Are you one of those assholes complaining that Joseph Gordon-Levitt doesn’t have any range as an actor? Well, quit being a fucking asshole and check out this trailer. Written, directed by, and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Don Jon tells the story of the sexy, suave, and porn-addicted Jon Martello and how he deals with a disillusioned rom-com addicted new girlfriend.

It’s a pretty stellar trailer, which not only demonstrates Gordon-Levitt’s chops, but shows off the pretty spectacular cast that includes Scarlett Johansson, Julianne Moore, Tony Danza, Glenne Headly and Brie Larson. Also, and maybe more hilariously, it includes a movie-within-a-movie which stars Channing Tatum in a faux-film not unlike many of which he has starred in.

Really though, if you’re one of those assclowns complaining about JGL, you probably never saw Manic, Mysterious Skin, Brick, Hesher, or Looper. And you probably should see those, because this guy is the real deal (and this isn’t new news).

Yep. I can think of few other moves that I’m looking forward to as much as this one.

The film opens in theaters nationwide on October 18, 2013.

Faring far fairer than the editing and tone of previous international teaser, comes the US trailer for Edgar Wright’s The World’s End. Where Shaun of the Dead went poked friendly towards George Romero’s Zombie cinema, and Hot Fuzz wickedly skewered Michael Bay’s big city cops by mashing it with awe-shucks rural Britain-isms (and a few classic horror pictures, naturally) it appears that the Philip Kaufman 1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers is the genre film of choice for this, the trilogy capping film starring Nick Frost and Simon Pegg. Some of the jokes still fall flat, but the presentation and premise are better articulated here..

In case you have not heard, J.J. Abrams’ second installment in his version of the Star Trek universe is now in theaters. There seems to be some disagreement in the amount of enjoyment to be had. We parse it out. But we all agree on something much more fulfilling that allows and the audience to breathe (even godforbid, think) a bit. Mike Jeff Nichols’ (Take Shelter, Shotgun Stories) new film, Mud, featuring the ever-on-a-roll, Matthew McConaughey as well as fine supporting work from Michael Shannon and Sam Sheppard. We discuss all plot and character points in both titles (that is your *SPOILER ALERT* folks) Thus, if you want to remain in the dark, please just stop by later this week (Thursday night) as Andrew and Kurt get back to doing the live video version of the show with a double helping of “Game of Thrones” recaps as well as the Watch List that will include [rec]3, Jack Reacher, Great Gatsby and Catch Me if You Can.

As always, please join the conversation by leaving your own thoughts in the comment section below and again, thanks for listening!

It’s been over 20 years since Alejandro Jodorowsky has made a film. Famous for surrealist midnight movie fare (to the point where he is credited with ‘inventing’ the midnight movie with his first feature, El Topo in 1970) that piles images and provocations one top of each other with only the barest brush up against typical genres, things looks to be no different with La Danza de la Realidad (aka The Reality Dance)

It looks like it is going to be a good year for Jodorowsky because the documentary on his infamous aborted attempt to film Dune (before it was handed over to another surrealist, David Lynch) played at Cannes is playing right alongside his latest. Have a look at the trailer for Jodorowsky’s return to the big screen below.

Since I’m posting nothing but trailers today, I suppose I better just keep it going. Did you know there is a remake to Patrick being made? I didn’t. Do you even know what Patrick is? It’s an Ozploitation film from 1974 that’s sort of Carrie in a coma; in which a young man in a coma can manipulate the world around him with telepathy – to dangerous consequences.

I first learned about the original film from Mark Hartley’s documentary Not Quite Hollywood. Appropriately enough, Hartley is the director behind this remake.

After killing his mother and her lover some years before, Patrick is the comatose patient in room 15 of a remote, private psychiatric clinic run by the secretive Dr Roget who treats him as guinea pig in his bizarre studies of life and death. When Kathy, a nurse who has recently separated from her boyfriend, begins working at the clinic, she is instructed to care for him. She is disturbed by Roget’s treatment of him and somehow feels that Patrick is trying to make a connection with her. When Kathy realized that the lifeless murderer can communicate, she is shocked but compelled to prove her theory. Patrick has psychokinetic powers, which he uses to talk to Kathy by transferring his thoughts to her computer. As Patrick’s communication becomes stronger, strange and terrifying events begin to occur. Patrick has feelings for Kathy and his affection is about to manifest itself as a deadly, bloody obsession.

I gotta say I’m not all that excited about the movie and probably wouldn’t have given it a second glance, but two words caught my attention: CHARLES and DANCE (aka Sardo Numpsa aka Tywin Lannister). Now two fucks are given. The film also stars a bunch of hot nurses and Jackson Gallagher as Patrick.

We posted about Europa Report(IMDb) way back when there wasn’t much information about it. We had a trailer knew the cast and that it took place on Jupiter’s moon of Europa.

At the time, the promise of hard science fiction and the discovery of new life was intriguing, but the teaser didn’t totally pay off. Now it seems we’re gonna be closer to the Alien side of story telling. In other words, horror in space. It also looks like that despite the lower budget, it may actually look pretty nice as well. All this is fine and good but I was hoping for something more than just a nice looking horror (aka creature feature) movie. I guess we can always hope and time will tell.

Take a look at the new, FULL trailer below…

I admit it, I’m a sucker for time travel movies. They can be menacing or thoughtful, big budget spectacle or have indie sensibilities. It can be a romance or an action piece. Or it can be humorously touching like About Time appears to be. Almost no matter what, I’m interested.

I’m also a big fan of Love Actually. Which this director (Richard Curtis) was also behind the camera for. He also wrote Notting Hill and Four Weddings and a Funeral. That’s two more points. So yes, after seeing the trailer below you might see annoying whimsy, but I see a fun time travel picture by the guy who did three really great romantic comedies.

At the age of 21, Tim is told an incredible family secret by his father – that all the men in his family have the ability to travel in time. He can relive any moment in his life to try things differently until he gets them perfectly right.

Oh, and of course there is the Bill Nighy factor. Take a look and see what you think.

A few years ago if someone asked me for my favorite director(s), Jean-Pierre Jeunet was always near the top of that list. In recent years however the name seems to have slipped from my head. Partly because he hasn’t been very visible these days (actually he’s always been somewhat elusive – releasing a film about only every four years or so) and the things he has been involved with haven’t particularly noteworthy.

but now he comes along with something new (finally) and I have to say that it looks like it’s full of Jeunet’s signature style and it seems he’s decided to stick with warm charm and delight again (Amélie, Micmacs) rather than dark and brooding (City of Lost Children, Alien 4).

A 12-year-old cartographer secretly leaves his family’s ranch in Montana where he lives with his cowboy father and scientist mother and travels across the country on board a freight train to receive an award at the Smithsonian Institute.

It’s so rare we get any output from Jeunet that I’m always turned on by whatever he’s churning out. I have to admit that I haven’t checked up on him in some time so this trailer came as a bit of a shock that we’re getting a film already. Though it might be some time til it actually hits The States; likely not until early 2014 actually.

The Young and Prodigious Spivet stars Kyle Catlett, Helena Bonham Carter, Kathy Bates, Judy Davis, Callum Keith Rennie and of course, Dominique Pinon.

Matthew Price sits down with Justin Szlasa, producer of the new documentary Side By Side, to discuss the generational transition from celluloid to digital cinematography, and all the things it means. Meanwhile, Matt Brown eats popcorn.

Mondo Tee’s highly varied series of posters on P.T. Anderson are certainly worth a look. Above is the design for Hard Eight, aka Sydney, which flirts with the connections at play in the film, from the iconic opening shot of Phillip Baker Hall walking to the road-side diner. Mondo Tees has made quite the cottage industry out of issuing boutique posters to collectors and fans, and they give an eclectic assortment of designs all of them already sold out, at their online shop.
