For Funsies: DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES Prequel Shorts

So DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES has become one of the most anticipated movies of the summer, edging out GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. Given the fact that in the timeline of the movie, it's been 10 years since RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, there's a lot of important events that occurred in the meanwhile. Thankfully, there's been a series of prequel short films documenting the events of the world since the "simian flu." Thanks Motherboard  via Movies.com, you can check out these short films after the break

DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES Trailer Is Not Monkeying Around

DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES is one of the most highly anticipated sequels to a reboot/remake of the year. Joking aside, I really loved RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES back in 2011 and given this trailer, it seems DAWN will be a pleasant surprise during the summer blockbuster season. Check out the trailer, upload by the DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES YouTube page after the break.

DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES Trailer Drops and Caesar Looks Fierce

It's been almost three years since we got a re-prequel-boot of Planet of the Apes franchise. No one, especially me, expected anything out of RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, but low and behold, I was pleasantly surprised and the film even made my top ten that year. Now, we get our first teaser for the sequel, DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES. Here's the synopsis:

A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth's dominant species.

PARANORMAN Review - He Said

PARANORMAN

Directed by: Chris Butler, Sam Fell

Written by: Chris Butler

Starring: Kodi Smit-McPhee, Casey Affleck, Leslie Mann, Anna Kendrick and Christopher Mintz-Plasse

Synopsis: Young boy that just happens to be able to see ghosts is tasked with lifting a 300-year old curse.

PARANORMAN Trailer Is Probably The Best Trailer Of The Day.

Javi here. As you guys know, I'm a huge fan of animation. One of my favorite styles of animation is stop motion. The sheer patience needed to make a stop-motion animation feature movie is something that I envy and respect, mostly because I don't have that sort of patience. What we have here is the UK trailer, thanks to MSN, for what I'm thinking is the first animated zombie invasion movie aimed at kids, PARANORMAN.

We haven't talked about this movie much, but the talent behind it is impressive. The studio backing it created CORALINE, one of the few movies to not only be a pure delight to watch, but one of the only 3-D movies to actually make me want to see it in the format. Norman, the protagonist, is voiced by Kodi Smit-Mcphee(THE ROAD, LET ME IN), who is such an awesome actor, and there's also Christopher Mintz-Plasse (McLovin), Leslie Mann (every Judd Apatow movie), Anna Kendrick (UP IN THE AIR, 50/50) and John Goodman. Check out the trailer after the jump.
