?Red Tail? Trailer Flies High!
Have you seen Director Anthony Hemingway’s new movie trailer for ‘Red Tails’? Get our review of the two minute clip here and why we think Red Tails is sure to dominate the box office come this new year! The first official trailer for the George Lucas’ penned ad produced movie Red Tails’ has hit the web, making the long wait worthwhile. After years of waiting for Lucas to put pen to paper on something outside of both Star Wars and Indiana Jones, the time has come and so far it looks like Lucas, and his cohorts, Hemingway and scribe John Ridley (Third Watch & Three Kings), have really created quite a sight, and story for the big screen. For the unknown, ‘Red Tails’ is based on a true story and chronicles the “Tuskegee Airmen, the first African-American pilots to fly in a combat squadron during World War II.” Starring in the film is the awesome and always amazing Terrence Howard as the character Col. A.J. Bullard , Cuba Gooding Jr. in the role of Major Emanuelle Stance , Michael B. Jordan as Maurice ‘Bumps’ Wilson, Tristan Wilds as Ray ‘Ray Gun’ Gannon, Method Man as Sticks, Ne-Yo playing the character [...]

John Carter: The Trailer
Now THIS is a goddamn trailer.
Remember what I said last time about the Conan trailer, that all I wanted was to watch a trailer and think "I know this"? Well, I got it in spades here.
I saw Barsoom. I saw John Carter. I saw Dejah Thoris. I saw the flying ships of Barsoom. I saw red and green Martians. I saw a legion of Barsoomian Thoat cavalry. I think I saw Tars Tarkas.
Yes, I do miss "of Mars." True, I think that weird glowy-bluey-liney-thingy was daft. Indeed, I'm not a fan of the music, or the fact that Dejah Thoris wasn't quite the shade of red I thought she would be. But goddamn, I saw Barsoom. That was Barsoom, up there on the big screen. That was a Green Martian holding up a gun. That was a fleet of Barsoomian airships.
I don't doubt that there will be things I don't like about the film: there are things I don't like about the trailer. But that's to be expected from a big-budget Hollywood blockbuster. So far... this is easily recognizable as John Carter. And more importantly, to me, it's easily recognizable as Edgar Rice Burrough's John Carter.
And that's pretty freaking awesome.
Now cue all the silly people claiming this adaptation of a 99-year-old literary creation is an Avatar/He-Man/Prince of Persia/Star Wars ripoff...
