Marvel’s ‘Super Hero Squad’ Falcon Profile Video

marvel-sauper-hero-squad-falconOnce again, we’re back with another character profile from Marvel’s animated show for kids (and kids of all ages) Super Hero Squad. This time around, we’ve got a profile video of another character on the squad, the Falcon. Be sure to check out this new video after the jump.

And also, as we do, here’s the “official” word on this character directly from Marvel:

Falcon

Falcon flies with wings made of “hard light” (a solid type of hologram). He’s upgraded them with Stark-built “feathers” that shoot out as projectiles. Falcon communicates telepathically with birds, particularly his pet falcon REDWING. He can even “see” through their eyes, which comes in handy when the team needs recon. T

he original adrenaline junkie, Falcon loves anything that moves fast, flies high or causes severe motion sickness. Passionate and optimistic at 17, he’s a born hot-dogger who’s finally made it to the big leagues. Beneath his jokester persona, he’s got a lot to prove.

Falcon’s going to figure out, over time, that he’s as powerful a hero as any and it’s got nothing to do with how much he can bench-press (260, if you must know). The others are going to learn that his tactical judgement is approaching that of his mentor, Cap.

Trailer for ‘Universal Soldier: Regeneration’ Hits the Web

Universal-SoldierIn the milieu of “better-than-they-have-a-right-to-be” action movies, I need to add 1992’s Universal Soldier. From the team that later brought us Stargate and Independence Day, Universal Soldier starred Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolpf Lundgren back when those names actually meant something at the box office.

Still, even with a mediocre script and some stilted acting, the movie actually managed to be pretty good and even more importantly, fun. Now, many years later and after at least one sequel already down, the very forgettable Universal Soldier: The Return, we now are going to get a third installment of the franchise, cleverly entitled Universal Soldier: Regeneration. And yes, we’ve got a trailer for you, so don’t worry.

This one goes direct to video this time but does feature returning stars Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren. It also brings UFC heavyweight champion Andrei “The Pitbull” Arlovski into the mix, which could prove interesting. Or, maybe not. Either way, the movie hits Blu-ray and DVD on Feb. 2, 2010.

In the meantime, click through to check out the trailer and enjoy some Regeneration.

A ‘Heroes’ Thanksgiving

heroes-poster-1In honor of the fast approaching Thanksgiving holiday, our pals at NBC have sent us some clips from tonight’s episode of Heroes with a Thanksgiving theme to them. Sure, we know this seems like blatant promotion for a show that people are saying is dead, and, well, it is. Still, many of us here at The Flickcast continue to watch Heroes (Chris, I’m talking to you) so this post is for them.

In these new clips, we’re treated to scenes of domestic and family bliss that only happen on a show about people with super powers and the other people who want to kill them once in a great while. Actually, it usually happens around the holidays. Go figure. Anyway, in the first clip, we on the set and hear the cast give some insights into what you can expect on tonight’s episode. They also talk about their own personal Thanksgiving dinners.

There’s also two sneak peeks at the episode. One in which the Bennet family tries to reunite for a friendly dinner, but ends up in a tense encounter when Noah’s girlfriend appears. Awkward. In the other clip, Nathan and Peter struggle to get answers out of their mother to explain the disappearance of Nathan’s body. Good luck with that.

Check out all three clips after the jump. Heroes airs tonight at 8/7C on NBC.

Exclusive: Ryan Kelley Talks ‘Ben 10: Alien Swarm’

17777_1587.TIFThere seems to be a plethora of animated shows taking off these days, with Warner Bros., Cartoon Network, and Nickelodeon filling up just about every kid’s TiVo across the country. We are definitely not in an era of Saturday morning cartoons anymore, but a Monday-Friday one. With that comes some pretty great live action adaptations of animated properties as well.

One of the more popular franchises in this realm is the Ben 10 series. Starting in 2005, the franchise has spawned two separate animated spin-offs, and now two live-action TV films, with the second being Ben 10: Alien Swarm, set to air on Cartoon Network on November 25th.

We got a chance to speak with Ryan Kelley, who plays Ben, the title character in the movie. He gave us an inside peek at his character, as well as his work with Sigourney Weaver on the Emmy-Nominated TV film, Prayers for Bobby. Check out our exclusive chat with Ryan after the jump and be sure to check back here all week for more on Ben 10: Alien Swarm.

New Trailer With Nicolas Cage In ‘Season of the Witch’

season-of-the-witch+Nicolas+CageThough he’s coming off of the train wreck which was Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, Nicolas Cage still needs needs money, badly. That means that 2010 will probably become the “Year of Cage,” with at least 6 of his films getting theatrical release next year. One of those films is Season of the Witch, which already looks like a front runner for the 2010 Razzie Awards.

The film’s plot is pretty straightforward: Nicolas Cage is a knight who is set to transport an alleged witch to a monastery, where a monk declares her powers could be the source of the Black Plague. Basically replace Bruce Willis and Mos Def from 16 Blocks with Nicolas Cage, a witch, and black magic, all taking place in Medieval Times.

Check out the brand new trailer after the jump, which admittedly has some cool moments, even if the use of Nicolas Cage and a recycled plot may be present. The film, directed by Whiteout’s Domenick Sena, hits theaters nation-wide on March 19th, 2010.

Get A Peek At ‘Smallville’s’ Justice Society In A New Preview

Screen shot 2009-11-22 at 9.35.09 PMSmallville is a show that hasn’t really generated that much intense interest with with true fanboys in it’s 9 seasons, yet we are all pretty excited about the upcoming “Ultimate Justice” event, in which the Justice Society of America make an appearance on the show. We already got a brief look at Michael Shanks as Hawkman earlier last week, and now we get much more to salivate over.

The episode was originally called “Society,” but due to the magnitude of the story, has been stretched to a two-part event entitled “Ultimate Justice.” As well as Shanks, the rest of the guest cast is filled out by Brent Stait (Andromeda) as Kent Nelson/Doctor Fate, Britt Irvin (Courtney Whitmore/Stargirl), Phil Morris  as John Jones/Martian Manhunter, and Erica Carroll (Reunion) as Dr. Fate’s wife, Inza.

Check out the brand new preview clip of the episodes after the jump, in which we get a glimpse of the Green Lantern ring, the Sandman mask, Dr. Fate, and a really cool Justice Society “Last Supper” painting. The episode is set to air January 29th of 2010.
