Apple – Trailers – Horton Hears A Who – Trailer 1 Medium

http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/hortonhearsawho/medium_t1.html I’m getting tired of the cynical, ironic tone used in every kids’ movie these days. A shame about this one, which has been Carrey- and Carrell-ified so much it detracts from the jaw-dropping Seussian animation – they’ve nailed the look, but I don’t recall the good Dr. ever writing about emo kids…

Richard Hammond presents Bloody Omaha (The Graphics)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRS9cpOMYv0 Not sure about the Frankie-says style music, but this little vid shows the power of modern-day digital effects and compositing. 3 guys recreate the thousands of troops invading the beaches on D-Day.

The floor is his – Telegraph

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2007/09/30/sv_peterserafinowicz.xml I’m on a Peter Serafinowicz roll. Here’s a good Telegraph article introducing him (for those who don’t yet know him) and giving some idea of his gift for mimicry.

http://www.apple.com/trailers/thinkfilm/theten/trailer/ This looks like it will be equal parts squirm-inducing and pants-wetting. But as Liev Schreiber and Paul Rudd continue to rock my world, I will happily sit (or fast-forward, more like) through the squick.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070721/en_nm/arts_potter_reviews_dc_1;_ylt=AvvDFJMOHWpvpix8.8W21tYE1vAI Best (and most applicable, for me) headline of the Harry Potter week: Hurry Potter: speed-reading critics rush reviews I’ve taken to reading the books in as few sittings as possible (generally one!) so as to avoid spoilers, but after seven hours or so can lead to the bizarre phenomenon of reading frantically without actually […]

Knocked Up – Movie Trailers – iTunes

http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/knockedup/hd/ Judd Apatow again mines hilarity… To say that Judd Apatow’s projects “mine hilarity” elicits imagery of viewers tripping roadside “bad-taste” bombs while trying to reach the safety of comedic heights. To give him 2 minutes of credit, though, this trailer looks decent, and there’s only one poo joke! I’ll assume Apatow was inspired to […]

The Fountain – Movies – Review – New York Times

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/22/movies/22foun.html Since 2006 was my Year of Overlooked Pop-Culture, I missed this scintillating A.O. Scott review. This is A.O. at his best: An appreciation for concepts that don’t quite work, constructive criticism of what went wrong and how things may have been better done, and the usual healthy dose of pretension-deflating humour. The Fountain was […]

http://www.apple.com/trailers/focus_features/hotfuzz/hd/ The “great-movies” tag is awarded with sincere hope on my part. So far, the Pegg-Frost-Wright alliance has yielded nothing but terrific work.

http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony/offside/hd/ This looks like it could be a lot of fun – a big change from the bleak drudgery of the other Iranian films I’ve seen. I’d like a word, though, with whoever decides the movie type listings. “Foreign” – like “animated” – isn’t a genre.
