Watch a Japanese Trailer for 'Diana' Starring Naomi Watts
1 hour ago
As Bleeding Cool points out, this new trailer for Oliver Hirschbiegel's Diana is primarily interesting as a comparison piece to the previously released domestic version. Princess Diana (played by Naomi Watts) was undoubtedly a global icon, but how will the film based on the last two years of her life be sold across the worldc Check out the Japanese trailer directly below and below that is the originally released domestic teaser. Diana doesn't currently have a release date, but I expect it will have a fall festival premiere, followed by an Oscar season release. »

Watch a New 'Inside Llewyn Davis' Trailer
1 hour ago
Whatc Quitc Just existc CBS films has released a new Inside Llewyn Davis trailer, the upcoming movie from Joel and Ethan Coen that doesn't hit theaters until December 6, but a movie you should get excited about right now. To quote my review from Cannes this past May, "Inside Llewyn Davis is rich in mood, character and atmosphere that may one day be remembered as an all American classic. Not a single piece is out of place, not that you'd necessarily notice as you'll be too busy drinking it all in." The film follows a week in the life of a young folk singer (Oscar Isaac) as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961. Guitar in tow, huddled against the unforgiving New York winter, he is struggling to make it as a musician against seemingly insurmountable obstacles -- some of them of his own making. Alongside Isaac, the film co-stars Carey Mulligan, »

'The Lone Ranger' (2013) Movie Review
2 hours ago
The Lone Ranger is deathly dull, which is quite a shame as it not only has a decent conceit for a Western, but also has an obvious appreciation for the history of the Western and films in general. The main problem arises in the tonal imbalance resulting in a bloated effort that wants to not only play in the sandbox of history, but also satisfy modern day audiences with massive set pieces, explosions and misfired attempts at comedy. Director Gore Verbinski showed a strong love of Westerns with his 2011 animated feature Rango and its no surprise he shows a similar affinity here, though much of his focus is on the work of Buster Keaton in the 1926 silent classic The General. Unfortunately, when you mix the comedy of a silent classic with the bombast of today's blockbusters, shot in the same tonal wackiness of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, you »

These 'Riddick' Posters Sure are Dull
4 hours ago
Above are the first three posters for Vin Diesel's return as the title character in Riddick and below is the newest poster for the film and I'm not sure they could look any more generic and uninteresting. The new film is due out September 6 and finds Riddick (Diesel) stranded on a sun-scorched planet, fighting for survival against alien predators where his only way off is to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty. Universal will bring Riddick to Comic Con on Friday, July 19, to what will undoubtedly result in plenty of screaming and hyperbole on Twitter. I have to assume the new Twitter feature, Vine, will be alive with six second snippets from the footage shown at Comic Con this year. Oh boy. »
