MOVIE TRAILER: Metallica Through the Never

May 22nd, 2013 Tyler Osborne

Today we get a first look at the new IMAX 3D live concert film, Metallica Through the Never, with a brand new trailer. Now this isn’t just a live show documentary showcasing how old Metallica is; the film also blends live footage from one of their huge concerts and throws a narrative story into the mix.

The fiction portion, starring Dane DeHaan (Chronicle, The Place Beyond the Pines), tells the story of a Metallica roadie, Trip, who is tasked by the band during their set to go and retrieve something for the show. The trailer shows his van …

Take a Wonderful Look into the Making of the Music of ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’

May 20th, 2013 Tyler Osborne

Regardless of your thoughts on Star Trek Into Darkness (here is what we had to say), one thing is for certain: the score behind the film is absolutely gorgeous. Today we are excited to share with you a short 7-minute behind the scenes documentary about recording the score for the film. We get to see insights from music conductor and orchestrator Tim Simonec, who conducted the studio musicians for Star Trek Into Darkness, and he explains the process and wonder of conducting musicians for film. Director J.J. Abrams and composer Michael Giacchino also make a brief appearance and …

May 20th, 2013 Brian Lion

As we all wait impatiently for Larry David to announce whether or not he’ll be moving on with a ninth season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, we at least get to spend some time with the Seinfeld co-creator this August in Clear History, a new film from HBO that David wrote and stars in alongside a killer cast consisting of Bill Hader, Eva Mendes, Michael Keaton, Jon Hamm, Philip Baker Hall, Kate Hudson and Larry David’s Curb comrade, J.B. Smoove.

The almost entirely improvised Clear History is directed by Greg Mottola (Superbad, Arrested Development, Undeclared) …

MOVIE REVIEW: Star Trek Into Darkness

May 16th, 2013 James Shotwell

Film: Star Trek Into Darkness
Starring: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto
Directed by: JJ Abrams

When JJ Abrams first unveiled his vision of Star Trek in 2009, fans and outsiders around the world were taken by surprise. A franchise most assumed had played out its finest years was suddenly new again, and even more importantly (from a business standpoint), people wanted to see more. The end of the film didn’t necessarily warrant the need to continue the story, but one would have to be a fool to think studios don’t leap at cash grab opportunities when they see it. Four years …

Resolution

UTG INTERVIEW: ‘Resolution’ Directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead

May 15th, 2013 Brian Lion

Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead’s Resolution is one of the most legitimately creepy and intense horror genre films we’ve seen in some time. Without any over the top visual effects and a unique twist on the supernatural theme, the sense of reality and terror in the film has certainly resonated with us and the film’s ending has led to some conversations amongst us that have seen it. Overall, we dare to say that it’s easily one of the best horror films we’ve seen in the past few years, or maybe even longer.

We had the opportunity to speak with the …

Watch the Trailer for Marvel’s Latest TV Show, ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’

May 12th, 2013 Tyler Osborne

We all knew it was coming, but you can finally salivate over the debut trailer for Marvel’s latest television outing, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The show will follow the S.H.I.E.L.D. team taking on unusual cases that “haven’t been classified yet – the new strange and the unknown.”

The pilot, which is written and directed by Mr. Avenger himself, Joss Whedon, has no release date, but one can assume it is getting ready for a Fall release on ABC.

From the trailer, we see that the show sits directly in the huge universe Marvel has already created, and the opportunities this show …

Gravity

FIRST LOOK: Alfonso Cuarón’s ‘Gravity’

May 10th, 2013 Jacob Tender

Alfonso Cuarón wowed us all with his 2006 film adaptation of Children of Men, a dystopian science fiction story written by P. D. James in 1992.

Since then, however, Cuarón gave up his director’s chair for production credits on films such as Pan’s Labyrinth, only to sit back down again for 2013′s next Sci-Fi epic, Gravity.

Gravity positions Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, who portray astronauts on a shuttle mission. Clooney as Captain and Bullock as a first-time medical engineer. On a space-walk outside of the shuttle, an explosion destroys the craft, and with it, all ties …

MOVIE REVIEW: Iron Man 3

April 27th, 2013 Grace Duffy

Movie: Iron Man 3
Director: Shane Black
Writers: Shane Black, Drew Pearce
Studio:Marvel Studios, DMG Entertainment

You can stop saying “Stark Knight Rises” now. This expression has been doing the rounds since the very first trailer landed for Iron Man 3, implying that Tony Stark’s third outing would be some kind of serious, redemptive meditation on Marvel’s original [cinematic] superhero and his attempts to adjust to a post-Avengers universe. Well, that isn’t quite the case. It should have been clear from the moment Shane Black was announced as co-writer and director but Iron Man 3 is nothing like any …

MOVIE REVIEW: Oblivion

April 19th, 2013 James Shotwell

Film: Oblivion
Starring: Tom Cruise
Director: Joseph Kosinski

When I was younger, Sci-Fi was the genre I ran to when I needed an escape from the world around me. Outer space, the future, armageddon, it all drew me in with wide eyes and an open mind. What is the point of making movies if you cannot be creative, right? Few genres allow for the kind of open-ended creativity that comes with sci-fi, and when a new genre blockbuster rolls out it is expected that it will come complete with an original story, unique characters, and in more recent times, eye-popping …

MOVIE REVIEW: 42

April 12th, 2013 James Shotwell

Film: 42
Starring: Chadwick Boseman
Director: Brian Helgeland

Biopics on individuals tend to follow one of two formats: Focus on a single struggle/moment of an individual’s life, or showcase a collection of their struggles and accomplishments over the course of several years (or in some cases, a lifetime). We could argue the technical pros and cons of each, but when it comes down to it, which you prefer is just as subjective as anything else in art. What works for one individual may not work the story of another, and the reason for that could be anything from the script, …
