Transformers 3 Trailer Description

Transformers 3 Logo

Badtaste.it has the following description up for the Transformers: Dark of the Moon teaser trailer.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon, from the teaser, plays on conspiracy theories related to the moon landing. The first part of the movie alternates images of the control room at NASA and of the astronauts on the moon. The landing is what we know well, including the famous words about the “giant leap for mankind.” But what we did not know was the journey of the astronauts to the dark side of the moon, until the control room tells them that “… we are not alone.” Then we see some Transformers. The camera comes close to the eye of one of them, which starts to flash. But the camera does not stop, and takes us inside the robot and its mechanisms, making us understand that it’s coming back into action.

Frances McDormandPsycho-sexual drama that we already wrote about is definitely something worth keeping an eye on.

And here’s why! First of all, director Fernando Meirelles is in charge for this project, titled 360.

Then, we have lovely Rachel Weisz already on board, Anthony Hopkins has signed on to star in a movie as well, while Frances McDormand is also in talks to join the cast. Great, or what?

Eminem was rumoured to be making a return to cinema with a role in the sex-themed drama but he has not signed up for a serious acting turn in the movie, confirms his representative.

360 is based on a play by the Austrian playwright Arthur Shnitzler, who wrote some very provocative plays for his time. 1900 play Reigen inspired French drama “La Ronde” and has provided the dramatic structure for scores of plays and films.

Burn After Reading Review

By Allan Ford | Sep 13, 2008 | Movie Reviews (0) Comment

Burn After Reading | George Clooney and Frances McDormand

It doesn’t make a lot of sense to follow up a movie as dark as “No Country for Old Men” with one as downright silly as “Burn After Reading,” which is why it works for the Coen brothers. Joel and Ethan have done this before — they made “Raising Arizona” after “Blood Simple“; “The Big Lebowski” followed “Fargo” — and if there’s one thing these brothers savor, it’s upending their audience’s expectations. The only thing people didn’t like about the almost uniformly beloved “No Country” was the film’s controversial ending and its handling of a sudden off-screen death of one of the main characters. In “Burn After Reading,” they push it farther, refusing to show you the chain of events that set the film’s entire blackmail plot into motion. Continue Reading…
