New "Total Recall" TV Spot 

“Total Recall” is an action thriller about reality and memory, inspired anew by the famous short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” by Philip K. Dick. Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), even though he’s got a beautiful wife (Kate Beckinsale) who he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life – real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man. Finding himself on the run from the police – controlled by Chancellor Cohaagen (Bryan Cranston), the leader of the free world – Quaid teams up with a rebel fighter (Jessica Biel) to find the head of the underground resistance (Bill Nighy) and stop Cohaagen. The line between fantasy and reality gets blurred and the fate of his world hangs in the balance as Quaid discovers his true identity, his true love, and his true fate.

"Man Of Steel" Teaser With Some John Williams Magic

I was anticipating the Man Of Steel teaser coming out for what seemed like months, then several days before, we were told what the teaser featured and my anticipation sort of died. What we got was music lifted from Lord Of The Rings with beautiful visuals of butterflies, ships, and some laundry. Doesn't exactly scream Superman.

To be fair, their are two versions of the teaser, each featuring very sharp dialogue from Pa Kent (Kevin Costner) and Jor-El (Russel Crowe) respectively. Also, there is a great shot of what looks like a young Clark Kent wearing a makeshift red cape around his shoulders and a amazing shot of Superman shooting upwards through the clouds breaking multipl;e sound barriers. Not all is bad.

There was just something missing from the teaser to me, it seemed very similar to the Superman Returns teaser, which was fantastic at the time. However, in a post Superman Returns world, the marketing needs to go in a different direction. Bolder. Bigger. Action.

All of that being said, a youtube user decided to get nostalgic with the Man Of Steel teaser and threw the John Williams Superman theme over the pretty pictures. I have to admit it gives me goosebumps.

"Little White Lies" Trailer With Marion Cotillard Debuts

IMDB has exclusively debuted the trailer for Little White Lies. Written and Directed by Guillaume Canet
the cast includes François Cluzet, Marion Cotillard, Benoît Magimel, Gilles Lellouche, Laurent Lafitte, and Jean Dujardin.

LITTLE WHITE LIES follows a close-knit group of friends whose bonds are tested and strengthened over a summer holiday.

Bringing together some of the top names from France's current generation of actors, Guillaume Canet weaves a joyous and heartfelt ensemble film out of the dilemmas of eight thirty and forty-something close friends as they vacation together in the summer beach house of uptight restaurateur Max (Cluzet). Starting out light and carefree, tensions begin to fill the air when Ludo is clinging to life following a motorcycle accident, and Max is grappling with unwanted affections from Vincent (Magimel), whose married life and sexuality are under fire. Womanizing actor Eric (Lellouche) and free-spirited ethnologist Marie (Cotillard) navigate the challenges of single life while lovelorn Antoine (Laurent Lafitte) pines for his ex-girlfriend after a sudden breakup.

With its nostalgic soundtrack of classic hit songs from The Isley Brothers, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Janis Joplin, David Bowie, Nina Simone and others, LITTLE WHITE LIES is Canet's spin on The Big Chill, a generational statement on youthful frivolity giving way to middle-aged pleasures and sorrows, with a finely observant eye on contemporary relationships.

It Costs Millions To Actually Be Batman

For those of you wondering what it would be like to actually be Batman comes a bit of a shock to the system. You want to drive around dressed as a bat and clearly have issues? You better save up your birthday money because it's going to cost you a small fortune.

The people over at MoneySuperMarket.Com have created a diagram showing us that it doesn't just cost Bruce Wayne his health keeping the good people of Gotham safe. I might still be able to afford some Kevlar golves or elbow pads though.
