Countdown To LOST: First Four Minutes Of Season Six

Posted on February 1, 2010

Is there anyone more excited for the beginning of the final season of LOST than me? Probably, but not by many. Now you can see the first four minutes of the upcoming premiere of Season Six, thanks to our friends at Coming Soon. This time we begin as most seasons do: with Jack waking up and being confused as to where he is or what’s happening.

We also see Juliet banging on the bomb until it blows. We then cut back to….wait a minute, is that Season One?! Only, well, you’ll see in the clip. Here’s hoping that the new season delivers, answers a lot of the questions we’ve all had (like “What does Dharma Initiative Ranch Dressing taste like?”), and hopefully leaves us asking new questions that will make us miss the show when it ends this year, without feeling ripped off.

Check out the rest of the clip after the jump. (Spoilers for the end of Season Five, in case you are the one person not caught up yet.) and be sure to catch the rest of the premiere on ABC, Tuesday February 2nd, at 8PM.

Brand New ‘Blur’ Under the Hood Trailer

Posted on January 29, 2010

blur-racing-4It may not be as obvious as our love for movies, TV or comics, but we do love video games around here as well. One of the companies we frequently seems to purchase games from is Activision. Their titles, including the Call of Duty and Guitar Hero franchises, are among the most fun and most successful out there. Another one of their games that looks to be pretty great as wels is the upcoming Blur racing game.

We’ve had trailers and screenshots from the game previously and now we’ve got another trailer for the game to share with you today. In this one, Activision takes you under the hood and features the Bizarre Creations development team, who created the game for publisher Activision, discussing Blur’s storyline, unique driving styles, impressive stunts and more.

In case you haven’t been following our coverage of the game before, Blur is, according to Activision: “the ultimate powered-up racing experience, dropping players into heart-pumping, electrified action with multiple cars trading paint as they charge towards the finish line.” Does that sound like fun, or what?

Blur will be available this spring for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. Until then, check out this latest trailer after, you guessed it, the jump.

John Travolta Kicks Windows, Uses Puns In New ‘From Paris With Love’ Clip

Posted on January 29, 2010

FromParisWithLove_1We’ve been known to give John Travolta a hard time around here, and we don’t mean to. The guy has got some serious acting chops, and he’s still getting work after all these years. Any actor/actress that has fa diverse set of ilms like like Broken Arrow, Pulp Fiction, Hairspray, and Look Who’s Talking on a resume deserves some credit, so we’ll give it to him.

His newest film, From Paris With Love, seems to throw Travolta into a role that was definitely meant for another actor, if not many. His image in this film is something we’ve never seen before (not counting Pelham) and it’s quite refreshing to see an actor reinvent himself over and over in a span of 40 years.

In a new clip from the Pierre Morel (Taken) film, Travolta, as special agent Charlie Wax, infiltrates an enemy hideout in an unconventional way. Check out the clip after the jump, and be sure to catch From Paris With Love in theaters on February 5th.

Review: ‘When In Rome’

Posted on January 29, 2010

Josh Duhamel and Kristen Bell in WHEN IN ROME_jpg

Just because I am a chick, it doesn’t mean I am a champion of the romantic comedy. It’s quite the opposite as you’d be hard pressed to find many I care to crow about. I prefer horror and gore to a rom-com romp. There is so much drivel that tries to pass itself off as entertainment (I’m looking at YOU, Leap Year, and YOU, The Proposal), but I found this movie to be a real breath of fresh air in a genre that has long since gone stagnant.

Kristen Bell plays Beth, an art curator, who is in the middle of planning a large benefit gala. After she experiences a humiliating evening at the hands of her ex, Beth’s little sister shows up, squealing that she is engaged to be married to a man from Italy whom she has only known for two weeks. They are getting married immediately, and Beth must fly to Italy to be the maid of honor. She manages to clear a few days to attend, no thanks to her over-bearing boss played by Anjelica Huston.

During the dress rehearsal, a dashing groomsman (Nick, played by Josh Duhamel) catches her eye. The two flirt the night away, and Beth is obviously being swept off her feet. However, a misunderstanding about another woman derails her magical night, and she ends up having an impromptu pity party in a fountain with a bottle of champagne. Before she leaves, she snags a few coins from the “fountain of love,” just for spite.

Countdown To LOST: Oceanic Flight 815’s Crash In Real Time

Posted on January 29, 2010

Picture 1We’re all pretty excited around The Flickcast offices for February. Not just because it means warmer weather for those of us on the East Coast, but mostly because that means LOST is back on the air with its final season. We’ve been bringing you plenty of LOST tidbits from all over the web lately, and now it’s time for something even more fun.

We’ve gone into how quirky LOST fans can be before, and how much time and/or effort they put into their fanaticism (which we love, of course), but our collective hats are tipped for this little piece of fandom. This friendly YouTuber put together all of the clips from the show leading up to the crash of Oceanic Flight 815, and threw it together chronologically, with a bit of 24 flavoring.

Many props go out to YouTube’s pyram1dhead for his work on this one. He had also done the same thing for when the survivors all met for the first time at the Sydney airport. Lots of time and effort go into things like these, and we are more than happy to share it with you.

Check out out after the jump, and be sure to keep it here as we count down to next week’s LOST premiere with plenty of quirky things to keep your mouth watering.

‘Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps’ Gets a Trailer

Posted on January 29, 2010

wallstreet2Things have been pretty quiet for the upcoming sequel to Wall Street since we caught a glimpse of some set photos with Shia LeBeouf and Frank Langella a few months ago. Since then, production has finished up and we finally have a trailer to enjoy.

The film follows almost real-time after the events of the original 1987 film. Gordon Gecko is getting out of prison, and wants back in the game, except everything is different now. Douglas joins in with newcomer LeBeouf, as well as some old friends including Charlie Sheen, Susan Sarandon, and Frank Langella.

Given where the economy and Wall Street is today, compared to 1987, you can expect this film to take an interesting turn and border on didactic. Oliver Stone is returning to helm the sequel, who’s best known for his topical films such as World Trade Center and  W, so expect to see some potshots taken at the financial climate.

Check out the first new trailer after the jump, and catch Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps in theaters on April 23rd.

Review: ‘Edge Of Darkness’

Posted on January 29, 2010

Mel Gibson

Mel Gibson returns to the big screen after a personal and professional hiatus of over seven years. His last starring role was in 2002’s We Were Soldiers. Many are hailing Edge Of Darkness as Gibson’s “comeback.”  So is it?  Meh. He is fine as a grief stricken Boston Detective, but he won’t be winning an award any time soon. There are a dozen actors that could have navigated this role equally well. That’s not knocking Gibson, but it’s a pretty  generic role.

Edge of Darkness veers into spoiler territory early, and often, and I don’t like to spoil movies, so here is a spoiler-free synopsis. Gibson plays Craven,  a single dad who goes to pick up his grown daughter from the train station. It is obvious he loves her very much. She seems slightly distant. Sensing something is wrong, he implores her to tell him what it is.  Shortly after they get home, she becomes seriously ill. Craven takes her to the hospital, but as soon as they reach the front door, his daughter is violently gunned down in front of him.

The rest of the movie concerns Craven trying to uncover the mystery behind his daughter’s death. It involves government conspiracies, shady political types, evil corporations, and unconscionable greed. Because Craven has no family left, his vengeance is of the reckless variety, which too often translates into over the top.
