Online Viewing: The Electric Grandmother

Oct 18 2010 2 Comments  87 views

The Electric Grandmother is an excellent 1982 made-for-TV movie based on Ray Bradbury’s short story “I Sing the Body Electric!” My teacher showed us this movie in third grade using an actual film projector, and I haven’t been able to find it since. Now it’s online at YouTube: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5. Watch it while you can! You can bet it’ll be down by this time next week.




Trailer: Skyline

Oct 1 2010 No Comment  20 views

The first theatrical trailer for Skyline really didn’t do it for me, but this one looks like an amazing mix of Independence Day and War of the Worlds. At least, amazing in terms of visuals. I’m still withholding judgment, as a lot of recent Hollywood invasion movies has bombed at the box office lately, and the actual plot behind the film sounds suspiciously like Cloverfield. You know the one. Aliens land, people run, people run some more.

Still, just from the visuals in this trailer, I can already tell that I’m definitely going to see this one at some point. The question is whether I’ll pop for a ten dollar ticket or wait to Red Box it.

Carfeul Harry, he doesn’t have a nose! It’s funny, because you never stop to consider how ridiculously over-dramatic trailers are until someone draws your attention to it.

Trailer: Let Me In

Sep 7 2010 1 Comment  4 views

The trailer for Matt Reeves’ Let Me In remake was released this weekend. Reeves directed episodes of “Felicity” as well as J.J. Abrams’ monster movie Cloverfield. The mix is an odd one, but fitting, given the subject matter. The film will be released nationwide October 1st, making this the first Halloween season in recent memory to feature a good, solid horror movie in theaters.

Trailer: Freakonomics

I’m surprised to see that this movie actually looks like it’s going to have some broad appeal. I didn’t expect that, despite loving the book.

The latest film to be teased is Universal’s Skyline looks to be a cross between War of the Worlds and Independence Day. It also looks to be insanely CG-heavy. The invasion thriller stars Eric Balfour, Donald Faison, Brittany Daniel, David Zayas and a few more indie actors. The trailer premiered at Comic-Con, but now its loose on the new so that you can see it for yourself. It premieres November 12th.

You can also watch the official Skyline trailer in High Definition on Apple.

Trailer: Solomon Kane

Dec 29 2009 No Comment  9 views

Each new trailer makes Solomon Kane look even more exciting. This one is mini-featurette that previews the film’s spectacular fight scenes. From what I can see, this film is going to stick very closely to Robert Howard’s version, which is exactly the way it should be. I can’t wait.
