Hey folks!
We have finally, FINALLY completed our fun teaser trailer we worked on last Fall. Expect to see a link to it soon. When you have a small crew, sometimes things take a little longer than expected. We are so excited it's complete and can't wait to share it with you! We also just completed our script for a web series we hope to start filming within the next year, so fun future projects abound!
Also, here's a personal shout-out to a couple of films that this gal really wants to see. What about you? Any films you can't wait to watch this season?
As some of you know (if you're one of the few - nay, the PROUD- who read this blog), I love autumn. The cool weather, the gloomy skies, colorful leaves covering the ground... I could go on and on. Yes, it is still August, but I knew it was time to get excited for Fall when I got an email from Bath & Body Works telling its mailing list that yes, it's true! Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin (my fave Fall scent) is back in stock and ready for purchase! Oh, and, uh... all of the awesome (arguably) Halloween-themed movies coming out!
Yes, I love my horror films. In high school, I went through a period where I bought a ton of cheap horror film VHS's (remember those? Well, ya better. I was still purchasing them up til 2006) every other week during the Fall season. But it's not those films I'm talking about. Blame it on the kid at heart that lies within me, but I'm super excited about all of the kid-centric movies this year! Here are the trailers for the 3 that caught my eye. What do you think? Will you go see any of them? Be honest now...
ParaNorman - Out Now!
If your partial to Coraline (the film adaptation), you may like ParaNorman. It's by the same people! And you're just in time, because it comes out in theaters this weekend!
Hotel Transylvania - September 28th
It's a cute premise. Where do all the monsters and creatures go to get away from ordinary people? And what happens when an average Joe winds up there and falls for Dracula's daughter?
Frankenweenie - October 5th
We showed you the trailer the instant it came out! When Victor loses his dog, he finds a way to bring him back to life! I loved the original, and I'm excited to see how they expand the world of Frankenweenie.
It's Oscar week, yeah! Everything is building up to Sunday night. As you gear up to watch the awards to see the stars, the clothes and the showmanship of one Billy Crystal (and, oh yeah, to see who goes home with the bald guy!), why not watch one of Oscar's past contenders? Set the mood. Here are just a few past Oscar contenders to keep you going:
For The Hardcore Cinephile:
Citizen Kane (1941) It's been named the greatest snub for Best Picture. Ever. Period. And after watching this film, you can see why. Everything falls into place in this masterfully executed film by Orson Welles. IMDB Logline: Following the death of a publishing tycoon (Kane), news reporters scramble to discover the meaning of his final utterance.
For The Movie-Musical with Edge Fanatic:
Cabaret (1972) Bob Fosse's shocking, sexy, daring adaptation of this musical set in Germany won a slew of Academy Awards in 1973 and Liza Minnelli's pipes are not the only reason... IMDB Logline: A female girlie club entertainer (Sally Bowles) in Weimar Republic era Berlin romances two men while the Nazi Party rises to power around them.
For The Unconventional:
Juno (2007) Another "coming of age" story it is not. If you're looking for clever writing and a story that will surprisingly touch your heart and make you laugh all at once, look no further than this Best Original Screenplay Winner. IMDB Logline: Faced with an unplanned pregnancy, an offbeat young woman makes an unusual decision regarding her unborn child.
