The ABCs of Death Film Trailer Review

Death is inevitable. While to most the concept of death must be avoided as much as possible, others prefer to embrace it... even explore the possibilities. Hollywood has done their share with the fascination of death with the creation of various bloody and gruesome horror titles. 2013 marks a release of another disturbingly good to some with the The ABCs of Death.

I am a horror fan, so this film is very much welcome to my standards, but for the squirmish and the weak of heart, I highly recommend it. 26 directors each given a letter in the alphabet thus creating 26 artistic and gruesome episodes each with their own unique way of how one can die. Like any other anthology, there will be titles that will stand out and there will be some that won't. Specially with 26 titles, there isn't much development like a focused one story film. If you are into blood and gore, curious as to what director from different parts of the globe have in their heads on the concept of death, then it is the perfect film for you.

Beautiful Creatures Film Trailer Review

With more movie adaptations of some of the bestselling titles under the young adult genre, demon hunters with The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, zombies with Warm Bodies and witches with Beautiful Creatures, 2013 is looking quite nice for young adult market. Well Casters seems to be the right term rather than witches as what Beautiful Creatures 2013's film adaptation refer them to.

I am not really big in the romance so I am not really the best guy to refer these kinds of film, but what I can say is that basing from its trailer it does look quite alright. The special effects for spells looks impressive. Let's just hope that the overall story and performance of the actors would deliver.

Oz The Great and Powerful Film Trailer Review

Most of us grew up with the story of Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion and how they defeat the Wicked Witch who have been a menace to the people of the magical land of Oz. People who grew up with the story might have asked the question Ïf Oz was like Dorothy, an ordinary human, what was his story?". Finally after decades, Hollywoiod through Walt Disney Pictures now tells the story behind (or origin) of the Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz.

Walt Disney Pictures has done an excellent job with the presentation of Oz The Great and Powerful official trailer. The magical land of Oz has been beautifully re-imagined in 3-D. The cast of the 2013 prequel to Oz is pretty solid with James Franco as Oscar Diggs (will be later known as the Wizard of Oz). The film can cater to both kids with its magical and fantasy setting, and adults who grew up hearing the story of The Wizard of Oz who wanted to know the origin of the Wizard who helped Dorothy. We'll have another good fantasy film from Walt Disney this 2013.

How about you guys, what can you say about this very timely film adaptation that served as the prequel to both the film and story we all grown to love over the years. share your thoughts about Oz The Great and Powerful official trailer in the comments section below:

The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones Film Trailer Review

Some of the best and unfortunately worst (ahem! Twi...) Hollywood films are based on literary pieces. It is really not a big surprise that Hollywood has shifted its attention to make films based on fantasy and sci-fi books (novels and comic books). They have been doing it in the past decade so why stop now. They are looking for the next big Hollywood blockbuster ala Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, The Hunger Games, and yes... even Twilight. This time they take another bestselling fantasy title with City of Bones, a book on The Mortal Instruments sci-fi and fantasy series authored by Cassandra Clare.

This time we follow a female protagonist in another magical world amidst everyone's awareness. A seemingly ordinary girl (a pretty cute one if I may emphasize) is eventually pulled into a war that she has no idea with. The story looks a bit predictable, but how to lead to that end is what we as an audience is looking forward for. To whether other books under The Mortal Instruments can be made into a Hollywood film all depends on the performance of this film. Let's just hope that we have another good fantasy film at our hands. Something that will be appreciated by both male and female film fans, and not just teenage girls.

Mama Official Movie Trailer Impressions
Mama Film Trailer Review

2013 offers a film featuring a mother's "undying" love with Mama. The only question is, "Is she even human?". Adults are puzzled as to how can two kids survived on their own for five years in the wild. Well, the catch is they weren't alone.

The trailer for mama looks good and features some creepy moments in the film. My only complaint is that they already included what "mama" looks like as seen in this trailer impressions for this 2013 horror movie. Even so, my curiosity is piqued. I am curious as to what is the nature of mama. Is she a ghost, malevolent spirit, an elemental, or what? What is her objective for haunting the guardian of the children she protected for five years? Is there really a haunting to begin with? Some movies play its audience well. They lure you in only to deliver a sucker punch of a twist or plot device in the end or later half of the film. Sometimes it is fresh and engaging, but usually it doesn't which could very well ruin the film. Let's just hope that it won't be the case with Mama.

After a zombie epidemic, R (a highly unusual zombie) encounters Julie (a human survivor), and rescues her from a zombie attack. Julie sees that R is different from the other zombies, and as the two form a special relationship in their struggle for survival, R becomes increasingly more human -- setting off an exciting, romantic, and often comical chain of events that begins to transform the other zombies and maybe even the whole lifeless world.

Warm Bodies Trailer Impressions Film Trailer Review

Zombies have become its own genre in Hollywood now. The usual theme is horror and comedy, but adding a romantic element to a zombie film is refreshing. This is what Warm Bodies did, which is pretty obscure. Well, the idea of zombies is already pretty over the top concept itself, but dying and becoming a zombie only to gain a second shot at life because of love is even weirder even for zombie standards.

Meet R, a zombie who can barely put words together. The trailer starts off at the point of perspective of a zombie which is also particularly new given that they are pretty much "brain dead" or rather they cease to exist when their brains are blown off. Zombies are pretty much the antagonists in this film, but the budding love between a teenage zombie and a teenage girl may give these warm bodied zombies a second chance in life. The only question is how can they convince living humans to reconsider their miraculous change of heart (and appetite) while another set of zombies of the sinister kind exists. My curiosity is piqued with Warm Bodies, I am just hoping that it doesn't suck as bad as that other romantic movie featuring a human and a more popular horror monster.

John Dies at the End Film Trailer Review

After doing some digging about the film and seeing the trailer itself, this sure is one trippy film in the league of Donnie Darko but much more twisted. A film that will make you think... think like what the hell did I just watched.

John Dies at the End has what it takes to be another cult classic. It has all the elements of a grindhouse or exploitation film. It has drugs, crazy visuals, bizarre concepts and ideas. If one would watch this film once it gets released on 2013, you have to prepare your mind to be messed with. Does John Dies at the End and other crazy stuff will be answered when the film hits theaters next year.
