Movie Trailer Monday!

Another awesome movie trailer...

Tucker vs. Dale vs. Evil (I don't even know if that's the correct movie title)

This movie is a complete misunderstanding of hilarity with no huge actors and just generally funny scenes. Hopefully this is as good as it looks and this movie becomes as popular as it should.

Enjoy a laugh.

Robin Hood Update

I remember when I first read that Christian Bale was going to play Robin Hood and Russell Crowe was going to be The Sheriff of Nottingham in Ridley Scott's new "Robin Hood" movie...

That got thrown out the window and I thought I read that Crowe was going to play BOTH characters...

That got thrown out too (because THAT would have been retarded) and instead we are at Russell Crowe playing Robin Hood just like sweet ass Kevin Costner.

This looks a bit like Gladiator in terms of the intensity, cinematography, and overall awesomeness and that's a good thing. Ridley Scott knows how to direct epics and Russell Crowe has the intensity to make it look whoop ass.

Check out the other new international trailer from First Showing here.

Brooklyn's Finest

Movie Trailer for a movie starring...Richard Gere, Ethan Hawke, Don Cheadle, and......WESLEY SNIPES!!

Can't figure this one out. Looks like "Training Day 2", hell, Ethan Hawke is IN IT! Three good actors, a decently well-known director, and Wesley Snipes!! If you believe Eddie Murphy, Wesley Snipes is even a great actor. Still, can't figure out whether I want to see it or not.

Monday Dump...

I don't know what frickin rock I've been living under...I just found out LeBron James is planning on changing his number out of respect for Michael Jordan. I remember James urging all players in the league to not wear the number and for the league to retire it but apparently he made the decision almost two weeks ago to get rid of 23 and begin wearing number 6.

Good move by LBJ. I like wear this kid's head is at. Too bad for him it's in Cleveland.

*Also, I just remembered what rock I was living under. It's the large rock I forced upon my body to keep all the Twilight bullshit away from me. It's the rock I tried to crush myself with so I wouldn't have to hear about a bunch of small girls reliving their Harry Potter obsession, this time now that they are horny and like vampires. Unfortunately, I'm still here and unfortunately Wesley Snipes hasn't killed anyone from Twilight yet.

*Once I removed that rock from my sternum, I found this exciting video of the player I can't figure out whether I like or hate. It's a ridiculous shot and one Phil Jackson probably would have punched him in the nuts for if Phil actually were still alive. Regardless, Kobe Bryant is a very good basketball player.

*Floyd Mayweather's people are meeting with Manny Pacquiao's people today to begin discussing a 2010 mega-bout between the two. Please God, I will never ask for you to kill Jay Cutler again if you make this fight happen. It could be boxing's highest grossing, most publicized fight of all-time. And hopefully Mayweather's face will get knocked off.

*Movie Trailers are always an awesome experience (unless they are for New Moon) and here are a few goodies that are getting out there for the upcoming year:

"The Lovely Bones" - Can't remember if I posted this before, but even if I did, seeing how much weight Peter Jackson has lost is absolutely worth it. He looks RIDICULOUSLY skinny and actually normal. And his vision for this movie is quite incredible.

"Nine" - No f'ing clue what this is about or if I'd ever see it. But Daniel-Day Lewis, Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Kate Hudson in a movie trailer needs to be seen.

"Crazy Heart" - Jeff Bridges will win an Oscar. For this or for the Coen Brothers remake of "True Grit". Bridges is a phenomenal actor and he makes this 'Crazy Heart' flick worth checking out. It's like 'The Wrestler' meets 'Talladega Nights' meets 'Walk The Line' meets I have no f'ing clue.

"Season of the Witch" - Dumb name. And it stars Nicolas Cage. But also Ron Perlman. And Ron Perlman stars in one of the best shows on television, "Sons of Anarchy". So sure, why the hell not put it here?

Movie Trailer Monday!

Lots of em. Good ones. Bad ones. Unfortunately there isn't a trailer yet for my new documentary where I videotape myself shooting Falcon Henne in his legs and then burn down his family's house while the whole world watches. That'll be a sweet episode for their 'reality show'.

No reason to waste time...

"The Missing Person" starring Michael Shannon (weird KKK guy from BAD BOYS 2!!)

"Dear John" starring Channing Tatum (dudes, mark your calendar, author Nicholas Sparks and Channing Tatum? Date night for you and your lady)

"Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans" starring Nicolas Cage (Werner Herzog is absolutely crazy and talented. Nicolas Cage seems to be actually acting well for the first time in years and NOLA is cool.)

"The Spy Next Door" starring Jackie Chan...(Haha. Jackie Chan.)

"The Edge of Darkness" starring Mel Gibson (and Ray Winstone and Danny Huston who are awesome.)

Special Thursday Link Dump...

It's been a little while since I did anything and for that I apologize. Life has been busy recently but that's not an excuse...There's been a lot of awesome stuff going on and I've had some grand plans, just unfortunately, not fulfilled. If you live anywhere other than a Taliban cave, you've probably seen most of the goodies somewhere by now. I missed my Monday Mark Morrison dump so here's some special goodies you may have missed.

- Boston sucks. I am a Yankees fan so I hate Boston. I'm glad Curt Schilling retired, because I hate his bloody socks. That said, this was something cool that happened in Boston. This goalie got pissed, swung his stick really hard, almost fell, then chucked what I believe was a milk crate onto the ice. The other excellent question is why the F there was a milk crate anywhere near the ice in the first place?


- Jordin Tootoo is a f*cking prick. He's been one of the NHL's biggest douchebags since the day he started playing. He picks fights, checks people randomly and runs away, and cheated on Kellie Pickler. He also sucker-punched Brad Staubitz of the San Jose Sharks a few months back. Staubitz remembered that and beat the living shit out of Tootoo's face a few nights ago. It was awesome.

- A woman thought that her boyfriend/ex-boyfriend was looking at child porn. So, while she was slightly intoxicated, she went to the police and turned in her laptop that she suspected her man had used to look up child porn. The cops took a gander around her computer and found some videos of some nasty stuff. It was the woman, spreading condiments on her crotch, letting her dog lick them off. The woman videotaped the acts when she was drunk, forgot to delete delete them and essentially turned herself in. Check out the story here and look at the police report. I love the fact that the filing officer had to write out the report and use all kinds of funny words that he invariably felt weird writing. And, no surprise, the lady was from Indiana.

- Spike Jonze is awesome. He is incredibly talented and never fails to come up with the coolest shit. He recently made music videos fun and pertinent again and is coming out with a movie soon. Here's the trailer for "Where The Wild Things Are" ...where the wild things are (Film Drunk)

- I put the "Crank 2/High Voltage" trailer up a while back and it was insane. Generally it's just as f'ing nuts as the first movie but it looks even more over the top. Now, you can watch the trailer at break.com and have your entire desktop begin to get destroyed. That's how intense the new flick is. It's a sweet trailer that makes you want to jump off a 46-story building and run people over with your car, but it's distracting because bullet holes and shockwaves on your desktop distract the shit out of you. Enjoy, again.

- NCAA Sweet Sixteen Basketball today:

Pittsburgh v. Xavier (Pitt over XU)
Duke v. Villanova (Nova over Duke in my bracket that matters)
UConn v. Purdue (UConn over Purdue even though UConn is distracted)
Mizzou v. Memphis (Mizzou over Memphis)

- Lastly, no more South Side Irish Parade in Chicago. People got too drunk, assaulted too many officers, and had way too much fun. I could care less because I never went. That just wasn't my thing. Plus I would have probably wanted to punch people's faces like Jordin Tootoo. And for the people that are "upset" about it, get over it. You can get drunk numerous other ways on St. Patrick's Day. You pricks.

Have a grand Thursday.

Movie Trailer Monday!

“Terminator: Salvation” trailer. Updated Trailer. It really looks epic. Its understandable Christian Bale exploded on the set because this movie is beyond intense. We also get a glimpse of the specific Terminator (Sam Worthington pictured above).

“The Edge of Love” trailer. Keira Knightley. Sienna Miller. In a bathtub together naked. Enough said.

“Surveillance” trailer. David Lynch is the executive producer of this flick. He makes awesome movies and this one has Bill Pullman in it. It also looks psychotic and ridiculously disturbing so there’s lots of potential here.

'Public Enemies' Trailer

The 'Public Enemies' trailer starring Johnny Depp & Christian Bale is finally online.

There are 2 highlights that stick out to me:

1) A quick flash of Lincoln Avenue in Chicago and the Biograph Theatre that was recreated this past Summer for filming.

2) The infamous photo of Dillinger in a Dayton, Ohio jail holding a placard before he was released from jail and immediately robbed a bank upon that release.

Dayton, Ohio, being my location of collegiate excellence, is an exciting thing to see on the big screen. Other than Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and the University of Dayton, Dayton leaves a lot to be desired. If you take nearby Lima, Ohio and it's most famous resident, former WWE star Al Snow, out of the occasion, Ohio basically has nothing.

I used to liken Dayton to Gotham City. There's the actual city of Dayton, the downtown area, where after 2pm, if you wander onto the wrong street, you'll get shot and stabbed 46 times. Then there's Oakwood, the lovely city just south of Dayton, where you can wander down the street and find gold bullions lying on the sidewalk.

Right smack dab in the middle is the University of Dayton (the Harvard of the Midwest). UD is basically the filter that keeps full-scale civil war from breaking out. You remove UD, and a nuclear riot is on your hands. It's the equivalent of taking Batman out of Gotham City. Bedlam.

That's bound to turn around though when you throw Johnny Depp and his mug shot on the big screen. It's breakout time for Dayton, Ohio, I'm tellin ya.

One other thing of note in the trailer, is the trademark style that makes it a Michael Mann movie. The shots are glorious and crisp and if you listen closely, you can feel a little 'Miami Vice' like vibe as the trailer really picks up.

Yes, it's that sweet.

Transformers 2 Trailer

The Transformers 2 teaser trailer came out a few days ago and it looks pretty good. The only visible plot line is revenge (thus the name of the movie) and there are only a few shots of Megan Fox, but otherwise it's coming along.

You're introduced to a whole host of new machines including one that looks like an armadillo.

As long as Megan Fox is in it, I'm totally cool with the movie. The fact that this looks even more intense than the first one is a good sign. Check it out here (watch it in HD!).

Taking of Pelham 123

I pass slow minutes of a day with movie trailers. As everybody waits in anticipation to see what kind of crazy, dumb stuff is done at tonight's NBA Slam Dunk Competition, I bring you the new trailer for "The Taking of Pelham 123". It's a remake of the 1974 film starring Walter Matthau. 

It stars John Travolta, in his first film since his son's tragic death, and Denzel Washington. I tend to be biased to anything Washington does since the awesome "Man On Fire". Here he again teams with Tony Scott in a film that sort of looks like Money Train crossed with Inside Man. And John Travolta has a neck tattoo and awesome handlebar mustache. That's enough for me. 

See what you think. 

Movie Trailer Monday!

I don't recognize anyone in this movie trailer except Hugh Hefner & Craig Robinson. Robinson was recently doing media interviews to promote his new movie and this is obviously it.

The two guys in it, Trevor Moore and Zach Cregger, are from the comedy troupe "The Whitest Kids U Know". You might remember Trevor from the "Slow-Jerk" Video.

"Push" Movie Trailer

Djimon Hinsou is a badass. He's cool in "Blood Diamond", awesome in "The Island", and a good friend while burying figurines in "Gladiator". The trailer for his new movie "Push" looks pretty dumb, but I still think he's a cool dude. There's something about his eyes turning all black that make this trailer cooler than the movie possibly can be.

Check it out here.
