BOOKS / “Downtown Owl”
October 3, 2008 by Ted
I’m currently smack-dab in the middle of reading the latest book (and first novel) from my favorite author, Chuck Klosterman, titled Downtown Owl, released a couple of weeks ago. It’s great so far and I can’t recommend enough pretty much anything Klosterman’s ever written…

October 3, 2008 by Ted“Watchmen” Footage Screens
October 3, 2008 by Ted
Much like Warner Brothers and director Zack Snyder did in the months before the release of 300, a screening was held this past Wednesday night in West Hollywood showcasing roughly 25 minutes of footage from the upcoming graphic novel adaptation. The verdict? Everyone will be watching the Watchmen come this spring…
TRAILER / “Australia”
September 29, 2008 by Ted
The “full trailer” (which apparently aired during Desperate Housewives last night) for Baz Luhrmann’s Outback-period epic, Australia, starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman, has just been released online. Any trailer featuring Explosions in the Sky as part of the soundtrack automatically gets a “must see” in my book, if only because it results in automatic chills. I’m telling you, if C-SPAN had Explosions in the Sky playing over whatever life-sucking event they were featuring, I’d watch it 24/7. Regardless, Australia still looks to be a pretty amazing film…
TRAILER / “Seven Pounds”
September 29, 2008 by Ted
Though somewhat vague (which is kind of the point, I guess), the trailer for Will Smith’s holiday ‘08 drama, Seven Pounds, has made its way online…
TRAILER / “Benjamin Button”
September 26, 2008 by Ted
The full trailer for Brad Pitt’s holiday opus, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, is finally here. If anything, director David Fincher (Fight Club, Zodiac) looks to be delivering a visually stunning film, from the cinematography to the amazing effects work going into Pitt’s de-aging process. Hopefully the story itself can live up to the precision and beauty of the assemblage of scenes found here in the trailer…

TRAILER / “Valkyrie”
September 26, 2008 by Ted
I don’t know what bugs me more, the fact that Tom Cruise plays a German Nazi and doesn’t have a German accent – or, if he had gone with a German accent… the fact that Tom Cruise would be trying to pull off a German accent. Both scenarios are (and would be) equally weird. Either way, I’ve heard good things from Valkyrie test screenings (despite the many release date changes) and this trailer definitely seems to back up the relatively good buzz…
