    Sweet Trailer…Ron Maxwell's Civil War-era 'Copperhead'

    As America prepares to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War this summer, we film fans can get to see the release of acclaimed filmmaker Ron Maxwell‘s (Gods and Generals, Gettysburg) next epic Copperhead this Friday. Copperhead is the new Civil War-era movie, inspired by actual events and based on Harold Frederic’s novel of the same name, about a righteous farmer Abner Beech of Upstate New York, who despises slavery – but just as passionately opposes the war that is waging in the name of the union hundreds of miles away. Abner is neither a Yankee nor a Rebel but is what is known as a “Copperhead”. Check out the trailer below… Differing slightly from…

    Sweet Trailer…'V/H/S/2'

    Yesterday we posted a great trailer for Peter Strickland’s suspenseful thriller (a film that was pretty well received at Fantastic Fest last year).  But if you need something with a little more punch, direct your eyes to this trailer for the sequel to the infamous horror anthology V/H/S, dubbed simply V/H/S/ 2 (or S-V/H/S if you prefer its cute techno-themed chronological moniker). As the first film was a scattered but highly effective fright fest, this sequel holds nothing back and really, really goes for the throat…and every major organ while they’re at it. So if you favored V/H/S even in the least then this trailer to the improved upon sequel (check out Andrew’s review…

    Sweet Trailer…Edgar Wright's 'The World's End'

      This year, barring some minor misfires, has been an outstanding year for films and it looks like things are only going to get better from here on in. Of the staggering amount of awesomeness coming down the pike in 2013 we’ve highlighted the films we’re most excited about and this Summer, between the comic book and sci-fi madness, we’ll finally get to see the final leg of Edgar Wright‘s so-called “Blood and Ice Cream” trilogy. We posted some still shots last year but the first trailer for Wright’s uproarious looking comedy The World’s End has just been released so have a look below… It’s a full on alien invasion threatening the planet and…

    Sweet Trailer…'Thor: The Dark World'

    Marvel’s Cinematic Universe: Phase Two continues with Iron Man 3 (which hits theaters this May) but there’s one superhero we’re even more excited to see again. After The Avengers, some may have forgotten we still had a few more stand-alone character sequels to come from the Marvel Universe on the big screen but this Fall we’ll see the return of the Odin-son in Thor: The Dark World. The first trailer dropped and this pretty (excuse the pun) dark looking sequel is already living up to our expectations. Here’s hoping that the follow up to the 2011 hit shows us that lightning strikes twice for the God of Thunder…enjoy! Thor battles to save all the Nine Realms…

    Sweet Trailer…Keanu Reeves' 'Man of Tai Chi'

    We’ve heard about Keanu Reeves‘ pet project Man of Tai Chi for a while now but aside from a few set shots (and news about the film’s cutting edge camera work) very little production news has surfaced. This weekend the first trailer for the film dropped and while the quality isn’t that great it still raises eyebrows and pulses. From the looks of it Man of Tai Chi will be about a martial arts tournament set in Beijing and stars Tiger Chen (veteran stuntman). The plot is very vague as IMDb only gives us this bit of info: “In Beijing, a young martial artist’s skill places him in position to…

    Sweet Trailer…'R.I.P.D.'

    While it may not be apparent to the average film fan, there are a lot of movies out there that are adapted from comics. Sure everyone knows Superman, Spider-Man and those properties, but now people are becoming more familiar with off-beat characters Kick-Ass and Scott Pilgrim as well as the likes of RED and the MIB. For those of you new to this table, R.I.P.D. is a short-lived and obscure but still popular Dark Horse Comics mini-series. At first glance it looks like an even-handed mix of Men In Black and Hellblazer (aka Constantine) but still looks like it’s got the legs and wacky fun to keep it from being a face plant like Cowboys &…

    Sweet (Make That Super) Trailer…Zack Snyder's 'Man of Steel'

    There are a precious few films in 2013 that have our unwavering attention and support. Well, really there’s more than a few, but chief among the highly anticipated titles still coming down the pike are Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. We’ve been teased in the last few trailers but nothing really moved the mercury for us like we were expecting. Today that all changes as the one-two punch of Snyder’s visuals and Christopher Nolan’s story now show us a hefty glimpse of the epicness we’re in store for this June. So let me not detain you any longer…enjoy this magnificent 3 minute trailer for Man of Steel. Not going to lie, this gives…

    Sweet (Red Band) Trailer…'Only God Forgives'

    Things have been really good for Ryan Gosling over the last decade. After a slew of hits including The Notebook, Drive, The Ides of March, the upcoming film The Place Beyond the Pines and even fluffier fares like Crazy Stupid Love, Gosling looks to continue his hit streak with Only God Forgives. Re-teaming with G-S-T favorite Nicolas Winding Refn this follow up to Drive looks like it’ll be another stunning film…and why wouldn’t it be? Regardless of an exceptionally talented filmmaker like Refn behind the camera, Gosling is that rare breed of actor who can take just about any role. Further, his career has continued to skyrocket because of the types of…

    Sweet Trailer…'The Purge'

    Ethan Hawke has been stretching his acting muscles lately. Last year he was the unlikely star of the ultra scary horror film Sinister. Additionally in 2012 we saw him get back to his roots in the final leg of Richard Linklater’s Oscar-nominated trilogy Before Midnight. Well, following on the heels of Hawke’s against-type roles in films like Daybreakers and Sinister comes The Purge, an odd duck of a horror film that looks like a strange mix of The Hunger Games and the mounting tension of John Carpenter’s Assault on Precinct 13 (as well as the remake that starred Hawke). Anyway, have a look at the official Apple trailer and see if…

    Sweet Trailer…'World War Z'

    When last we checked in on the film adaptation of Max Brooks’ novel World War Z things didn’t look all that great. Not only for the cast, which includes Brad Pitt, but also for us film fans. It seemed that nearly every message board on the web was ablaze with less than favorable opinions. Commenters complained about the shoddy CG, the fact it looked like a terrible sequel to I Am Legend, it doesn’t look at all like the book (or follow its numerous plot lines) and a few other snide comments we won’t bring up here. Well this new trailer might win over some naysayers. Also, as Olympic-sprinter Zombies are all…
