iTunes released the Trailer for "The Raven". While it doesn't boast anything special or fresh, I am still hoping that it turns out to be good.

Here, you'll find a Poe inspired murderer who seems to be playing games with the authorities, leaving clues behind at the murder scene (including an intriguing shot of a pocket watch being removed from someone's mouth). Poe (Cusack) himself becomes involved.

There's a love story element. Also it has that good old "find the person before they become my next victim" thing going on.

Anyways, take a look and see what you think 

I like its feel though. Almost has a sleepy hollowness too it?

Ever wish you were a werewolf? This guy too!

Here’s an oldy, but a goody. Some may know this as the shortened PS2 commercial version... This full version however, really properly showcases its moody strangeness, abstract qualities and randomness. The eerie and beautifully made start says nothing about the wildness you’ll experience on the tail end of this rollercoaster. There’s something to be said about the voice acting too, at parts, in particular the transformation, the tone is appropriately tense and excited  in  well delivered, well scripted weirdness.

The moon asks “...Kiss my white chalky lips; stroke my dusty brown face...”

Take a look:

I love the design of this thing. Anyone else agree?

Playstation’s “Michael” Long Live Play Commercial is great. But it’s more than just for Playstation fans, hec, a few of the games represented are cross platform. If you wanna check out a pretty sweet commercial speaking to accomplishing epic challenges experienced only in video games then take a look.

Pretty well done if I do say so myself.

“Easy Rider” (1969) is a movie directed by the late Dennis Hopper. It stars Peter Fonda (Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, 3:10 to Yuma) and Dennis Hopper himself (Blue Velvet, Speed). Jack Nicholson (the shining, the departed) also makes an appearance as a fellow jail cellmate!

Here, the movie starts at the tail end of a lucrative drug deal. Wyatt (Fonda) and Billy (Hopper) next venture out onto the open road headed for Mardi Gras, then... to who knows where. Theirs is a life of “Freedom” and they, a breed amongst the multitude of others; some portrayed in this flick as being able to live and be at peace with the bikers, while others are stacked against em. Yes, their adventure leads them to meet all sorts of people, though those people are generally extreme if not almost stereotypical in personality. Beyond being philosophical, the journey is also drug laden and is almost as much a drug trip as it is a commentary on a breed of people amongst the backdrop of an (arguably) evolving society.

The acting is good with Fonda’s reflective Wyatt, played with subtle inner turmoil, stealing the show. Only to be eclipsed (at least for a while) by a quirky and crude Nicholson.

The movies transition sequences have a drug induced style. So too has (and more obviously so) the Marti Gras section of the movie. Coupled with the ladder case is a fusion of sex and religious symbolism – a show that holds less shock today than it likely had at the time of this movie’s release.

To be sure, the movie speaks more to those times then it can translate to today on a relevant and important level; with the exception of its potential as a springboard for discussion on the topic of “what is freedom?”

(**Spoiler alert for both “Easy Rider” and “Vanishing Point” (1971) **)

While its conclusion doesn’t pack the same resonating impact as does a similarly fiery finally as seen in vanishing point...

(**Spoiler alert over**)

... It’s still a good watch at 7/10 on scale.

Here, in case you missed it, we have Spielberg’s “War Horse”. Let me tell you, the camera work looks beautiful. Judging by the music, the teary eyed person and the overall feel, it looks like this one’s aiming to be a tear-jerking inspirational type.

Take a look

That three part “be brave” at the end was a nice touch

Here, we have the new international trailer for “Tin Tin: The Secret of the Unicorn” Just to remind us that its release on December 21rst is something to get excited about. It’s a family show. It’s got Daniel Craig and Simon Pegg attached to it, not to mention it’s a Spielberg directed flick.

It doesn’t look too bad. Though there is some hint of Spielbergesque adventure, I can’t help but find that there’s some pure “I’ll take you on a CG 3D ride” a la Robert Zemeckis (The polar Express and A Christmas Carol)... Not that it’s a bad thing. It’s not like this movie won’t make enough to bring some of Tin Tin’s other adventures to the big screen in this format.

Take a look for yourself

Weirdest thing... For some reason I can’t think about Tin Tin without also thinking about Marsupalami. Anyone else remember them? And what did you guys think of the Tin Tin trailer?
