Trouble with the Curve Trailer (2012)

*
Clint Eastwood's back in the screen this time - someone else is directing. Eastwood has worked with Wolfgang Petersen's In the Line of Fire last 1993, and with the new film his regular assistant director Robert Lorenz is taking command behind the camera. Moneyball type of plot, scenes are quite funny and entertaining! Check this out from youtube:

Man of Steel; teaser trailer (2013)

Before I go into details about the trailer, I really thought that this was the intro of the Dark Knight Rises as shown in the theaters. Very Christopher Nolan effect with "ala" Inception scene in the beach, until i saw the words "NEXT SUMMER"... Then I came to realize it was indeed the long awaited teaser trailer of Man of Steel.



The tone of the teaser, which is its main objective, was very effective and for me made a point already that Nolan, Goyer, and the rest of the gang of the makers of the Dark Night Trilogy are on board with Zach Snyder's visual direction on the lead. Too bad I got too bothered thinking about it, that during the Dark Knight Rises another trilogy was on the verge. I cant wait for this film to be shown next year. Brilliant people behind the camera and another promising actor to represent "Superman". Definitely this will be at par with Dark Knight Series.

Being Flynn (Paul Weitz, 2012), A Review

Being is Flynn is one of my most anticipated films of the year mainly for two reasons: Bob de Niro is in it and secondly I wanted to convince myself that Paul Dano is a really good actor (I've never been a fan in his previews films).

I have been a follower of Director Paul Weitz's films and the transition of his stories and plots. About a Boy would still be my best pick from his line up. In Being Flynn, I find it very interesting for him to use Robert de Niro (the father) as a tool to deliver the tone of the film and Dano (the son) to emerge his acting from the greatness of his co-actor. Inspired by real-life American writer and poet Nick Flynn's Another Bullshit Night in Suck City: A Memoir, the story is about the writer's struggle of acceptance and realization from his dark past. Nick met his estranged father in a homeless shelter, where he was working at that time. He was in the influence of drugs and has not yet overcome the tragic suicide of his mother, whom he considers as his most influential person in his life.

I find this version of this father and son story very rich and the delivery of the acting of the cast was simply wonderful and impressive. It has given justice again to Mr. De Niro's acting career since has been into small roles and insignificant films in the past 5-10 years. Not even the reunited Godfather cast of De Niro & Pacino in Righteous Kill didn't made it successful both in quality of acting and in the box office as well. 

Paul Dano, on the other hand, was also brilliant in the film. Noticeably effective in his role and ultimately emerged himself from Robert De Niro's Jonathan Flynn role which was really a captivating and challenging one for the young actor.

The venue for me (the homeless shelter) where Nick Flynn's job crisscrossed path with his father was perfect for both characters to uncover itself from realization. The shelter symbolizes both characters are in the bottomless pit of their careers yet their discovery uncovers both individuals' talents and capabilities.

I must say I've been intrigue with this type of messages in films similar to October Sky with Jake Gyllenhaal and Chris Cooper. This time both father and son characters' profession as writers whom should be equated with calmness and serenity, turned out having fierce roles and intense performance of both key actors. Ironically, difficult it may seem to be watched, I find their acting blended so well that you wouldn't notice 102mins was that fast.


My expectations were all met, looking forward to another great film for De Niro and Dano, as well as the next offering of the director in his upcoming films.

Get the Gringo (Adrian Grunberg, 2012)

How I Spent My Summer Vacation (or a.k.a. Get the Gringo) is Mel Gibson's Icon Production action-entry this 2012. The movie is directed by Adrian Grunberg which is his feature debut and will be out this May, however this will be released directly to the VOD format or video-on-demand).

Mel plays a career criminal out on a goose chase from a prison in Mexico. A young kid helps his way around the prison, with all the typical Mel action and humor painted all throughout the entire trailer. Obviously a must-see for Mel Gibson fans who wanted more of his "regular thing" after Edge of Darkness.
