Paper Towns Film Trailer Review

So what is there to say about Paper Towns? Well I find the premise to be a bit interesting since I am into the Mystery genre. I also have not read or familiar with the John Green novel so I am really clueless as to how this film would unfold. Paper Towns trailer gives off a bit of coming-of-age or self-discovery kind of feel to it. Before you find yourself, you have to lose it...






A film about the mysterious next door girl who have shown interest in the seemingly ordinary protagonist and eventually went missing after the fated crazy night spent with him; then the protagonist went on an adventure to look for her but seemingly the clues are leading to him discovering life. If that is not a formula for a feel good movie, I don't know what is. Hopefully Paper Towns has something for both male and female demographics. I am particularly not that impressed with the slew of young adult adult novels getting adapted to the big screen, but I generally keep an open mind and attitude for them at first; either that is a good thing or not. So far the Paper Towns trailer has piqued some curiosity and will "probably" check it out.


How about you guys? Are you familiar with John Green's works; with the Paper Towns novel? Did you like the casting? Do you think the movie adaptation gave justice to the resource material? Will you wantch Paper Towns when it hits the theaters in summer of 2015 or maybe later on its home video (Bluray) release? share your thoughts and opinion about Paper Towns official trailer in the comments section below:

They just wanna have fun... Now after that stupid pop culture reference is out of the way. Looper is a another one of those time travel sci-fi films that pits the main character with himself. The usual question in this sort of films is to who, what, when, and how did he end up confronting the version of himself?

The film's main selling feature is the Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis team up. Next would just be the story and the film's Noir setting. I am not really hyped up about the plot, but am curious as to how will the action and mystery element unfold. Not to mention seeing Willis and Levitt in a solid action mystery sci-fi title. Hopefully it would not be as predictable as I initially think of movies of these genres. 2012 is truly shaping to be the year of Sci-Fi action films.

Although journalism has its rewards, one can not deny that there is danger to it, especially when a journalist is dealing with a controversial and even dangerous kind of issue or news. This is the story of Sound of My Voice as it follows a journalist investigation about a strange cult.

Nope you won't find a man-eating or "satanic" cult here, only those weird type. You know, the type of cult that has an eccentric leader claiming that she came from the future. Is there any mystic or scientific truths to such absurd (if not insane) claims, or it is just another case of a vile manipulative con-artist with devious means leading its blind followers? The only way to unravel its mystery is to actually check it out.

The Raven Trailer Impressions: Edgar Allan Poe Versus a Serial Killer

The Raven is a 2012 thriller films which tells a fictionalized account of the last days in the life of the 19th Century literary author (poet) Edgar Allan Poe, in his pursues of a serial killer whose murders mirror those in his stories. Let's check out this What-If slasher mystery movie here:

The Raven
Plot / Synopsis

Edgar Allan Poe (John Cusack) joins forces with a young Baltimore detective (Luke Evans) to hunt down a mad serial killer who's using Poe's own works as the basis in a string of brutal murders.

When a mother and daughter are found brutally murdered in 19th century Baltimore, Detective Emmett Fields (Luke Evans) makes a startling discovery: the crime resembles a fictional murder described in gory detail in the local newspaper--part of a collection of stories penned by struggling writer and social pariah Edgar Allan Poe. But even as Poe is questioned by police, another grisly murder occurs, also inspired by a popular Poe story. Realizing a serial killer is on the loose using Poe's writings as the backdrop for his bloody rampage, Fields enlists the author's help in stopping the attacks. But when it appears someone close to Poe may become the murderer's next victim, the stakes become even higher and the inventor of the detective story calls on his own powers of deduction to try to solve the case before it's too late.

The Raven is directed by James McTeigue, based on a screenplay by Ben Livingston and Hannah Shakespeare which stars John Cusack, Alice Eve and Oliver Jackson-Cohen. Raven is slated for an April 27, 2012 release.

And who said Hollywood has run out of ideas? Well there are still some "what-if" scenarios they can played with. Like Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, The Raven also feature an iconic historical literary author Edgar Allan Poe and fictionalize his story to become a hero in a potential blockbuster Hollywood film. The question is will it "be" on the case of The Raven?

Luckily the synopsis has somehow tells us that it is not Edgar Allan Poe whose responsible for all the murders copied by this serial killer which gives me great relief. The main protagonists being the main killer has been played over and over again in most films under the thriller or mystery genre. Hopefully it doesn't pull any trick shots and will eventually make him the serial killer after all, because that would suck. The Raven trailer looks pretty decent, and those who aren't familiar with the 19th Century author will definitely get a crash course of some of Poe's usually dark literary pieces. Avid fans of Poe's published works might put this film under critical scrutiny. Hopefully the film will engage both fans and non-fans of Edgar Allan Poe in this fictitious mystery thriller film.

Hollowface will come because someone called his name. So that is what will generally happen with 2012 horror film. The big mystery here is to whether Hollowface got freed or targeting his victims because he was written by the child protagonist, or was the female protagonist has this connection to Hollowface to know how it works?

I am personally intrigued at what this film has to offer. Besides the usual scares, I am conscious about the lore behind this Hollowface. Why entitled "intruders" when a figure like Hollowface is the one only shown in this film? How will mere humans fight off this seemingly supernatural evil, or is it really supernatural? Hopefully it is not too predictable and has a solid story and scares from beginning to end.

Brake Film Trailer Review

Nothing seems to be original anymore. Almost everything has already been conceived and executed. This holds especially true with films. But what must a movie do to somehow get away from the looming shadow of a previous film that it draws inspiration from? The answer is to make it their own by adding new plot twist and more action.



Brake reminded me of 2010's Buried. Both the main protagonists wakes up in a claustrophobic location with little means to connect to outside, then the plot later unveils itself. Although the two filmsmight have the same ideas, they are definitely two different films. Brake is more of an action espionage film which can be seen in the trailer. Besides trying to get out from his captivity which the trailer spoiled, the big question is will the protagonist chose his loved ones or his duty as an agent for the government? With those questions plus a seemingly new take from a familiar scenario, I think that Brake is probably worth of checking out.

Sherlock Holmes - The Action-Packed Novel To Big Screen Adaptation

If you want mystery, action, humor, and adventure all rolled into one movie then Sherlock Holmes is the movie for you. Yes, the well-renowned and celebrated Baker Street Sleuth will be once again adopted in the big screen.



See the classic and popular mystery novel characters of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle come to life in this film adaptation of Sherlock Holmes. The 2009 Sherlock Holmes movie adaptation is a great way to reintroduce to the newer generations and those who are not into books (or novel reading) Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's intellectual and master sleuth Sherlock Holmes.



To Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes followers and enthusiasts this is probably one of the biggest and much awaited movie of the year. Then again there might be some who would argue that this is going to be one of those failed movie adaptations. Well there are two ways of knowing this and that is by (first) watching the trailers and (second) hitting the cinemas for a complete dose of the critically acclaimed Victorian consultant-detective, Sherlock Holmes.

The ultimate sleuth, an icon and a creation of the brilliant novelist Sir Arthur Conan Doyle have inspired many shows which include the Japanes manga and animation Detective Conan by Gosho Aoyama and a couple of television specials and movies.



I have been a big fan and follower of Sherlock Holmes Adventures. Back in 2005 I wished for a modern adaptation of the movie and finally it will soon grace the theatres. for now I am all worked up knowing that the role of Sherlock Holmes will be acted by the award winning actor, Robert Downey, Jr. I can't wait to see how Robert Downey, Jr. play the unmeasured intellect of Sherlock Holmes in this upcomming movie.
