This Week In Trailers: Fix, Tucker & Dale Vs Evil, At The Game (Na Igre), October Country, The Magic Hour By Christopher Stipp/Nov. 13, 2009 11:00 am EST Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: I celebrate all levels of trailers and hopefully this column will satisfactorily give you a baseline of what beta wave I’m operating on, because what better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising?...

Toy Story 3 Internet Exclusive Trailer By Peter Sciretta/April 28, 2010 9:00 am EST Disney has released a new internet exclusive movie trailer for Pixar’s Toy Story 3. The trailer profiles the toy’s mission in the new film, to escape the daycare center and find Andy, and focuses on Buzz and Woody. I think the 1-minute edit is a bit on the corny side of the spectrum, which is probably why its only being released virally online....

‘Twin Peaks’ Refresher: Everything You Need To Know Before Season 3 By Ben Pearson/May 19, 2017 7:00 am EST I’m still shocked that David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks aired on a major television network – let alone in primetime. The series heavily influenced a lot of prestige TV that followed its cancellation after its second season back in 1991, but I can’t think of another show that’s ever run the gamut of styles and genres quite the way this one did....

Returning host Ricky Gervais (called a “naughty, naughty schoolboy” this morning by Aida Takla-O’ Reilly, the president of the HFPA) will likely be the main attraction of that broadcast, but the Globes do get attention for the awards doled out each year, if only for the way that the organization targets films with big stars to show up at the ceremony....
