This time around, a new entry from a rather silly animated franchise: Ice Age: Continental Drift. Strangely enough, what I thought was a stand alone cartoon playing before feature length animations now looks to be the trailer for this one. And for those counting, yes, this is the 4th film in this series.
This is probably my favorite version of the Spider Man Theme Song to date…
Obviously The Amazing Spider-Man is the choice this time, with a very unusual release schedule. It hits the big screen tomorrow to try to pull in the holiday audience, and Tuesday releases are not the norm. My first thought was they meant midnight Tuesday night (Wednesday morning, and a Wednesday release date is pretty normal), but when I checked the site the first showings will be at 12:01AM Tuesday morning. Regardless of how offbeat the timing is, I am looking forward to this one.
Looper is the story of a man who kills time travelers for a living, and then goes back in time to save himself. The same himself who is trying to kill him. This is a new trailer for the movie, you can see the last one in my previous blog entry on the topic. And I still do like the tag line, Hunted By Your Past, Haunted By Your Future. Another fine Bruce Willis sci-fi film.
Simultaneously exceedingly cute and eerily disturbing, Ted is about a talking stuffed teddy bear who came to life while its owner (Mark Wahlberg) was a child, and he has never been able to get rid of him since. This is the first feature film project Seth MacFarlane has done since he developed Family Guy, and besides writing and directing it he also does the voice work for the bear.
They haven’t set up the web site yet, but I loved the original Pixar animation Monsters Inc, and am looking forward to the sequel Monsters University.
