’s more “Running Man” meets “The Matrix,” but whatever. So far I’m [...]

Wow, this looks pretty good. I had been hearing “The Road” mentioned in a few places, but until today I hadn’t seen any details on it. Now we’ve got a trailer for the post-apocalyptic film from John Hillcoat starring Viggo Mortensen and Charlize Theron as they struggle to stay alive when almost everyone else is [...]

Following on the heels of last week’s poster releases, “Give ‘Em Hell Malone” has a new trailer to promote its Cannes appearance. “Malone” features Thomas Jane as the tough guy private investigator who apparently likes to shoot at everything.

“Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen” has a brand spankin’ new trailer out now that actually looks pretty awesome. Don’t get me wrong, there’s no way I’m going to pay good money to see this in the theater after that last 2.5-hour commercial filled piece of crap that Michael Bay passed off as a movie. [...]

William Shatner has had very limited involvement with the upcoming “Star Trek” film from JJ Abrams. Limited to his complaining about not being involved, really. Abrams pointed out it was too bad Shatner let Captain Kirk be killed off with a weak finish to his character or maybe they could have used him. Either way, [...]

“District 9″ is a sci-fi flick with an interesting social issue twist: refugees. But these refugees are from outer space. “District 9″ is directed by Neill Blomkamp, the once (and possibly future) director of “Halo,” along with Peter Jackson (“Lord of the Rings”) producing. Things have been pretty tight-lipped on details but here if the [...]

“Adam” is another one of your quirky indie films featuring quirky characters doing quirky things. This one might be a little too quirky for me, but I’m a fan of Rose Byrne (“Sunshine”, “28 Weeks Later”) so I’m willing to reserve judgment until we see more. Starring Byrne and Hugh Dancy, “Adam” features Dancy as [...]

Sure, it’s been done over and over, but “Case 39,” which presents yet another evil child as a harbinger of hell, actually doesn’t look too shabby. Since its completion in 2006, “Case 39″, starring Renée Zellweger, has been sitting on the shelf waiting for distribution and the release of its trailer below could be a [...]

I’m warming up to “The Brothers Bloom” starring Adrien Brody and Mark Ruffalo along with Rachel Weisz in the con-man comedy that reminds me of something we’d see from Wes Anderson. Almost. Now we have the chance to watch the first seven minutes of the flick in advance. The Brothers Bloom are the best con [...]

I’m not so sure about the Demetri Martin led and Ang Lee directed “Taking Woodstock.” Yes, that Ang Lee. Is he just losing to dare bets these days? Anyway, “Taking Woodstock” is exactly what it sounds like. Hilarious hijinks about a boy and his hopes of hosting Woodstock. Ehh… A generation began in his backyard…. [...]
