Here’s your Fifty Shades of Grey trailer! Happy now?
If you’ve read Trashwire for any length of time, you might remember the post I wrote after reading Fifty Shades of Grey. I had a few issues with the story and the way it seems like everyone’s totally fine with glamorizing abusive relationships. But who gives a shit what I have to say? The books…

Jason Momoa’s ‘Road to Paloma’ a must-see indie
I’ve worked for a film commission, for a film society, and for a film festival, so I have seen my fair share of independent films. Typically indies fall into two categories: the undiscovered gems, and the oh-my-god-your-poor-family-mortgaged-their-house-for-this variety. Thankfully, Jason Momoa’s Road to Paloma falls into the first category with spectacular visuals, an emotional storyline,…

The collection of con artists and the cops includes Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, and Jennifer Lawrence, all delivering like the perfect storm of fantastic filmmaking.

‘Anchorman 2’ does Ron Burgundy justice
Comedy sequels rarely live up to the original movie, especially if the first one became a cult favorite. The typical formula is to just repeat the exact same plot with a few subtle changes here and there. Thankfully, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues manages to avoid sullying the good name of our beloved Ron Burgundy.…

Hiddleston dominates ‘Thor: The Dark World’
Believe it or not, Chris Hemsworth’s outrageously chiseled bod wasn’t my favorite part of Thor: The Dark World. While our titular hero was gorgeous and entertaining, this second entry in the stand-alone Thor movies (those of the non-Avengers variety) was dominated by none other than Tom Hiddleston as Thor’s charmingly villainous brother, Loki.

P.M. trailer showcases Colorado filmmakers
Chances are, most of you know I’m kind of a film nerd. In my nerdy travels, I worked at the Colorado Film Commission, where I met Ben Martinez. Now he and friends Dave Franco and Kris Simms have made a movie—and based on this trailer it looks like a good one! Check out the trailer…
