New Clip from PROMETHEUS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 24th, 2012 at 8:41 am

A new clip from Prometheus has popped up online, but I’m not watching it.  If I didn’t have to review the movie, I probably wouldn’t mind viewing it, but I’m keeping my pledge to go as radio-silent as possible (it’s tough to avoid TV spots).  However, if you don’t care about going in cold, then you can check the clip out after the jump.

The film stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Logan Marshall-Green, Idris Elba, Sean Harris, Rafe Spall, and Guy Pearce.  Prometheus opens in 3D on June 8th.

First Clip from Paul Thomas Anderson’s THE MASTER Starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 21st, 2012 at 9:17 am

The first clip Paul Thomas Anderson‘s The Master has gone online.  The film stars Philip Seymour Hoffman as a veteran who’s haunted by his experiences during World War II, and decides to form his own religion as a result.  Joaquin Phoenix plays a drifter who becomes the right-hand man to Hoffman’s character.  As you’ll see from the clip, the movie apparently has a very heavy There Will Be Blood vibe both in terms of how its cut and from Jonny Greenwood‘s score.  The Master is also Joaquin Phoenix’s first movie since “retiring” from acting, and he looks absolutely amazing.  His performance in this clip is both creepy and dangerous, and I can’t wait to see him return to form in what could be one of his best roles to date.

Hit the jump to check out the clip.  The film, which also stars Amy Adams, Laura Dern, Jesse Plemons, and David Warshovsky, is having a sneak peek for press later today at the Cannes Film Festival.  The Master will probably make the fall festival rounds before hitting theaters on October 12th.

Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron Square Off in New SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN Clip

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: May 10th, 2012 at 12:08 pm

A new clip from director Rupert Sanders’ Snow White and the Huntsman has gone online.  We already knew from the trailers that this film has a very different tone than that other Snow White film that opened this year, Mirror Mirror, and this clip only reinforces the “dark and gritty” aspect of the film.  Chris Hemsworth’s Huntsman is being told asked by Charlize Theron’s Queen to hunt down that pesky Snow White, but this scene could seamlessly be dropped into an episode of Game of Thrones without seeming out of place.  Sanders has crafted a gritty fantasy take on the classic tale, but there’s also an air of the mystic or magical the permeates throughout.  I’m a big fan of what we’ve seen so far, and I’m eager to see an action/adventure film that has an intriguing and different visual style that stands out amongst the other summer fare.

Hit the jump to watch the clip.  The film also stars Kristen Stewart, Sam Claflin, Nick Frost, Bob Hoskins, Ray Winstone, Toby Jones, Eddie Marsan, and Ian McShane.  Snow White and the Huntsman opens on June 1st.

First Clip from KILLING THEM SOFTLY Starring Brad Pitt, Ray Liotta, and Sam Shepard

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 10th, 2012 at 9:38 am

The first clip from Andrew Dominik‘s Killing Them Softly has gone online.  The film (formerly titled Cogan’s Trade) stars Brad Pitt as a mob enforcer who’s tasked with investigating the robbery of a high-stakes poker game.  The terrific cast also includes Ray Liotta, James Gandolfini, Richard Jenkins, Richard Jenkins, Ben Mendelsohn, Scoot McNairy, Bella Heathcote, and Sam Shepard.  The clip shows Shepard’s character roughing up Liotta, and it gives an indication of the tone Dominik’s trying to strike.  There’s some clever camerawork culminating in a bit of dark comedy, and I’m curious to see if the rest of the film has the same attitude.

Facebook Sites for THE CAMPAIGN Provide First Clips from the Comedy Starring Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 7th, 2012 at 9:08 am

Warner Bros. has set up two Facebook sites to promote Jay Roach‘s upcoming comedy The Campaign.  Will Ferrell plays politician Cam Brady, who is squaring off his political rival, Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis).  Each candidate now has a Facebook site along with campaign ads that provide the first clips from the movie.  Sadly, these glimpses are pretty disappointing.  In a year where we’ve seen staggering stupidity from Republican presidential candidates, The Campaign seems to traffic more in malapropisms and predictable political sparring.  Hopefully, future glimpses of the film will feature better jokes.

Hit the jump to check out the campaign ads.  The film also stars Jason Sudeikis, Dylan McDermott, Brian Cox, John Lithgow and Dan Aykroyd. The Campaign opens August 10th.

New Clip and Poster for SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 7th, 2012 at 7:46 am

Universal has released a new clip from the fantasy-action film Snow Whiter and the Huntsman.  In this re-imagining, the Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) is ordered to take Snow White (Kristen Stewart) into the woods to be killed, but instead becomes her protector and mentor in a quest to vanquish the Evil Queen (Charlize Theron).  The clip shows Snow engaging in proper Troll-vanquishing etiquette where forceful screams are more powerful than an axe-wielding Huntsman.

First Clip from David Cronenberg’s COSMOPOLIS Starring Robert Pattinson [UPDATED with New Trailer and Clips

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 3rd, 2012 at 8:47 am

The first trailers for David Cronenberg‘s adaptation of Don DeLillo‘s novel Cosmopolis have been delightfully intense.  The movie looks like a return to the strange and surreal for Cronenberg, and a huge departure for star Robert Pattinson.  For those unfamiliar with the film, Pattinson plays a successful banker whose entire life unravels over the course of a single day.  In advance of the film’s debut at the Cannes Film Festival, the first clip has gone online.  It’s as bizarre as the trailers have led us to believe, and the dialogue definitely seems to have the odd, detached style of DeLillo’s writing.  I’m now even more anxious to see how Cannes reacts to the picture.

Hit the jump to check out the clip.  The film also stars Sarah Gadon, Kevin Durand, Jay Baruchel, Samantha Morton, Juliette Binoche, Paul Giamatti, and Mathieu Amalric.  The 2012 Cannes Film Festival runs from May 16 – 25th. [Update: We have added a new trailer and two more clips.]

Listen to Someone Suffer Horribly in an Audio Clip from PROMETHEUS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 3rd, 2012 at 8:03 am

The viral campaign for Prometheus continues to dole out great material.  I don’t know how they’ll top the ad for the David 8 (Michael Fassbender), but today’s new release is still worth your time.  The site Blogbusters received an “audio puzzle”, and the solution was playing the audio backwards.  And when you play the audio backwards, you get a chilling audio clip from the movie.  We’ve already heard the “Get it off!  Get it off!” part in the trailers, but there’s a full minute of terror packed into this thing.  This may be even more effective than if they had provided the visuals as well.

Hit the jump to listen to the clip.  The film also stars Noomi Rapace, Idris Elba, Rafe Spall, Sean Harris, Logan Marshall-Green, Guy Pearce, and Charlize Theron.  Prometheus opens in 3D on June 8th.

Joss Whedon Provides Commentary on New Clip from THE AVENGERS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 1st, 2012 at 11:17 am

The Avengers opens in only three days, but if you need yet another clip, a new one has gone online.  However, this clip has some welcome commentary from writer-director Joss Whedon talking about the fight scene between Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Thor (Chris Hemsworth).  As Whedon breaks down the scene, he makes the good point about how each character wants something different, neither is completely in the wrong, “and that makes it more than a fight.  It makes it a conflict.”  It’s a fun scene and it’s definitely more than simple “who would win in a fight” pandering.

Hit the jump to check out the clip, and click here for the interview with Mark Ruffalo (who plays Bruce Banner/The Hulk) we posted yesterday.  The film also stars Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston, Cobie Smulders, Clark Gregg, and Samuel L. Jackson.  The Avengers opens in 3D on Friday.

Check Out the Opening of THE DICTATOR Starring Sacha Baron Cohen

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: April 26th, 2012 at 9:08 am

The first couple of minutes from The Dictator have gone online.  The movie stars Sacha Baron Cohen as Admiral General Aladeen, the goofy tyrant of the Republic of Wadiya.  The opening quickly sets up Aladeen as a global menace by borrowing footage of world leaders talking about real-life dictators.  However, the comedy really gets going when we see a brief history of Aladeen’s life, from what happened to his mother, and the result of changing the Wadiyan dictionary to make Aladeen the same word for “positive” and “negative”.  If the rest of the movie is as good as these gags, then audiences will be in for a terrific comedy next month.

New THE AVENGERS Clip Featuring Clark Gregg and Chris Evans

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: April 24th, 2012 at 8:00 am

How many more The Avengers clips can go online before Marvel and Disney have basically pirated their own movie?  I would say eight is enough because that was the name of a TV series and therefore qualifies as wisdom.  In the 8th clip to go online, Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg), who has kept his cool around Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), and Thor (Chris Hemsworth), finally gets star-struck when he meets Captain America (Chris Evans).  And where did this clip premiere?  On the Tavis Smiley show on PBS.  The Avengers have now assembled on public broadcasting.  At this rate, we can look for the next clip to premiere on C-SPAN, or maybe even C-SPAN 2.

Hit the jump to check out the clip (which plays before the beginning of Smiley’s interview with Gregg), click here for yesterday’s clip, and click here for a round-up of more clips.  The film also stars Samuel L. Jackson, Mark Ruffalo, Cobie Smulders, and Tom Hiddleston.  The Avengers opens in 3D on May 4th.

New Clip from THE AVENGERS Featuring Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo; Plus a Featurette for Black Widow

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: April 23rd, 2012 at 7:47 am

A new day, a new clip from Joss Whedon‘s The Avengers.  The latest clip features Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) telling Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) why S.H.I.E.L.D. needs him on the team (and it’s not for his dazzling green, angry muscles).

Hit the jump to check out the clip along with a featurette for Black Widow [note: featurette auto-plays], click here for our round-up of the other clips, and click here for the first positive reviews of the film.  The Avengers opens in 3D on May 4th, and also stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston, Cobie Smulders, Clark Gregg, and Samuel L. Jackson.

New Clip from BATTLESHIP Starring Taylor Kitsch and Brooklyn Decker

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: April 18th, 2012 at 7:49 am

A new clip from Battleship has gone online.  The movie features alien invaders coming to Earth but first having to deal with some naval warfare.  I can buy aliens fighting sailors.  I can’t buy a bartender refuses to sell a burrito to a woman who looks like Brooklyn Decker (who plays the film’s love interest) because the “kitchen’s closed.”  And rather than have Decker’s character tell him that the “kitchen” is a microwave, she appears to just stand at the bar aimlessly until Taylor Kitsch‘s wayward slacker comes over to woo her.  It’s tough to believe that this movie is getting poor reviews from its overseas debuts.

Hit the jump to check out the clip.  The film also stars Alexander Alexander Skarsgard, Rihanna, Asano Tadanobu, and Liam Neeson.  Battleship opens May 18th.

Iron Man and Thor Square Off in New Clip from THE AVENGERS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: April 17th, 2012 at 7:12 am

The trailer for The Avengers showed us a glimpse of Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) going mano-a-demigod-o, and now a new clip gives us even more of their super-fisticuffs.  The fight looks like fun, but I’m dreading having to watch it in 3D, which is the only way it’s being shown to press in Atlanta.  As you’ll see, the scene is already pretty dark, and the 3D is going to dim the picture even further.  Oh well.

Hit the jump to check out the clip in glorious 2D, and click here for the clip that went online yesterday along with 20 new images.  The film also stars Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston, and Clark Gregg.  The Avengers opens May 4th.
