Lost in Previews: ‘Elysium’ Trailer 2

The second trailer for Elysium is here and it clocks in at over three minutes. That is why it is being called an extended trailer. I have a pretty good feeling that those of you seeing Man of Steel tomorrow will be seeing this running before it. I would go see Man of Steel just to see this trailer on the big screen. This trailer explains so much more than the first trailer does. It gives Matt Damon's character of Max De Costa a reason for arming himself with all the stuff he has attached

Lost in Previews: The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

If you made it out to the theatre to see The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey last December, then you are probably going to be seeing the second of The Hobbit trilogy, The Desolation of Smaug. Smaug is, of course, the dragon that we see at the end of the first film. Along with the returning cast of Martin Freeman and company from the first film, we now have the return of Orlando Bloom as Legolas and Evangeline Lilly (Lost) as a new elf character, Tauriel, who is not in the book. Lee Pace had a

Movie Review: Kings of Summer

Being a child of the 80s, the entire span of my early life can be told by the great movies that came out in that decade. They are classics. Back to the Future, Goonies, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off… I could keep going, but you get the idea. There is something about those movies that inspire the youth of the audiences they are made for. Even now, when I watch movies as an adult, I continue to compare the movies I saw then to the ones I see now as a grown up. Did they inspire me after I left the

Movie Review: Man of Steel

I am not a comic book aficionado, but I will gladly see just about any film based on their stories and characters. Considering that I have no idea if some detail, large or small, is changed, it makes it much more enjoyable. I am probably one of the few who thinks Superman Returns is a decent flick. I gave Brandon Routh, Kate Bosworth, and Kevin Spacey a chance. The Superman fans got riled up again when word came that the series was being made again into a film. Rather than the film being

Movie Review: This Is The End

If you thought that the Red Wedding on that one episode of Game Of Thrones was bad, just wait until you see This Is The End, the new film from writer/directors Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg. Spoiler Alert: Virtually any popular comedian or pop-culture icon you can think of dies on screen in the first fifteen minutes. You're left gasping for air as the likes of Michael Cera, Aziz Ansari, and Paul Rudd all suffer hellish fates. Not just because it's insane that Seth & Evan cinematically kill all of their friends, but because it's so goddamn funny as it happens. Such is only the start of the pure chaos that resides within This Is The End.

Spotlight on Kansas City’s own Mills Record Company

Here in the Kansas City, the crown champion of record stores is pretty much unanimously decided as being Lawrence, KS's The Love Garden. With it being such a long drive out to Lawrence, a lot of people, myself included would often wait to go every couple of months before browsing around and dropping tons of cash on records. Finally, though, there's now a brand new alternative in the local KC area. Mills Record Co.
