I still have no idea what is happening in this trailer or where the concept for this film came from, but apparently some of you do. Enlighten me, please! In any case, here is the red-band trailer for Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie, and it is very much NSFW.
“TIM & ERIC’S BILLION DOLLAR MOVIE:
An all new feature film from the twisted minds of cult comedy heroes Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim (“Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job”)! Tim and Eric are given a billion dollars to make a movie, but squander...

A few months ago, there was an eight minute sizzle reel aka really long trailer for David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo that ran before some advanced screenings for films. That eight minute trailer was cut down to make the last full trailer, which is long in and of itself at over three minutes. The full eight minute trailer was released today along with a preview of the score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. You can head to iTunes to preview the tracks and pre-order the score.
The trailer itself is pretty...

The first trailer for The Vow came out really early in June 2011 when the film is not even in theatres until February 2012. I think it was the first trailer for anything with a release date in 2012. The second trailer for The Vow came out this month, and I think it is a much better trailer than the first. It gives a more well-rounded approach to the story. This could be a great romantic film for the girls to go to and I feel there are some men who may be dragged to see it as well. I would not mind seeing it after this...

There has been some negative press on other sites about John Carter. I do not get the reason for it because to me, it looks like a very interesting story and has some great visuals. The cast is not too shabby either. I thought the first trailer was pretty awesome. Although the story is not really explained, I thought everything in the trailer looked fantastic and made me excited to see the film. The second trailer was released today, first on Good Morning America, and now online at IGN. I waited for it to pop up online...

Wow. That’s the only thing that could come to mind at the end of this week’s mid-season finale, Pretty Much Dead Already Dead (PMDA). Wow. What began as a slow second season quickly led up to an epic stopping point for the show, giving us 2+ months to wait anxiously for its return.
Episodes 2-6 were slow. Excruciatingly so. We were given rehashed conversations week after week and some fairly slow character developments and plot movements to boot. The worst part (or best part) was that we were given a false...

So we decided that we would put together a video review and let you know what movies to go see with your family during Thanksgiving. Find out weather The Muppets, My Week With Marilyn, or The Descendants can provide that much need distraction from a good old family discussion about what you have been doing with your life.

It’s Oscar season and the award winning biopics are alive and well, but if you’re looking for the end all, tell all film about Miss. Norma Jean then you may want to look elsewhere. As My Week with Marilyn plays out more like a tabloid story than a true account of what it was like to have a peak behind Marylin Monroe’s curtain.
Shown primarily through the eyes of Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne) an ambitious young man looking to pounce at any chance to work in the movie business. Showing tireless ambition and pulling...

Taxi Driver and Goodfellas had one big thing in common – lovably feisty and gritty young characters. Even though neither of those films were kids movies, the audience was drawn to those little characters because of their story and their drive. Hugo, while being a “kid’s” movie, unfortunately lacks the ability to connect its characters to the audience. Was it just the script that lacked personality, or should Scorsese just stick to child characters who yield adult themes?
Hugo is a young boy who...

Although Lost in Reviews was invited to sit down with My Week with Marilyn director Curtis Smith for an interview, scheduling conflicts made that impossible. The next best thing is providing you with the video of the Question and Answer session with Curtis that took place after a screening of the film in Dallas. Curtis was more than happy to talk at length about the film with the audience, and definitely gives some insight into the film that you may not know otherwise.

I am sure that I had the same thoughts as many other people when I heard a film was being made about Marilyn Monroe. She is such an icon that I never thought any actress today could in any way pull off a good portrayal of her. Then I thought maybe the film would be a certain actress’ take on Marilyn, not necessarily a true portrayal of her. Michelle Williams was eventually cast as Marilyn Monroe in My Week with Marilyn. I remained skeptical. My opinion of the film changed for the better within a matter of minutes...
