Whiteout Trailer

"Whiteout" is, sadly, not a movie about my favorite brand of corrective fluid. Rather, it's a comic book movie adaptation which puts Kate Beckinsale in a murder type mystery in the icy Antarctic. I've never actually read the source material, so if I go watch this movie, I go in with no expectations. The trailer looks OK so far, but if anyone's actually read the comic, please let me know if it's doing it any justice. And if I should get the actual comic book as well. I need some good reading material. Thanks to IGN for hosting the video, and making embedding so easy.

Thirst'y for a Red Band Trailer

"Thirst" is the latest from Park Chan-Wook, director of "Oldboy", and it looks pretty fucking amazing. This, along with "Let the Right One In" are doing much more for the vampire horror sub-genre than any "Twilight" movie is. In fact, I think the "Twilight" phenomenon is diluting what a vampire movie should be all about. Check out the trailer, courtesy of IGN, and get ready for this movie, which is coming out at the end of July.

Crank 2: High Voltage Trailer

I absolutely loved the first "Crank" movie. There was no thinking required. It was all action and I had a blast watching it. I thought a sequel was unlikely, being that it looked like Jason Statham's character, "Chev Chelios", died. But, the first few seconds of this trailer for "Crank 2: High Voltage" clears that up for you rather simply and then launches you into another electrically fueled violent romp through the streets of Los Angeles. I don't think I have to tell you that I'm looking forward to this movie coming out. Check out the trailer, courtesy of IGN.com.

Punisher: War Zone Trailer

It looks like the Punisher is back this year, and it's not Thomas Jane or Dolph Lundgren. I know I've seen the new Punisher somewhere, possibly sporting a British accent, but I can't remember where or when I've seen this new guy. But regardless, other than the shit music they chose for this trailer, it's looking pretty badass. A Punisher movie should feature heaping doses of ultra-violence, and this trailer shows us that in spades. I lost count of just how many heads were either shot off, or punched through, or in a rather inventive case, chaired through. Thanks to IGN for securing this trailer from the San Diego Comic Con . . . I so totally wanted to go, but work always gets in the way.
