Embrace of the Vampire

Sharon Hinnendael stars as Charlotte, a timid and sheltered teen who has just left an all-girls Catholic school for a new life at a co-ed university. But an ancient evil has followed her here, tormenting her with disturbing nightmares and tempting her with forbidden desires. It is a hunger that can only be satiated by sensual pleasures of the flesh...and a thirst for blood. It's a battle for her soul... and one she's losing. But Charlotte is a fighter. The chaos and torment threatens to unleash her own inner beast, and anyone even close to her may find themselves embracing their own horrific fate.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER Poster

Back to the camera/glance-over-the-shoulder is a bit of a cliche, but it's a nice image - and the placement of the shield here does double duty obscuring the changes to the uniform, saving the discussion about that (I'm still not a fan) for the trailer apparently set to drop later this week.

Also, the placement in the middle of the cargo door forms a subliminal "A," so that's fun. The geographic placement of those D.C. landmarks looks a little... "off," though, right?

Is anyone taking odds on whether any of the "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D" characters will turn up here? It feels more appropriate than were they to pop up in "Thor," and Cap gets name-checked on the show more often than the other Avengers (so far.) I'd enjoy that, it'd be like when The Lone Gunmen were in the "X-Files" movie - except, y'know, somebody would give a shit.

ANCHORMAN 2 Trailer Inspires Less Confidence Than It Should

Oh, don't get me wrong - this is funny... but so far it seems like the only thing the "ANCHORMAN 2" trailers are selling is more scenes of The News Team dicking around, which was only one of the components that made the original so worthwhile.



Also, while I'm glad to see that Christina Applegate is back as Veronica and part of the story, it feels like a reduced role or even a cameo - which is disappointing.

I understand the probable logic - this sequel seems to be about Ron dealing poorly with race the same way he dealt poorly with feminism in the original, so a new character has effectively taken Veronica's role - but I think people underestimate how important her part (the supposed "straight-man" whose just as nuts as everyone else) was to the chemistry that made the film work.

Moulin Rouge

A poet falls for a beautiful courtesan whom a jealous duke covets in this stylish musical, with music drawn from familiar 20th century sources.
