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

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.

After receiving a lengthy standing ovation at its World Premiere at the New York Film Festival, Ben Stiller’s ‘The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty‘ seems to be Oscar bound. How far it’ll get is the question. It’s a fantasy film and they don’t usually prevail at the Oscars. Here is the brand new theatrical trailer that fleshes out the plot a bit more explicitly. Have a look below… Read More

In a really, really, really bad year for animated movies, we finally get to see, perhaps, the frontrunner to the Best Animated Feature at the Oscars – Frozen – from Walt Disney Animation Studios (Tangled, Wreck-It Ralph). Its toughest competitor will most likely be The Wind Rises by legendary animation director Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle). That film had a soporific effect on me that almost lulled me to sleep. Read More
