Lawless The latest from director John Hillcoat (The Proposition, The Road) is set to compete for the Palme d’Or at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. Lawless is based on the historical novel, The Wettest County by Matt Bondurant, which follows the story of Bondurant’s grandfather and his brothers running a bootlegging business in Virginia during Prohibition and the complications that […]
Today I’m going to try something a bit different. Over the past few weeks I’ve missed some trailers, haven’t had time to post others, or was forced to skip those that debuted on an inconvenient day. This just will not do. There are too many and we must watch them all! How else are we […]
Looper (Teaser Countdown) If you haven’t heard about this one get ready because it’s about to become a top priority in your movie going future. Director Rian Johnson, the man behind Brick and The Brothers Bloom, is about to introduce Looper. The sci-fi thriller follows a young anti-hero, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, working as a hit […]

Some consider this to be the birthplace of […]
Due to the shear magnitude of trailers, I have enlisted the help of the one and only founder of this website, Chris Baggiano, to finish out the post for today. Don’t worry I’ll be releasing a part 2 tomorrow featuring the rest of the trailers that have a certain southwest theme. Prometheus (Full Trailer!) On […]
21 Jump Street (Extended Clip) The time constraints on trailers (typically 2.5 mins) usually makes it easy to distinguish the good from the bad. This red band “extended clip” cheats the system by having a runtime of 4:43, allowing for more time and space for the jokes to breathe. That said, this is as effective […]
