Trailer for Pedro Almodóvar’s ‘The Skin I Live In’
Posted on Tuesday, August 30, 2011 at 2:32 am by Danny King in the Videos categoryTrailer for Michel Hazanavicius’ ‘The Artist’
Posted on Thursday, August 25, 2011 at 7:05 pm by Danny King in the Videos categoryYesterday, the invitingly nostalgic domestic poster for Michel Hazanavicius’ The Artist landed online. Now, via Apple, we also have a new trailer for the film, which produces a similar effect. The Artist has become a 2011 favorite for many of … Continue reading
Movie Review: ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’ (2011)
Posted on Thursday, August 25, 2011 at 5:50 am by Danny King in the Reviews categoryAs I look back on Rupert Wyatt’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes, it becomes more and more obvious that a good deal of the film is vapid and without substance. There’s a love line that exists between James … Continue reading
Poster for Michel Hazanavicius’ ‘The Artist’
Posted on Wednesday, August 24, 2011 at 10:37 pm by Danny King in the Posters categorySpeaking of sublime posters for Weinstein Company products, THR has also dropped the classy domestic one-sheet for Michel Hazanavicius’ The Artist. The throwback “silent film” — there is a musical score, courtesy of Ludovic Bource — burst onto the scene … Continue reading
Poster for Simon Curtis’ ‘My Week with Marilyn’
Posted on Wednesday, August 24, 2011 at 10:19 pm by Danny King in the Posters categoryThough its premiere at the New York Film Festival isn’t very far away — nor, too, is the film’s November 4 theatrical release date — the marketing for Simon Curtis’ My Week with Marilyn has remained surprisingly quiet to date. … Continue reading
Trailer for Roman Polanski’s ‘Carnage’
Posted on Sunday, August 21, 2011 at 8:19 pm by Danny King in the Videos categoryThis trailer for Roman Polanski’s Carnage, which debuted online a couple of days ago over at Twitch, certainly reflects the emotional pandemonium that was pasted on the film’s recently-released poster. That being said, it’s still tough to tell whether the … Continue reading
Movie Review: ‘One Day’ (2011)
Posted on Saturday, August 20, 2011 at 10:15 pm by Danny King in the Reviews categoryLone Scherfig’s One Day is a love story about two apparent opposites who, more or less, fall in love at first sight when they spend the night together after graduating from Edinburgh University on July 15, 1988. But while these … Continue reading
Trailer for Marc Forster’s ‘Machine Gun Preacher’
Posted on Friday, August 19, 2011 at 4:55 pm by Danny King in the Videos categoryI recently caught up with Marc Forster’s Monster’s Ball and found it to be astonishingly good. Of his other work, I can only recall seeing Stranger Than Fiction, which I was also impressed by. So his upcoming Gerard Butler-starrer Machine … Continue reading
Oscar Predictions: Diving in Before the Festivals
Posted on Thursday, August 18, 2011 at 9:27 pm by Danny King in the Awards categoryBack in early March, I put together a preliminary set of Oscar predictions for the impending 2011-2012 awards season. Most of the films that made their way into my charts have still yet to be released theatrically, but trailers have … Continue reading
