Watch the Sexier, More Stylish New Captain America Trailer

Becky Kirsch — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 22:39:21 PDT

The Super Bowl teaser for Captain America gave us an idea of what's in store when The First Avenger hits theaters this Summer, but this new, full trailer helps fill in the gaps. This time around, we get a longer look at Steve Rogers's days as a scrawny kid before he makes the transformation to beefy Captain America. Plus, there's more Tommy Lee Jones and a better glimpse at the action sequences.

So far, this film looks more like a war movie than superhero flick, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I have to admit though: the effects that make Chris Evans look pocket-sized are a little hard to swallow. Check out the new trailer for yourself when you

Movie Preview: A Beefed Up Chris Evans Is Captain America

Lauren Bradshaw — Sun, 06 Feb 2011 20:52:53 PST

The Super Bowl is usually rife with clever ads, but I also keep my eyes peeled for the new movie trailers. If you paid close attention during this year's commercial breaks, you probably caught a handful of spots for upcoming films, including a closer look at Captain America: The First Avenger.

Chris Evans plays Steve Rogers, a scrawny military hopeful who submits his body to a research project. After entering a special scientific chamber, he emerges with a six-pack that could put The Situation to shame. The preview also includes quick glimpses at Stanley Tucci, Tommy Lee Jones, Hugo Weaving (donning his grotesque makeup as Red Skull), and love interest Hayley Atwell. Take a look and share your thoughts after the jump.

The Company Men Trailer: Even Ben Affleck Gets the Blues

BuzzSugar — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 16:15:32 PDT

The movies from this year's Sundance Film Festival are slowly rolling out into wide release, and Ben Affleck's The Company Men is on its way as well. The aptly-timed drama follows the three corporate businessmen (Affleck, Chris Cooper, and Tommy Lee Jones) as their lives are affected by the recession and downsizing at their firm. The trailer is all about Affleck: we see that he gets fired, struggles to find work, cries to his wife, takes a job as a carpenter.

I know it seems like the whole film is being given away here, but there's definitely a lot more going on than what we see in the preview. I really liked the film when I saw it at the festival, though much like the trailer, it tries a little too hard. Still, it's a film that we can all relate to, so check out the preview when you

Here Come the Men in Black . . . in 3D?

BuzzSugar — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 10:35:00 PDT

That's right, those rumors of a third Men in Black movie are still floating around, but this time they're intensifying. Though at one point it was suspected that Josh Brolin may step in for Tommy Lee Jones, the last rumblings are that both Jones and Will Smith are on board to complete the trifecta - and, naturally, the movie will be in 3D.

Most of you weren't jazzed about a third movie when we first heard about it back in October, but would you be more interested if the original team comes back? It's been a full 13 years since the original, and it's hard to believe the MIBs won't have a few up-and-coming agents to keep up with. On the other hand, a lot of advances have been made in the wide world of technology, so maybe Jay and Kay can have a few Nav'i-like creatures to take on this time. Everything's better with CGI, right?

Sundance Snapshot: The Company Men

BuzzSugar — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 07:30:08 PST

One of the films I was most interested in checking out at Sundance was The Company Men. The timely tale, which focuses on three high-paid corporate executives slapped with downsizing at their company, boasts a stellar cast and is already drawing comparisons to Up in the Air. But does it have the potential to enjoy the same success?

Who's behind it? Like I said, there are some heavy hitters here: Ben Affleck, Tommy Lee Jones, Chris Cooper, Maria Bello, Craig T. Nelson, and Rosemarie DeWitt star in the film, with writer and first time director John Wells at the helm.
What's it about? Affleck, Jones, and Cooper play three colleagues who excel at their jobs and have plenty to show for it - big houses, fancy cars, privileged families living in the suburbs of Boston. Their cushy lifestyles are quickly brought into jeopardy, however, when massive layoffs begin at their company; the men are forced to re-examine themselves, their careers, and their family lives as they face unemployment and potentially losing everything they've been working for all their lives.

To find out what I thought of the movie, just

What did I think? The film gives an engaging, accurate portrayal of unemployment in the current economy. The juxtaposition of the three lives, families (and even their homes) ties the story together nicely, and all of the actors give very solid performances. However, there's just something that feels insincere about watching high-paid actors pretending to really understand what it feels like to lose everything. Perhaps the movie is a little too timely, since we all still know plenty of people who continue to struggle every day. That said, I still think the film is primed and ready to go for major release - but the real question is whether or not audiences are feeling up to another film about the depressing realities of the economic downturn.

Movie Preview: Ben Affleck in The Company Men

BuzzSugar — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 12:00:22 PST

I'll be bundling up and heading to Park City, UT, next week for the Sundance Film Festival, and one of the movies I'm excited about is The Company Men. Ben Affleck plays a stereotypical corporate executive - sleek suit, perfect family, gorgeous house in the suburbs - who must reassess his life after he's been laid off. Tommy Lee Jones and Chris Cooper star as his colleagues, with Maria Bello and Craig T. Nelson rounding out the all-star cast.

The trailer doesn't give away much, especially since it's montage of scenes set to music, but you can already see how the different men will be affected and their relationships tested by the changing economy. Kevin Costner also makes an appearance as a construction worker who offers Affleck's character a blue collar job after he's been let go. The cast alone is enough to capture my intrigue, and I always love to see Affleck in meatier roles. Check it out for yourself, when you
