New GODZILLA Trailer Let's Them Fight!

GODZILLA has been probably the most anticipated movie of the year for me. And now, in what will hopefully be the last trailer before the release, we come to find that the movie will feature more than one huge radioactive monster. The trailer comes via the GODZILLA YouTube channel. Check it out below.

New COHERENCE Teaser Will Leave You Wanting More

Back during last year's Fantastic Fest, COHERENCE was the tiny movie that could. It was taking a very simple philosophical/science-fiction concept with no special effect and became one of the most thought provoking movies in a long time. The good folks over at Badass Digest got the exclusive reveal on the new poster (above) and a clip teaser. I also posted the teaser trailer Check them both out below.

Netflix Instant TV and Movie Picks- Jonesy's Birthday Edition!

It's my birthday! Well, Wednesday was, so it's really my birthday weekend because birthdays should always last more than one day. DIFF is now over, and so we're back to our regularly scheduled Netflix programming. I have a combo of films for you that sort of represent what I love about movies: a great drama, a musical, and a documentary.

Enjoy!

SHORT TERM 12
This is a fantastic little film about a young woman, Brie Larson, and her struggles to balance life and work as she runs a home for troubled kids. It's heartfelt and will make you want a hug by the end, but her performance is outstanding.

THE APPLE
This is such a weird musical. It fits into the category of ROCKY HORROR as to how semi-crazy it is, but it ends up being a really fun experience. Plus, it's choreographed by Nigel Lithgow, who is the genius behind So You Think You Can Dance. 

TALHOTBLOND
I've heard about this film a couple months ago, and it sounds like the type of documentary I love. It starts off as a basic story of a cyberspace love triangle, but there are so many twists and turns that, by the end, it sounds like a script straight out of Hollywood.

JERSEY BOYS Trailer Drops!

Musicals are a huge for me. I love seeing live theatre. The Broadway musical, Jersey Boys, has been one of my favorites for years, and now it is making its way to the big screen. Adaptations can be tough because studios want big names for the leads, which can lead to bad musical performances and lame dance sequences. For JERSEY BOYS, director Clint Eastwood made the smart move and cast some Broadway actors for the Four Seasons. What's even more exciting is Frank Valli is being portrayed by John Lloyd Young, who not only originated the role on Broadway but also won a Tony Award for it.

Here's the synopsis:

The film tells the story of four young men from the wrong side of the tracks in New Jersey who came together to form the iconic 1960s rock group The Four Seasons. The story of their trials and triumphs are accompanied by the songs that influenced a generation, including “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Dawn,” “Rag Doll,” “Bye Bye Baby,” “Who Loves You,” and many more.

Check the trailer after the break.
