Movie on the Radar - Capitalism: A Love Story

Love him or hate him, all Michael Moore really wants to do is expose the truth. Sure, his films can be a little (ok, very) one-sided but that doesn't mean we can't appreciate them for what they are. The reviews are already starting to pour in on his newest film, Capitalism: A Love Story. Variety says, "By returning to his roots, professional gadfly Michael Moore turn… Continue

Movie on the Radar: Youth in Revolt

Right when I saw this trailer, I had all these flashbacks of laughing out loud, reading a book by the same name. I remember my sister giving me this book almost a decade ago. It's a story about a horny 14 year old and his quest to lose his virginity. Apparently, Michael Cera is bringing the story back to life with this new movie. If you have some time this Summer and you want to remember what 14 feels like again, I suggest you pick up… Continue

Upcoming movie - District 9

Entertainment Weekly say that District 9, opening August 14th, is "the must-see movie of the summer". Based on the trailers I've seen I tend to agree. This is not your usual sci-fi shoot-em-up. There's no big stars and the budget was only $30 Million. What it does seem to have though is an intelligent story - an allegory about apartheid. I know that I'll definitely be lining up to see this one. The official site for the movie is… Continue

The Leaked Alice in Wonderland Trailer

Here's the trailer to Alice in Wonderland. The movie is due for release on March 5, 2010. Apparently Tim Burton was supposed to show this preview tomorrow at San Diego’s Comic-Con but speculation is that it leaked early. Disney forced YouTube to take the video down.

Movie on the Radar: Despicable Me

This was too cute of a trailer not to share. Though the movie comes out July 9, 2010 (yes, almost a year from now), we can enjoy a few chuckles now. Called Despicable Me, the story apparently revolves around a criminal mastermind named Groo who has been stealing world landmarks and now also plans to steal the moon. Isn't it interesting that the trailer plays more like a short film than a typical trailer? The voice cast includes Steve Carrell, Danny McBride, Jason Segel… Continue

Vincent: An Awesome Short Film By Tim Burton

If you ever had any doubt that Tim Burton wasn't a great storyteller, you haven't seen this older, short film called Vincent. With all that technology out there, a movie's story can often get lost, buried in special effects. It's nice to know that a sweet film like this exists, where a kid's imagination is explored and where, in the first few seconds, you can fall in love with a little boy named Vincent. The film is a humorous look at a suburban boy named Vincent who reads Ed… Continue
