The first teaser trailer for Buried really captured my interest, it looks likes it going a great little suspense tale. I am fearful that they only thought as far as the climax and then we are going to get a bullshit ending (any thriller in the last decade or so). The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival to critical and audience acclaim, sparking a multi-studio bidding war. The story follows a private contractor who is kidnapped in Iraq and buried alive. He has 90 minutes of air left until he dies, and has access to only a phone and a lighter.
The entire movie takes place in the coffin, with Ryan Reynolds providing the only on screen performance. Buried will be released in select theaters on September 24th 2010 and will expand nationwide on October 8th 2010.

Arcade Fire is one of the best bands in the world, if you don’t know this; there are three albums I can recommend for further proof. The latest being The Suburbs, which I haven’t been able to stop listening to for weeks.
On August 30, 2010, an interactive video was released for “We Used to Wait” at http://www.thewildernessdowntown.com, designed in conjunction with Google Chrome, which makes use of Google Maps and Google Street View. The experience begins with the viewer entering in their childhood address and goes on to incorporate drawing a picture and writing a letter. It’s all pretty crazy and something I have never seen before. Close other windows and tabs and have fun, you can even share the short film you created with friends.

The Freebie was acclaimed at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and we now have a trailer to show off. The film was written, directed and stars Katie Aselton as one half of a young couple in Los Angeles who try to spice up their marriage by allowing each other a one-night “freebie.” I instantly thought of the running story from season 4 of Curb Your Enthusiasm, but this film looks to take it a lot more seriously. Watch the trailer now embedded after the jump. Please leave your thoughts in the comments below. (more…)

The Back to the Future trilogy is finally coming to Blu-Ray on October 26th 2010. Here’s the trailer for the 25th Anniversary Special edition.
Writer/Producer Bob Gale had this to say about the conversion: The HD transfers for all three films are simply breath-taking, they actually look better than they did in the theater because of the incredible job that was done on dirt clean-up. (And the film grain is preserved, so they still look like movies should look.)
We listed all the specs for the DVD and Blu-Ray here. You can get your copy ordered with savings at Amazon here (.ca) and here (.com). I got mine and felt better about myself, don’t you want the same? (more…)

James Cameron took time out of his money counting busy schedule to show off the 3D camera rig that he helped develop to film Avatar. Cameron shared some of the rig’s tech specs, notably syaing the rig weighs 28 lbs, and Cameron claims that he did all the hand-held camera work on Avatar himself. Sure, and Grizzly Adams had a beard. Video after the jump! (more…)
