Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale
If you happen to be in the D.C. area this holiday season (or one of these other lucky locales), head on over to E Street Cinema and catch what has to be the pick for holiday family movie, Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale.
TRON: Legacy
Set in a digital sub-reality, filled with humanoid manifestations of computer programs, it should come as no surprise that TRON: Legacy is a soulless film. The characters and plot are plainly one-dimensional — a heartily ironic situation given the film shows in 3D — and absent of anything that might trigger an emotional connection to [...]
Trailer for Thor
As expected, following the release of the official poster for the film, the studio-approved trailer (as opposed to the earlier one, which wasn’t) for Marvel’s upcoming tent-pole, Thor, has hit the interwebs. The footage is pretty similar to what we’ve seen already, but this time it’s in HD with a smattering of new material here and there.

Transformers 3 and Real Steel Trailers
Today we’re blessed with not one, but two first looks at some upcoming robot shenanigans. First up is the anticipated — saying highly anticipated seems a stretch, no? — Transformers 3: Dark Side of the Moon. I have to admit, this trailer is done well and actually carries some weight to draw you in. That [...]

Since 2010 is coming to a close and the 83rd Academy Awards are just around the corner (February of next year), the Washington Area Film Critics Association (WAFCA) announced their picks for the best films of this year. The Social Network took top recognition for Best Film, Best Director (David Fincher) and Best Adapted Screenplay [...]
Trailer for Source Code
The long-awaited sophomore debut from director Duncan Jones (of the quietly awesome Moon), Source Code, has finally stepped into the light. On the surface, the Spring-2011 film seems an intriguing cerebral trip and a fittingly unique story for Jones to helm. Just as long as it doesn’t get sappy, devolving into lead, Jake Gyllenhaal, falling [...]
