We Fun Atlanta Movie Trailer

We Fun Atlanta Movie Trailer By Hunter Stephenson/Aug. 11, 2009 3:14 pm EST Note: This trailer contains use of profanity. The home of [adult swim], lots of rappers, and /Film’s Russ Fischer, Atlanta is also the beloved homebase for many a young and crazy rock band. In recent years, hard-living and hard-playing acts like The Black Lips, Deerhunter, The Coathangers, and Mastodon have arrived in pop-culture as uncompromising torchbearers for Atlanta’s music scene....

Avatar Sets New Apple Trailer Record Toys And Video Game Trailer Revealed

Avatar Sets New Apple Trailer Record, Toys And Video Game Trailer Revealed By Peter Sciretta/Aug. 24, 2009 2:00 am EST But is it enough? How many people attended the Avatar Day screenings? 100,000? 200,000? And it seems logical to me that anyone who would make the trip to their nearest IMAX theatre to see 15 minutes of footage, were already going to buy tickets already. Will the positive word of mouth pay off?...

David A Goodman Scripting Hong Kong Phooey Live Action Film And A Remake Of Who Is Killing The Great Chefs Of Europe

David A. Goodman Scripting Hong Kong Phooey Live-Action Film And A Remake Of Who Is Killing The Great Chefs Of Europe By Brendon Connelly/July 12, 2009 5:30 pm EST The most comforting element of Goodman’s CV is that he has written for Futurama but, sadly, the rest of his rap sheet actually seems quite disconcerting to me, from The Golden Girls to Team Knight Rider. Even if Futurama proves he does have it in him, penning a Hong Kong Phooey movie for producer Brett Ratner will probably be enough to seal his fate in the eyes of many....

First Look Fast And Furious

First Look: Fast And Furious By Peter Sciretta/June 24, 2008 1:51 am EST USA Today has a first look at Fast and Furious, the fourth film in The Fast and the Furious series. The new film brings back the three leads of the first film: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and Michelle Rodriguez. And for some reason that fact excites me, just a little. The series gets a lot of flack, as well it should, but I’ve always enjoyed the first film on a purely popcorn level....

Now Twitch presents a pair of stills from the film showing a bit of what we can expect to see when Reynolds wakes up buried alive in a shallow grave in Iraq. Buried is an adventurous project based on a script by Chris Sparling, directed by Rodrigo Cortes....

Inglourious Basterds Movie Review Ambitious Exciting Awkward And Soulful

Inglourious Basterds Movie Review: Ambitious, Exciting, Awkward and…Soulful? By Russ Fischer/Aug. 21, 2009 1:00 pm EST The climax of Inglourious Basterds has the most terrifying image ever to appear in a Quentin Tarantino film. It is a movie vision of hell and an inversion of Holocaust ovens, flames consuming the wicked as a laughing ghostly beauty swirls in smoke. Though some of Basterds feels rushed and slightly below Tarantino’s ‘matter of fact’ visual standards — Kill Bill aside, his films aren’t known for visual splendor — that one vision is almost justification enough for the entire film....

Nanotechnology Five Reasons Why G I Joe Could Actually Be Cool

Nanotechnology: Five Reasons Why G.I. Joe Could Actually Be Cool By Peter Sciretta/April 22, 2008 6:52 pm EST Lately, there has been a lot of hate directed towards Paramount’s live-action GI Joe film. As you probably know, a huge batch of unfinished unpolished character photos leaked onto the web last week which were deemed disappointing, especially after the official photo releases of Scarlet and Snake Eyes. So I thought I’d take a look at five cool nanotechnology elements we hear might be in the upcoming movie which are sure to get you a little excited....

The new movie from Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor – the madmen that brought us Crank takes us to the sci-fi future world where prisoners do battle in a real life video game. The trailer looks pretty insane, gritty action mixed with sci-fi futuristic tech overlays. And the sci-fi concept is the kind of impossible crazy that could lend it self to a kick ass action flick....
