First Men In The Moon (1964) trailer CFQOnline 2014-07-24 | Celebrating the Horror, Fantasy & Science Fiction Films of 1964, Cinefantastique re-examines Ray Harryhausen’s classic adaptation of the H.G. Wells novel. Read the retrospective review here: http://cinefantastiqueonline.com/2014/07/first-men-in-the-moon-50th-anniversary-review.Fifty years ago, special effects maestro Ray Harryhausen took movie-goers on a memorable trip to the moon – a half decade before Neil Armstrong actually reached the lunar surface. Can the cinematic adventure survive not only the test of time but also the incursion of scientific reality, which has debunked the popular notion of life on the moon as a quaint fantasy? The answer is yes: Despite its flaws, FIRST MEN IN THE MOON remains a charming entertainment that stirs our Sense of Wonder with its fantastic imagery, lifting us out of mundane reality and transporting us into an alternative world of the imagination.

JOE: RETALIATION - shown back when Paramount Pictures was planning to release the film during the summer of 2012.

The Last Exorcism Part II: DomesticTrailer #1 CFQOnline 2013-01-15 | CBS Films releases sequel to the interesting but ultimately muddled 2010 film. Ed Gass Donnelly takes over the director's chair from Daniel Stamm, working from a script he re-wrote from a draft by Damien Chazell, based on characters created by Huck Botko & Andrew Gurland. Ashley Bell returns as Nell Sweetzer, the phony possessed girl who turned out to be really possessed. Also in the cast are Spencer Treat Clark, Andrew Sensenig, Judd Lormand, Julia Garner, and Muse Watson. Eli Roth, of course, is back on as producer.We imagine there is a pretty funny quip to be made out the title (if the 2010 film was the "last" exorcism, how could there be a sequel?), but it's a bit too obvious to be more than a bad joke. Hopefully, the sequel can fix or at least clear up some of the bad residue from its predecessor.U.S Theatrical Release: March 1, 2013
After Earth trailer CFQOnline 2013-01-15 | Sony Pictures releases this science fiction extravaganza on June 7, 2013.

Beautiful Creatures: Trailer #2 CFQOnline 2013-01-15 | The second theatrical trailer from writer-director Richard LaGravenese's adaptation of Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl's novel shows off the supporting cast more prominently, especially Oscar-winner Jeremy Irons, adding a sense of dramatic gravitas that the TWILIGHT films (which this apparently hopes to emulate) sorely lacked.
Beautiful Creatures Trailer #1 CFQOnline 2013-01-15 | Warner Brothers releases this fantasy film from Alcon Entertainment.Richard LaGravenese wrote and directed, based on the novel by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. The cast includes Emmy Rossum, Jeremy Irons, Emma Thompson, Alice Englert, and Alden Ehrenreich. The story follows Lena (Englert), a high school girl whose family is believed by the local small-town populace to be satanists. It turns out that "witches" would be a more accurate description, and Lena has reached the age at which she will decide whether or not to go to the dark side. LaGravenese is a talented writer and sometimes director whose previous work has flirted around the borderline of the fantasy genre (THE FISHER KING, A LITTLE PRINCESS, BELOVED); it will be interesting to see what he can do with a project that is clearly intended to launch another TWILIGHT-like young-adult fantasy-romance franchise.U.S. Theatrical Release: February 13, 2013
