]]>Trailer of the Week: Snow White and the Huntsmanhttp://www.tobinaddington.com/main/2011/11/17/trailer-of-the-week-snow-white-and-the-huntsman.htmlTobin2011-11-18T03:18:54Z2011-11-18T03:18:54ZI know, I know. This shouldn't be good. On paper, it's sounded like I've heard Red Riding Hood was. Pretty dismal. And I'm not even on the anti-Kristen Stewart bandwagon. Go back and watch her in The Safety of Objects or Panic Room or Into the Wild, and tell me I'm wrong.

It's just... this whole revisionist fairy tale thing was old from the get-go. I couldn't remember what movie I'd seen the afternoon after watching the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp Alice in Wonderland, as delightfully mad as that hatter was.

All that said, I can't help being intrigued by this. How about you:

]]>13 Movie Poster Trends...http://www.tobinaddington.com/main/2011/11/6/13-movie-poster-trends.htmlTobin2011-11-06T18:02:56Z2011-11-06T18:02:56Z...and what they say about the movies they're meant to advertise:

1. Tiny People On the Beach, Giant Heads in the Clouds

These movies are always sappy dramas. Do not allow you to be mislead by the trailer or calibre of the people involved into thinking otherwise. The protagonist/his little brother/father and/or love interest is very likely to end up dead. You probably should keep your tissues handy because you'll cry tears of sorrow, tears of joy, tears because you just wasted 13 dollars on this movie. This sort of poster is inevitably used for anything that involves Nicholas Sparks.

]]>Trailer of the Week: Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocolhttp://www.tobinaddington.com/main/2011/10/29/trailer-of-the-week-mission-impossible-ghost-protocol.htmlTobin2011-10-29T15:17:24Z2011-10-29T15:17:24ZTwo things give me hope for this latest installment in a series I could never quite find a way to love. First, it's directed by Brad Bird (The Incredibles); and second, it looks like they're actually a team, not just Tom Cruise running and running and running by himself.

That was an incredibly disappointing moment for me in the first movie -- when his team is killed within the first sequence. One of the joys of the show and the concept, besides the 7/8 theme music, is the teamwork aspect. Looks like it could be back here:

First day of principle photography on PLEDGE, my students' Web Series. So proud. (Follow @tobinaddington for more pics in the next few weeks!)

It could be a good story and a solid film:
