Premium Rush Trailer (Ian)...

Premium Rush Trailer

(Ian) I’m a big Michael Shannon and Joseph Gordon-Levitt fan, but this looks pretty ridiculous, right?

Is Matthew McConaughey trying to become a REAL actor?

Sat, 26 May 2012 16:27:39 -0500

(Ian) Everyone’s favorite shirtless leaner, Matthew McConaughey stars in films being released in 2012 by such prestigious directors as William Friedkin, Jeff Nichols, Steven Soderbergh and or course Richard Linklater. Is McConaughey finally attempting to become an interesting actor or is this just an aberration? I’m all for an interesting McConaughey.

Anyone think he will continue making interesting films beyond 2012? Or is it back to the Rom-Com trash?

Friday is for Film!

Fri, 25 May 2012 19:16:26 -0500

(Ian) I’m spending my Friday night alone with some red wine and Bernardo Bertolucci’s 1971 film THE CONFORMIST. Beat That!

Anyone else watching a film for Friday? What are you viewing?

A Top 10 of 2011 in May???

Mon, 21 May 2012 17:57:52 -0500

(Ian) A friend of the show and sometime guest panelist “Populist” Ian from Minnesota has thought long and hard and finally released his Top 10 Films of 2011. I urge you to head over to his blog There Will Be Words to view the list and his quick thoughts on the films. He gives a lot of love to a number of films that didn’t make many of The Flicksation Podcast regular panelists Top 10’s, but deserve mentions. (His list and my own only cross once, but remember BOTH IAN’S AGREE WAR HORSE STUNK!)

The Master Teaser Trailer (Ian)...

Mon, 21 May 2012 17:46:46 -0500

The Master Teaser Trailer

(Ian) Here’s the teaser trailer for my most anticipated film of 2012, Paul Thomas Anderson’s THE MASTER. I say give the Best Supporting Actor Oscar to Joaquin Phoenix NOW. (Probably Best Pic, Best Director for PTA and toss in Best Actor for Phillip Seymour Hoffman as well) I love that the teaser gives almost nothing away, yet has me salivating.

THE MASTER opens October 12th.

Who else is salivating???

The Campaign Trailer (Ian) Will Ferrell...

The Campaign Trailer

(Ian) Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis square off as competing southern politicians. Oh and there is baby punching, so I’m in. This releases on August 10th.

The Gangster Squad Trailer (Ian) The cast...

Thu, 10 May 2012 11:59:42 -0500

The Gangster Squad Trailer

(Ian) The cast here is remarkable and the trailer makes me positive it will be highly entertaining. With Ruben Fleischer (30 Minutes or Less, Zombieland) directing I’m obviously a little worried. I think it could be great or so bad it’s funny, but I hope for the former. Penn looks to be going ridiculously over the top and the voice Gosling is using also cracked me up. THE GANGSTER SQUAD has no release date yet as it’s late 2012 one has been yanked for the time being.

I’m excited, anyone else?

Argo Trailer (Ian) I think Ben...

Tue, 08 May 2012 12:26:20 -0500

Argo Trailer

(Ian) I think Ben Affleck is 2 for 2 as a director with GONE BABY GONE and THE TOWN to a lesser extent. ARGO, which releases Oct 12th sports a fantastic cast and looks really interesting based on this trailer. I think it’s going to be a tricky tone to balance, but if Affleck can do that, it looks like a good view and a potentially populist Oscar Contendor. Did this trailer get anyone else excited about ARGO?

The Watch Trailer (Ian)...

Fri, 04 May 2012 17:10:38 -0500

The Watch Trailer

(Ian) After a name change from NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH to THE WATCH as a way of distancing itself from the George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin situation, we finally get the full red-band trailer for the film. It opens July 27th and The Flicksation Podcast will be reviewing it.

Mansome Trailer (Ian) I...

Fri, 04 May 2012 01:22:20 -0500

Mansome Trailer

(Ian) I have a feeling Morgan Spurlock’s latest, MANSOME, produced by Jason Bateman and Will Arnett is going to leave much to be desired. I like Spurlock a lot, but this looks like to weak Docs in a row. I hope I’m wrong.

Beasts of the Southern Wild Trailer

This blew everyone away at the Sundance Film Fest and now finally got a trailer. I’m interested to see it whenever it gets its release
