Unfortunately, due to my recent Eye Surgery and Paramount Pictures screening shenanigans (I raise my fist and cry fowl, FOWL!) it will probably be a few weeks before I can experience Trek. For those of you lucky enough to have peepers, see Star Trek: Into Darkness as it was meant to be seen on a real 7 or 10 story tall iMax Screen, not those FakeMax’s in the malls.
The DMV is lucky enough to have several real iMax theaters where you can see it. Paramount’s Star Trek Into Darkness opens at the Airbus IMAX Theater at the Steven F.Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Va., today, May 15, and in IMAX 3-D at the Samuel C. Johnson IMAX Theater at the National Museum of Natural History May 31. Tickets to see the film at the Hazy Center are on sale at www.si.edu/imax.

It’s been forever, but Vin Diesel’s final Riddick film is just about ready. If the trailer is any indication, it may bring back the dark, twisted, scary, goofy fun of Pitch Black – as opposed to the bloated, ponderous Chronicles of Riddick. Plus, Karl Urban and Katee Sackhoff!
Check it out after the jump. Riddick is in theaters September 6th.

The first trailer has arrived for August: Osage County, the first film by director John Wells. The film, which includes George Clooney and Grant Heslov among its producers, is based on the play by Tracy Letts – whose Killer Joe continued Matthew McConnaughey’s resurgence.
Wells has assembled a cast to rank up there with the greatest – it includes, among others: Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Ewan McGregor, Margo Martindale, Abigail Breslin, Juliette Lewis, Chris Cooper and Dermot Mulroney. Check out the trailer after the jump.

I had much the same reaction to The Great Gatsby that I had to Les Miserables – I could probably enumerate a ton of flaws, but I just don’t care because the overall experience is spectacular.
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s slim novel presented cool characters with understandable motivations and simultaneously captured the essence of an era – the 1920s. It was a tale of love vs. reality with a central character who could be hopelessly corrupt and a shining beacon of hope at the same time.
