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.

The Mortal Instruments City of Bones 2013 film adaptation of based on the 2007 first book City of Bones of The Mortal Instruments series authored by Cassandra Clare Clary Fray as a Shadowhunter

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.

The Moth Diaries Film Trailer Review

So another film adapted from the a novel which feature a Gothic theme, teenagers, and vampires. Hopefully it is more to THAT other popular yet horrendous teenage vampire flick. Well the mystery in this trailer (and probably on the actual film itself) is probably the film's selling point. Categorized under horror, we can guarantee that there is a supernatural force providing the scares in the film, but is it really that goth girl who's behind all of this? That is the question.

The trailer tells what the plot is all about but effectively teases us with the question is Ernessa a vampire or not? What is her part in all of the mysterious events that appears in the film (trailer)? Not really hyped up with this, but if you are into this teenage vampire stuff, mystery and some "handsome" characters, then this film might be for you.

It has long been on both Tolkien and film fans alike, finally it is here... well the official The Hobbit trailer that is. The Lord of the Rings is probably one of the best epic fantasy film adaptation fantasy of all time, and who better else handle tits prequel that Peter Jackson (director of all LOTR Movie Trilogy) himself.

I am not that much of a fanatic but a mere enthusiast of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, but just the mere sight of Middle-Earth's Bree at the start of the trailer brought shiver down my spine. As someone who hasn't read the books, there are seemingly new faces and places shown here and that is just fine. It is a prequel for Pete's sake. But as soon as you see Gandalf, orcs, trolls, elves, dwarves and a silhouette of a very familiar corrupted hobbit you'll feel at ease that they made this prequel right. Said to be just the first out of a two part prequel, this trailer is just perfect for fans of the Lord of the Rings book and film trilogy, and even to the newer generation who wanted to start their Tolkien film experience right from the very beginning.

Unfamiliar with the "Jack the Giant Killer" fairy tale, this one can easily be mistaken as a dark "Jack and the Beanstalk", but further in the video you'll notice that there are more giants and a glimpse of war and these proves that this is not what you first thought of it. It can be a variation of it though.

Yes, another Hollywood film adaptation of a fairy ale and who's complaining, right? If you want to see another fairy tale story we grew with put to film by Hollywood for a more adult audience, then this is just perfect. Some scenes in the trailer show actual actors not blending well with the CGI environment and IO hope this doesn't take anything away from the film experience or hope hey flawlessly blend it while it is on its final production phase. The trailer is a good teaser for he film, providing the mystery of what the giants are like or the conflict between men and giants.

Although the world has not completely rid itself of war, most of its parts have been enjoying peace and freedom. But before all of these came to be, there once were bloody and pointless war.

Goon looks promising as a comedy film. Although the protagonist is your typical generic stupid brute juxtapose to dumb blonde stereotype, he has the heart. This is where it probably shines. Although the book is is based on received mostly mixed reviews, maybe a Hollywood makeover will give the story a successful launch off.

As for the Goon trailer, all I say is that it was awful but decent. Awful in a sense that it generally summarizes the movie and that is a big No! in my book. Decent in a way that although the trailer already spoiled most of the story, it somehow still able to captivate one's attention. How will the protagonist goon eventually become more of an asset as a hockey player rather than just the mindless brawn. With that I can say this trailer is awful and decent as a trailer.

The Wicker Tree Trailer Impressions: A Spiritual Successor to 1973's The Wicker Man

The Wicker Tree is a 2011 horror thriller film which contains various elements from the 1973 horror cult classic The Wicker Man. The Wicker Tree is based on a novel written by Robin Hardy who was also the director of The Wicker Man (1973). Will this spiritual successor be as popular as its cult classic brother? Find it out here.

The Wicker Tree Trailer Review

I am as confused as most of you when I watched the trailer for this film. There are cowboys, abduction, running ladies, a burning three, and sacrifices. In my honest opinion this trailer is not effective to build a hype.

The Wicker Tree 2011 movie trailer impressions film trailer reviews psychological thriller cmaquest


After researching though, an interest sparked. The Wicker Tree is said to be the spiritual successor of the 1973 cult classic "The Wicker Man", not the 2008 unofficial American remake of The Wicker Man starring Nicholas Cage. This time, this spiritual successor has all the blessings of the man who directed the 1973 cult classic for this was also based on his own novel. But going back to the trailer, if you are not familiar with the 1973 film, then this trailer can be a very confusing. It is not "new generation of movie goer" friendly as all it sows are the positive reviews stated by film critics. Given that it is that good, it is still is not enough to make one excited to go see it if ever it gets to be released this 2011. Take note that this trailer is released on December 8, 2011 and there is no exact date when it will be released, so it might be this December or next year. If they are trying to create another cult classic then they might be ale to pull it off. But like other cult classics, this title might be off on everyone's radar and people will only able to appreciate this film after some fifty or so years.

John Carter Trailer Impressions: A CGI-Filled Epic Alien World War with... Humans?

John Carter is a 2012 epic sci-fi film featuring the main protagonist of the Barsoom series of novels by the highly acclaimed pulp fiction author Edgar Rice Burrough (1875 –1950) who also created Tarzan the King of the Jungle. Although here have been various of publications featuring John Carter, this is the first time that Hollywood made it to a grandiose epic of a film slated for a March 2012 release. So what there s to say about the John Carter trailers? Check it out here.

John Carter 2012 movie trailer impressions movie trailer reviews cmaquest


John Carter
Plot / Synopsis

The film is largely based on A Princess of Mars, the first novel to feature John Carter. The novel was originally published as a magazine serial in 1912 and then brought out in book form in 1917. In the novel John Carter is an American Civil War veteran who is miraculously transported to Mars, known to its inhabitants as Barsoom. He is immediately captured by a race of green-skinned barbarians who are 12 feet (4 meters) tall, having six limbs and long tusks. Formerly an Earthlike world, Barsoom has become less hospitable to life over the millennia. As its oceans evaporated and its atmosphere thinned, Barsoom's inhabitants became hardened and warlike, constantly fighting one another to survive. Barsoomian society thus devolved into partial barbarism.

Carter befriends the Green Martian Tars Tarkas and rescues a humanoid Red Martian princess, Dejah Thoris, from the Tharks, a belligerent tribe of Green Martians. He gains the Barsoomians' respect with his superior strength and fighting ability. Carter ultimately enlists the Green Martians' assistance in winning a war waged by Dejah Thoris' people, and he saves all Martians from asphyxiation when the planet's atmosphere factory malfunctions.

John Carter Trailer Review

When I saw the first trailer of John Carter I said to myself "Hmm... okay. This looks like it is going to be a decent sci-fi film". After the second trailer was released this December 2011 my expectation was raised a couple of notch. Do not get me wrong it looks really epic and it is made by Walt Disney but the trailer looks cartoonish and some scenes (in the trailer) does not look convincing (Yeah, as if humans being teleported to fight a Marsians fight is realistic hahahaha). Not convincing that the blending of the live human actors and the CGI seems off, as seen on the very first screen cap on this Johhn Carter trailer review. It might just be the quality of the trailer, but I do hope that this would not be the case when it finally hits the theaters on March 2012.

John Carter 2012 movie adaptation film trailer review


Upon additional research regarding the John Carter 2012 film, I found out that it is actually a movie adaptation of a classic. John Carter was one of the masterpieces of author Edgar Rice Burrough who also created Tarzan. Well, we are all familiar with Tarzan, so this time it is John Carter's turn to introduced itself to the newer generation of movie goers and readers. With that note, I started to appreciate this 2012 Walt Disney title a little more, and now CMAQUEST puts John Carter on its "2012 to-watch list". Hope Walt Disney does not disappoint with this movie adaptation of the 1912 John Carter.

Plot and Synopsis

Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. Part twisted entertainment, part government intimidation tactic, the Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains.
Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, sixteen year-old Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson) and the suspicious help of a fellow Tribute, Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson). If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

In a post-apocalyptic distant future where the world would rather sacrificed a number children or teenagers to avoid countless of lives wasted in wars, comes the general plot of this film. Fans of the books may probably know the workings of this novel inside-out, but if the film wants to build up a hype and attract more film fans, the marketing team has got to make some pretty interesting trailer and that is what the Hunger Games official trailer has pulled off. Engaging musical scoring... check!; a pretty and good actors playing on it... check!; showing the core concept of the film without spoiling to much... check!. So it got everything covered for a good trailer. This is really shaping up to be a good film series with competitive acting, drama and action elements. I haven't read the books but it has given me the impression that it will be a good film, if not a good movie adaptation of the similarly popular novel.

Slated for a June 2012 release, will Snow White and the Huntsman, another darker Hollywood take on an acclaimed fairy tale be a good one or not? Let's find out.

Snow White and the Huntsman
Plot

In the epic action-adventure Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart plays the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen (Charlize Theron) out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined is that the young woman threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) dispatched to kill her. Sam Claflin joins the cast as the prince long enchanted by Snow White's beauty and power. The breathtaking new vision of the legendary tale is from Joe Roth, the producer of Alice in Wonderland, producer Sam Mercer (The Sixth Sense) and acclaimed commercial director and state-of-the-art visualist Rupert Sanders.

Snow White and the Huntsman Trailer Review

There have been various film incarnations of the fairy tale of Snow White but that didn't stopped Hollywood from making another one. This time, a fresh new take on the story of the girl whose skin is as white as snow gets a fresh new darker take in the same sense as Alice in Wonderland (2010) and Red Riding Hood (2011). Catering more on the adult market such films have so much expectations and so much to loose. What does the trailer say about this darker film based on a fairy tale?

Snow Wite and the huntsman June 2012 film title


Right off the bat, let me say that this trailer looks promising. Who would have thought that "that" seemingly awkward female protagonist from that indescribable film (not in a good way) called Twilight, would actually be even considered as the fairest of them all. Well hopefully we don't get that awkward acting on this film. Glad it is not just her but the Mighty ehr... Huntsman is in it as well. So we know that the action part is already covered. And then we have Miss Charlize Theron! We know how wicked that witch is (well in the story), but this time Charlize gives her a whole lot more justice by making her as bad to the bones. We already know what will happen to this story but the journey going towards that finale is what picques people's curiosity. Besides the "Tron: Legacy"-ish type of sound playing on the background and that Kristen Stewart. I have nothing else to complain about Snow White and the Huntsman.

Countdown to the End: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 Trailer

The Harry Potter books and film franchise has brought phenomenal box office success to its author J.K. Rowling and its producers Warner Bros. After almost ten years, the phenomenal franchise about a boy wizards adventures in the school of wizardry will finally end on a two-part movie with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Harry Vs Voldemort


Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Synopsis
The Plot

On 23 June 2010, Warner Bros. released a full synopsis of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I:

Part 1 begins as Harry, Ron and Hermione set out on their perilous mission to track down and destroy the secret to Voldemort's immortality and destruction—Horcruxes. On their own, without the guidance of their professors or the protection of Professor Dumbledore, the three friends must now rely on one another more than ever. But there are Dark Forces in their midst that threaten to tear them apart.



Meanwhile, the wizarding world has become a dangerous place for all enemies of the Dark Lord. The long-feared war has begun and Voldemort's Death Eaters seized control of the Ministry of Magic and even Hogwarts, terrorizing and arresting anyone who might oppose them. But the one prize they still seek is the one most valuable to Voldemort: Harry Potter. The Chosen One has become the hunted one as the Death Eaters search for Harry with orders to bring him to Voldemort... alive.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Voldemort's Army


Harry's only chance is to find the Horcruxes before Voldemort finds him. But as he searches for clues, he uncovers an old and almost forgotten tale—the legend of the Deathly Hallows. And if the legend turns out to be true, it could give Voldemort the ultimate power he seeks.
Little does Harry know that his future has already been decided by his past when, on that fateful day, he became "the Boy Who Lived." No longer just a boy, Harry Potter is drawing ever closer to the task for which he has been preparing since the day he first stepped into Hogwarts: the ultimate battle with Voldemort.

Scott Pilgrim Vs The World - A Video game-like Movie Not Even Based on a Video Game

Scott Pilgrim VS The World looks one of the best looking video game to movie adaptation genre coming this 2010. Uhm, what? Scott Pilgrim VS The World is not even based on a video game? Well hopefully after the film there would be, but it still doesn't count because Scott Pilgrim Vs The World 2010 movie is based on a comic book series by Bryan Lee O'Malley entitled Scott Pilgrim. So what's the deal with Scott Pilgrim?

Scott Pilgrim Vs The World


Scott Pilgrim Vs The World Synopsis

Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera), bass guitarist for the garage band Sex Bob-omb, has just met the girl of his dreams. However, he must defeat Ramona Flowers' (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) seven evil exes, who are coming to kill him.

Scott Pilgrim Vs The World Seven Evil Exes


Scott Pilgrim has never had a problem getting a girlfriend. It’s getting rid of them that proves difficult. From the girl who kicked his heart’s ass — and now is back in town — to the teenage distraction he’s trying to shake when Ramona roller blades into his world, love hasn’t been easy. He soon discovers, however, his new crush has the most unusual baggage of all: a nefarious league of exes control her love life and will do whatever it takes to eliminate him as a suitor.
As Scott gets closer to Ramona, he must face an increasingly vicious rogues’ gallery from her past, from infamous skateboarders to vegan rock stars and fearsomely identical twins. And if he hopes to win his true love, he must vanquish them all before it really is game over.

The Losers - Revenge Has Always Been Sweet Specially if It's Against the CIA

The classic action movie cliche, a person gets back at those people who set him up (incarcerate, almost killed him, slaughter his loves one, etc) in a dramatic tale of revenge. That doesn't mean that "that" cliche does no longer sell, in fact it has been selling quite well back in the days and still up to the present. The Losers, based on a DC Comics of the same title delivers that and so much more.

The Losers Synopsis

An explosive action tale of betrayal and revenge, The Losers centers around the members of an elite Special Forces unit sent to the Bolivian jungle on a search and destroy mission. But the team—Clay, Jensen, Roque, Pooch and Cougar—soon find that they have become the target of a deadly double cross, instigated from the inside by a powerful enemy known only as Max. Making good use of the fact that they are now presumed dead, the group goes deeply undercover in a dangerous plot to clear their names and even the score with Max.
