Pass the Popcorn: 5 Things We Learned from the New Dark Knight Rises Trailer
While The Avengers has set a high bar for what constitutes a summer smash hit, there are still plenty of big name contenders looking to steal the crown of biggest blockbuster of 2012. And The Dark Knight Rises is easily the most likely challenger. We’ve seen speculations and sneak peeks and footage from the film for over a year now, so instead of explaining the newest trailer, or just saying, “Look, it’s a trailer!”, here are a few new facts […]
Pass The Popcorn: “The Poseidon Adventure”
I remember watching and loving The Poseidon Adventure as a child. Even though I was a total baby and never had a very strong stomach for movies that threatened my sense of security, I remember being drawn to the characters enough to brave their disastrous circumstances with them. I was interested to see how the film would hold up years later–would it still be effective, or would it fall victim to that classic sentence, “It hasn’t aged well”? Well, having […]

Pass The Popcorn: The Avengers
It’s hard to put into words what I’m feeling right now. I came home to my wife and had her touch my chest so that she could feel how fast my heart was still beating over 30 minutes after leaving the theater for an advance screening of The Avengers. This is a movie Marvel has been hinting at for over four years and it more than lives up to the build up. It is, quite simply, the ultimate super hero […]
Pass The Popcorn: Whitney Shines In “Sparkle” Trailer
Hearing Whitney Houston (even under the guise of playing a role) refer to her life as a “cautionary tale” is more than enough to give someone chills. It’s the most striking thing about the trailer to the singer/actress’s last role, in a remake of the 1976 cult classic “Sparkle.” The trailer premiered yesterday morning. The original film co-starred Irene Cara and Philip Michael Thomas, among others. This revision stars former “American Idol” champ Jordin Sparks, Derek Luke, and Cee-Lo Green, […]
Pass the Popcorn: “Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone”
Documentaries that chronicle the rise, triumph, and inevitable fall from grace – and redemptive coda, if one is available – of an influential artist are often tricky propositions: VH1’s “Behind the Music” series pretty much cornered the market on this plotline early on, and subsequent efforts to subvert the formula either need to be either particularly innovative in style or to boast an interesting enough story to distinguish themselves. Take last year’s Pearl Jam Twenty, for example: an exemplary documentary, […]
Pass The Popcorn: How to Fund a Time Machine
Jay Cheel, director of “ Beauty Day ,” wants your money. Why should you fork over your hard-earned money to help this relatively unknown Canadian filmmaker fund a documentary based off an allegedly elaborate hoax about time travel? Well, if that intriguing rhetorical question didn’t do anything for you, take a quick gander at this Doc Ignite trailer for “How to Build a Time Machine“… Crowd funding is an interesting concept. It’s been all the rage as of late, with Tim Schafer’s Double Fine Productions raising over 600K in under 24 hours via KickStarter […]
Pass the Popcorn: “The Woman in Black”
A small part of me feels sorry for Daniel Radcliffe (at least as sorry as I can be for someone who, at nearly three years my junior, has already made more money than I will ever see). After starring in the monolithic Harry Potter series for a whole decade, it’s hard to imagine he’ll ever be able to break free from that iconic role. So when trailers began appearing for the new film The Woman in Black, I think everyone’s […]
