SXSW 2010 Preview: Hubble 3D

I saw this preview 10 times the other night while waiting for Alice in Wonderland to begin. I’m a pretty big space nerd so I’m excited about this one. Check in out!

A Evening with Kevin Smith in Austin, Texas 3-4-2010

I don’t know how he does it, but the man can talk for hours (three and a half to be exact) and it’s never boring. Kevin Smith has been known for his question and answer sessions for the better part of a decade now. With the release of three DVD sets covering a [...]

SXSW 2010 Preview: The Runaways

I decided to preview all of the mainstream flicks hitting SXSW for this week’s set of previews. We’ll start with The Runaways, starring Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart. It’s a movie about the titular group, which includes Joan Jett (Stewart), and their rise to fame in the 70s. Check out the trailer after the jump.

82nd Annual Oscar Winners

Figured I would repost this so we could discuss the Oscars. The winners are all fine in my mind but the show itself was a bit of a mess. That strange acceptance speech interruption for the Documentary Short winner, the complete lack of Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin after having to endure those cheesy commercials, and a bunch of strange sounds off stage throughout all combined to make a bizarre show. But enough with that, here are the winners.

After the break.

UPDATE: Terribly shot video of the lady that interrupted the Short Documentary winning speech.

Trailer 2: Iron Man 2

This was just too awesome not to post. I let out an audible nerd gasm at one of the very last shots. My only fear is that this trailer will push expectations into Dark Knight territory but with Downey and Favreau steering the ship, I think we’ll be ok. Check it out after the jump.

SXSW 2010 Preview: Cyrus

Austin’s own Mark and Jay Duplass direct what many consider to be their first mainstream film with a calvalcade of comedic actors. These guys also directed The Puffy Chair and Baghead.

Alice in Wonderland (2010)

Well here we are, the first tent pole 3D film to follow Avatar. Alice in Wonderland blasts into theaters this week and promises to keep your eyes busy with visual rape. The trailers seem to sell you that this is Johnny Depp’s movie in his turn as the Mad Hatter. I can’t say that I was unconvinced since his character is nearly as fleshed out as the titular Alice (Mia Wasikowska) but I have to admit that even with the many reservations I had for Wonderland, I still came away enjoying it. I’m just not certain I actually liked it.

SXSW Preview Film: Greenlit

There’s lots of documentaries this year that I’m looking forward to. This one details the struggles a film production had while trying to be a “green production.” The concept might seem boring but check out the trailer and see for yourself.

Retro Review: The Night of the Living Dead (1968)

This was the first time I had ever seen this movie.  I know, what kind of an asshole loves zombies but doesn’t see the one film that paved the way for the modern zombie apocalypse?  This one, that’s who.  So I sat down to watch this flick the other day.  For those even less cool [...]

Breachtube: Lego The Force Unleashed

Holy crap is this awesome! Not only is this a pretty engaging little clip, it’s done in a production style that looks very good. And did I mention it’s Lego stop motion? Watch it now, after the jump!

SXSW 2010 Preview: American Grindhouse

I’ll be seeing this one for sure. It basically dives into the seedier period in film history and just how out of hand it got. Check out the trailer after the jump.

SXSW 2010 Preview: Tucker and Dale vs. Evil

I really don’t know what this movie’s about but it has Alan Tudyk so I’m there. It’s one of the midnight films of the festival, which are primarily genre/horror films. This one looks to please both fronts. The trailer is after the jump.

Cop Out

I’ll be eating a heaping helping of crow after this…
I’ve been a big supporter of this movie since I had first heard of it being in production.  I even liked the trailer that everyone loathed.  The fact of the matter is I’m a huge, unapologetic Kevin Smith fan.  The dude is a total geek, he [...]

SXSW 2010 Preview: The People vs. George Lucas

Jesse and I will be attending the SXSW Film Festival this year so I thought I would start showing some previews of what we’re planning on seeing. First up is The People vs. George Lucas, which looks to be an exposé on how Lucas’ fans have turned against him due to all the choices he’s made with the Star Wars films. The whole topic is pretty hair splitting for film geeks so this looks like an interesting piece. Check out the trailer after the jump!
