New Trailer for Kick-Ass
Knowing they have what very well could be a huge hit on their hands Lionsgate continues to churn out media for Kick-Ass. This is a more well rounded trailer than the first but still proves it will be difficult to get across just how violent and graphic the movie actually is. Hopefully they'll be able to release a Red Band trailer in the near future. The buzz surrounding Kick-Ass is off the charts so it will be interesting to see the build up and how the marketing is handled as its April 16th r...

Daybreakers provides a darker option, Leap Year is a traditional romantic comedy, and Youth in Revolt tries to provide the hipper comedy.

The Delayed DVD Rental Period Has Arrived
Not long ago I wrote about a proposal that was being considered where DVDs would release "for sale only" for a period of time before they would become available for rental.

That basically sealed the fate of director Marc Forster and led to speculation as to who would take over the franchise. The name that has now come up is somewhat surprising. Sam Mendes, who is very highly regarded but has ne...
