Blu-ray Review: Night at the Museum 2

6 November 2009 3:09 PM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Night at the Museum 2 is exactly what a Hollywood sequel needs to be. Bigger, louder, filled with more famous faces and almost the same story as the first. It is on its way to eclipsing the success of the first and it hits Blu-ray and DVD next week.

Ben Stiller gathers his Natm cohort as they take their mix of slapstick and Scooby Doo to Washington D.C. where the Smithsonian archives are bought to life by the power of Ahkmenrah’s Tablet. Shawn Levy’s family friendly Night at the Museum grossed nearly $600m worldwide so a sequel was fairly inevitable and in these risk aversive climate the Battle of the Smithsonian needed only to rekindle the comedic chaos and broad dramatic strokes of the original to succeed.

It’s no surprise that the sequel does not stray from this path, and this is a blessing and a curse. »

Fashion fix: Vintage Nathan Turk western shirt from Superbad

6 November 2009 4:18 AM, PST | Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news »

Back in 50s showbiz circles, if you wanted a western shirt you went to Nathan Turk. He included the likes of Elvis Presley and Roger Rogers among his celebrity clientele and now, years later, his clothes have now become much sought after vintage pieces with Hollywood still happily flying this fashion flag flag. And one such example of Turk’s retro stylings turned up onscreen in 2007’s comedy smash, Superbad. It’s the blue western shirt as modelled on Jonah Hill’s character, Seth and though this exact one is no longer available, we’ve tracked down a lookalike that we think is sure to have all McLovins drooling with jealousy. »

3 November 2009 3:09 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »

A new teaser trailer has been released for DreamWorks Animation's newest 3-D adventure movie, How to Train Your Dragon. Based on Cressida Cowell's 2003 book of the same name, the movie tells the story of a young Viking boy named Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel) who befriends a dragon rather than hunting it down and killing it like the others in his village. Gerard Butler, America Ferrera, and Baruchel's Knocked Up co-star Jonah Hill also lend their voices.

Teaser Trailer: How to Train Your Dragon

3 November 2009 1:23 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

The guys who brought us Shrek and Kung Fu Panda (that would be Dreamworks Animation) have just brought out the teaser trailer for their latest fun adventure in the form of ‘How to Train Your Dragon’. The new movie will be in 3D and features the voices of Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill and Craig Ferguson. It’s based on the story by Cressida Cowell.

Synopsis: A Viking teenager named Hiccup lives on the island of Berk, where fighting dragons is a way of life. The teen’s smarts and offbeat sense of humor don’t sit too well with his tribe or its chief… who just happens to be Hiccup’s father. However, when Hiccup is included in Dragon Training with the other Viking teens, he sees his chance to prove he has what it takes to be a fighter. But when he encounters (and ultimately befriends) an injured dragon, »

How to Train Your Dragon Trailer

2 November 2009 7:07 PM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

Want to know How to Train Your Dragon? Well know you can get to know the film a little better with the new trailer for the film that has been released today. It looks like it’s pretty much par for the course from Dreamworks Animation: entertaining and ultimately fluffier and less heartfelt than Pixar’s output. Hopefully we have something in the Kung-Fu Panda realm of work.

How to Train Your Dragon is written and directed by Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders (Lilo & Stitch) from a story by Cressida Cowell, and features the voices of Gerard Butler, Jay Baruchel (who I believe narrates the trailer), Craig Ferguson, Jonah Hill, and McLovin himself, Christopher Mintz-Plasse.

Check the trailer out below! The film is due on March 26, 2010 from Paramount Pictures.

How to Train Your Dragon Trailer Arrives!

2 November 2009 4:42 PM, PST | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »

Yahoo! Movies has just released a new trailer for “How to Train Your Dragon“, a viking adventure with the same visual style as Shrek and Kung Fu Panda.

A Viking teenager named Hiccup lives on the island of Berk, where fighting dragons is a way of life. The teen’s smarts and offbeat sense of humor don’t sit too well with his tribe or its chief… who just happens to be Hiccup’s father. However, when Hiccup is included in Dragon Training with the other Viking teens, he sees his chance to prove he has what it takes to be a fighter. But when he encounters (and ultimately befriends) an injured dragon, his world is flipped upside down, and what started out as Hiccup’s one shot to prove himself turns into an opportunity to set a new course for the future of the entire tribe.

'How to Train Your Dragon' Trailer Debuts

2 November 2009 4:31 PM, PST | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »

By Wrap Staff

DreamWorks Animation's "How to Train Your Dragon," featuring the voices of Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill and Craig Ferguson, opens March 26.

It's directed by Christopher Sanders and Dean DeBlois, who previously co-directed Disney's animated hit "Lilo & Stitch." That might explain why the title dragon looks sorta like Stitch.

‘How to Train Your Dragon’ Teaser Trailer

2 November 2009 3:40 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »

DreamWorks Animation has released the trailer for How to Train Your Dragon, a viking adventure with the same visual style as Shrek and Kung Fu Panda.  Hopefully this one will be more in line with those titles rather than some of the more mediocre movies Dwa has produced (I’m looking at you, Bee Movie). I suppose it’s a step up when the characters aren’t making pop culture jokes or bad puns.

The new movie is from the writers/directors of Lilo and Stitch, which might explain why the dragon looks like a jet black version of Stitch with wings.  Jay Baruchel is the voice of the main character (Hiccup) and he’s joined by Gerard Butler, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Craig Ferguson, and Kristen Wiig.

How to Train Your Dragon is out March 26, 2010.  What did you think of the trailer?

Official Trailer for How to Train Your Dragon

2 November 2009 1:44 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

A little while ago, a teaser trailer for Dreamworks’ How to Train Your Dragon hit the internet but it was such poor quality that it really didn’t do the film justice. This would probably be the reason why Paramount asked us a day or so later to pull the video. A couple of weeks later, a proper teaser trailer came out with the exact same footage and to say it was tons better would be an understatement.

Today, thanks to Trailer Spy, Dreamworks has released the official trailer for How to Train Your Dragon in glorious HD and it is beautiful. The story is based on the 2003 children’s book by the same name written by Cressida Cowell. The movie is set in the land of Vikings and dragons and follows a Viking boy named Hiccup on the island of Berk. For Hiccup and his people, fighting dragons is an everyday occurrence. »

How To Train Your Dragon Trailer

2 November 2009 10:54 AM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »

I've been seeing posters around for the upcoming Dreamworks animated 3-D film How to Train Your Dragon for a couple of months now, and I haven't once been inspired to seek out any additional information about it. I hadn't even watched the first teaser trailer that surfaced online back in September, but now that a longer trailer has arrived over at Yahoo! [1], I figured I might as well give it a shot. Directed by Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders (Lilo & Stitch), the movie is about a young Viking named Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, who sets off to slay a dragon, and ends up befriending one instead. One thing that is kind of interesting is the fact that Jay Baruchel is voicing the main character and his dry, non-typical delivery seems to hold some promise. Other voices include Gerard Butler, Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Craig Ferguson, Kristen Wiig, and America Ferrera. »

How to Train Your Dragon Trailer

2 November 2009 10:42 AM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

The title makes it sound like a Japanese monster hunter RPG, but How to Train Your Dragon is actually an animated film by directors Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders (Lilo & Stitch), in conjunction with Dreamworks, about an unlikely hero who befriends a dragon, even while he is expected to capture and train it by means of tribal initiation. The CG film doesn’t look like it’s trying to do anything original, but hopefully it will be good for a few laughs: I like how they downplayed the dragon at the beginning, before it carried away the sheep. And if nothing else, the Vikings look like comedic gold. How to Train your Dragon stars Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Craig Ferguson, Kristen Wiig, and America Ferrera. It will be released on March 26th, 2010 in 3D. »

How to Train Your Dragon Trailer Fails Its First Test

2 November 2009 10:06 AM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

There's a pun here somewhere. I just can't find it. Perhaps it is something along the lines of, "perhaps Dreamworks Animation should learn how to make a good animated movie" before they tackle the dragon training. Or, "perhaps they should stop assembling voice casts with names that are hot and concentrate on character." I'm not sure. They both seem to work, so you take your pick. Yahoo Movies has splayed out the first trailer for How to Train Your Dragon, the next animated adventure from Dreamworks Animation. And at first glance, I can't see much here to be excited about. Just when we thought Dreamworks was coming around last year with Kung Fu Panda, they go and drop Jay Baruchel's all-too-recognizable voice into the story of a boy who just wants to be a real viking warrior. And in order to do so, he has to befriend a dragon, engaging »

Behold the first full length trailer for Dreamworks' next animated feature, How To Train Your Dragon. Rather than throwing a large group of smirking animals together in some hilarious situation, Dragon is going a slightly down different path, featuring a mix of both humans And creatures.
