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.
Anonymous
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 power of YOU
It's a rainy night in some dark, desolate looking locale, floating on the breeze is a song "sweet dreams are made of these" in a slow almost pained moan. We are taken into a room two younger girls, one blonde one raven haired sit clutching each other as a man comes in and shakes his head. The blonde runs into a bedroom to pull the cover off the now departed soul, a female and she looks a a tall balding chubby male who seems to be cheerful at the passing of this woman.

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.

The trailers for: "I am number 4"
Disney's Prom
I almost thought this was "High School Musical" whatever because I mean thats what it looked like:a generic angsty teen age movie where the kids were basically hashing out what they were going to do for their last big hurrah: Senior(I'm assuming) Prom. It appears to follow the "hi jinx" of 4 couples(actually 3 couples and one dude trying to ask out his high school crush, snake bit doesn't begin to explain the futility of dudes attempts). Nope not even remotely interested in this movie further the fact that it made me think it was another movie I had no desire to see did not bode well for it in my mind. There have been a million "Teen coming of age" movies many of them were epic and we fell in love with them:Weird Science, 16 Candles, The breakfast club, hell Superbad, Ferris Beulers day off, meatballs okay problem is many of the movies that are going to pop into my head were the classics from my day. I guess Juno could be considered one as well, Clueless, minds drawing a blank really on some of the names I can see some of the actors faces but see that is me going through a lot more work then is necessary for a movie I think is going to be dull and boring.

The trailers of Tron:legacy
Cowboys & Aliens
I've heard about this movie Jon Favreau's baby he has an all star cast, looks wild. Cowboys vs aliens. He gets props just for getting Harrison ford back in a movie, on a horse, wearing a fedora.
It's the wild west and a stranger wakes up with an odd device on his arm and no memory. It seems he's pissed a few people off and they want restitution, when all the sudden in the skies a bright light. All hell breaks loose as aliens come down in the wild west, and the only person who seems to be equipped to handle it is the stranger with no memory of whats going on and his strange device.
Real steel
A robot fighting movie. Big metal butt kickery, it looks (baby bro says it looks like Rock em Sock em Robots) interesting. I dunno I'll have to look it up and get some more info about it. It looks like its kind of gritty so I might like it, basically an old boxer/fighter (played by hugh jackman) has a huge robot he is trying to take to the highest heights(I've linked to the IMDB and the movie trailer for this one)
Pirates of the Carribean:on stranger tides
Jack sparrow, Barbosa, one of Jacks ex girlfriends, and Blackbeard the pirate. The full cast that made the first 3 movies work is not together but I guess they wanna try one more time. Might be comical who knows
Everybody is after Jack Sparrow, as you remember from the ending of "At worlds End" jack sparrow has the mystical map and is off in search of the "Fountain of Youth", the thing is EVERYBODY wants to get to the fountain so now once again everyone is after Capt Jack sparrow. High seas High jinx ensue as the Pirates of the Caribbean sail on stranger tides

On the way to see Legacy with the bredren
Now yes this is the last Mega Hyped movie of the year, I've had a good year of movie watching. Yes I've seen some horrid crap, but for the most part I like the movies I chose to spend money on this year. This one right here though, I've been waiting ever since the first hint dropped in July. I don't know what I'm gonna do for the trailers, I'm may switch the letters to tron green in honor of finally seeing it(granted I'll be pissed if it sucks, it shouldn't Disney has waited this long to sequelize this movie).
We're coasting to the sounds of MF Doom both of my brothers are fans, I think he's cool but they actually go on missions to find his music. If he ever comes to Memphis near one of their birthdays I'll buy them tickets. I can't wait to get a pic of the Deez, I mean usually when we lived out east it was always about hitting the majestic. Nice seats plenty of choices, not far from the house that's all you can ask for.
We've seen a lot of blockbusters since they've been grown. I guess you can say its our "thing" now, it used to be playing video games together if I ever get my 360 back and I can save my old account I guess we can go to the online and start BOMBING on each other. While we love each other, our best Halo memories were mercing each other. Lank is usually absent as of late but hey, I was at his age too I'd just be out.
But the 3 of us together going to see a movie at least this time I won't be sitting here knocking at midnight to get in the door

After the credits rolled
There was:nothing
Yup I stayed after the credits so you didn't have to, it would have been nice if there was something at the end of Tron:legacy but it was a good movie all by itself, blog to come later. Trailer blog and "omw to the movies" blog to come whenever my E-mail posts on the blog's draft section WTF this is like 18 hours late

Feeling like the white rabbit
I was a bad boy, I got sucked into "Push" and forgot to charge my phone BUT as baby bro has the Torch now I'm using his half charged battery for the walk up and will use my half charged battery for the walk back.
As I'm walking I believe I will check out "the Chronicles of Narnia, Voyage of the Dawn Treader"(almost lost this blog forgot I started it on the camera). Now I used to own a book of all the collected Narnia works, as I have often said I read a lot as a child. Being a latch key kid with not a lot of friends or near by relatives books and TV were how you got by. I mean yes Nickelodeon had started while I was a child but NOTHING like it is today, and Cartoon Network the stuff of dreams I tell ya.
It was just your 2-3 hour after school block and maybe a holiday special. Rudolph, Charlie Brown, a Muppet something or other who programmed for kids we didn't have money, we didn't buy anything aah how times change.
CS Lewis is said by some to have been a christian story teller. He crafted his love able stories with a central Messiah like figure (Aslan) who may not have been there with you EVERY moment
Okay made it to the movie theater with time to spare I'll expand on my CS Lewis thoughts later

This is the story of a sad flute, a laughing baby and a weeping sword
I will admit this is cheating when I heard this in the opening narration I immediately pulled out my phone and typed it in, I knew it would be my title for the review. Opening lines like this is why I used to tune in to Kung Fu theater every Saturday afternoon to watch this epic tales of martial artist on quests of vengeance, self fulfillment or for honor and glory. It's a story of a soon to be hero who may not be perfect but he will grow on you and make you happy to have come along for the ride, so to the movie:
The Warrior's Way

On the combatants path
Yes that is a lot to cram into one movie, yes it looks like a comic book geeks wet dream(yeah like I've ever denied being a comic book geek), and yes there are lots of ways this can become an epic fail. I'm still psyched to be walking to go see it, mad props to @thinkhero and @geektyrant for having the trailers of this movie up on their sites. First place I saw them and it wet my apetite for the movie.
And I want to be honest I hope its an over the top movie, martial arts movies are best when its over the top. Mysticism draws me in, so what if I can't figure it out, or I have a hard time believing it. If I'm spending major amounts of time debunking what happened in your movie, you win. For me to have to "debunk" something that happened in a movie means it captured the hearts and minds of millions. The fact that 30 years after the original Episode IV a new hope scientist are still doing "scientific debunkings" and discussing the practicalities of lucas' epic let's you know the power of that work.
When people just brush you off, you are a fad, a trend maybe a slow growing movement. But when they start discussing you outside of your medium, they start trying to lower the expectations of us reality because: why hasn't science or industry given us this, man you kicked some tail. I don't care what it is at some point in time if its advanced now it was an irrational fantasy of someone who thought outside the box.
Even if its magical, how many times have we heard tales of magic, might and triumph? So the fact that you have capture peoples imagination with you telling, made them want to be a part of your vision is outstanding.
People can always tell you how to do what is expected, what others have done before and made common place. To be extraordinary or exceptional that takes a lot of personal effort. At the theater again I'll take another pic do the trailer blog and cya after the movie.

The trailers for "The Warrior's Way"
The rite
This is the new age exorcism movie again. Loosely based on supposed recent event Anthony Hopkins as the head exorcist up against a new "scourge" or demons/demonic possessions. He has a new young assistant/apprentice who is skeptical about the "veracity" of this slew of possession claims.
It looks decent, it looks like its not so much in the vein of the blair witch/haunting in where ever but the older school movies. Where while some may have been skeptical debunking was not at the top of the agenda. Probably a good date movie if you date is jumpy and is the "hold me close, keep me safe" type might not be for the faint of heart.
Drive angry
Now let me say this first some people are gonna hear the opening narration, look and Nick cage and scream "ghost rider rip off". Let me say this to those folks:not unless they wanna pay Disney/Marvel a crapload of dough.
Nick Cage plays a dead man who escaped from hell to save his daughter or his daughters daughter(its a little murky). Some cult murdered two of the women that survived the punished soul and he didn't take to kindly to that. He does get one hell of a one liner though this demon tracking him says "you better hope the devil doesn't find out" to which Cage replies "Or what he's not gonna let me back in?". Love it might have to watch this movie iy looks a little cheesy kinda "Memphis Reigns meets The Spirit of Vengeance" since in Drive Angry its cars not a motorcycle from hell(aptly named the Hell Cycle). UnGodly(slight pun intended) weapons, big explosions, a femme fatale and some possible demonic butt kicking. Could be fun.
Season of the witch
Second time seeing this trailer the exact same trailer I saw last time I'll hit imdb to give you character names. Same synopsis well known storied hero is charged with taking an accused witch to some distant land to have her powers broken and them be burned at the stake.
Behman(Nicolas Cage) is not sure all is what it seems and a battle between two armies and POSSIBLY metaphysical good and evil may be about to commence. Is she an evil witch or demonic concubine or some other strange empowered female. Dunno again swords and sorcery if done right tend to make a lot of money.
The fighter(the mickey ward story)
Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale star in this Biopic about Mickey Ward, the Boston prize fighter known for his huge heart. Wahlberg plays ward showing his rise from his early days as a stepping stone, a hard nosed fighter who didn't finish his fights well and thus made his opponents look good. Anybody who owned Fight Night Round Two has probably heard the intro about the wars fought between Mickey Ward and Arturo Gatti.
Ward is a pretty decent fighter so actually I might watch this one even though I'm not a huge mickey ward fan(hey I'm sorry but the more you made Gatti bleed but couldn't get the ref to stop the fight the more likely you were about to lose. Gatti was like a real life Rocky Balboa the second you counted him out you were on the canvas) but I have seen him fight a few times and I respect the mans hustle.
Okay around the corner from the house time to bed this one add the links and the edits and post it

Now let me say this first some people are gonna hear the opening narration, look and Nick cage and scream "ghost rider rip off". Let me say this to those folks:not unless they wanna pay Disney/Marvel a crapload of dough.
Nick Cage plays a dead man who escaped from hell to save his daughter or his daughters daughter(its a little murky). Some cult murdered two of the women that survived the punished soul and he didn't take to kindly to that. He does get one hell of a one liner though this demon tracking him says "you better hope the devil doesn't find out" to which Cage replies "Or what he's not gonna let me back in?". Love it might have to watch this movie iy looks a little cheesy kinda "Memphis Reigns meets The Spirit of Vengeance" since in Drive Angry its cars not a motorcycle from hell(aptly named the Hell Cycle). UnGodly(slight pun intended) weapons, big explosions, a femme fatale and some possible demonic butt kicking. Could be fun.
Season of the witch
Second time seeing this trailer the exact same trailer I saw last time I'll hit imdb to give you character names. Same synopsis well known storied hero is charged with taking an accused witch to some distant land to have her powers broken and them be burned at the stake.
Behman(Nicolas Cage) is not sure all is what it seems and a battle between two armies and POSSIBLY metaphysical good and evil may be about to commence. Is she an evil witch or demonic concubine or some other strange empowered female. Dunno again swords and sorcery if done right tend to make a lot of money.
The fighter(the mickey ward story)
Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale star in this Biopic about Mickey Ward, the Boston prize fighter known for his huge heart. Wahlberg plays ward showing his rise from his early days as a stepping stone, a hard nosed fighter who didn't finish his fights well and thus made his opponents look good. Anybody who owned Fight Night Round Two has probably heard the intro about the wars fought between Mickey Ward and Arturo Gatti.
Ward is a pretty decent fighter so actually I might watch this one even though I'm not a huge mickey ward fan(hey I'm sorry but the more you made Gatti bleed but couldn't get the ref to stop the fight the more likely you were about to lose. Gatti was like a real life Rocky Balboa the second you counted him out you were on the canvas) but I have seen him fight a few times and I respect the mans hustle.
Okay around the corner from the house time to bed this one add the links and the edits and post it

FASTER
This isn't a heroic story, this isn't a movie about redemption or even ascension. This movie is about death, all who wronged this walking wraith have death coming down the highway at them. Driver isn't trying to be saved, he isn't trying to be forgiven. He doesn't want to hear your tearful begging for your life.
He wants you to die, quickly. .38 justice is coming your way and if you haven't made your peace with whatever you pray to, he doesn't give a damn. From the moment the story opens you kind of realize a pent up cat is about to be released, the way he drones the warden out as the warden tries to convince him basically not to do what he can see in his eyes. His only question after the wardens impassioned speech: "Where's the exit".
And when he steps out of the jail is anybody waiting for him, no
Is his ride late, uh uh
He's got a nice long hike in the desert sun to get to a junk yard, with a black and white old school chevelle in it, with a note and a 38 waiting for him. You don't know why the first man dies but those parts of the story are filled in by flashbacks. What you do know, there were no words exchanged. And the men who died all deserved it, while it may look random now (since this revenge was 10 years in the making) these men all have an interconnected history dating back to one fateful day. As one character says "we make our own hell in our lives".
Yes these men all share one day in the past. Lives were lost, destiny was set in motion and the bill has come due. Now one of the men with this outstanding balance they kind of feel a little antsy so they hire Killer to head driver off before he gets down to the end of their list. Killer is an interesting character he is driven by issues from his past to do what he does, it's kind of impulsive he appears to be good at what he does but is he really ready to stop driver in his tracks.
If you have death of course you have to have police or in this case Cop, he's a few weeks from retirement and a complete screw up. He is basically circling the bowl and trying to do right by his ex wife and kid. And here comes this case, a bunch of random people popping up dead no theft, no arguments just dead people. The deeper you get into the movie there is a lagging question that keeps coming up: How did they all happen to meet together on that fateful day, what unfortunate soul is Driver looking for to finally bring all debts current. 2 of those on "the list" have been expecting this day for a long time, when you give birth to a demon he always comes home, 2 I guess never gave a thought to it and one of course called Killer.
So hop in the chevelle, buckle up, and hold on tight because it's time to go Faster

The trailers of "Faster"
Martin Lawrence is back in another "let's throw a comedy star in a fat suit movie" reprising the role he's played twice before. This time dragging Brandon T. Jackson along(percy jackson, tropic thunder). Brandon is Martin's son in this movie he witnesses a murder and is forced to wear a fat suit and attend an all girls school in an attempt to hide from the thugs.
I'll probably watch this one when it comes out on cable like I did Norbit, THOUGH I have yet to watch a single previous Big mama's house all the way before. I mean it was him and I believe Nia long in the first one and I STILL didn't watch it even though I like them both. And since the first one didn't keep my attention the second one came and went without registering.
I know its fun to make fun of fat people and with my extra pounds I make fun of myself and other hefty people. But just like race jokes I have a rule:the jokes must be funny. Now maybe part of the reason why I don't get the Big Mama jokes is because I never had a grandmother, so I can't appreciate the humor in something I longed for but never had. Grandfather movies though I got you, hell give granddad from boon docks a mustache and he kinda looks like my grand father. My Pop Pop was cooler though(I'm just sayin) and my dad's father too
Unknown space movie
Okay this one Looked Awesome, but as you see what I called it that's their one major mistake.
You had mist, you had smoke, you had guns blazing, you MAY have had some robots walking around, it was a quick cut away. I definitely saw what appeared to be space ships flying through the air. Its coming out in 2011, I just don't know what its called. For real I kept saying cool ID4 2 in my mind while watching it, but NOPE no title unless I blinked. I shouldn't call it a space movie actually its "Unknown Earth Invasion" movie. But for real WTF, you wanna create a buzz leave me a link, a name something.
The Rite
Anthony Hopkins in some exorcism movie. Starts off with some fade outs to some white writing, pictures of churches, cathedral music playing. But really ANOTHER exorcism movie? Could it be cool sure, it looks like they are going to go on this whole demonic conspiracy trek, but that's like 2 a year for the last 3 years now ain it.
I mean yeah you could make a Robot Fight movie argument but Iron Man ain Transformers ain GI Joe ain Avatar ain Iron Man 2. Yes more than one dull or shiny metallic butt has danced across our movie screens but its like Bond and Jason bourne yes they can put the smack down on you and are good with a gun but the difference in accents is just the start of the divergences.
Yes the trailer had enough jump in your seat scenes in it to possibly justify bringing a date so that you could play her big, strong, brave, fearless hero but I'm gonna have to see more than just the basic "cookie cutter young possessed girl bending her body at odd angles and throwin up strange unexpected objects" in this trailer she threw up spikes. I guess to signify disdain for Jesus' crucifixion. Possible date movie.
The mechanic
Jason Statham in a car movie, nuff said(yeah yeah, marvel blasphemy but in this cause the term fits). Okay its not really a car movie per se:
Jason Statham plays a "mechanic" which in this movie is code for hitman. He's the best he is at what he does and works for some "mysterious company" possibly CIA or some other letter agency but not expressed in the trailer. It opens with Statham talking to Donald Sutherland about him taking Sutherlands wayward disappointing son under his wing.
Not long after that conversation Sutherland the mentor is killed by the company. And as was foreshadowed by the titles popping up, its just business UNTIL its personal. So basically the bad guys are about to get FUBAR because now Sutherlands wayward son and Statham are coming to kick booty. Big explosions, stuff done with cars like its a ballet, guns, bullets basically all the reasons you go to see a Jason Statham movie thus NUFF SAID.
Okay at the house time to edit and call the wife

I just found out that "the mechanic" is a remake of an old Charles Bronson film, hmmm does this mean Statham might remake a few more Bronson classics?

On a quest to get "Faster"
My mall of choice for most of my time in Memphis was the now MOSTLY defunct Hickory Ridge mall. For most of my time in Memphis it was the mall right down the street now yes I had been to the Mall of Memphis before it shut down(and was then knocked down) but for the majority of my original 6 year stint I was at hickory ridge with brief junkets to WolfChase Galleria(though the only Gal anything mall with a hug place in my heart is the Gallery in Philly).
Call it my "Harbinger of a Declining Economy" but as the entire premise(to my understanding) behind a mall was: enclosed, weather proof, one stop shopping and close proximity for the convenience of consumers with concrete ideas of what they were looking for AND extra discretionary funds in case something shiny caught their eye. Now while walmart may have cheaper pricing on SOME items, some things only helped you if you were a cookie cutter consumer(at first I admit walmart steadily improved itself in the minds and hearts of consumers) so certain things the mall still had them beat on:shoe selection, plus size clothing, electronics selection, tools, automotive, toys, books, etc. Wally world was working its way UP to being your true one stop shop but they weren't quite there yet.
Even in 05 before I left to go to Atlanta the super walmart had just opened down the street so walmarts dominance of my area had not yet begun. After a while though being a second shifter (past 5pm til 1 am or later 3rd shift usually starts after 10 or 11 pm)
Okay at the theater movie about to start about to silence my phone and record the trailers on faster for my walk back. See ya in 2 hours

The trailers HP7
Green Lantern- Hal Jordan test pilot comes across a strange alien vessel and is bequeathed a ring and the responsibility as guardian of this quadrant.
I've already seen the lantern trailer, or should I say the much maligned lantern trailer and yeah its a little blatantly CG but so what. I can recognize core characters, while they have changed the lantern a little I see the lantern now no the trailer isn't giving away the whole movie: is it supposed to?
I mean isn't that why people are panning Jonah Hex, all the cool stuff came in the trailer? Its getting my money because its a ryan reynolds action flick and I'm hoping DC has another potential winner on its hands(I'm a marvellite but good competition breeds good movies) this was my first time seeing the trailer in theater.
Season of the witch - Nicolas Cage and Ron Pearlman in some mideaval crusade flick. I don't know it might be kinda cool, looks action packed a little spooky but we'll see. Sword fights and bloodshed USUALLY sell well. First I've seen of the movie so who knows.
Basically Cage plays a well known hero charged with taking a witch to some far off land to be judged and burned. Hero sees something everyone else doesn't see, lines are drawn Butt Kickery ensues.
Tron:Legacy- yeah I know softball. Tron Legacy, the movie I hope is AWESOME just like the original. A sequal over 20 years in the making. Jeff bridges reprises his role from the original tron and has once again been sucked into the computer
But things have changed the world of the constructs has been given a SERIOUS upgrade. Deadly Discs, Light Cycles, Deressing OH MY!
Unless life goes seriously wrong the next flick will most likely get destroyed head to head.
Yogi Bear- Yogi Bear is smarter than the average bear, unfortunately the studio and producers ain. If there was a week to skip a head to head fight with another studios movie for me tron week would have been it. That's just me though..
Yogi bear and Boo Boo's hijinx in yellow stone park. Pick a nick baskets will be snatched, the ranger will scream himseldf hoarse and chuckles will be had, when it comes out on DVD.
Yes I'm a child of the 80's
Yes I grew up on Hanna Barbera
Yes the Yogster and Boo used to give me belly laughs as a kid, tears, runny nose and snot yes.
I'm still going to see tron opening night.
Red Riding Hood- now this one is a little unexpected. There is a werewolf in town and it strikes at night. I know you see Red Riding hood and you think grandmas house, little girl, basket in the forest, yeah all that.
Wolf okay werewolf its from the director of twilight what do you want. BUT it might be fun, hey Gary Oldman is in it. It seems to have taken the old spooky kids story and made it teenage fare. It might work I mean Alice in wonderland was decent as a dark more adult tale(granted that was Tim Burton and Tim knows dark, Tim knows dark very well) so I'll give red a shot here. As long as its more about story than gimmick who knows.
Okay almost at the house those were the trailers for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1. Anybody interested in any of the films up there, or did you get something different with your potter experience?

To the Hallows I go
I may not have gotten to the midnight opening or copped any of the swag that goes with it, but for me that's not what movie watching is about. Its about walking and smelling gas leaks and hoping nobody gets the urge to light a fart. Nah I'm playing(I just happened to smell gas walking down the street) its about the memories and the moods. I'm a grown kid I still enjoying escaping into a world far away and for whatever amount of time just enjoying being there in that moment.
As a child and young teen I used to obsess about all the negatives in my life. Weighting them as if those were my most important moments, those were the things I would be remembered for. But some sage advice from a man I may not always agree with but I love dearly got me to change what I gave prominence to. Bad things happen regardless of income, intelligence level, athletic ability, artistic merit or charm. You can harm no one and inconvenience no living thing(damn again with the gas is the world about to explode around me) and still run into hardships from time to time. Innocence does not inoculate you from life's trials it just says that you do not deserve such a harsh taskmaster.
Its kind of one of the reasons why I like Harry Potter the story so much. From the beginning he had done nothing a newborn babe, just enjoying what it means to be alive:air, food, the touch of those who love you. Yes he had the potential for great things but we all do, that's why its called POTENTIAL. We might be great, we might be average, we might be boring the only definite is that we will be. That in 7 years(in terms of the story) harry has gone from a shy, unsure, shadow just happy to not be noticed to a young man with the weight of the world on his should who still refuses to break is a great tale.
GRR I hate people who know they are speeding, see you crossing the street, know they could let up on the gas but instead mash on the horn. Its pretty simple hit me with my 260 plus frame and you ain driving far I will jump so I roll over you hood smash your windshield and then you can explain why you have a HUMAN BEING sized hole in the glass. And nah it didn't end well for the little old lady either.
Back to the story so Harry has grown to have great friends(a love that they ignored in the last movie), power, compassion and a small bit of respect for the task at hand. I see the theater but I know I'm earlier so I'm stopping for refreshment first. If this works, I hope such heavy stories like this in the future, if the character already has a big following trust in them to make the movie a success.
Look at Star Wars and Star Trek the first a movie that none that had a chance the second a TV series that aired for what two and a half years MAYBE 3 tops think of the dough those franchises have raked in from 1980 on. How about the Rocky Horror Picture Show, cult classics are just that. Okay about to go buy my ticket so bedding this one

The trailers on skyline
Gullivers travels well did this last week so nothing has changed, the gulliver remake starring jack black. It was the exact same trailer as last week so yes it can work. I think the silly take on this tale might work just depends on if they go too over the top.
It has a nice cast who have pulled off decent comedic parts before so like I said if they mesh the studio will be laughing all the way to the bank. Under dog to big man on campus movie they usually work.
Little fockers-its seems the fockers have children and it is time for old Jack to pass the torch to Gaylord Focker. Its hollywood, them milking this joke for "one more gin" while all the principle characters are still alive and kickin yeah wow big surprise here. It might be funny but the whole viagra knock off 4 hour plus erection joke is getting pretty used and abused.
That looks a little harsh I do like most of ben stillers movies, and rarely do you see a Dinero movie that doesn't work and "Meet the Parents" and "Meet the Fockers" were both successful movies so if the well ain dry I won't blame a studio for takin another shot, I mean who would have thought Shrek would have pulled off 3 sequels?
Unknown-this was a new trailer Liam Neeson plays a doctor who was in a car crash in the water and wakes up 4 days later after being in a coma. As usual nobody can find any ID on him but he has some scattered memories and runs off to meet his wife. It seems though that either he doesn't know who he is or else foul play is afoot.(I couldn't find a better link for Unknown possibly the NEW official site isn't up yet, seems there were a few other unknowns out there)
Now if this sounds familiar yes Arnold, Matt, Halle, Kevin and Ben have all been down a similar road before. The clandestine Alice in Wonderland flick is back. Their usually good rides so let's hope this suspense thriller delivers the trailer has me interested.
Sanctum-big hole in the ground, a chasm like no other that people climb into with a huge rainstorm on the horizon. The last few deep cave movies didn't do well and I think from looking at the trailer this movie might continue the trend. I'm sorry but if a hole wide enough for you to base jump into, and deep as all hell can be filled up in a rainstorm why isn't this a "lake" movie.
Oh I know what the narrator said "blase' blah cave the last unexplored place on earth, blah blah, wonder beauty, blah blah, if you don't make it out no one will know your story" now yes this is a James Cameron movie and with "Avatar" James has earned himself a leap of faith movie. I just watched "skyline" which was an apocalyptic movie so I'm not saying a human peril movie won't work. I'm just saying I the guys who is all for hollywood bringing back the magic is saying he might have added a little too much elfin magic on this one. We'll see, as I see more about it maybe I'll become more interested.
Okay those were my 4 trailers and my initial thoughts of them feel free to agree, disagree or offer your own viewpoints if you think I have been unduly harsh. Everybody doesn't like the same movie, and everyone doesn't always catch the "fever" opening week but if a movie catches on or a new trailers piques interest, word of mouth, whatever I'm sure hollywood will take it.
Aiight bedding this one til I hit the house

Unknown-this was a new trailer Liam Neeson plays a doctor who was in a car crash in the water and wakes up 4 days later after being in a coma. As usual nobody can find any ID on him but he has some scattered memories and runs off to meet his wife. It seems though that either he doesn't know who he is or else foul play is afoot.(I couldn't find a better link for Unknown possibly the NEW official site isn't up yet, seems there were a few other unknowns out there)
Now if this sounds familiar yes Arnold, Matt, Halle, Kevin and Ben have all been down a similar road before. The clandestine Alice in Wonderland flick is back. Their usually good rides so let's hope this suspense thriller delivers the trailer has me interested.
Sanctum-big hole in the ground, a chasm like no other that people climb into with a huge rainstorm on the horizon. The last few deep cave movies didn't do well and I think from looking at the trailer this movie might continue the trend. I'm sorry but if a hole wide enough for you to base jump into, and deep as all hell can be filled up in a rainstorm why isn't this a "lake" movie.
Oh I know what the narrator said "blase' blah cave the last unexplored place on earth, blah blah, wonder beauty, blah blah, if you don't make it out no one will know your story" now yes this is a James Cameron movie and with "Avatar" James has earned himself a leap of faith movie. I just watched "skyline" which was an apocalyptic movie so I'm not saying a human peril movie won't work. I'm just saying I the guys who is all for hollywood bringing back the magic is saying he might have added a little too much elfin magic on this one. We'll see, as I see more about it maybe I'll become more interested.
Okay those were my 4 trailers and my initial thoughts of them feel free to agree, disagree or offer your own viewpoints if you think I have been unduly harsh. Everybody doesn't like the same movie, and everyone doesn't always catch the "fever" opening week but if a movie catches on or a new trailers piques interest, word of mouth, whatever I'm sure hollywood will take it.
Aiight bedding this one til I hit the house

The plan for the evening
After another brisk walk, I think I knocked it down to 30 minutes this time , I'm at the movies again. This time the flick du juor is "Skyline" the flick that looks alot like "Independance Day".
I love me some black women a sister just walked in with her 3 kids and a nice round behind. Pretty face too, but I digress.
Same as last time I will do the trailers, what I think about them and sometime tomorrow afternoon or monday afternoon I will do the review. I've seem some pretty good sci fi flicks this year so I have high hopes. It looks like movies are going into the home stretch for the end of the year, me likey.
It seems I've talked myself to another low battery which is fine as I won't be talking or texting for the next two hours I should have PLENTY of juice for what I'm trying to do. I mean its at 2 bars and trust me two bars can go quick(for me 2 bars can go quick I mash buttons just that much) it was a long day, hopefully I'm about to see a good movie, and when I get home it will be conjure and black ops time.
I hope all reading are having a great weekend and if not, I hope tomorrow turns it around. Aiight time to bed this one I think its about 9:40 now so I can buy my ticket and drink

The trailers
Okay on my movie the trailers I remembered were gullivers travels , Rango, Yogi Bear, Kung Fu panda 2 and I remember something else starting on December 17 but that's tron day so it ain happening.
Damn premature sendage now I'll have to save one and delete the other(did make for a nice aside though).
And updated true to current life Gulliver MIGHT work it has some grade a talent in it actors I like so I might be remotely interested, but no promises.
Basic premis: Gulliver appears to be a freelance writer who goes off to chase a story. Gulliver piloting his boat to the island where said story exists gets caught up in a storm(yeah yeah insert cliche here), sucked into a vortex and appears on the isle of the lilliputians. Now from what I remember from the book gulliver was a little less goofy and more well rounded than the character jack black is playing. But like a few other old classics a little over the top comedy may be just what it needs.
Rango meh don't know enough about the character just looks like an animated wild west tale same trailer I've seen for like the last 8 months now. Lizard in a hawaiin shirt having wild west antics.
Kung fu panda 2. Jack black is back, didn't really show much in the trailer just black returnin as Poe being silly. If the whole original cast is back it should work. Its hard to lose with kung fu action, especially well animated kung fu action.
Yogi Bear. Yogi and Boo Boo are cgi everybody else is live action. Its Yogi Bear if you don't know what to expect kill yaself. Yes there may be some convuluted love interest for Ranger Smith but this is really about the hijinx of Yogster and Boo. It looks like it might be fun, CGI and live action together is like passe' in hollywood now so it won't be the special effects that sink this movie. If anything it will be waiting til Yogi hasn't had a show on the air in YEARS. Scooby doo in some shape form or fashion is always on the air Live actionish(scoob is always animated in), cartoon, cartoon as kids, live action as teens. But past a few cameos with other Hanna Barbera (thought I forgot how to spell it didn't you ha! ye of little faith) on shows like Harvey Birdman attorney at law, and Robot Chicken(on cartoon work) I haven't seen Yogi, Boo boo or Cindy on the air. He's got the hat, the tie, and the ingenuity but will he have the audience.
I think there was one more opening like I said on Tron day but I'm not sure. The movie review will come from the desktop after I finish the other one and add in all the required linkage. Here's hoping no one locked the door on me the house is in sight.

a nice 40 minute stroll
I'll change the name later on after I see how long this walk takes me. I was gonna go watch RED, but its too far away for me to walk to which is cool. So I'm going to go see Megamind starring the voices of Will Ferrel and Brad Pitt. I started walking at 8:27 for a 9:25 movie. No I don't live 20 plus minutes away by car but why drag my feet(expletive almost slipped out. See how bad an influence multiply is on me) I get this walk in, get some nice cardio(no music this time as I of course am typing up this blog) I need the cardio because I haven't be working out like I was before so every little bit helps.
Now being that I never completed out the other Megamind blog they may post out of order. Which is cool I'll fix the dates and everything later. Can I tell you my fingers are cold as hell. I think I'm making decent time and distance(damn almost banged my balls on the cable stump in this persons yard. You know that little weird 2 1/2 foot rectangular thingy)welp somebody is getting a blue light special(pulled over by a cop) both folks appear to be in the car so it may just be a driving award.
If your driving by and see a bouncing timbo hoody that's me (*wave* but why are you reading this while driving, hell why are you in my head get out) I spoke on twitter about whippin the Chevy traverse around it was nice. SiriusXM stay makin me feel brilliant for taking that chance content, variety and easy to use.
Its 8:42 and I'm at the hill 15 minutes not bad, means I'll have plenty of time to find a seat and get refreshments(because I doubt it will take 30 to check the bank and cross the street, I say another 20 minutes tops til the theater door is in sight). Hell I should have taken this half a third of a hike to see RED when it came out but hey now I know (and knowing is half the battle GI Joe, if that's copyrighted my bad). I'm gonna spend december with my wife I hope we get to do the movies a few times. Gotta go rescue my leather coat too, one hill down and already most of the way up the other and its only 8:48 damn I'm good.
I think I need to hit the dentist too when I hit the "A" two of my back teeth are barkin at me. Its becoming slightly annoying that cherry coke felt like it tried to kill me last night, man was that painful. But I deserved it drinkin too many acidic drinks and not brushing right afterwards. I'm human and a big kid at heart so sometimes sweets and fizzy drinks call my name.
Ok this dude is being a douche, get ya money ya card and get ta steppin its an ATM not your financial adviser. Make it quick and let's roll. 8:58 balance is checked more than enough to take in this movie solo, and what is this I see but the theater door, what I say I got this right, damn right.
Ticket purchased, hot dog, and blue and red(*cough* green, red was drippy grrr) by my side, sitting here watching the previews. Little bright though somebody lost something so they got the lights on (aaaaaargh bright light, bright light). Theater dude is quizzing me like I don't know what I'm here for "pimpin I got this" I may have wanted to watch RED but megamind is a decent second option. I'll do the review later, possibly on my phone walking back but probably on the pc when I hit the crib.
Tron:legacy trailer was tiiiiight, I'll rate the movie for you its rated AWESOME. (Okay big goofy kid at heart). Its almost magic time so I'll be putting this bad boy to bed and sitting back to enjoy the movie. I see everybody is on the tron legacy coat tails coke had a nice tron based commercial. Aiight bed time for this one see ya on the other side
