Short Film Review: Magnetic
Rogue Agent “Dark Suit” (Alexander Hashioka-Oatfield) is
finally tracked down by Rookie Agent “Light Suit” (Jessie Bayani). The game appears to be up as “Dark Suit” has
his hands up against a wall and is being frisked by “Light Suit.” “Dark Suit” suddenly gets the drop on his
less experienced counterpart, disarming him.
A pitched battle ensues in the tiny space as “Light Suit” struggles to
regain the upper hand over his prey. In
the end, only one agent will walk away from this alive.
Movie Trailer: The Avengers - Official Trailer #2
By now, moviegoers have surely been shown enough of The Avengers via trailers and
commercials to have an idea of what the film holds in store. Each successive advertisement has tried to
expand the scope of the film a bit. They’ve
been successful to an extent, though it still seems like the first episode in
an extravagant television series rather than an ambitious big screen epic. That notwithstanding, it must be acknowledged
that there appears to be some very good stuff here. The latest trailer, billed as the second
official one, plays like a two and half minute highlight reel. It’s a procession of money shots in which
each character gets to shine a bit. Some
moments are so good that one wishes they would have been saved for the film
itself.
