Well it’s a rainy Monday here in Dallas, so it seemed the right time to post the first trailer for James Purefoy‘s latest: Solomon Kane. A 16th century Puritan, Solomon Kane is a somber-looking man who wanders the world with no apparent goal other than to vanquish evil in all its forms. His adventures, published mostly in the pulp magazine Weird Tales, often take him from Europe to the jungles of Africa and back. Honestly, I was expecting a little more and a little less…but let me explain. When I say “a little more” I was expecting something with some more feeling, not the sort of ‘wooden’ acting that’s abundant…

Sweet Trailer…'Boondock Saints II'
The day has finally come to get our first look at the highly anticipated sequel to one of the most revered cult classics, The Boondock Saints. I have posted the trailer below so please, sit back and enjoy… [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmDhSNssaOI] Now I love the first Boondock Saints and it is one of the more played movies in my library. Despite my feelings about the original, I have to say that this looks a little cheap, possibly (like the case of Crystal Skull) too little, too late. And oh, how the might have fallen. The entire gang (sans Willem Dafoe) is back for this sequel but the years have not been kind…

Sweet Trailer…'The Men Who Stare At Goats'
If you don’t know anything about this movie yet, you’re probably asking, what the hell is this movie about? A sequel to Borat??… some kind of farming documentary??…some art-house flick made by a first year film student?? Well in all three cases you’d be wrong and by the looks of the trailer, this could be one hysterical film…so for now, take a look and enjoy!! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVKi3z1NXF8] FirstShowing gives us the following on this quirky comedy: The Men Who Stare at Goats stars George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Jeff Bridges and is directed by former actor and producer Grant Heslov, of only the comedy Par 6 previously and some episodes of “Unscripted”.…

Sweet Trailer…'The Wolfman'
Now this is a surprise! Not a word of this movie was uttered between last year’s Comic-Con and now, then all of a sudden we get production photos a few days ago, and then BAM! one very incredible trailer. For those of you who have seen it I would image we are all impressed with what we were given. I for one was holding no hope for this film for a variety of reasons, so maybe that’s why I was excited that I thought I would be after watching the trailer. There’s just something about the quality level of this particular trailer that made me watch it over and over…

Sweet Trailers…’Legion’ and ‘The Fourth Kind’
OK, I guess my attempt to continue writing quality posts/opinions about the wonderful world of films resulted in this just being a week of posting trailers. Not exactly flexing my literary muscle but hey, it’s been a pretty long and drawn out week so less work is (to aptly and redundantly put it) less work. So to send you to the weekend with a double case of awesome and excellent, here are two trailers for what looks to be some just kick ass and plain scary (respectively) movie going fun. First up is the new Screen Gems movie Legion, starring Paul Bettany, Dennis Quaid, Tyrese Gibson and Kevin Durand. Interesting…

Sweet Trailer…'Law Abiding Citizen'
Last week I wrote this post about the new poster for Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx‘s new movie Law Abiding Citizen. As intriguing as the premise was I took an apprehensive stance simply becasue this movie popped up out of nowhere with out much news leading up to it (and that’s usually a bad sign…do you hear me ‘I Love You Beth Cooper’?) Anyway, a trailer was just premiered on Entertainment Tonight and boy am I on board now!! This looks so much better than I thought and I’m excited to see more!! Have a look and enjoy…talk about a good way to end a ho-hum Thursday:) What do you…

Sweet Trailer…'Mystery Team'
A few months ago I saw this trailer on Apple’s website and I laughed my ass off. This just looks like one very very clever and satirical take on The Hardy Boys, Scooby Doo and a few other iconic sleuthing teams (but I can’t put my finger on who they would be). For those of you who still have no idea what Mystery Team is…behold and be informed…we’ll reconvene after this short pause for witty detective humor:) [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMxEe2gnaQY] God, that’s still funny…When I first saw it I thought it was a joke or a film sooo independent in nature and production, that I would be hard pressed to find a…

Sweet Trailer…’The Informant’
Looks like the trailer industry has thrown us a movie that will actually be as funny as they’re advertising to be. The Informant is a film from Steven Soderbergh coming out this fall and stars Matt Damon and Scott Bakula…really?… How’s that for casting out of left field??:P Anyway, check out the trailer which looks pretty damn funny… [[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hxi-z3ZZBI] From First Showing we get this brief tid-bit about Damon’s new flick: Premise: The government decides to go after an agri-business giant with a price-fixing accusation, based on the evidence submitted by their star witness, vice president turned informant Mark Whitacre (Matt Damon). The Informant is directed by Oscar winning filmmaker…

Sweet Trailer…'The Invention of Lying'
Simple pleasures for a simple Monday. It’s undeniable that Ricky Gervais is pure comic gold. He’s flat out funny in every way, shape and form. So much so that his brilliantly simple show about the boring world we spend 8 plus hours in 5 days a week inspired our own ‘state-side’ adaptation that is hugely successful…I’m talking about ‘The Office’. Yes, that’s right, your beloved Steve Carell show is a US remake of the British show of the same name. If you haven’t see it, please go check it out. Ricky almost seems to radiate comedy and makes everything and anything funny. Just watch his other show “Extras” or his…

Sweet Trailer…'The Box'
While I’m not a fan of Cameron Diaz in probably anything but The Mask and not interested in seeing Cyclops (James Marsden) with out his “ruby quartz glasses” so this whole movie looks like a mis-cast. I’d all but pass this movie up completely if it weren’t for the pleasantly creepy and intriguing presence of Frank Langella (and his Jurassic Park sized bite mark on his face). It’s with that last statment that I’ll say I was surprised by the trailer and not entirely going to skip this movie. But please have a look at the trailer and maybe you’ll be surprised too. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G01JgrKuuCU] Personally I think looks like a…
