Man of Steel trailer


Caught the Man of Steel trailer before The Dark Knight Rises.  OK...so how many times are the powers that be gonna reboot Superman, really?!!  This trailer kind of intrigued me...I dig the cinematography, but I wonder if the feel is just for the trailer.  And if not...how can they counteract the inherent corniness of Superman??  WE SHALL SEE.

Drive


I finally saw Drive and I really loved it.   Loved the soundtrack...I adore anything 80s throwback.  I especially liked Chromatics - Tick of the Clock (I'm already something of a Chromatics "fan").  The track is a lot quieter in the movie but it's great:




One thing......y'yknow, I'm not Carey Mulligan's biggest fan.  After seeing her in this and in Shame I'm really just not feelin' it.  Although I did think she was fine in An Education and I have high hopes for her in The Great Gatsby....

The Dark Knight Rises


Yep, I saw The Dark Knight Rises last night.  Because of all the speculation on the internets I was really prepared for the worst....so it turned out to be alright.

Oz the Great and Powerful trailer


Really looking forward to this.

Petit Nicolas trailer


I've been on the other side of the country doing a work training, so no time for movies! But...this looks like it may be cool...Wes Anderson meets The Goonies?  It kinda has an American vibe to me.

Ma Mère

My Mother in a nutshell: nasty French incest movie based on a Georges Bataille story.

But damn, I've now discovered Louis Garrel, who is SO BEAUTIFUL.

Dark City


Dark City ... I liked this move.  It's good....great. I just can't help thinking it could've been awesome.  There's just something(s) missing that I can't really put my finger on.  A little more...development?  A few tweaks to the story?  I'm not sure. 

Oh, and the last fight scene is over the top, ridiculous, hilariously bad.
