    Sweet (Teaser) Trailer…’Cowboys & Aliens’

    Oh man I don’t know how much more trailer awesomeness I can take in one week. Who am I kidding this is AWESOME!! On Monday we had the Cowboys & Aliens teaser poster and now we have the teaser trailer. What a week film fans, what a week! Check out Daniel Craig in the awesome trailer from Yahoo! Movies below: In Silver City, Arizona, Apache Indians and Western settlers must lay their differences aside when an alien spaceship crash lands in their city. Wow, that was just what a trailer should be; elusive and mysterious. This adaptation, of a graphic novel of the same name, is directed by Jon Favreau…

    Off the Shelf…’Who Framed Roger Rabbit’

    Certain films from my childhood only hold up because of that thing we call “nostalgia”…and this is definitely not one of them. Such a pioneer in terms of animation and well, mostly animation. A wonderfully funny and well acted noir film, this really caters to all ages and is a joy to watch repeatedly. The thing I am curious about is why this method/style of storytelling never caught on or was widely repeated – probably just too expensive I’d bet. However that makes this all the more special as it has neither worthy (key word there) imitators or successors.

    Off the Shelf…'Hook'

    I think it’s fair to say that a great many people overlook this film and it wasn’t really popular when it came out, but over the years I have learned to love Hook. Steven Spielberg can almost do no wrong and while this is a departure from the actioners he is known to helm, this still had its fair share of kid friendly swashbuckling. Talk about an ensemble cast, this film has acting talent in spades…
