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 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?
