The Dark Knight: the first five minutes

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

Every time I see something about this movie, I get a little more excited about it. Today, I found a clip of the first five minutes of the movie, which includes a great intro to Heath Ledger’s Joker. After watching this short clip, it’s not surprising that his performance is already getting some Oscar buzz, […]

New Star Wars Trailer

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

Back in May, I posted the first two previews for the new animated Star Wars movie, The Clone Wars. A third preview was recently released, which shows a little more of Jabba’s son’s capture and more interaction with Count Dooku and Asajj Ventress. I’m digging the trailer, it’s just that every time I watch it, […]

Two-Face in the The Dark Knight?

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

Any fan of Batman lore knows that Gotham City District Attorney Harvey Dent eventually becomes the villain, “Two-Face”, by way of a nasty chemical getting thrown into exactly half of his face, scaring part of it. If you suspected that Aaron Eckhart’s portrayal of Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight was a setup for […]

The Promotion Trailer

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

John C. Reilly rocks rawks. He’s pure comic genius. I never went to go see “Walk Hard, the Dewey Cox Story”, but Talladega Nights was (is) a classic and let’s not forget Boogie Nights (though that’s not exactly a comedy. Just taking a quick peak at his IMDB bio, it’s easy to […]

The Happening Redband Trailer

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

I’m a sucker for redband trailers. If you don’t know the lingo, “redband” (as they say on the internets), is just code for an rated R trailer. Now, I’m not talking about a trailer for a rated R movie, I’m talking about the trailer itself being rated R. It’s called redband because […]

Trailer: Monster Camp

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Trust me, you need to watch the preview for the documentary movie, Monster Camp. Monster Camp features NERO Seattle (NERO stands for New England Role playing Organization). Never heard of it? Me either. NERO is a kind of LARP (Live Action Role Playing game). Yup, I’ve never heard of it […]

Preview Alert: Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Finally, the full trailer and movie poster for Star Wars: The Clone Wars has been released. I’ve embedded the flash version below, but seriously, do yourself a favor and be sure to check out the Quicktime version in HD (found here in 480p and 720p) - it’s far superior to the flash version. […]

The Foot Fist Way

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

Believe it or not, I can’t even remember how I found this video. I think I was looking at someone’s blog, which led to a link, which led to site, that didn’t have anything interesting, but somewhere, tucked on the second page was this video. I also have no idea who Adam McKay […]

Go Speed!

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

If you’re on the fence about going to see the new Speed Racer movie (which opened this weekend), the first seven minutes of the movie might help make up your mind. Enjoy:

If after watching that, you decide that you’d like to remind yourself what the original Speed Racer looked like, check out the first […]

A Presentation: Turning Ideas into Reality

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

I happened to come across a link from a Twitter contact and friend I met through Startup Houston, Marc Nathan. Marc linked to an interesting presentation, “The Force Behind Star Wars: Turning Ideas into Reality,” that is a mashup of User Experience (UX) and Star Wars. The presentation uses George Lucas’ struggles to […]
