Continue on to see the posters for I Love You Phillip Morris, Morning Glory, True Grit, and Tron Legacy. Read the rest of this entry »

Trailer Exam | The Coen Brothers’ True Grit
Apple has released the trailer for Joel and Ethan Coen‘s upcoming adaptation/remake of True Grit, and it is a amazing spectacle. Running only a minute long, the trailer is the perfect taste of what is to come. It sets up the story with a sure hand and allows us to be thrust into the amazing images photographed by Coen regular Roger Deakins. The film stars Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, Hailee Steinfeld, and opens on December 25, 2010. Check out the trailer below.
Michael Cera’s Favorite Films
Here at Filmdogs, we have a bit of a love hate relationship with Michael Cera. Although he has proven to filmgoers that he has talent, the jury still seems to be out on his cinematic range. I, for one, thought he was very good in Arrested Development, Superbad, and Youth and Revolt, while also acknowledging that he was completely underwhelming and unfunny in both Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist and Year One. That said, one thing that Filmdogs definitely agrees on is that Cera brought his “A” game and more to Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Well, now we can get a look at some of the films that inspire Michael Cera, and I must say he has good taste. Intervals of Awesome originally posted the list which features some Kurosawa, Scorsese, and Anderson (Wes and P.T.). Continue on to check out the list.

Life’s a Bitch (And Then You Die): Oscar Review of “A Serious Man”
One of the most interesting film experiences I had in 2009, was brought to me by none other than Joel and Ethan Coen. Now, the Coens are no strangers to Oscar gold. In 1996 they won for best original screenplay for “Fargo“, and in 2007 they struck gold in a big way for their masterpiece “No Country For Old Men”. Well they are back in the running again with their most odd ball work of art since “Barton Fink”.
