New Trailer: ‘Godzilla’

12.10.2013 | By |

I am mixed about this teaser trailer of Godzilla. One one end, WB has assembled a great cast of actors with serious cred like Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Juliette Binoche (The English Patient), Ken Watanabe (Inception), Sally Hawkins (Blue Jasmine) and Elizabeth Olsen (Martha Marcy May Marlene) to name a few. On the other end, after watching what Guillermo del Toro did with the monsters from the sea in ‘Pacific Rim‘, can anyone else imagine surpassing those visuals? I get it, we now get the original sea monster, but WB should’ve gotten Del Toro to direct Godzilla because now, Godzilla looks like ‘Pacific Rim: The Sequel‘. The surprise factor is gone, but perhaps the acting and the gravitas of the film will make it a different experience. I’d have to see it to evaluate properly, but for now, I’m ambivalent. Read More

12.10.2013 | By |

With the news that Disney is now in charge of the Indiana Jones franchise, one of the most iconic brands in Hollywood history, questions arise on its future. Will it continue with Harrison Ford or will they reboot the whole thing? It didn’t work with Shia LeBoeuf. In my weekly syndicated radio segment on the Luis Jimenez Show, “Lengua, Cámara y Acción,” on X96.3FM IN NY, we also talked about the new Fast & Furious 7 plans and Adam Sandler being #1 on Forbes’ Most Overpaid list. Listen to the radio segment and tell us what you think.

New International Trailer: ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’!

12.5.2013 | By |

Here is the first international trailer of The Amazing Spider-Man 2! It’s a thrilling trailer a bit shorter than the domestic but it packs a punch! It starts off excellently and it’s great to see 3 villains in the mix, even though it worries me since superhero films with too many characters bloats the story. I think the film will do huge box office numbers and break the $752,216,557 it made worldwide with its first part. Read More

National Board of Review Announces 2013 Winners

12.4.2013 | By |

For those who don’t know what the National Board of Review is, they are an nonprofit organization founded in 1909 in New York City, just 13 years after the birth of cinema. In 1930, the NBR was the first group to choose the ten best English-language movies of the year and the best foreign films. Today they chose their best in movies for 2013 and I can’t disagree more with them in many, not all, of their categories. Many of these winners won’t even stick come Oscar time. I belong to the BFCA and NYFCO and will make sure that my votes correct these mistakes, in my opinion. Read More

New Trailer: ‘300: Rise of an Empire’, Official Trailer #2

12.4.2013 | By |

I’m not sure if the sequel of ‘300’ will ever be better than its predecessor, but it looks like it could be fun to watch. Directed by Israeli director Noam Murro (Smart People), written by Zack Snyder and Kurt Johnstad and starring Eva Green, Brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro and Sullivan Stapleton, the bloody R rated film promises tons of action, bundles of sanguine scenes and CGI that will make your eyes bloodshot.  Read More
