New WATCHMEN trailer

Warner Bros just released this new trailer to its WATCHMEN movie which is scheduled to hit theaters in March. While anticipation for this film, based on the popular graphic novel, is sky high on the internet, the trailer doesn’t do much for me. While clearly ambitious, I don’t like the graphic novel look and I’m not a fan of the use of slow motion. While I wanted to get the same type buzz I received when I viewed the trailer to The Dark Knight, I simply did NOT! Here’s the TRAILER

ANTHONY EDWARDS return to ER triumphant

NBC’s ER received a ratings boost (9.8 million viewers – the show’s largest audience in a year) Thursday night with the return of one of its most beloved cast members, ANTHONY EDWARDS. His return as Dr. Mark Greene in a flashback episode was very well done and highly enjoyable if you have been a fan of the show from the beginning. The episode’s story, explaining how Angela Bassett’s Dr Cate Banfield became the ice cold, control freak, she is today, was both well thought out and emotionally involving. Her five year old son had died 6 years before at County General on a night Dr Greene was the attending on call. She recalls how things played out while trying to save a little girl who has entered her ER in the present day.

Once Edward’s appears on screen, twenty-seven minutes in, it’s easy to see how the program always belonged to him. While George Clooney, Noah Wyle and Eriq La Salle all did memorable work over the years, I’ve always felt that ER was Edward’s show. His confident presence grounded every scene he appeared in and last night’s return solidified that fact. Edward’s story arc, which features his characters battle with brain cancer in the 2002 season, was one of television’s finest moments, culminating in the classic ORION IN THE SKY episode which is my all time favorite ER hour. As a fan of the show, it was nice to see an old friend and remember how special he was. Watch Edward’s return episode titled HEAL THYSELF in its entirety HERE.

Teaser TRAILER for the Roland Emmerich DISASTER film 2012

2012

Here’s a brief but interesting trailer to Director Roland Emmerich’s reported 200 million dollar end of the world epic, 2012. The film stars John Cusack, Amanda Peet and Woody Harrelson. Emmerich, who directed one of the great popcorn films of all time in Independence Day has a love of this genre. He’s stated many times he is a big fan of the late Irwin Allen (The Poseidon Adventure, The Towering Inferno). His 2004 film, The Day After Tomorrow, was an impressive but flawed film which featured all its best stuff in the film’s first half. With a solid cast and ambitious concept, I’m certainly looking forward to the film when it hits theaters July 10, 2009.
