Watch: Sam Mendes' First Video Blog for Bond 23 'Skyfall' Revealed
"Here was a real man in a real situation again." The very first video blog for Bond 23, Skyfall, has debuted on the official 007.com website (via ComingSoon). Taking a cue from The Hobbit, director Sam Mendes presents the first of hopefully many video blogs from the set of Skyfall, this time talking about why he was the perfect guy for the job. He also says some nice things about Daniel Craig, returning as Agent 007, and gives us a tease of the locations he's been shooting in England. "It is still possible to make a big, fabulous, glamorous, escapist movie and yet - at the same time, to say something about the world we're living in."

Video Blog: 'Amazing Spider-Man' Worldwide Preview Event Footage!
Sony is kicking off their marketing for The Amazing Spider-Man today with a worldwide preview event held in numerous cities around the world. Fans were invited in and were shown the brand new trailer in 3D (watch the trailer online now) as well as eight minutes of extra never-before-seen footage, some of which was unfinished, but all of which was awesome. I've been very excited for this movie since our first tease at Comic-Con last year, but with the footage we saw today, I'm completely sold and even more hyped for this. Marc Webb was the right guy, Andrew Garfield was the right guy, this is looking better the more we see.

Sundance 2012 Video Blog: Mark Webber's Intimate 'The End of Love'
One film that premiered in the later half of the Sundance Film Festival that has still left a lasting impact on myself and Ethan is a intimate portrait of a father and son from writer/director/actor Mark Webber. You may know him as Stephen Stills in Scott Pilgrim, but Webber is a talented actor who's been starring in indies for years (I met him at my first Sundance in 2007). His new film, The End of Love, is his directorial debut starring himself and his 2-year-old boy Isaac as they try to cope with living in Los Angeles without his mother. It's very touching and raw, but a captivating look at the relationship between a father and his son.

Sundance 2012 Video Blog: Awesome New Horror Anthology 'V/H/S'
The found footage "genre" has become trend in Hollywood, with new Paranormal Activity's replacing the Saw films every year, and many more to come. When it comes to horror found footage films, Sundance has a strong history, with Blair Witch Project premiering back in 1999. Jump ahead 13 years to 2012 and here we are with another genre reinvention, this time refreshing the horror anthology idea with a found-footage film titled V/H/S, about VHS footage, produced by Brad Miska of Bloody-Disgusting. It's an awesome collection of six freaky, fantastic horror films rolled into one and we've got our first video blog about it to watch below.

Sundance 2012 Video Blog: 'Tim & Eric's Billion Dollar Movie' Is Nuts
"My Dad told me this was the coolest mall ever. You think you know more than my Dad? Don't f**kin' come then!" For the first Midnight at Park City screening here at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, Adult Swim stars Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim returned to the festival (after debuting their strange short The Terrys last year) with Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie. Our titular characters try to earn a billion dollars to pay back the money they wasted on a big movie, and myself and Germain Lussier from SlashFilm recorded a video blog reviewing the film and letting people know whether it's just for the fans.

Video Blog: Footage from Josh Trank's 'Chronicle' Looks Awesome
It's all fun and games until everybody gets hurt. Yesterday afternoon I was invited down to the Fox lot in Century City to see roughly 20 minutes of never-before-seen footage revealed from an upcoming film called Chronicle. Directed and conceived by Josh Trank, co-written with Max Landis, it's a new "found-footage" film about high school kids who get telekinetic superpowers - we featured a kick ass trailer for it last year. While the footage didn't reveal anything major plot-wise, we did get a glimpse at a few of the more intense moments and it looks amazing, I cannot wait to see it, one of my most anticipated pre-summer 2012 movies.

Steven Spielberg's 'War Horse' Video Review with Alex, Peter, Brandon
"Can you imagine flying over a war, and you know you can never look down?" I admit I'm a huge Steven Spielberg fanatic, mostly because I've grown up with his many films and love the epic storytelling he has a knack for. I was anxious to see War Horse, as it brings Spielberg back to the war landscape, which I personally love. I attended a screening of the film nearly a month ago and recorded a video blog at the time with our own Brandon Tenney and Peter Sciretta from SlashFilm, discussing our spoiler-free initial thoughts on the film we'd just seen. It finally arrives in theaters this weekend, so here is our video in full.

Peter Jackson's 'The Hobbit' Video Blog #5 is the Best Christmas Gift
What better way to spend your Christmas weekend curled up by the fire, humming the Dwarven folk song from the teaser trailer, watching another 12-minute video blog about the adventures of Peter Jackson as he continues to film the two Hobbit movies down in New Zealand. The fifth video blog for The Hobbit has just debuted on Facebook (thanks to @iRobulous on the tip & headline suggestion) and it's as spectacular and exciting as you have come to expect. They continue to focus on the logistics location shooting (which is fascinating to see), there's glimpses of Elijah Wood and Quint from AICN as a Hobbit, and more. Enjoy!

Video Blog: 'The Dark Knight Rises' IMAX Prologue was Exhilarating!
Earlier tonight I was invited to come see The Dark Knight Rises six-minute IMAX prologue in glorious full-screen film-projected IMAX. As many know, I am a huge fan of Chris Nolan and his Batman series, and I love The Dark Knight. I wasn't sure what to expect and I haven't been looking at any set photos, so this was all a surprise for me and it was amazing—even for only six minutes! The footage was personally introduced by Nolan himself, who I got to meet after. I won't spoil the experience of watching it unfold, but this is something you must—at any cost—see in full IMAX, it is absolutely exhilarating, your jaw will drop.

Watch: Fourth Fantastic 'The Hobbit' Video Blog from Peter Jackson
They're back! "Shooting The Hobbit in 3D is a dream come true." This video blog, the fourth one from Peter Jackson (via his Facebook) for The Hobbit, focuses mainly on 3D, exploring not only the technical details behind it all, but how/why and what it will all look like in the end. It's fascinating, exciting, and just amazing to watch, I'm still blown away by the fact that we get to watch 10 minute behind-the-scenes videos a year out for these movies. This also confirms my expectations that The Hobbit should be as much of a technological/visual leap as the original Lord of the Rings movies were; I cannot wait. Another must watch!

Video Blog: James Cameron's 'Titanic' in 3D Footage Truly Impresses
I know what you're thinking. James Cameron's Titanic in 3D? Come on, really? But bear with, it's actually not that bad. I was invited to the Paramount lot this morning to see about 18 minutes of converted 3D footage and a brief intro/Q&A with James Cameron and producer Jon Landau. Most already know I'm not a fan of 3D in general (especially converted 3D), but I will honestly say this was impressive. Cameron showed scenes to "jog our memory" of the movie, and he certainly did, as most of us in attendance this morning were considerably impressed by how good Titanic looked in 3D. Video blog and more info below!

Video Blog: 'Ghost Protocol' Burj Khalifa IMAX Footage is Incredible
I love IMAX. Well, I truly love IMAX when it's shot in IMAX, which happens every so often. Thankfully, we have Brad Bird's Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, which features a number of action scenes shot in 70mm IMAX, coming up the end of this year. A week ago I was invited down to the Rave IMAX in LA to see roughly 20 minutes of footage from Ghost Protocol in IMAX - which just got a fantastic new trailer. We saw most of the Burj Khalifa outside scene and later sandstorm escape. If you haven't already guessed, I loved it, the footage was as thrilling, breathtaking, and just plain awesome, as you'd expect, especially in IMAX.
