Movie Trailer: Cleopatra
The biggest, loudest, gaudiest and more decadent of all Hollywood films. Famous for being the movie that nearly bankrupted 20th Century Fox, this epic of all epics that in it's longest released for is four hours long is an ode to excess. With the swooning Elizabeth Taylor and boozy Richard Burton at the front this movie hasn't dated well. In the end, this movie is a bloated spectacle of remarkable scale which means that it is a curiosity. You can try to watch it if you dare but chances are you'll never make it the full four hours.

Yeah, I said four hours.

Don't feel like suffering for that long? Try out the trailer below, it will give you a glimpse of the grandiose film without having to sit through Burton slurring his lines.





Screenwriter: Joseph L. Mankiewicz (The Honey Pot), Ranald MacDougall (Man on Fire) and Sidney Buchman (A Song to Remember)
Director: Joseph L. Mankiewicz (Sleuth), Rouben Mamoulian (Porgy & Bess) and Darryl F. Zanuck (The Longest Day)

Movie Trailer: City of Ember
The film looks impressive enough, but does it have a story to match? Based on the novel by Jeanne Duprau, this film tells the story of an underground city whose electricity has been set to cease. Some teens search clues explaining the city's origin in hopes of saving the population before the lights go out. This has a great deal going for it. The plot is interesting and is centered on a deadline - deadlines are great plot devices. The cast is strong, the screenwriter Caroline Thompson has a good track record with not only adaptations (Black Beauty, The Secret Garden, Buddy) but also with quirky material (Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Addams Family). The only unknown element in the production is director Gil Kenan. Kenan handled the well-received animated feature Monster House but hasn't released a live-action picture yet.

Just taking it on looks alone, I have to admit, I'm looking forward to it.
