Umm…shit. I can’t say I’m a Tron fanboy by any stretch, but Disney’s new trailer for the December 2010-slated sequel, Tron Legacy, is pretty damn awesome. I have to think that with a visual film like this, 3D rendering is the right choice and should prove a big pay off. Jeff Bridges, too, looks solid returning as Flynn. (Even I can appreciate him in this, despite being bothered by his Oscar award for Crazy Heart).

Christopher Nolan looks to have another hit on his hands. Damn if Inception doesn’t look to be a fascinating mind-bender.

James Cameron’s Avatar is decidedly one of the (if not the) most anticipated films of 2009. This weekend, the nearly $250-million alien tale of epic proportions hits theaters. And it’s about time. Avatar is more than 15-years in the making. Poor Cameron had to wait for technology to catch up to his vision for the ground-breaking yarn before it could be fully spun. The film’s visuals clearly benefited from this extended period of study and execution. The writing and the plot, on the other hand, didn’t. As Avatar’s appearance continued getting better with time, its story and structured waned. Considering the holiday time of year, it’s ironic that to enjoy Avatar is to revel in the wrapping. Remember that when opening your presents in the coming weeks.

Just ordered this on blu-ray today, in fact. That’s a whole mess of bloopers.

I am beginning to question my commitment to Sparkle Motion.

Director Richard Kelly had an avid fan after Donnie Darko, but his most recent follow-up, The Box, just doesn’t deliver. See, The Box would be really interesting if it wasn’t so boring. That may seem obvious, but something about the movie should be since most of it is a garbled mess.

Fun list. And glad Reign of Fire is included; that film is so underrated.

Of course, just as we announce the extended trailer for AVATAR showing in front of the football game this weekend, Yahoo! goes and releases it online.

This should be pretty damn cool. Even if you’re not a football fan, you should tune in to the game this Sunday for an extended look (3.5 minutes, in fact) at James Cameron’s AVATAR. We’re obviously a fan of the film here at Popscorn and can’t wait for it’s release later this year.
