The third Transformers movie has debuted a new trailer. Transformers: Dark of the Moon hits theaters on July 1, 2011.

Director Michael Bay along with Dreamworks and Paramount Pictures have released a new trailer for the third Transformers film. It is a surprisingly subdued clip from Bay, with nary an explosion to be seen, and not a single half naked woman in the entire trailer.

One flick we've been talking about for a while now is Dana Mennie's werewolf driven love story Dark Moon Rising. Don't let the love story part fool ya, though; the movie features Sid Haig fighting werewolves! That premise alone is enough for me to get my ass into a seat to watch it.

‘Bright Star’’ is ripe with the eroticism of a proud woman being seduced by words and undone by emotions. If that’s not worth more than a year of Megan Fox movies, I can’t help you.

I picked up a flyer for the Australian movie “The Dark Lurking” at the market in Cannes 2008. I could hardly imagine that it would be released here in Sweden two years later -- as “Alien Vs. Zombies”! Apparently, that’s what it’s called in Germany as well, so I guess the Swedish distributor didn’t come up with this silly title themselves. However, putting what looks like H.R. Giger’s alien on the sleeve is of course a bad idea. Maybe the image will make people rent the movies, but they’ll be pissed off when that monster isn’t in the actual movie. The movie has also recently been released in the U.S., but under its original title.

The original 30 Days Of Night was a superbly executed vampire movie classic, it had all the hallmarks of an original classic, although based on a collection of graphic novels, the content of the movie was very much a faithful adaptation and whilst this second movie offering was a straight to DVD movie with a slightly smaller budget, it was actually quite good and it continued off from where the last one left off.

The film starts out with a fantastic black-and-white scene set to the soft-focus style of 1920’s and 1930’s cinema. A pretty starlet sits alone in a bar when a young, hungry-eyed producer propositions her to come work for him right that very instant. Absurdly, the woman obliges and quickly meets her terrible, violent fate. The opening credits are cut between flashes of the murder taking place, which is a pretty impressive intro, considering the goofiness that follows. (Hence, negative reviews from viewers understandably expecting the rest of the film to follow suit with the prologue.)

Noted genre specialist Steve Miner (Lake Placid and Halloween: H20) takes a break from horror to direct Dukes of Hazzard star Jessica Simpson in this showbiz comedy concerning a pampered movie starlet who gets in over her head while attempting to land a lucrative film role.

I'm happy to say that despite faux-dark comedies like Juno, the rumors of the "quirky" movie's demise have been greatly exaggerated. What Goes Up starring Steve Coogan and Hillary Duff, brings back the uncomfortably dark comedy with a vengeance. How dark? Well, let's just say that the title is a punn-y reference to the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. What more could you want?

The second “Aliens vs. Predator” film is, like its predecessor, one very dark movie. Not psychologically dark; dark dark, as in, not very generously lighted.



The first film took place largely underground, in Antarctica. The new one, which opened Tuesday, first finds itself in the sewers of a Colorado town, where the title, um, characters are doing battle. And then, after the intergalactic struggle moves to the local power plant, the electricity for the whole region is knocked out. Bring your night-vision goggles to this one.

There were those who called him Icarus. Everyone else knew him as a divorced father working for an investment company. But they didn't know his other side-his dark side. Because Icarus was at his best when he was killing people.

What can I say? There are moments in film history when everything is pushed aside and performance exceeds genre.

Batman Begins told audiences and film critics it was possible to root a comic book generated superhero in reality. Earlier this year Iron Man set out to do the same but lost its balance in the final act. The Dark Knight manages to exceed expectation with a villain so maniacal, his desire for destruction begins to make sense to the point you understand his desire for all out anarchy while you are cheering for the opposition in a war that basically boils down to one side against individual terrorism.

Based on a short story by Ron Carlson and making some noise in the international film festivals, Keith is a love story about two high school teenagers whose lives intersect at a crossroads. The short time they choose to spend together becomes a wish for it to be a lifetime.

Natalie, played by Elisabeth Harnois (Point Pleasant, One Tree Hill), has it all. She’s smart, beautiful, and popular. Her parents raised her with the highest expectations which will gain her top admission to the best colleges. With a tennis scholarship within her reach and a suave Latin boyfriend, nothing stands in her way until she's partnered in an AP Chemistry lab with a “truck geek” named Keith, played by teen pop star Jesse McCartney.

Vanishing on 7th Street (2010) is a horror/thriller film, directed by Brad Anderson (The Machinist), written by Anthony Jaswinsky, and stars Hayden Christensen (Star Wars Ep. II & III, Jumper), Thandie Newton (RocknRolla, Mission Impossible II), John Leguizamo (Ice Age I & II, The Lincoln Lawyer), Taylor Groothuis (Flipped, What If…), and, new-comer, Jacob Latimore. The film involves a small group of people, banding together as daylight disappears, realizing that the Dark is coming for them.

There are many things to admire about Dark Streets, a film noir set against a 1930s backdrop of jazz, blues, and booze. Unfortunately, the story isn't one of them. It's your basic Chinatown-inspired tale of double crosses and femmes fatales, with dialogue that has the form of the classics but not the content.

The career of a disillusioned producer, who is desperate for a hit, is endangered when his star walks off the film set. Forced to think fast, the producer decides to digitally create an actress Simone to sub for the star--the first totally believable synthetic actress. The actress becomes an overnight sensation, with a major singing career as well, and everyone thinks shes a real person. However, as Simones fame skyrockets, he cannot bear to admit his fraud to himself or the world.
