 | Snow Angels - Trailer 1a In SNOW ANGELS, David Gordon Green explores the space between youth and adulthood, offering a glimpse into the lives of his characters at that key moment in which they recognize what growing up might mean. This exploration is the touchstone of his body of work, including ALL THE REAL GIRLS and the critically acclaimed GEORGE WASHINGTON, and is poignantly portrayed in SNOW ANGELS, the story of three couples in adjacent stages of life who are linked by powerful relationships. Arthur (Michael Angarano) is in high school. He plays trombone in the marching band. He becomes friends with Lila Raybern (Olivia Thirlby), a pretty girl who is just as nerdy as Arthur and who develops a romantic interest in him. Annie (Kate Beckinsale) used to baby-sit Arthur. Today they work in the same Chinese restaurant where anyone can see how much they care about each other, even as their lives are pulling them in much different directions. As Lila’s affection for Arthur grows, so does the ardor with which she tries to express it. While he clearly enjoys the attention, Arthur must deal with the fact that his parents (Griffin Dunne and Jeannetta Arnette) are splitting up. Meanwhile, Annie’s first marriage to Glenn (Sam Rockwell) has ended. A man with a troubled past, Glenn used to drink but has since found Jesus Christ and lives with his parents. Hoping to rebuild his life by getting a job selling carpet, Glenn also tries to reconnect with Annie as he shows up to visit their very young daughter. A film for grown-ups, SNOW ANGELS is about a precise moment on a cold winter morning when Glenn and Annie’s past catches up with their future. For them, and for Arthur, nothing will ever be the same.

The Midnight Meat Train – Trailer 1b
January 24th, 2008 | The Midnight Meat Train - Trailer 1b Next stop…death. When Leon Kaufman’s (Bradley Cooper) latest body of work – a collection of provocative, nighttime studies of the city and its inhabitants -- earns the struggling photographer interest from prominent art gallerist Susan Hoff (Brooke Shields), she propels him to get grittier and show the darker side of humanity for his upcoming debut at her downtown art space. Believing he’s finally on track for success, Leon’s obsessive pursuit of dark subject matter leads him into the path of a serial killer, Mahogany (Vinnie Jones), the subway murderer who stalks late-night commuters -- ultimately butchering them in the most gruesome ways imaginable. With his concerned girlfriend Maya (Leslie Bibb) fearing for his life, Leon’s relentless fascination with Mahogany lures him further and further into the bowels of the subways and ultimately into an abyss of pure evil – inadvertently pulling Maya right along with him. Directed by: Ryuhei Kitamura Starring: Bradley Cooper, Leslie Bibb, Vinnie Jones, Roger Bart, Peter Jacobson |

Troika’s “Cloud” in the atrium at Heathrow Airport
January 23rd, 2008DVD Review: The Box
January 23rd, 2008The Box is a whodunnit that falls flat while trying to create more twists and turns than necessary.
To say there are twists and turns in The Box is an understatement. The film is about a former LAPD detective who takes part in a home invasion in search of millions in stolen money, only to have the plan quickly go south, killing five and leaving two alive – one of the victims and one of the perpetrators. In step homicide detectives Cris Romano…
DVD Review: Death Is Her Gift – Buffy the Vampire Slayer
January 23rd, 2008It’s not too late to give Buffy the Vampire Slayer a chance.
I miss having too many TV shows on my DVR. Ironically, the writers' strike gives a TV freak the perfect opportunity to stray a little from their usual habits and welcome some new blood into their DVD lineup.If I could pick one show at random that should be watched by any true boob tube enthusiast regardless of tastes, it's Buffy the Vampire…
Capacity Updates
January 23rd, 2008
It’s been a while since Capacity has updated—and from them that’s usually a good sign. They’ve just put up some of their recent blood, sweat and tears, including two projects for Cartoon Network, one for CMT, and one for NFL Network.
Last but not least is the epically bad ass CN Master Control spot. It looks like Capacity had a ton of fun with that one; the character design alone is worthy of applause.
