Movie Review: “2012”

DateSaturday, November 14, 2009 at 12:46AM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

Seen on: November 13, 2009

The players: Director: Roland Emmerich, Writers: Roland Emmerich, Harald Kloser, Cast: John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt

Facts of interest: None, really.

The plot: As the world comes to an end in the year 2012, a group of brave people try to survive the cataclysms surrounding them. 

Our thoughts: Roland Emmerich’s latest apocalyptic big-screen spectacle works best as a comedy. The film boasts a number of excellent laughs, and that’s the main reason I found it moderately enjoyable. Other than that, it’s nothing more than yet another utterly ridiculous, overblown sci-fi action piece about the end of the world.

New clip from Emmerich's '2012' debuts online

DateTuesday, October 13, 2009 at 8:04PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

2012

A brand-new clip from Roland Emmerich's upcoming apocalyptic action spectacle "2012" has debuted online, and it features John Cusack and Woody Harrelson sharing a little chat. Check it out after the jump.

The film focuses on a little group of people struggling with the large-scale cataclysm ensuing from the end of the world in 2012. Chiwetel Ejiofor, Thandie Newton, Danny Glover and Amanda Peet co-star.

No, you won't get to see any big action or destruction in this short clip, but you get a funny Woody Harrelson telling and showing Cusack's character he knows the big apocalypse is coming for sure.

Movie Review: “Zombieland”

DateFriday, October 2, 2009 at 1:22PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

Seen on: October 2, 2009

The players: Director: Ruben Fleischer, Writers: Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Cast: Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Abigail Breslin, Amber Heard

Facts of interest: Fleischer said he found his inspiration for this in "Shaun of the Dead."

The plot: A group of humans travel across the country trying to survive the zombie mayhem surrounding them.

Our thoughts: Do yourself a favor and buy a ticket to “Zombieland.” I promise you won’t regret it, because Ruben Fleischer’s fast-paced comedy boasts big laughs, highly entertaining zombie action, and a bunch of superb performances guaranteeing 80 minutes of simple, yet compelling big-screen fun. Yeah to that!

Sony Pictures picks up 'Defendor' at Toronto

DateWednesday, September 16, 2009 at 8:03PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

You will soon see Woody Harrelson run around as a self-made superhero on the big screen, and that's great news. No, I haven't seen Peter Stebbings' "Defendor," but a trailer for the film debuted two weeks ago, and it really got me intrigued.

Sony Pictures picked up the distribution rights for the U.S. and most of the world for "Defendor" at the Toronto Film Festival, and this in a seven-figure deal, according to Variety. I'm really glad this went down, because "Defendor" looks darn interesting.

Woody Harrelson in funny 'Defendor' trailer

DateThursday, September 3, 2009 at 2:07PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Woody Harrelson in Defendor

Peter Stebbings' "Defendor" starring Woody Harrelson will be screening at the Toronto Film Festival this month, and a trailer for the comedy/drama has debuted online. Check it out after the jump; it's really intriguing and occasionally quite funny as well. I can only hope the flick will find a distributor and we'll get to see it in theaters soon enough.

Harrelson plays Arthur Poppington, a man who turns into a self-made superhero at night and runs afoul of the law when he lays a beating on an undercover cop who was abusing a young prostitute named Kat. Always the hero, Arthur takes Kat to his secret hideout hoping she can help him find his arch-nemesis, the diabolical Captain Industry.

Zombieland

Count Ruben Fleischer's upcoming action adventure "Zombieland" among the films I'm looking forward to most this fall. The first trailer for the comedy totally won me over, and to be honest, this thing just looks darn original and hilarious.

New red band 'Zombieland' trailer delivers!

DateWednesday, August 5, 2009 at 11:31AM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson in Zombieland

Here's a brand-new red band trailer for Ruben Fleischer's upcoming action comedy "Zombieland," and to be honest, it's just ridiculously hilarious. Yeah, it looks bloody great.

In the film, a group of survivors team up to fight the zombies after a nasty plague ravages through America. Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Amber Heard and Abigail Breslin star.

While the previous trailer offered a sneak peek at the film's sense of humor, this one offers viewers a bunch of bloody moments; wildly funny ones at that.

I know we've seen so many zombie-related films during the past years, but just judging by this footage, "Zombieland" still looks like a refreshing vehicle driven by solid performances and plenty of silly, entertaining big-screen fun.
