WatchMy Week With Marilyn Theatrical Trailer Released
Initially, Michelle Williams turned down the role of Marilyn Monroe, thinking Monroe is too different from her. I guess she came to her senses and took on the hard task of portraying one of the most famous and mysterious icons in Hollywood. It is said to be one of the few -if not the only- films that show Monroe as a human being, not just a...

WatchExclusive Drive Red Band Trailer from IGN!
Ryan Gosling, Christina Hendricks, Carey Mulligan, Bryan Cranston, Ron Perlman and Albert Brooks (as evil?!). What’s not to like about Drive?

2011: The Year of Mark Strong
Though he previously acted in various different movies, I think that the movie that catapulted Mark Strong’s career was Guy Ritchie’s RocknRolla. There, he played Archy, the right hand of British mob boss Lenny Cole (played by Tom Wilkinson) and the narrator of the movie. Archy follows his boss’s orders like a true follower, does what Lenny wants from him, tries to play...

Good News!
Couple of days ago, Tumblr’s very own The Movie Doc posted that he needed volunteer writers for his new WordPress site. Guess what? I now write at http://themoviedoc.com/! Of course, I’ll keep writing to my personal blog and post links here of the articles I write at TheMovieDoc.com. Pretty exciting!

Francis Ford Coppola is coming to Comic-Con!
After years of being out of Hollywood, is Francis Ford Coppola going mainstream again?Or does he simply want to reach out a niche audience at this year’s Comic-Con? Though these questions might not be answered until July 23rd in San Diego, it is still exciting to hear that the director will be showing clips from his latest horror movie, Twixt. According to Coppola, it is “one part Gothic...

A smelly (!) movie coming your way
If you have seen Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World’s newly released poster, you know what I mean. Here is the poster:
You got it right! There will be all sorts of smells while you are watching the movie. Apparently, movie tickets will come with an Aroma-Scope card. “The surprise will come in the form of an Aromascope card (which comes free with each ticket) containing a series...

Bridesmaids: It's All About the Dress
My friend invited me to go and see Bridesmaids on Memorial Day, and I agreed. I previously have seen the trailer and read a few reviews. Other than that, I had no expectations for the movie because it was not one of my “must-see” movies. However, I am glad that I saw Bridesmaids, because it’s definitely worth seeing.
Before I move on to my commentary on the movie, I would like...

WatchRise of the Planet of the Apes gets a full trailer!
A new trailer for the movie debuted today at Yahoo! Movies. If we look past the dreadful title, the movie looks pretty interesting. In Apes, CGI monkeys were used instead of real apes. I might go and see it just for the apes. Rise of the Planet of the Apes opens August 5th.

Trying something new: A film discussion group!
I was talking to a guy earlier in the week and he was telling me how he organizes discussion groups in bars and at his home. So I thought, “Why not organize a film discussion group every week to discuss an assigned film, share our mutual love for film and talk about anything related to film?” Of course, these meetups are going to be in New York because I live here. The first ever movie...

WatchNewly released trailer of X-Men: First Class!
This trailer is shown exclusively on Yahoo. We all know X-Men series tend to be much darker than other superhero movies, but I think this installment will be the darkest in the series. A lot of new snippets with exciting visuals and dialogue! X-Men: First Class opens June 3rd, 2011.
