‘Another Earth’ Seems Like A Space Movie I Might Dig
When a friend sent me the trailer for “Another Earth,” I was initially skeptical. I thought, “ugh, I hate when it’s aliens,” which is what I always think about space-related movies. Obviously there are exceptions, but I find a lot of invasion movies annoying, and my least favorite plot twist in the whole world is when — surprise! — aliens were behind the mystery the whole time! (Dear ‘The Forgotten’: die in a fiat.) By the time I got about 20 seconds into this trailer, though, I decided to board the “Another Earth” train anyway, because it seems like it’s potentially heading into a town I want to visit after all.
Awkwardly-proportioned aliens who need a sandwich or two aren’t my style, but the kind of messed up existential confusion shown here definitely could be. In an with daemonsmovies.com, lead actor William Mapother says that it’s not about immediate danger or planetary threat at all, really. Instead, the movie uses science fiction to tell a story about human connection.
“Another Earth” won the Special Jury Prize at Sundance 2011, and it’s now slated for a July 22nd release.
‘The Batman Complex’ Is My Favorite Movie Never Made
The Internet is a magical place, evidence #6930875379046c —
Themanbatman is one of those glorious online fan producers dedicated to “visual creative writing” by chopping up other movies and media to create new narratives. As the name suggests, many of them are in some way related to Batman. In February, “The Batman Complex - Teaser Trailer” hit YouTube, and now the full-length trailer has started making the rounds.
“The Batman Complex” reorganizes several Christopher Nolan films (plus a few other movies on Christian Bale’s resume) and ends up with this perfect Megazord psychodrama experience. If this had been a real full-length feature film, then “The Batman Complex” would be the only movie I’d ever watch for the rest of my life, forever and ever, amen.
Trailer for ‘The Social Network’ as a Comedy
Speaking of The Social Network, I’m really glad a friend of mine just showed me this remix trailer for the movie. What if the movie about Facebook had been summer comedy?
