Trailer for Insidious
A teaser trailer (and I do mean teaser) is finally out for the upcoming frightener, Insidious, brought to us by those quality folks behind Paranormal Activity and Saw. The film’s director, James Wan, was responsible for the very first Saw, which was arguably the only one of value in the entire line. He also helmed [...]
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.
The Rite Trailer
Hang onto your crucifixes! Nothing scares like a good film that plays to the darker corners of religion and hides behind the veil of “inspired by true events.” That appears the direction of The Rite, Anthony Hopkins’ new film where he assumes the characteristically sinister old dude; this time a seasoned priest skilled in exorcisms.

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 [...]
Trailer for Source Code

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 [...]
Trailer for Green Lantern
The trailer for Martin Campbell‘s Green Lantern, starring Popscorn favorite Ryan Reynolds, is finally out and boy is it pretty lame. That initial reaction likely has a fair amount to do with the Lantern’s green tights, which the studio decided to render entirely using computers. The idea was controversial enough at the time (for good [...]
Trailer for My Soul to Take
A trailer for Wes Craven‘s latest, My Soul to Take, is finally out. And it’s pretty classic Craven fare, which is about its only redeeming quality. The film promises a high-school scare (literally and figuratively) and a formulaic OK time. Each wondering teenager tries to discern the killer in the dark; each gets offed one-by-one (some will likely be getting off at the same time); ultimately one will remain to reveal the truth ahead of a conclusion that is surely to glimpse the possibility of a sequel. The film is borderline interesting, but the 3D angle, which seems to be infecting almost every film as of late, makes it a real toss-up.
