‘Kick-Ass 2’ Red Band Trailer

What’s better than the new “Kick-Ass 2” Official Trailer?  The new “Kick-Ass 2” Red Band Trailer.  Usually, what separates a ‘Red Band’ trailer from the run of the mill variety is that they tend to show more–more blood, gore, sex, whatever the movie happens to be selling. It this case it happens to be violence […]

Dave Bautista Is Drax The Destroyer

Collider has reported that Dave Bautista has been chosen to be Drax The Destroyer in Marvel Studios’ upcoming space saga, “Guardians Of The Galaxy.”  That being said, I should admit that while I haven’t seen too many films with Bautista in them, I have seen virtually every episode of “Stargate: Atlantis” with Jason Momoa, as […]

‘The Host 2’ Special Effects Trailer

Bong Joon-ho’s 2006 cautionary monster tale, “The Host” is one of the best giant monster films to unspool in years.  It’s similar thematically to the original “Godzilla,” with a major difference: the monster isn’t a lizard, doesn’t breathe fire, and looks like a huge tadpole with legs.  And teeth.  Huge teeth. It would be worth […]

‘Savages (Unrated)’ Review

“He was always trying to f*&k the way out of himself.  I have orgasms, he has wargasms.” –O What an awesomely cheesy line.  Reminds me of “Do you know what happens to a toad that’s struck by lightning?  The same thing that happens to everything else.” from the first “X-Men” film. Despite how technically proficient […]

Nicolas Cage Exorcises The Ghost Rider

It appears that Nicholas Cage has finally come to his senses, and is putting the Ghost Rider behind him.  2007’s original, directed by Mark Steven Johnson, wasn’t terrible, but it made a sophomore mistake, namely that it was pretty tame for a movie about a character that’s possessed by a demon. The original film should […]

‘StarCraft II: Vengeance Of The Swarm’ Trailer

I am not a huge video game player, though I always seems to make my way back to a ‘StarCraft’ game.  The story lines are engaging, and they’re less about how many things that you kill (though killing does come into play, it’s by no means random) than how you manage your resources, which will […]

‘Universal Soldier: Day Of Reckoning’ Review

I recently read a review, that claimed that John Hyams’ “Universal Soldier: Day Of Reckoning” was better than most of the ‘Universal Soldier’ films that were released theatrically (‘Day of Reckoning’ was direct to video). I am not sure if that’s the case, though it is more violent.  And by ‘violent’ I mean lots of […]

NPR: The Austin 100 At SXSW

I am a huge music fan, though I have noticed that I tend to get somewhat set in my ways, which makes it hard for me to discover new music.  That’s why I am thankful for NPR offering the opportunity to download–FREE–100 mp3’s from artists that are headlining at this year’s SXSW Music Festival in […]
