Oz The Great and Powerful
Plot / Synopsis

Disney's fantastical adventure "Oz The Great and Powerful," imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum's beloved wizard character.

When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he's hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful wizard but into a better man as well.

Prometheus Film Trailer Review

Fans to the Aliens film franchise might have mixed emotions with this rumored prequel to alien. The film/trailer might feature some familiar elements to the popular Alien film series, but fans should also understand that it is set prior to the cult classic Alien film which only means one thing, no xenomorphs (monstrosities for all Alien film series), but that doesn't mean that there won't be any horrors that awaits the unfortunate team set on this perilous mission.



It as that very familiar "Inception" music playing in the Prometheus movie trailer's background which either relates to Inception's "epicness" or just some annoying to those who think that this doesn't even come close. In a way the trailer works, both for Alien film fans and to the newer generation of movie goers. What could be the horror behind all of these? Well, this is just the first official trailer for the film, and it is a long way to go before its June "Summer" 2012 release, so it is expected that they will release more and unfortunately spoiler-full trailers. Hopefully they keep that mystery in tact. There aren't many mainstream sci-fi films created nowadays and Prometheus is a just perfect for sci-fi film fans.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Film Trailer Review

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.



Bilbo Bagins holding out the Elvish Knife "Sting", Frodo's Sword in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy that glows a blue light when orcs are near.

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.

The Thing Trailer Impressions: It's The Thing All Over Again

If there is one thing that we could either be thankful or hateful towards Hollywood, it is for doing remakes or reboots of classic films. This time Universal Pictures makes a prequel to the popular 1982 sci-fi horror classic "The Thing", with "The Thing".



The Thing
Plot

Taking place three days before the events of the John Carpenter 1982 film. Paleontologist Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) joins a Norwegian scientific team that has stumbled across a crashed extraterrestrial spaceship buried in the ice of Antarctica. They discover a creature that seems to have died in the crash eons ago.

When an experiment frees the alien from its frozen prison, Kate joins the crew's pilot, Carter (Joel Edgerton), to keep it from killing and imitating them one at a time, using its uncanny ability to mimic any life form it absorbs through digestion, and potentially reaching civilization.

Trailer Reviews

Although people who have seen the 1982 classic "The Thing" knows what the creature (antagonist) look like, the teaser doesn't show it in action and that is a good thing. We personally think that trailers must not give everything away but piques movie goers interest to go see it. Hollywood has been guilty of showing too much on their trailers and luckily "The Thing" doesn't fall under such terrible marketing campaign. Well let's keep our fingers crossed that it would still do on future teaser releases.



Being a prequel and all, it is nice to see what is the origin story of another horror classic. Also as being a prequel, you might already have an idea on the outcome of the film, but it would still be interesting to watch The Thing all over again.
