Premiering exclusively on Yahoo, the new Hellboy II trailer is burning up the interwebs and has me (as my therapist puts it) in an "overly excited state bordering on rabid psychosis". In other words, I would kill, die, or maim to see this movie even a single minute before anyone else.
I was initially skeptical about the upcoming Hellboy picture, as it involves a completely new tale written specifically for the film by the director himself, Guillermo del Toro. Of course, that was before I saw Pan's Labyrinth, and before I saw this trailer. Now, I would literally walk miles over broken glass, barefoot and blistering in the hot Guadalajaran sun, to simply bask in the light of his countenance.

Today, Pixar released the first full length US trailer for their upcoming blockbuster Wall-E, the story of a lonely but loveable trash robot left behind on Earth to clean up the mess the humans left behind. The movie looks stunningly beautiful (which should go without saying for a Pixar movie) and judging by the trailer, it has the one thing that lifts Pixar movies above the other studios: a whole lotta heart.
The star of the movie, Wall-E is at once both cute and vulnerable, something generally uncommon in a science fiction movie. While his character design may remind people more of Johnny Five from Short Circuit, Wall-E seems to be channeling the personality of another soulful title character: 1982's "E.T."

Warner Brothers surprised fans everywhere today when they released not one, but TWO brand spankin' new international trailers for the upcoming live-action Speed Racer movie.
Helmed by the Wachowski Brothers (Wachowski Siblings, if you believe the internet rumors ) and shot using state-of-the-art digital technology to create a more cartoon-ish look, Speed Racer is one of the most highly anticipated films of the upcoming year.
The trailers have drawn mixed emotions from fans of the show and of the filmmakers, some showering praise on the new look and style, others saying that it looks like a "big fat steaming dump of a movie".
And while I may still be clinging on in the former group, this movie does have a growing "craptastic" feel to it. |

The results are in, but the epic struggle between man and machine continues.
In last months Oscar prediction article, entitled Oscars 2008: Who SHOULD Win and Who WILL Win, I pitted my warm-blooded contrarian human brain against the cold hard logic of computer calculated statistics to see who could more accurately pick Academy winners.
I suppose I could have used them to help cure cancer or solve world hunger, but this was much more fun.
So how did I do? Well, the battle between neurons and networks was a hard-fought one, with both sides taking heavy casualties. In the end, after the smoke is cleared, one thing is certain: there's still hope for all mankind.

That's right, it's Oscar season again. All the pageantry, all the pomp, all the sycophantic compliments and obviously rehearsed "off-the-cuff" acceptance speeches. All the inane Hollywood chatter and sub-sincere "you deserve it"s. An orgy of self-congratulatory celebration for the rich and famous.
So, I thought to myself, why not join in?
The list of nominated actors, actresses, and films was released last week on the official site (http://www.oscars.com/nominees/), and I've poured over them to bring you my choices for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Film, and so on and so forth.
But that's not all! I've also done thorough research into the last 10 years of Academy Award winners to find the common patterns inherent in each category. Now, instead of only stating who we'd like to win, we can actually predict who will ACTUALLY walk away with the little golden statue at the end of the night.
Does it work? I guess we'll have to wait and see.
