Trailer: Mr. Peabody and Sherman

Posted on January 27, 2014 at 3:14 pm

I got to get an early glimpse of a couple of scenes from this reboot of the classic cartoon, and it looks like a lot of fun.  Recognize the voices?  The brilliant scientist and adoptive father who happens to be a canine is voiced by “Modern Family’s” Ty Burrell and his TV daughter Ariel Winter as Penny.

And here’s a reminder of the original from the Jay Ward “Rocky and Bullwinkle” series.

If you miss seeing Dan Stevens in “Downton Abbey,” here’s a chance to see him back in pre-WWI England again, here’s your chance, in “Summer in February,” based on the true story of painter A.J. Munnings (Dominic Cooper), known for his paintings of horses and his furious antipathy to modernist art.  The movie is the story of a tragic love triangle, co-starring Stevens and Emily Browning.  The gorgeous Cornwall scenery provides the setting.

Trailer: The Pretty One with Zoe Kazan as Twins

Posted on January 19, 2014 at 3:56 pm

The trailer for Zoe Kazan’s new film “The Pretty One” has her playing a pair of identical twins.

The storyline reminds me of the classic Bette Davis film, “A Stolen Life.”

(Davis also played identical twins in another film, “Dead Ringer.”)

One of my all-time favorite Carol Burnett movie parodies was her version of “A Stolen Life,” called “A Swiped Life.”
