Leonardo DiCaprio Takes NYC In First ‘Wolf Of Wall Street’ Trailer

June 17th, 2013 James Shotwell

There used to be a rumor that Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio could do no wrong when paired together (I still think it holds true). Now it seems DiCaprio has another companion in film, and this one comes in the form of musical accompaniment.

For the second time in a handful of months, Kanye West has been recruited to contribute music to Leonardo DiCaprio’s latest on screen effort. First came The Great Gatsby, which featured music from The Throne, and now viewers have a killer trailer for The Wolf Of Wall Street to make them psyched for Yeezus and …

First ’300: Rise Of An Empire’ Trailer Looks…A Lot Like ’300′

June 12th, 2013 James Shotwell

Did you love 300, but wish there were more boats? If so, you’re in luck. March 2014 is going to be the month all your dreams come true.

After being stuck in movie limbo for years, the completely unnecessary 300: Rise Of An Empire is finally headed to theaters early next year. The first trailer found its way online today, and aside from some flashy teases of battles involving the sea, most of what we see looks an awfully lot like a thinly veiled re-hash of the original. Our male protagonist is now a female, and the set pieces …

Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin Preview New Album

June 11th, 2013 Brian Lion

Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin is one of our favorite indie-pop acts around and we’ve been patiently waiting for a new album since they released Tape Club in 2011, their 26-song compilation consisting of unreleased songs, b-sides, and demos. We interviewed the band back in September and got word that they had been writing new material since Let It Sway released in 2010 but nothing more was revealed at the time.

Today we’ve learned that SSLYBY are set to release their new full-length album one year from the time that we interviewed them, this September 17 on Polyvinyl Records. …

Kanye West Previews ‘Yeezus’ In NYC, Has Justin Vernon & Chief Keef On Same Track

June 11th, 2013 James Shotwell

“I wanna explain something about the title Yeezus, simply put West was my slave name and Yeezus is my god name.” – Kanye West

Now that Mac Miller and J. Cole have had their album leak online in advance of their June 18 release date, all eyes are now on Kanye West’s Yeezus and all the mystery it holds. Though “New Slaves” has been broadcasted worldwide in the last month, no additional material has been made available for fans outside of live performances. There were rumors Kanye held a listening party at the end of April, but very few could …

First ‘Blue Jasmine’ Trailer Puts Cate Blanchett’s Breakdown Front And Center

June 7th, 2013 James Shotwell

Woody Allen has been releasing a film a year for longer than many of our readers have been alive. More often than not these films go on to be amongst the best films of the year, and today we get our first look at his latest potential masterpiece.

Blue Jasmine stars Cate Blanchett as “a New York housewife struggling through a life crisis.” That may seem like a rather dull premise, but the first trailer for the film promises something much greater. The story follows Blanchett through some sort of economic downfall, most likely resulting from the actions of her …

SHUT UP AND DRIVE: Ethan Hawke Shines In First ‘Getaway’ Trailer

June 6th, 2013 James Shotwell

Ethan Hawke is kind of the man right now, isn’t he? Sinister performed well last fall, The Purge opens this weekend, and he’s been garnering all sorts of praise for his role in Before Midnight. Today we get a trailer for another Hawke-lead vehicle (no pun intended), and this time he’s bringing Selena Gomez along for the ride.

Getaway is a stand alone action film opening this fall about a man forced to drive against his will to please an unknown villain who is currently holding his wife hostage. Along the way the man picks up a passenger, and …

Netflix Teases ‘Orange Is The New Black’

June 6th, 2013 James Shotwell

One of our favorite advances in entertainment this year, by far, has been the introduction of original content by Netflix. Blurring the lines between television and film, the company who was once thought on the verge of bankruptcy has quickly jumped to the forefront of the future of entertainment with the periodic release of new, original series. House Of Cards lead the way in February, followed by the werewolf madness of Hemlock Grove in April. Arrested Development returned in May, and today we learned July 11 will see the debut of yet another exciting entry in this new age of …

Laugh And Scream: ‘Holliston’ Returns

June 5th, 2013 James Shotwell

We rarely cover television on UTG, but Holliston is not your typical show. Starring directors Adam Green (Hatchet) and Joe Lynch (Wrong Turn 2), the series follows two aspiring New England filmmakers as they chase their dreams, fall in love, and host a local cable access show dedicated to horror films. The first season was praised by many in the horror community for breaking new ground, and in season two things get even better.

As much as I love the work of Green and Lynch, I was not that impressed with the initial debut of Holliston…

William Beckett Teases “Benny & Joon” Single

May 29th, 2013 James Shotwell

Former The Academy Is… frontman William Beckett has released a preview of his upcoming Equal Vision Records single, “Benny & Joon.”

Posted as a thank you to fans for helping the pop rock frontman turned singer/songwriter reach 20,000 likes on Facebook, our first taste of “Benny & Joon” from the studio is nothing short of exciting. The clip lasts only thirty seconds, but that is more than enough time to share the chorus in all its high-gloss, radio-ready glory. You can stream the preview at the end of this post.

The full version of “Benny & Joon” will debut online …

Latest ‘Grown Ups 2′ Trailer Proves You Can Go Home Again

May 23rd, 2013 James Shotwell

In the words of Bon Jovi, “Who says you can’t go home?”

A few years have passed since Adam Sandler and his crew of equally notable funny people delivered the family friendly smash Grown Ups, but this Summer the crew returns in an all new adventure aptly titled Grown Ups 2. This time, the guys have moved back home to New England, and the ensuing hijinks take place around the natural beauty of Massachusetts. You can view the latest trailer, which reveals a bit about the ‘end of school’ themed plot, at the end of this post.

Jason Sudeikis Smuggles Drugs In First Trailer For ‘We’re The Millers’

May 23rd, 2013 James Shotwell

You know what family roadtrip movies have been missing? Fake families and drug deals.

The debut trailer for Rawson Thurber’s We’re The Millers has found its way online with a story that may actually be a first of its kind.

Jennifer Aniston, Will Poulter, and Emma Roberts round out the family, with Ed Helms and Nick Offerman making appearances …

Michael Shannon Shines As Zod In New ‘Man Of Steel’ Trailer

May 22nd, 2013 James Shotwell

Forget about Ryan Gosling, Michael Shannon is possibly the greatest living actor working today. Those needing proof need only spend a weekend with Take Shelter, The Iceman, and the first two seasons of Boardwalk Empire. Today he finally gets the spotlight in a trailer for what is easily his biggest film to date, and call me crazy, but I think I am about to start rooting for the bad guy.

Man Of Steel has been gestating in post-production for over a year, but it is still weeks away from release here in the United States. Michael Shannon …
