So, of course, besides running Lonely Reviewer.com, I’m also a filmmaker in my own right. And I recently participated in an fake trailer contest here in Boston, at the Brattle Theatre. The subject was “Labor Day,” and I created this fake trailer with a vague story and a lot of visual effects. Our video won [...]

I guess you can call it a teaser trailer, as its mostly a montage of Robin Hood to modern rock music. I can’t stand these period pieces that are presented with modern music. I mean, I can say with almost 100% certainty we’ll only see this in the trailer, but come on Hollywood, you want [...]

Get it while it lasts, someone has uploaded the full Prince of Persia trailer to Youtube. Apparently it premiered the other night in the UK.

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen Mel Gibson in a major film role, I believe the last was Signs in 2002. ‘Edge of Darkeness,’ from Casino Royale director Martin Campbell looks like a return to form for the controversial actor/director.
