Alright so it's been way too long since the last post and I've just finally discovered the perfect news to forward on to my 5 followers.
MACHETE bitch!
The latest trailer for the full length adaptation to Robert Rodriguez's 'Machete' 'Grindhouse' trailer has been released.
Personally speaking I thought all the faux trailers were entertaining but for one reason or another 'Machete' really stood out above the rest. And now judging by this new trailer we are so very close to the release of the full length motion picture.
The casting is as eclectic as one would expect from a Rodriguez flick and the imagery comes off as sheer brilliance.
Watch and enjoy...

A Stab in the dark leads to a Scream in the light
Okay when I first heard about this project last year a lot of nostalgia hit me. Wes Craven has finally officially announced 'Scream 4.' With it comes all the original surviving characters.
My one hope is that Craven is able to bring the franchise out of its comedic direction. There was something so sinister about the first movie that was lacking in the two follow-ups. By the time of it's release (April 15, 2011) it will be 15 years since Scream and 11 years since Scream 3. This is a huge amount of time to pass between sequels but at least to me a fortunate time frame that the franchise should hopefully benefit from.
Writer of the first two Kevin Williamson is back behind the scriptwriting, which is either a curse or a blessing, but I guess since it is his baby it seems only right for him to continue what he started.
But the biggest question still remains.... Will Deputy 'Dewey' Riley still have a limp?
For your consideration... SCREAM 4.

Too soon, or not soon enough?
Rodriquez answers the call (though I really wish he would stop these side projects and make Sin City 2).
The official 'Predators' trailer has been released, and what we get is an eclectic group of varying actors thrown into the jungle landscape of the Predator home world.
The first thing I thought when originally coming across the production of this film is the title immediately reminded me of 'Aliens.' I know this is said to be a 'reboot' but I feel from everything I've seen and read (including this trailer) that it serves better as a sequel. So right off the bat it has at least to me a James Cameron homage.
Secondly I've always been a fan of Robert Rodriguez ever since his collaboration with Tarantino on 'From Dusk Till Dawn.' Originally he was meant to direct, but I think we still have a good chance of success due in part for the use of his original screenplay (even if it has been modified) and his watchful eye with him serving as executive producer.
The only thing I'm disappointed about is the jungle landscape. Don't get me wrong it looks cool and all and defiantly worked in the first film, albeit on Earth. What I mean is that as awful as Aliens vs. Predators was (and boy was it shit) they briefly showed an interesting look at a civilized city; a concrete jungle that I can only hope they will include in this feature film (though I doubt).
Have a look below.

WTF?
Okay, so I'm not entirely sure what to say about this post.
Lady Gaga's video clip for 'Telephone' is so strange and yet refreshing at the same time. I'm not sure if its the Tarantino-esque nature including the resurfaced cameo of the 'Pussy Wagon' (after Kill Bill and it's reincarnation in Death Proof), the inside jokes or, the blink-and-you'll-miss-it Michael Jackson homage but this 9 minute epic comes together so well.
Be warned though, it seems they had a casting call for the ugliest people in North America, and the unfortunate appearance of dancing 'tree trunks.' But hey! That's why it's called art. LOL.

Bit O' Fun
You know I was just discussing this very scene last night and now I've randomly come across it which is odd, but I feel the urge to post it.
All you pencil pushers enjoy.
EDIT: Well no longer can we all enjoy this (what must have been all of say 8 sec clip) 20th Century Fox has claimed copyright to its usage. No, really!
EDIT II: I have come across another "extended" version of the clip. So enjoy before its gone (again)!

THE MAN OF IRON part deux
Okay so the second Iron Man 2 trailer came out a couple of days ago, but I just now got around to looking it up. And boy does it look amazing.
Whiplash, Black Widow, War Machine are all present and oh of course the man who is contractually obliged to appear in everything Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury (who had been previously shown speaking with Tony Stark after the end credits of 'Iron Man').
Anyway check it out below if you haven't already and enjoy...

The Prince of Creed
The second 'Prince Of Persia' trailer is out.
Based on the video game franchise of the same name what we get is what looks to me as a giant cut scene from Assassins Creed. The shot of him as a young child made me cringe and think of that awful flashback storyline in 'G.I. Joe.'
Although we all know how trailers can be misleading and I still hold out for some hope with the noticeable positive of the two lead actors, Jake Gyllenhaal and Gemma Arterton.
