Everything about Stephen Daldry’s Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close screams Oscar, and this Apple trailer — the first footage we’ve seen from the film, mind you — really puts the nail in the coffin. Daldry is well-known for having received … Continue reading

Trailer for Stephen Daldry’s ‘Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close’
Posted on Thursday, September 29, 2011 at 6:25 pm by Danny King in the Videos categoryMovie Review: ‘50/50′ (2011)
Posted on Thursday, September 29, 2011 at 12:30 pm by Danny King in the Reviews categoryJonathan Levine’s 50/50 has all of the makings of a heartstring-pulling melodrama. That it ends up being a better-than-average blend of comedy and drama — certainly fragile territory when working with this sort of subject matter — is credit to … Continue reading
Poster for Steven Spielberg’s ‘War Horse’
Posted on Wednesday, September 28, 2011 at 12:27 am by Danny King in the Posters categoryWhen that first trailer hit back in July, most pundits jumped at the chance to declare Steven Spielberg’s War Horse the early Oscar frontrunner. I’ve sort of come around to that perspective, which has gained plenty of legitimacy as of … Continue reading
Poster for Phyllida Lloyd’s ‘The Iron Lady’
Posted on Saturday, September 24, 2011 at 8:50 pm by Danny King in the Posters categoryIt seems almost inevitable that Meryl Streep’s turn as Margaret Thatcher will land her yet another Oscar nomination. I have to admit that I was kind of bugged by her nod for Nora Ephron’s Julie & Julia, which, as a … Continue reading
Extended Trailer for David Fincher’s ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’
Posted on Thursday, September 22, 2011 at 9:14 pm by Danny King in the Videos categoryMy anticipation for David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has already hit a fever pitch, largely because I consider the director’s earlier work in the crime genre — namely Seven and Zodiac — to be two of the … Continue reading
Trailer for John Madden’s ‘The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’
Posted on Thursday, September 22, 2011 at 12:01 am by Danny King in the Videos categoryThe trailer for John Madden’s The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel hit over at Apple a few days ago, and I thought I’d give it some proper space here, if only because I just recently took in Madden’s The Debt, which, … Continue reading
Trailer for Clint Eastwood’s ‘J. Edgar’
Posted on Monday, September 19, 2011 at 10:27 pm by Danny King in the Videos categoryIn terms of getting a glance at some kind of a trailer, Clint Eastwood’s J. Edgar has been one of the year’s longest holdouts. (Still remaining, among a few others, are Stephen Daldry’s Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and Jason … Continue reading
Movie Review: ‘Drive’ (2011)
Posted on Monday, September 19, 2011 at 3:11 am by Danny King in the Reviews categoryDrive is director Nicolas Winding Refn’s attempt to squeeze out every emotion possible from a Hossein Amini screenplay that — let’s face it — is pretty by-the-book in its overall construction. (James Sallis’ same-named 2005 novel provides the source material, … Continue reading
Trailer for Cameron Crowe’s ‘We Bought a Zoo’
Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2011 at 9:05 pm by Danny King in the Videos categoryIt doesn’t please me to report that I think this Apple trailer for Cameron Crowe’s We Bought a Zoo just exudes sappiness every step of the way. It’s been a while, obviously, since Crowe started hitting his stride in the … Continue reading
