"Super" Trailer

Here is the latest "Super" trailer. I really enjoyed Kick-ass and this seems like the hipster, indie, laid back version. Rainn Wilson and attractive little pixie Ellen Page star along with Liv Tyler. Kevin Bacon also stars to add another movie to help you play 6 degrees with Kevin Bacon.



Ellen Page, hot or not? Gay or straight? So many questions, no answers.

Judge after the video below.

Is Judd Apatow Even Trying Anymore?

It's like the unfunny female hangover. I like Kristen Wiig but this trailer, this cast? Gahhhh.




Funniest comment I saw describing this:

Studio pitch

Apatow: You see, it’s like The Hangover, but it smells like tuna…

Studio Exec: I love it. Where do I sign?

The Fighter Comes Out on Friday

Marky Mark's biopic about boxer Irish Mickey Ward comes out on Friday and so far the reviews are good. Christian Bale is a favorite for Best Supporting Actor but who cares about him if he's not Batman. Back to Mark Wahlberg, I stumbled on part of the movie today, and lets just say, no wonder why this movie is highly anticipated.

New Machete Trailer Looks Awesome!!!!!!

So with Comic Con last weekend comes all these new trailers to new shows and movies. IGN released a Red-band trailer (NSFW) of Machete and it looks awesome. Hurry up and get here fall, I'm tired of shitty TV, pre-season football and temperature over 100 degrees.

Operation: Endgame Trailer

Operation: Endgame, a direct to DVD action-comedy. Here's the trailer. It's not bad, but I'm more impressed with the cast. Rob Corddery, Zack Gilifianakis, Ellen Barkin, Maggie Q, Adam Scott, Claire from Lost and Marcellus Wallace. Not bad for a straight to DVD flick.



Could be worse...Like the Happening.

Movie Review for Kick-Ass




I finally saw Kick-Ass on Sunday and I was thoroughly entertained. From beginning to end, it was not like your typical Super Hero movie. More Profane. More Entertaining. More Violent. Slo-Mo action scenes. Comic Relief. Attractive female girlfriend. Kick-Ass was original, well rounded and I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I guess there's something badass about watching some 11 year old girl going on a Kill Bill-esque killing spree. Every time they zoomed into her little beadie eyes, I was expecting to hear those Kill Bill sirens to start blaring.

A quick synopsis of Kick-Ass is about this dorky comic book nerd wants to become a super hero (named Kick-Ass), but he well, sucks and gets his ass kicked a lot. As the movie goes on, he gets saved from yet another beatdown by Hit Girl and Big Daddy (Nick Cage!). Hit Girl and Big Daddy both have secret vendettas against a crime kingpen that become more apparent as the movie goes on.

Kick-Ass was a little Taratino-esque, but I should of known I would enjoy this movie becasue it was directed by Matthew Vaughn. Vaughn directed Layer Cake, one of my personal favorites and also produced Snatch and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

I would definitely recommend seeing this movie. Just a fun movie all around, especially for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Movie Review of the Human Centipede



Well, I don't know where to start. Web and I went to the midnight show on Friday since we didn't feel like having a hangover or spending a bunch on an unnecessary bar tab. We got there around 11:30 and there was already a huge line to get into the theater. There were lots of weirdos and deranged people in DC someone said. I'd have to agree. (I give out plot here, if you really care, you shouldn't, but if you really do, SPOILER ALERT)

The movie is cheesy, poorly written and has bad acting. A quick synopsis. Deranged German doctor. American Female Tourist's car breaks down in random German woods becasue they get lost. They find German's house. Doctor drugs them. Doctor sews them, mouth to anus, with a another random Japanese guy. Doctor tortures them. Police find out. Everyone dies.

The two American girl actresses, I'm guessing, are just trying to break into Hollywood. I don't know why else they would take this role. There's not many lines for them because they are really just moaning and yelling and crying.

In my opinion, this was one of the most absurd movies I've ever seen. I was laughing at the absurdity and unintentional comedy, grossed out by the shock value and pretty much speechless at the end. I can't recommend to go see it but I can. Like I said, I don't know what to think. I don't know, if you're bored, sure why not. Throughout the movie, there was clapping, yelling, and singing from the audience. I have also seen reviews where some people were throwing up in the theater. When I left the movie at the end, I noticed there were one or two girls already outside, and it looked like they have been there for a while because they were leaning against the wall, disgusted, waiting for their friends. There was random talk from audience members about how someone came up with this idea and who the hell would green light it. Well apparently it has to be the IFC, who also has green lighted the sequal. Oh those crazy Germans. Here's the trailer again.




UPDATE: DCist with a blog review and interview of people that went to the same midnight show.

A Special Cinco de Mayo Message...to Arizona

Yes yes, today is Cinco de Mayo. Have yourself a few cervezas won't you. With Los Suns playing tonight, that dumb Arizona law getting passed and today a Mexican holiday, why don't you celebrate by checking out the trailer to Machete.

Originally a fake trailer for Grindhouse, Robert Rodriguez gave this movie some wheels. Check out the cast. Danny Trejo (badass), Bobby DeNiro (really?), Michelle Rodriguez (overrated, loves to booze, meh), Jessica Alba (nice), 80's has beens Don Johnson and Cheech Marin, Jeff Fahey (Lapidus!), Stephen Segal (a father favorite) and Lindsay Lohan! (who said her career is dead).



Uh oh Arizona, "you just fucked with the wrong Mexican."

UPDATE: Cinco de Mayo, more like Cinco deNiro!

The Room

Last Saturday, I went with a bunch of friends to E St Cinema to go see "The Room". It's a movie so bad that it has now developed a huge cult following like the Rocky Horror Picture Show but way worse. I remember reading about it in this EW article a while back and a few friends had recommend checking it out at E Street Cinema. They described it as a scene, unlike any movie you've been to. They were right. Described as the "Citizen Kane of bad movies" it is so awesomely bad, it's a must see. The lead is also shockingly the producer and director of this cinema bomb masterpiece. The female lead is supposedly a new actress trying to make it into showbiz (oops).

Here are some highlights in bullet form:

  • Yelling "Spoooooooon!!!!!" and throwing dozens and dozens of plastic spoons every time the random picture framed spoon picture was shown.
  • Chanting "Go, go, go, go, etc" when they pan across the Golden Gate Bridge
  • The random (mostly) witty comments from the peanut gallery throughout the movie
  • The horrifically terrible love scenes
  • The heavy accent of the lead (and director)
  • The cheesy lines, out of focus picture and random who the f are you characters
  • Denny the creepy kid and his football
  • Drinking booze
There are plenty of other things that you need to go check out on your own. They have midnight showings across the US every once in a while. In DC, they have it at E Street once a month and definitely worth it. This morning I have re-watched the trailer and youtube clips of the Room and have had a shit eating grin my office all day. Definitely go see it.

Here's the official trailer of "The Room"

Denzel's Movie Roles

You ever feel like Denzel gets typecasted a lot into the same role. Yeah, figured you did. Maybe this Denzel Washington Venn Diagram will explain everything.
