And your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to hang on for the ride. Gadgets, explosions, and Tom Cruise hanging from some new climbing contraction, whats not to like?

Abduction

Mysterious characters are searching for Nate some want to see him kept safe, others seem to want something that he has in his possession, all Nathan knows is that he wants a piece of whoever is killing his loved ones and acquaintances.

The trailers for X-men:First class

I caught the 10:10 Showing of X-me:First Class last night, theater was packed even for that late showing, granted I was at the Paradiso it tends to get a lot of traffic anyway. So here's what popped up when the lights went down

Spy Kids All the time in the World

Jessica Alba as a retired spy who is trying to live her new life as the worlds best Step mom, until an old villain from her past pops up after a gift that she gives to her young daughter. Lost of over the top hijinks and stunts as well as a talking cybernetic pooch what more could you want in a kids movie.

The trailers for The Hangover 2

The Debt

What really happened when 3 celebrated Mossad Agents tracked down Vogel waaay back in 1966, this suspense filled espionage thriller takes place between two time periods 1966 and present day. Lots of sneaking around, some fast car chases, the prerequisite man tied to a chair and either being question or tortured, and some tense moments with drawn guns. The 3 Mossad agents are played by Helen Mirren, Tom Wilkinsonand Ciaran Hinds in the present, and Jessica Chastain, Marton Csokas, and Sam Worthington in 1966. Looks like its a good spy flick if your looking for one

The Change-up

Dave is your average guy, he's married, with kids and goes to work every day to provide for his family. Dave is settle in his routine and while he wants a little bit of excitement is happy with his life, Mitch is Dave's friend and he has a way with the ladies. Mitch is living the dream life Dave is missing now that he has the alternating early morning diaper and feeding shifts. Hot babes, casual sex, yes Mitch is living the life except sometimes Mitch wouldn't mind having a little more to his life than just random hot babes. One night while out drinking Mitch and Dave approach a public fountain, and like all SANE people do decide to pee in this fountain and they both say aloud "I wish I had your life", lightning flashes, the statue has an ominous look(by the way it's a statue of a female goddess looking type, so I don't know if it was pity on them not seeing how great they had it or vengeance for despoiling her waters) and Dave wakes up in Mitch's apartment, in Mitch's Body after staring in the mirror for a few seconds he answers the door to find Mitch behind it in his body. So now the buddies get to walk a mile in each others shoes, Dave takes a shot dating a coworker who he always wondered "What if" and Mitch gets to have the family.

This looks like the classic buddy movie with a Freaky Friday twist, and since it's staring Ryan Reynolds quip machine it should be funny as hell.

The Trailers for Kung Fu Panda 2

As this is Memorial Day weekend and the movie industry is trying to get more bang for it's buck there are two releases this weekend, this is my first movie of the weekend(and since Lank has a habit of flaking I will probably do the review for KFP2 tonight and walk to The Hangover 2 tomorrow) I missed most of the first trailer but meh, it wasn't really a movie I want to see anyway. Looks like because this was an animated movie they decided to do all the "kiddie/family" trailers on it oh well, you go see an animated movie you take that risk, well away we go to the trailers from Kung Fu Panda 2:the search for more Kung Fu AWESOMENESS

Judy Moody and the not Bummer Summer

A movie along the lines of Superfudge(and something else that slips my eclectic memory, I swear when this wave crescendos in I'm gonna be pissed) young precocious kid, annoying sibling, wacky hijinx either during the school year or during the summer. It seems Judy's parents are going on some trip out of town and Judy has this "summer of thrills" things planned with the other girls in her school. Problem is she's been stuck with Stink(her little brother, I don't know what it is with giving younger siblings messed up nick names, stops talking before I incriminate myself) and has very few "Thrill coins" stocked up so she is waaay behind. Enter Aunt Opal, untamed curls, somewhat distant ding batty look to her eyes and the fun begins. Yes when I was younger movies like this would have appealed to me my sense of wanting to escape from the apartment and go out and explore the world, but now I'm good this is too kiddie even for a walk down memory lane.

The trailers for Pirates of the Caribbean:On Stranger Tides

As the world DID NOT END, I am here after my 7 pm movies to give you the trailers included along with Pirates of the Caribbean:on Stranger tides. These were MOSTLY some new ones(Real Steel I have done before but this was a new trailer for real steal, showing more of the NON just rock 'em sock 'em robot action) and as usual if you got something different please let me know 

The Muppets from Disney

Needless to say Kermit, Ms. Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzy and who knows who else are back in an adventure under the Disney logo I kind of walked in halfway through this trailed was walking up to my seat as it was playing behind my head but Yes there are muppets in this movie, yes it looked crazy, and yes it was a little bit of my childhood returned. A muppet movie, since it's from Disney it probably won't suck I mean, how hard is it to make a kids movie if your name is Disney, yeah yeah adults might also wanna tune in but it's SUPPOSED to be for kids why else would it be full of puppets?

The Trailers for "Priest"

I was slightly gipped AGAIN by the Malco at Raleigh springs mall I only got 3 trailers for my movie this time. Priest had a few people in it, nothing like my 7 ish viewing of "Fast Five" which was packed for my dieing local theater but this one kinda looked like dandelions on the lawn people here and there. Amazingly I actually got my hot dog and a Blue and Red everything was actually ready this time, it's been so rare lately that I don't have to substitute green for one of my preferred slushie flavors.  Okay enough dallying here are the 3 trailers I saw prior to my viewing of Priest

The Trailers for THOR

X-men First Class

The characters I know from their powers DEFINITIVELY

Charles Xavier-Professor X. The worlds greatest TELEPATH(I'm capping and bolding that because somebody else may be stronger all around but this is Charles claim to fame), the man who runs the school, the man who began the X-men.

Erik Magnus Lehnsherr-Magneto. The master of magnetism while he and Charles are great friends he sees the only path to the safe future for mutants coming from a different path.

Henry "Hank" Mccoy-Beast. Agility of an acrobat though surpising due to his huge size(though he seems a little smaller in this movie) Hank is one of the most intelligent men on the planet, especially in the realms of biology, physics and literature. Hank speaks many languages, is known to quote great authors at the drop of a hat and is a fierce fighter alongside his comrades

Emma Frost-The White Witch. While not shown YET in the trailer(nor in X-men origins-Wolverine) Emma is also a pretty good telepath in her own right. But for now we see her SECONDARY mutation the ability to become living diamond.

Sean Cassidy-Banshee. Banshee releases a sonic scream that can stun, incapacitate or physically harm his opponent. He can also use his ability to emit said scream to fly up to the speed of sound. He was an on again off again X-man and should be recognizable to most X-fans

Raven Darkholme-Mystique. The mutant shapeshifter mother of Kurt Wagner, "foster" mother of Rogue Mystique is known for espionage and deception. She is often seen as a companion of Magneto and normally in the X-world if somebody isn't acting how you expect expect her blue hide to shift in sooner or later.

The Trailers for Fast Five

You will have to forgive me it seems as of late the weather here in the mid south has been wreaking havoc in our lives, that havoc includes gipping me out of all but the newer Cowboys and Aliens preview on the movie Fast Five THOUGH, the projectionist did tell me X-men was supposedly also included.

Cowboys & Aliens

While I only saw the back half of the theatrical trailer this one seems to get more in depth into who everybody BESIDES Daniel Craigs character is and why they are fighting so hard against the alien menace. Now IF when I check this trailer on the site I see old strong Jawed indy taking and throwing punches I'm gonna be PO'ed at the credit card machines delaying my entry into the theater. It's cowboys, it's aliens, it's Harrison Ford in a freakin Fedora what more do you need?

X-men first class

I will not link this one because it's word of mouth not official.

Basically this trailer blog is gonna be a little skimpy because well I didn't see the trailers, but I did go to the movies and I can at least confirm 1 trailer for my fellow movie goers.

Next week summer movie season starts in full, lets hope it takes our breath away.

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.

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 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.

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.

X-men:First Class

Saturday, December 18, 2010

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

The trailers Chronicles of Narnia

Thor
Marvel is putting out its second big Avengers character's movies Thor, or The Mighty Thor if I want to tie it in to the comic. Now I can't give the trailer full props NOR can I ridicule it because THE THEATER had issues playing it. The basic Synopsis I get from the trailer:

Thor Norse God of Thunder the Odinson in his arrogance has peeved off his dad. In punishment for his transgression Odin takes his mighty hammer(Mjolnir), his Godly Mantle and sends him to Midgard(earth he said earth when someone talked to him so this may be Norse mythology lite). On earth the god of thunder tries to make his way while some major catastrophe is afoot caused by whatever mistake Thor made.
The shield agent from Iron Man is here so it seems to tie in to the finding of the Hammer after the credits in Iron Man 2. As far as "storyline" is concerned it seems to be meshing Ultimate and Regular. In Ultimate Thor is Thor has his powers some weird hyper scientific looking armor and a slightly futuristic looking hammer, Normal Marvel U he's got his enchanted stone looking hammer odd looking armor and a strange way of speaking.

They also seem to be using the


Whosoever holds this hammer,if he be worthy, shall possess the power of.....THOR
Mythos. Because in one trailer I saw the recently disgraced Odinson finds his mighty hammer and is unable to lift it. Yeah not anybody can lift Mjolnir pretty much gotta be of stout character and noble heart. I'll do a blog about Thor later though.

Gulliver's Travels

Jack black as gulliver a mail boy who wants to be a journalist is giving a story, lost in a storm, and washes up in the land of the lilliputians. An update of the story as there are hydraulic creatures use, jack black has a cellphone(droid or iphone for those who wana know). Gulliver is a rather short guy who tells tall tales to the lilliputians about his great life back home, promises to be their protector, is exposed as a braggart and then has to not only prove to himself the kind of man he can be but also redeem himself in the eyes of his minature hosts.

Looks like it could be a funny romp, but we shall see.

Rio

Another animated cartoon story about repopulating a species. Similar to Alpha and Omega. This time it is a story about two Macau, the last of their breed. The male is from america the female is in Rio. The female appears to either be wild or else in a preserve. The male is domesticated, living the good life.

Looks like there is a lot of high profile comedy voice talent. Thing is though, meh its kinda becoming rote here. The best of the breed and you know the mid to bottom of the barrel have to save the species. I mean a bird who can't fly isn't that like stretching it too damn far?

Oh well kids movie, not going to see it I'll wait til it hits cable. Plenty of funny actors but nah not feelin it.

Okay ready to bed this one, I'll add in the links and post it in a little while

By the way for those who noticed, no I did not link to gullivers travels simply because I've seen that trailer like 7 times now I'm tired of linking to that site hit one of my other trailer blogs, it's IN THERE, trust me

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

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.

What is it? 

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?

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.

Okay

Girl check

Basket check

Forest check. 

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?

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

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.
