Trailer for ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’

Check out the first trailer for ‪The Amazing Spider-Man.

I saw this in 3D last night before Captain America and got super excited.  The first person shots were excellent eye candy in 3D (and a direct homage to Mirror’s Edge which I enjoyed).

I sure do love me some Spider-Man!

‘Moneyball’ Trailer

Moneyball looks fun based on this trailer. Great casting. I’m not normally a fan of ‘based on a true story’ or sports movies but I’m looking forward to this one.

Great Things Collide: Portal 2 & The National

The National is a great band. Portal 2 is a great computer game. The former did a great song for the latter called Exile Vilify (7.6 MB MP3) but sadly it only gets played from a tinny radio in the game. You could easily miss it while playing the game (or maybe you’re one of those weird people who doesn’t play great games).

Valve means to fix the low billing of the song in the game with the Portal 2 Music Video Contest.

I don’t know how to fix the problem of not enough people playing amazing games that represent some of the most creative work I’ve seen in years.

In any case, the point of this post was that it’s awesome when things you love come together.

‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ Trailer

I’m not sold on the idea of the American remake but here’s the first trailer for (American) The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

David Fincher directing and a soundtrack from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross should intense at least…

‘Hesher’ Review

Hesher is a movie about a broken young boy, T.J., meeting the title character (played, spectacularly by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) a man/boy who likes to break things. He’s not a good role model, he’s not a good person, but he might be good for T.J.

Check out the trailer and catch it in theaters if you have a chance.

Hesher – 4 out of 5
