I had been planning to watch Centurion and write a review but Alex beat me to it and wrote one. After watching the movie, however, I am still compelled to write my own quasi review. Let me start off by saying that although the movie took place in Britain in A.D. 117 it might as well have taken place A.D. 2010 South America. Read more »
Have things been stale at the box office for you this summer? Do you want to see something unique and different? Well look no further, because Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is the action comedy that can breathe life back into your stale movie world. Not having ever read the comics, this movie was still a bundle of joy wrapped up in the best 114 minutes of this summer’s movie time. For those that still remain skeptical let me share this with you, the film is directed by Edgar Wright, the same guy that brought us Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead. So if you want a good time check out Scott Pilgrim and the rest of this review after the jump. Read more »
What do you get when Thai boxing meets the Samurai style? One bad ass mother ‘effin movie! Check out the trailer to this bare-knuckle blood fest of a film entitled YAMADA: THE SAMURAI OF AYOTHAYA.
When you break it down this Thai action epic is essentially The Last Samurai meets Ong Bak 2…sort of. Either way it involves a young samurai who gets injured in Thailand, is healed by a tribe of Thai Warriors and then learns their ways in order to exact revenge on his betrayers and to help protect the Thai people he has come to love. In the process he learns the art of close combat Thai boxing but the aggressive tribal warrior style (cue bad ass grin). You can find the synopsis and really cool trailer after the jump. Read more »
Check out the all new Donnie Yen Historical epic, The Lost Bladesman, has just wrapped up production and two photos have surfaced giving us our first glimpse of the film. Although Donnie is not in either of the images I am still impressed by the photos due to the coloring. Most Chinese epics are either very plain or extremely colorful whereas these images are very strictly white, I can’t tell if the pictures are supposed to be during winter or in the desert but either way they look great and set an interesting tone for the film. These images aren’t brand new and happened to slip under my radar so if you have seen them already, don’t get your panties in a bundle. anyway, check them out after the jump. Read more »
The new poster for the upcoming sci-fi invasion film, SKYLINE, has just been released and it pretty much states that this alien invasion isn’t going to end well for L.A.
The poster is actually pretty cool and gives us a good idea as to what the alien ships are going to look like. It also shows that L.A. will be covered in a dark blue light for a majority of the film. Anyway check out the poster and synopsis after the jump. Read more »
Every once in a while movie studios have some brilliant breakthroughs when it comes to marketing a film. Well, today my jaw dropped as a result of a marketing stunt that I never in a million years would have thought of. All I can say is that ChatRoulette, the site where many of you kill time when your drunk and are looking for some easy T & A, can lead to some very funny and surprising videos. Check out this promotional bit for The Last Exorcism after the jump. Read more »
I had been looking forward to seeing Centurion for quite some time now. The poster (featured after the jump), which isgritty, full of classical bloody vengeance and has a great tage line, was enough for me to determine what kind of film I was going to be watching. Once I saw the trailer I knew this was going to be a must see film for this summer, and sure enough I got exactly what I asked wanted; An interesting Roman tale full of suspense, bloody kills, and excellent cinematography.

I never thought I would find myself so intrigued by a movie about the ballet. The trailer for director Darren Aronofsky’s (The Wrestler, Requiem for a Dream) new film, Black Swan, is surprisingly eerie and progresses in a very suspenseful way becoming an exciting thriller as the seconds go by. The opening is very foreboding while the rest of the trailer shows us a bit of violence, seduction, lesbianism, and some instances of panic. Find out more and check out the trailer after the jump.
