  • Red Bull: The Art of FLIGHT

    // August 8th, 2011 // No Comments » // Movies


    Ever see that Red Bull commercial where the rally car launches off a ramp at ninety miles per hour only to soar over a river and land, with ease, three-hundred feet away on the other side of a pier, to which the camera, slowly zooming in, reveals the driver, Travis Pastrama, who casually welcomes the viewer to the world of cars flying over rivers? The video you are about to watch is just like that.


    As it turns out, the guys over at Red Bull have taken it upon themselves – all that leftover juice has to go somewhere – to bring Travis Pastrama’s world to the snowy mountaintop. This short preview of the film The Art of FLIGHT, a documentary made possible by Red Bull, boasts images of snowboarders jumping out of helicopters onto avalanche-ridden mountaintops, images through which death-defying twists and turns are captured in mind-bending sublimity, the elements of an all-around fearlessness, however unfamiliar to the eye. As a matter of fact, it is claimed in the video that “snowboarding will change forever.” You must see for yourself.



    The Art of FLIGHT is due to hit theatres September 7th. For more information, click here.

  • Trailer: The Dark Knight Rises

    // July 24th, 2011 // No Comments » // Movies


    That’s right, ladies and gentleman: the famous Bruce Wayne is back. To be sure, it seems like he might actually be fighting this time. For more than your everyday sense of fatigued justice, no less! Motivation now crawling beneath the skin, thoughts all ablaze; your favorite knight is saturated in anger. And from the looks of it the Batman has only one option – singed though the path remains.


    Will he rise above the fray, you ask? If you can hold onto your horses until mid-2012, you’ll have your precious answer.



  • Trailer: Rango

    // July 2nd, 2010 // No Comments » // Movies





    Rango is about a household lizard who becomes lost in the desert. The trailer doesn’t show us much more then a hot and bothered amphibian zigzagging around in a shrieking panic; but the animation is just stunning. From Rango’s Hawaiian shirt to the guitar playing amigo-owls: the visuals look gorgeous. Overall, we have high hopes for Rango; after all, Depp will be reunited with director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of Carribbean).  This dynamic duo notwithstanding, there is reason to be nervous. These days, Pixar and Dreamworks are the big players in animated films. But the only film from Nickolodeon Pictures which has developed any kind of revenue is Bolt.


    Rango hits theaters March 4, 2011.

  • Trailer: Tron Legacy

    // March 10th, 2010 // No Comments » // Movies


    In the year 1982, Disney came out with a little film called Tron. Despite the primitive graphics, Tron was a science-fiction epic ahead of its time. Nevertheless, the name may be new to some of today’s younger generation. To recap:


    Kevin Flynn was a software engineer working for the corporation ENCON. He’s managed to produce a game that has the potential to, as the trailer proclaims, change science, medicine, and even religion. Everything is going just peachy until the day Flynn finds himself locked in the system…


    Twenty-five years later, Sam Flynn must confront the mystery of his father’s sudden appearance. And it looks as if the virtual universe of Tron has received a few…upgrades.


    Having starred in Tron twenty-eight years ago, there couldn’t be anyone more appropriate than Jeff Bridges to play the role of Kevin Flynn. And who else but Daft Punk could pull off the soundtrack? Join Disney this coming December for the 3D adventure of a lifetime.
