Look I'm probably botching the hell out of that line, but with the amount of money Fast Five made this weekend I believe it is safe to say Vin Diesel and crew definitely packed theirs.
Fast Five starts out where "Fast and Furious" ends(you know I wish they would leave the sites for the old movies up, just for us folks who MIGHT want to link to them, just saying) Dominic Toretta is in a court room about to be sentenced to 25 years in jail. though Brian O'connor has spoken up for him and Toretta has helped to bring down a heroin king pin his favorite judge can't wait to throw the book at him. Behind the bus taking Toretta to prison pulls up 3 cars, one driven by his sister Mia, one driven by O'connor, I forget who was driving the 3rd car after pulling a bus escape that would make Reggie Hammond have a flashback they escape from LA and we see Mia and Brian pull up in the 70's Charger in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.

The Trailers for Hanna
The Debt
This is a revenge thriller about 3 people who track down some monster german doctor, to make him pay for some past crimes. I've seen this trailer before but this time it was a little cut off so the details are fuzzy to me right now. 2 men and 1 woman are having a flashback moment about some fateful day with the kidnapped the monster to stand trial in the outside world. And something went horribly wrong.
Warrior
Warrior is the story of two brothers on a collision course in a mixed martial arts tournament. One is a return fighter turned school teacher, bills are piling up and the big score promised for winning this fight will help him bring solvency to his family. The other is a soldier recently returned home from war a hero in need of direction. The relationship between brothers and father was dysfunctional at best and it seems the stars are gonna give them a chance to settle it old school style. Brother against brother, muscle against muscle, wisdom against youth. Kinda feel like this is me and Lank sometimes because we have about that age difference.

This is the story about "Who really wrote of all shakespeares plays and sonnets". An action and suspense filled thriller making you wonder exactly who is the brilliant mind behind all those Characters that some of us loved and some of us hated back in english lit, drama and creative writing. The trailer was kind of chaotic and it looks like a wild ride.
Fast 5
Yup two weeks in a row for the adrenaline rush flick. The street racers are in Brazil going for a 100 million dollar score and the only thing between them and the open road is The ROCK. Fast cars, Hot babes, over the top action yeah this is definitely a Fast movie

The Trailers for "Sucker Punch"
Conan the Barbarian
This was my first viewing for the Conan the Barbarian movie that has been the subject of much debate at Geektyrant.com as a matter of fact one of the to 3 articles about conan the barbarian on IMDB talking about the upcoming movie points to an article on geektyrant.com so they must be getting a lot of eyes on the subject. It can't be a good thing that I am talking more about Geek Tyrant than I am about Conan, well the trailer was this "smokey" mess where you barely saw anything. You saw the Conan name some beastly looking things but really not alot of detail to sink your teeth into. This movie is starting to move further down my viewing chart. I don't know if you have had folks panning you for MONTHS now and instead of wowing them with the greatness that is your movie you kind of hide behind smoke and shadow, meh that doesn't inspire confidence. Even green lantern with the CGI suit that many seemed to hate showed you the suit in full clear view so you could either love it or hate it but here we are.
So gig for Conan, face your detractors don't hide in the smoke and Mist
Fast 5
Now before you think this is some "flash corps" movie no this is the 5th installment of the fast and the furious. And everybody is together, Paul walker, Vin Diesel, Tyreese, Ludacris, and they have added the huge guns of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. The movie looks awesome THOUGH you could gig them for Han being in it even though he died two movies ago(in fast and the furious tokyo drift) I mean if we are just bringing people to life why is Michele Rodriguez still dead hmm? The heist 100 million dollars out of a government installation. There will be cops, guns, police chases and to these guys "where's the problem". I mean this is an adrenaline junkies paradise from the looks of it, if you thought fast movies were over the top before whew they don't care about the potential "Jump the shark" factor in some of the premises of this movie. They are gonna take their fast cars, their insane modifications point them at your sense of "oh thats just to far" and leave it in the dust. Ol' Conan up there should take a lesson, doesn't matter what people say about you before they see you, what matters is that you take their breath away first chance you get.
X-men:First Class
*Disclaimer* I am a Marvellite, I have been a marvel fan for YEARS so forgive any UNSEEMLY amount of drooling over this picture.
Okay now that thats out the way !!Magneto rips a FREAKIN NUCLEAR SUB OUT OF THE WATER!! it's in the trailer, whether I like the "line up" of the first class or not you show exactly how big the Mutant Power Penis of one of the most powerful mutants around is exactly how much grousing can I do. It also seems to have removed itself from the "time stream" of the wolverine movie, as I believe that is Emma Frost diamonding up in the chair in the trailer for first class and she can't be a full grown woman back in the 60's and a kid in the 80's sorry just won't work. You will see Beast get his blue fur, you will see a young? Mystique(point of little known marvel fact, everytime Mystique shifts form it is almost like she is hitting the life "reset" button, because since her body changes age to that of whoever she is imitating{unless they have since recanted this}if she constantly goes back to whatever age she remembers herself being, well she would then be that age. So if she "remembers" being a hot looking 28 year old woman, she's 28 until they kill her off), Charles has his legs in this movies dunno if we will see magnus take them, Magnus gets his helmet(ahem charles continued use of his legs ain looking too go here folks), a full grown woman with Insect wings(I wondered if this was a POSSIBLE Wasp sighting, because wasp the avenger is actually a mutant as well).
I can geek about this movie forever so let me stop, my "Line up" issue is of course the first line up in the X-men comics was: Cyclops, Beast, Angel, Marvel Girl, and Iceman there have been many additions to the team over the years but to be honest that would be the first class at Xavier's Institute for Gifted Children.
The Hangover part 2
This was a trailer in the minimalist sense of the word. It shows the 3 main characters from the last movie(and a monkey, looks like Ben Stillers from the night at the museum movies) waking up in a weird room, walking down the street and making a few comments to each other. The Dental surgeon now sports a Tyson face tattoo and Rain man has been shaved. And now they have a monkey, I guess you really can't beat having a Tiger in a car with you in the first movie, That is really kind of untoppable. The site has a different trailer but basically you know those 3 wake up in a room after a wild night, it really was a wild night. I may go see this one in theaters.
Arthur
In the 1980's we americans were all introduced to Dudley Moore this British accented actor stole our hearts as this Drunken English GROWN spoiled rich brat to say this movie was funny is an understatement. As a matter of fact the movie was so funny there are quite a few homages to Moore's Arthur on many of todays more adult cartoon shows and in a few comedy acts. So when I heard they were remaking the movie as a fan of the original and not thinking anybody could match Dudley Moore I pretty much completely hated the idea and was like "it will suck, and they should burn in hell"(what there are days when my mouth runs before my brain can edit). Well now I have seen the trailer for Arthur, I slightly rescind my earlier statement Russel Brand MIGHT be able to pull it off. When I saw the poster for it, I was like Arthur? Wtf because just seeing him sitting there in a silly throne didn't spark any memories. But the trailer, the second I heard his name called and heard him speak in character the entire movie flew back in my head, and I smiled.
So Drunken English Fop, who is outrageously rich and has not done a THING in his life(and is extremely proud of it) but spend money, is given an ultimatum by his aging mother. He must marry some high society woman or else she will cut him off for every last dime. 950 million dollars(don't remember how much he was losing in the original movie but I'm sure they've upped the anti since you know a million isn't what it used to be) gone, poof , no more you will be a pauper. No more Boxing lessons with Evander Holyfield, no more music lessons with Yeezy(yes Kanye West), nothing not a dime. Arthur threatens to get a job(to which his mother rightfully laughs) and in the ensuing hijinx he bumps into a tour guide in Grand Central station and falls madly in love. Of course mom doesn't approve thus the story does he give it all up for his common love as well as his attempts to work in the real world(you ever wonder where Will Ferrel got it from in Elf it was Dudley Moore) or do what his mother says and marry miss high society and keep the almost 1 billion dollars(?) (Dollars? He's british shouldn't it be pounds? Maybe I miss heard still a 50 butt loads of dough).
Yup 5 trailers this week I got lucky(then again the trailer for Conan wasn't really a trailer yeah yeah they spoke but you couldn't really see nothing) Linkage is in and ready for your perusal say what your interested in seeing(even chastise me for being so hard on some of these movies or so soft), say what you think is going to be a flop, say why didn't I include the link to Lantern's new trailer instead of the lousy conan trailer. I don't mind the summer movie season is about to start and looks like it MIGHT be fun.
