And here’s the CGI-rich trailer for the second “Snow White” movie that Hollywood will be pumping out.

First there was “Snow White & the Huntsman,” which is all angsty and dark, and stars the ever-glowering Kristen Stewart as Snowie, and Charlize Theron as the Evil Queen.

This one, called “Mirror Mirror,” is funny, and stars Julia Roberts as the wise-cracking baddie, with an ingenue in the role of Ms. White.

Enjoy:

And here I thought the sulky genius of Kristen Stewart would fade away after the final two “Twilight” movies made their debut — one opens this week (yay!).

Instead, this trailer for “Snow White & the Huntsman” looks 100 percent freakier than any sparkly vampires.

The CGI special effects seem pretty awesome here, from the explosion of scary birds to the soldiers who shatter like black glass to the de-aging of the Evil Queen to the blobbish mirror-mirror-not-on-the-wall.

And not one single sign of any adorkable whistling dwarves to be found.

Oh, just watch:

You had me at lotsa.

Here’s the trailer for the upcoming movie “The Avengers.”

Here is the trailer for “The Thing,” a revival of the classic movie that is now set in the frozen somewhere.

Not for the fainthearted:

This very clever spoof trailer for the upcoming Muppets movie channels a very overwrought teaser for another film, “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.”

I love me some Muppets.

The revival of the longtime classic will be in theaters in late November.

Enjoy the witty take:

Earlier this week, I posted a teaser clip for “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1,” and now the entire movie trailer has been released.

It’s pretty much werewolves and vampire pregnancy and, well, the one where Bella and Edward finally …

Enjoy:

Here’s a short movie teaser trailer for “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1,” the one in which Bella and Edward finally marry. Unfortunately, she’s a woman in love with a sparkly vampire and she doesn’t love what’s going through her.

As in a honking big Dracula baby, coming to theaters on November 18!

It seems the computer-generated imagery in “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” convinced critics and audiences that the well-worn movie series prequel is a winner.

It grabbed $54 million at the box office over its opening weekend.

Its producer, Peter Chernin, told me that a lot more of the film than it seems — including the stunning opening scenes in the wild that look like a real-life nature special — were mostly CGI, used to prep audiences for extended scenes of the apes morphing into believable rebels.

Here is the last trailer for the movie:

If this movie trailer for upcoming indie film and Sundance favorite “Like Crazy” doesn’t make you relive the bittersweet agony of every doomed relationship you have ever had since puberty, then you must be a robot.

This small movie is being called the “Love Story” of today and is getting big play all over the Internet, mostly for its combo of scenes from a young and dashed love and Ingrid Michaelson’s melancholy version of the classic song “Can’t Help Falling in Love.”

So please grab the tissues and enjoy:

Okay, Hollywood has apparently made a movie from the classic Hasbro game “Battleship.”

But instead of plastic pegs in a board, it’s chock full of special effects, aliens and a lot of explosions.

Yes, aliens. It’s a long way from B1.

Here’s the teaser trailer:

While it’s hard to believe that a decade has passed since the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York, the 10th anniversary is fast approaching.

One of the myriad of tributes will be “Rebirth,” a documentary film that employs time-lapse photography and also just time passing in the lives of those who lost loved ones in the tragedy.

The film will get both a theatrical and a television release around September 11, and it looks like it deserves it.

Until then, here’s the gripping movie trailer:

Here’s a spectacular first trailer for “The Amazing Spider-Man,” which is the latest movie remake about the web wonder.

Speaking of the Web, the star of the 2012 reboot is Andrew Garfield, best known for playing Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin in 2010′s “The Social Network.”

This time, instead of suing Mark Zuckerberg, he’ll be swinging from skyscrapers in his red-and-blue suit and looking all distant and moody when he is not.

From the way this teaser unfolds, that’s going to be riveting.

In honor of Comic-Con International, the huge and nerd-tastic comic book convention, opening tonight, here’s the new teaser trailer for the third of Hollywood director Chris Nolan’s elegant Batman movie series, “The Dark Knight Rises.”

The movie debuts next year and will be the final installment for this franchise. The previous film starred the late Heath Ledger as the Joker.

And, this latest effort already looks creepier and darker than ever, featuring a leather-clad Catwoman (played by Anne Hathaway) and a whole lot of special effects:

In a surprise cameo, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick has gone Hollywood, appearing in a new trailer for the movie “Moneyball.”

Based on the excellent Michael Lewis book about the Oakland Athletics baseball team and its quirky general manager Billy Beane, who is played by Brad Pitt, Kotick is apparently playing its owner.

Kotick seems to do a pretty good job as a sports mogul, which is not much different than his one as a gaming mogul. And, if it works out as it seems it will, a social networking mogul as a possible new owner of Myspace.

Here’s the video of the trailer for the film, which comes out in September, with Kotick:

While I was in Los Angeles recently, I was invited to a private screening of a documentary about the New York Times called “Page One: Inside the New York Times.”

The film, which debuted at the most recent Sundance Film Festival, opens Friday.

The documentary is by Andrew Rossi, who spent a year following reporters and editors at the famed newspaper, even as the media landscape shifted dramatically due to the impact of digital technologies.

Luckily for me, one of the movie’s principal characters — and I do mean character when it comes to him — is the Times’ quirky media columnist, David Carr.

I met Carr a dog’s age ago, when he ran “The City Paper” in Washington, D.C. He has only gotten more interesting over time, especially as the Web has transformed the news business.

Actually, wrecked the news business seems more the sensibility of “Page One” and also the audience at the screening, which largely bemoaned the troubles that quality papers have gotten themselves into in the age of the Internet.

Of course, the situation at the Times is a lot more complicated than that and there are some significant benefits to readers in the new paradigm, even if it did not help traditional media.

Carr winks and nods to both sides of the debate in the film — his attack on Web bad boy Michael Wolff over aggregation is priceless, even though he clearly loves the Internet’s thrilling possibilities, too.

As I have previously written, what is probably most interesting is that many of the stories covered by the Times in the film are about the technological forces that have put it and other traditional media organizations through the digital ringer in recent years.

Here’s the video of my interview with Carr — please, as I tried to, ignore his rant at the start about the Times’ failed talent raid on a defenseless little tech blog site! — as well as an exclusive clip and the trailer for the movie:

As readers of mine know, I write a semi-ranty post now and again about the lack of women in high-level tech jobs and on the boards of its major companies.

While things are a lot better in the digital industry than, say, in meat-packing, it is still a slow slog to equality in both power and influence, even with ever more enlightened male tech leaders.

Many years ago, for example, I posted a piece, titled “The Men and (No) Women Facebook of Facebook Management” There were none in the high echelons of the social networking start-up at the time.

More recently, I wrote a piece — “The Men and No Women of Web 2.0 Boards (BoomTown’s Talking to You: Twitter, Facebook, Zynga, Groupon and Foursquare)” — about how all the often touchy-feely men entrepreneurs of the hottest Web 2.0 companies had a glaring problem.

While most of them have women as a majority of their customers, they could not seem to find even one qualified woman for any of their boards.

This makes it a struggle even in programming our D: All Things Digital conferences. We have featured almost every significant female tech exec we could — from eBay’s Meg Whitman to Hewlett-Packard’s Carly Fiorina to Yahoo’s Sue Decker and, later, Carol Bartz to Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg to this year’s amazing DARPA head Dr. Regina Dugan.

But it is still definitely not enough and a failing we think about improving all the time.

I could go on — and I am going to go on even more this fall in the pages of Glamour magazine, which has asked me to write an essay on where all the women in tech are and what is their status today and in the future.

I will also be part of what I hope will be a provocative panel, moderated by Glamour editor-in-chief Cindi Leive, in New York City on October 11.

The panel, said Glamour, “will ask where all the women are and why don’t we see more of them — and tell why the next Mark Zuckerberg should be a ‘Marcia.’”

I am not so sanguine that that will occur anytime soon, but it will be good to talk about this important issue. Diversity is at the heart of true innovation and more of it is needed for tech to thrive in the coming years.

I will also be helping select the panelists for the Glamour event and would welcome any suggestions, especially some ideas that are not typical.

Until then, here’s the impressive Dugan at D9 last week, as well as a video of the movie trailer for 1995′s “Hackers,” in which Angelina Jolie plays a hard-charging techie who is her mostly dude colleagues’ equal.

A lot.

No more need be said. Except: Smurf happens.

Just watch the trailer:

At this rate, they are going to put out Woody Allen films using the technology.
