Screen Junkies releases videos called honest trailers each week. Here’s the honest trailer for Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity, which stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. Cuaron is up for a best director Oscar for the film and deservedly so. It’s a pretty great (and terrifying) movie.

Spike Jonze was Not Amused in this Interview
Director Spike Jonze appeared on BBC’s Newsnight last Friday to talk about his film Her, which is nominated for several Oscars, including best picture.

Ninja Turtles!
So they’re making another Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. The original was kind of cartoony, even though it wasn’t a cartoon. The new one doesn’t look like it will be that at all.

Michael Bay Can’t Handle it When the Teleprompter Doesn’t Work
Director Michael Bay. What can I say. I think he’s a hack. Transformers? Thanks for ruining my favorite childhood toy for all time. Pearl Harbor? Armageddon? Atrocious movies. The only things you’ve even been involved with that were actually good were Bad Boys and The Rock.
