Trailer day continues with the first one from the upcoming Die Hard sequel, currently entitled A Good Day to Die Hard. In this one Bruce Willis’ John McClaine and his son John Jr. travel to Russia to battle the bad guys.
Have to say it, this one looks pretty fun. Check out the trailer after the break and let us know what you think.
Look for A Good Day to Die Hard in theaters on February 14, 2013.
A new trailer for the movie Parker with Jason Statham and Jennifer Lopez has dropped. We, of course, have it for you. But first, here’s some scoop on the movie itself:
Parker (Jason Statham) is a professional thief who lives by a personal code of ethics: Don’t steal from people who can’t afford it and don’t hurt people who don’t deserve it. But on his latest heist, his crew double crosses him, steals his stash, and leaves him for dead.
Determined to make sure they regret it, Parker tracks them to Palm Beach, playground of the rich and famous, where the crew is planning their biggest heist ever. Donning the disguise of a rich Texan, Parker takes on an unlikely partner, Leslie (Jennifer Lopez), a savvy insider, who’s short on cash, but big on looks, smarts and ambition. Together, they devise a plan to hijack the score, take everyone down and get away clean.
Look for Parker in theaters on January 25, 2013. Check out the trailer after the break.
During last night’s Presidential debate (you watched it, right?) they included a special look at Steven Spielberg’s upcoming film Lincoln. Fortunately, if you missed it, through the magic of the Internets we can bring it to you right here. Enjoy.
As big budget movies go, Disney’s The Lone Ranger starring Armie Hammer and Johnny Depp is, surprisingly, one of the biggest. Budgeted at upwards of $215 Million, it ranks as one of the most expensive movies ever made.
And now, we can see where at least some of that money went as the first trailer for the movie has been released. Check it out below and let us know what you think.
Look for The Lone Ranger in theaters next July.
In celebration of October and all things associated with Halloween, horror, and the macabre, this week’s pick is the John Landis comedy/horror classic An American Werewolf in London (1981). The film stars David Naughton, Griffin Dunne, and Jenny Agutter.
After making a name for himself in Hollywood with such comedy classics as The Kentucky Fried Movie (1977), Animal House (1978), and The Blues Brothers (1980), director John Landis’ next project would further solidify him as one of Hollywood’s newest breed of film makers. An American Werewolf in London is a tongue-in-cheek film that has always been considered a comedy, but Landis says that it’s a horror film with comedic elements.
Landis had come up with the concept of the film while he was a production assistant in Yugoslavia working on the classic war film Kelly’s Heroes in 1970. While driving through the Yugoslavian countryside, Landis and his driver/interpreter came to a crossroad where they witnessed a gypsy funeral. Landis and his driver watched as these gypsies performed rituals over the dead man’s corpse in an attempt to make sure that he didn’t come back to life and caused mischief.
We’ve all seen it. We have all even been fooled into getting excited for it. We see the name of something we love being tied to a new game. Whether it is a game from the past being brought back or some franchise outside of gaming being given its first digital life, we are pumped to see what this game has to offer. And then it comes out… and it sucks.
Most recently, I went through this with Fire Pro Wrestling coming to XBLA. Being a longtime fan of pro wrestling and having two of my favorite games ever being wrestling games (WCW Revenge and WrestleMania 2000, both from THQ and the AKI engine) I try to keep up with wrestling games whenever I get the chance.
Right now, options are pretty limited with WWE being the only game in town after Midway’s TNA game was a flop. But there was a bright shimmer of hope when I logged onto XBox Live the other day and saw that Fire Pro Wrestling was up for download on XBLA. I didn’t even read the description. I just clicked right on “Download Trial” without taking a breath.
2011 smashed one long-held cinematic rule, that on almost every occasion prequels suck. There were two very high-profile, very low expectation prequels that summer, and both ended up being franchise salvaging hits.
Sequels to those prequels have already been green lit and given release dates by Fox. The creative team behind X-Men: First Class were able to jump right into pre-production with almost all of the behind the scenes crew intact. The ride has been a little more bumpy for the next Apes film, with Rise director Rupert Wyatt jumping ship.
The rumors have been circulating for a while that Wyatt was on the way out, but it was only very recently made official. However, according to deadline, just as quickly as one director leaves another jumps in his place. That director happens to be Cloverfield helmer, Matt Reeves.
Reeves is a fine choice to step into the Apes universe, as he is one of the few directors who has shown an ability to make a story his own while maintaining the previously established story. If Reeves manages to tap into the tone of Rise of the Planet of the Apes while bringing something new to the table we stand a great chance at getting another great flick.
Hello friends. In order to serve you better, we are currently in the midst of migrating our network of sites to new, improved servers. While we do that you probably won’t see anything new here.
Once the migration is done, we’ll be back to our regular schedule of posts, articles, reviews and more. We appreciate your patience during this time of transition and we hope to see you back here real soon.
Until then, here’s some pics of girls dressed in Star Wars stuff. Pandering? Us? No way.
