trailers #4/2013

since the TV shows are getting better and better and because some great ones have ended (breaking bad, dexter …), I give something to look forward to.

1. TRUE DETECTIVE by HBO – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2356777/?ref_=nv_sr_1

this really made me looking forward to january (and because it’s made by hbo, it’s gonna be quite … explicit)

 

2. LOW WINTER SUN by AMC (you know, the folks that gave us the walking dead and breaking bad) – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2314792/?ref_=nv_sr_1

 

3. HOUSE OF CARDS by NETFLIX (yes, it’s the online network and it all episodes were released at once) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1856010/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

this is for the first season – who won 3 emmys … can’t wait for season two

 

4. ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK by NETFLIX http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2372162/?ref_=nv_sr_1

 

5. SHERLOCK (season 3) by BBC http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1475582/

after a long break (due to both actors being in major movies) sherlock holmes is back!

 

6.MASTERS OF SEX by SHOWTIME http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2137109/

 

 

trailers #3/2013

once again, I’m posting promos for TV series. this is what this fall is bringing.

1. Crazy Ones

not really a promo, a ‘behind the scene’ clip but got me really excited about it

2. Intelligence

could be nice, reminds me a little of Nikita (the original La Femme Nikita)

3. Homeland

YES! It’s back for season 3, one of the best TV series I’ve seen in a long time.

4. Hostages

I love Dylan McDermott and the way he plays his characters (I really loved him in American Horror Story) and I hope I will get to see him in the next installment of that disturbing show, but until then…

inspiration for my next project

working on the interior design for my new office space, with an extremely low budget 

trailers #2/2013

actually these are series promos. some upcoming tv series that might be interesting or just summer guilty pleasures

1. the tomorrow people

for x-men fans, here’s something quite similar

 

2. the originals

the vampire diaries spin-off

i’m a fan of klaus (and the british actor that portraits him) and i admit this is one of my guilty pleasures

 

3. hannibal

this has already started but it’s very, very good

 

4. da vinci’s demons

looking very stylized and … resembling a fantasy graphic novel

 

5. in the flesh

interesting BBC original series (got me very curious)

 

6. graceland

seems alright, got a small amount of my attention

 

7. agents of S.H.I.E.L.D

because the Avengers struck gold, they are milking every angle – like this one. nonetheless, could be interesting

 

8. ironside

nothing like a cop with attitude… good ol’ fashion police investigation series

 

9. almost human

buddy cop, or better yet a cop and a funny android … seems like fun

 

cool house #24

location: Sydney

status: for sale , source: design to inspire

reason for coolness: i would really like to live there

trailers #1/2013

it’s been a while since the last batch of trailers, but i haven’t found anything to really catch my eye (and i’ve been really busy)

so here it goes:

1. ELYSIUM – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1535108/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

“they will hunt you to the edge of the earth for this”… sounds a bit cliché, but then again it comes from the director of district 9 (which i loved) so i will check it out.

 

2. THE ICEMAN – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1491044/?ref_=sr_1

“you think God’s gonna save you? you tell Him to come down and stop me” … true story or not, the trailer really got me interested (especially the cast – michael shannon is a really good character actor)

 

3. ONLY GOD FORGIVES – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1602613/?ref_=sr_1

“wanna fight?”  … i heard mixed things about “drive” and i haven’t seen it (yet) so i’m not sure what to say about this one, looks like it has somewhat the same tone (and same leading actor). the trailer however is good-looking.

 

4.  BEHIND THE CANDELABRA – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1291580/?ref_=sr_1

“nobody has ever been closer to me than this young man” … this says it all (and you see michael douglas and matt damon in some very special roles); besides, i just love how soderbergh makes his movies.

 

5. STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1408101/?ref_=sr_1

… my pulse is raising, i really liked the last movie and j.j. abrams is one hell of a sci-fi creator (he produces, writes, directs etc extraordinary movies and tv shows)

 

6. THE WOLVERINE – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1430132/?ref_=sr_1

… this could be worse, but i will see it nonetheless (huge x-men fan)

 

7. FAST & FURIOUS 6 – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1905041/?ref_=sr_1

… what can i say, you got my full and undivided attention, big loud dumb fun, just the way i like it

 

8. 2 GUNS – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1272878/?ref_=sr_1

… this reminds me of tango and cash so it could be fun. now the bad guy is admiral adama (Edward James Olmos) and on the soundtrack i heard all along the watchtower (remake) so that’s a little unimaginative (BSG fans will know)

 

and that’s a wrap (for today)

cool “house” #23

ot technically a house, but a house for art creation

name: Contemporary Art Center Cordoba

location: Cordoba, Spain

reason for coolness: media facade

architect(s): Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos

source: dezeen 

last batch of trailers for this year .. #10/2012

1. AFTER EARTH – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1815862/

Will Smith and his son playing … father and son (surprise, you did not see that one coming, right ?)… but, skipping that, i liked the idea of an evolved Earth were every life form is trying to kill humans (like parasites).

 

2. OBLIVION – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1483013/

On the same note as the previous trailer, here’s a different take on a depopulated Earth.

 

3. PACIFIC RIM – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1663662/

today, apocalypse was canceled … what we have here is rougher version of Real Steel robots that take on some large, very large, creatures. normally i would really care about this movie, but it’s written and directed by Guillermo del Toro which sounds promising.

 

4. MAN OF STEEL – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0770828/

the official full trailer for the new superman movie is here

 

5. WELCOME TO THE PUNCH – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1684233/

a movie produced by Ridley Scott; considering how much I love the acting of James McAvoy I am really looking forward to this one.

 

6. NOW YOU SEE ME – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1670345/

last, but not least, A HEIST MOVIE !!!! yes, I’ve been waiting for a good heist movie for some time now so please be good, please be at least as good as your trailer !!!
