Machete Trailer

I have to say, I enjoyed the 5 de Mayo version of this movie's trailer better than this mainstream one, but that's not to say that the trailer doesn't make the movie look like a couple of hours worth of kick-ass. Not to mention a terrific ensemble cast that's lead by the criminally marginally used Danny Trejo. Finally, a starring role for the man that used to wash my father-in-law's laundry in the pen (true story). Check out the video and make an appointment to cut into "Machete" when it hits theaters later this year.

Let Me In Trailer

"Let Me In" is the American remake of the superb Swedish vampire movie "Let the Right One In", which in itself was adapted from a novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist (you should take a few days to check that out as well). Now that you know all of that, let's just say that it looks pretty true to the original, but in ways, different than the original. Mostly due to the casting and a spoiler I won't reveal from the original. But the casting will have a huge impact on that, so until I get to see the movie, I'll keep it pretty hush hush. Unless you've seen the original yourself, you'll know what I'm talking about. Check out the trailer. The movie is directed by the guy that brought us "Cloverfield" and stars the Hit-Girl from "Kick-Ass".

Predators International Trailer

"Predators" should be stalking your local cineplex pretty soon. I've seen a couple of trailers for it, but this international one is by far the best one of the bunch. I'm really liking the cast, even Adrian Brody looks tough as nails in this, specially when they drop him from low orbit straight into the jungle. That's some effective visuals right there. Let's hope Robert Rodriguez knocks this one out of the park and it doesn't end up looking like one of his "Spy Kids" movies.

Oh, and Danny Trejo is in this one, so that automatically guarantees our ticket purchases. That is one bad ass mutha . . .

International Scott Pilgrim Vs The World Trailer

I'm pretty excited about Edgar Wright's new movie coming out, "Scott Pilgrim Vs The World". If you've seen any of Wright's previous work as a director, you should know why. "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz" are some of the funniest movies ever committed to film. So, this one should be a riot as well. From the looks of the trailer, it packs not only the funny, but a ton of cartoony action as well, which suits it well because it's true to the comic book source material.

We still have to wait a little under 2 months to see this movie. It comes out August 13th (my wife's birthday, great present Edgar!) and you can bet that we're gonna be there when it opens. Check out the trailer and get excited.

The Last Airbender Super Bowl Ad

"The Last Airbender" is coming out this year, courtesy of M. Night Shyamalan. He wrote, directed and produced this (and I'm sure he'll find a way to cast himself in a small role in it as well, that's just how he rolls. Kinda like here @ BAFW, where our parenthesized comments always run too long). It's an adaptation of a cartoon I've never seen or paid much attention to, but it can't be any worse than his last filmed offering: "The Happening". While I haven't seen that movie, I never hear anything good from anyone that has.

This ad will air during the next Super Bowl, which, I think is happening this weekend? I don't know. I don't follow the foosball. I might record the game and just watch the commercials, but it's doubtful.

The Losers Have Winning Trailer

"The Losers" is a DC/Vertigo comic book property that just got itself a Hollywood adaptation. The good news is, Hollywood picked a winner when it settled on "The Losers". The story is solid if I remember the comic book (of which I've only read a couple of the trade paperbacks) and from the looks of the trailer, that has translated well into the silver screen.

Quite the cast as well in this one. Zoe Saldana, just off "Star Trek" and voicing the "hot" Na'vi in James Cameron's "Avatar" is in this one. So is Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who from the trailer, might have finally found a filmed project he doesn't bite the bullet in. Or maybe not. He does spend quality time in a coffin in this movie. And, the always entertaining Chris Evans is in this.

All in all, a pretty solid trailer for a pretty solid movie I'm definitely looking out for.

Tekken Trailer

This is the first I've heard of a movie adaptation of the popular videogame franchise "Tekken". But, here it is, apparently for the most part ready for release as indicated by the trailer above. Will it be good? Who knows. Most videogame movies are stinkers that should never have been produced. But, the fight scenes seem solid in this one, albeit happening in a rather repetitive locale. I don't hold high hopes for this, but it might be a solid rental in the near future. Fuck, it can't be any worse than the Jean-Claude Van Damme starring "Street Fighter" movie from the 90's. Check out the trailer and decide for yourselves.

Iron Man 2 Trailer

Ummm . . . Holy shit. Can it be possible to make a better "Iron Man" movie? From the looks of the trailer above it's looking like a damn good possibility. Looks like everyone is back for some more iron-clad goodness (except for the guy replaced by Don Cheadle) and the new villian, Whiplash, played by Mickey Rourke comes off appropriately menacing and badass. Lots of cool moments in this trailer. Can't wait for 2010.

Edit: Oh, and I totally forgot to mention the jaw-dropping "War Machine" sequence in this trailer and the slight glimpse at Scarlett Johansson dressed up as Russian covert operative and S.H.I.E.L.D. agent "Black Widow". How could I forget.

Robin Hood Trailer

I've seen many a Robin Hood movie. Now, I guess I have to see another one. Ridley Scott directs this one and Russell Crowe has been cast as the anti-hero in question. It's a little reminiscent of their previous period piece collaboration, "Gladiator". Is that a bad thing? Not to me. I loved that movie. Here's hoping that "Robin Hood" comes out truly badass and hits its target in 2010. Look out for this movie. In the meantime, check out the trailer.

Daybreakers Trailer

The Spierig Brothers, directors of the rather fun but ultimately uneven Australian zombie flick "Undead", are back, this time taking on vampires in their latest film titled "Daybreakers". From the looks of this trailer, it would appear that they got some quality actors this time around for their futuristic look at a world overrun by bloodsuckers. Check out the trailer. The movie should be coming out soon. Not exactly sure when it comes out. I've been out of the loop lately when it comes to movie premier dates. But, I'm sure you can do a Google search or something. Sheesh, do I have to do everything for you?

Blur Trailer

I enjoy a good racing game here and there. Whether it's a simulation style racer like "Forza", or an arcade battle racing game like the one above, "Blur" seems like tons of fun. Not only that, but they got 50 real world licensed cars that you can damage to your heart's content. Check out the trailer. "Blur" should be hitting the streets in 2010. Look for it. 'Til then, I'll be playing "Burnout: Paradise".

Date Night Trailer

I had no idea that this movie was coming out until today. Good thing that it's not released until next April. "Date Night" stars Steve Carrell and Tina Fey as a married couple that wants to spice up their marriage by pretending to be someone else to take their dinner reservation . . . with dire, but at the same time, hilarious circumstances. Lots of cameos in this one as well. I spotted Common, Mark Wahlberg, James Franco and Mila Kunis. This movie looks like something my wife would totally be into, and that's good for me, because now I don't have to convince her to go see this. Check out the trailer. It's funny.

The Road Trailer #2

"The Road" looks like the bleak and grimy holiday fare I need to cut the saccharine sweetness that Hollywood tends to pump out towards the end of the year. Based on the even bleaker novel written by Cormac McCarthy (author of "No Country for Old Men"), "The Road" tells the story of a man and his son trying to stay alive after a global apocalypse wipes out most of humanity leaving not much more than a wasteland behind. Sounds like my cup of tea.

It also helps that this movie has a pretty impressive cast including Viggo Mortensen, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce and Robert Duvall. This movie is directed by John Hillcoat, the guy that directed Guy Pearce in the Australian western "The Proposition", which was also bleak and grimy. I'm starting to see a pattern here. In any case, this should be good. Make sure to check out the trailer and make a date to balance out the holiday cheer with some post-apocalyptic somberness.

Trailer Time - Black Devil Doll

"Black Devil Doll" is a movie that had escaped my knowledge up until now. Looks like it came out in 2008 and is currently out on DVD. So, if anyone out there was thinking of getting me a kick-ass Christmas present, this would be it. I mean, I wouldn't turn down a Lamborghini, but I'm sure I wouldn't enjoy it as much as this movie. Check out the extremely NSFW trailer, preferably from the comfort of your own home or unsupervised computer terminal. The disclaimer/warning at the end is just hilarious. This thoroughly offensive movie looks like something I would love to watch. Let me know if anyone has seen this and if it's worth it. Just drop your comments in the . . . hmm . . . "comments" section?

Paranormal Activity Trailer

This little indie movie, "Paranormal Activity", is due to come out next week in selected cities. This trailer effectively uses audience reactions to sell the movie, which I now want to watch. Check this trailer out and hope that your city is on the list (at the end of the trailer), but it if isn't, there might be a way to get it to your neck of the woods. But you have to see the trailer to find out how. Enjoy.

We Are ODST Trailer

The new "Halo 3" campaign is due to come out September 22nd. Titled "Halo 3:ODST", it puts you in the boots of an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper rather than a genetically enhanced Spartan super-soldier. But, from the looks of this live action trailer, that doesn't make it any less exciting and action-filled. Did I mention the video is also gorgeous to just look at. It also looks a lot like "District 9". Not sure if Neill Blomkamp directed this or not, but he had directed a few shorts in 2007 for the "Halo 3" release.

This video is also making me yearn for a live action "Halo" movie. It can be done. Just check out the trailer and get ready for a pretty badass experience when it comes out. A movie might just be a pipe dream, but we still get to play the game.

Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day Trailer

"Boondock Saints" was a pretty good movie. Not a movie that I thought would get a sequel ten years later, but hey, here is the trailer for the follow up: "Boondock Saints II: All Saint's Day". Seems like both the cast and the writer/director are back for another violent romp. That's what was fun about the first movie. Hope this one doesn't disappoint. Someone does have high hopes for this due to the fact that it's not going straight to DVD, but rather getting a theatrical release. I guess we'll have to wait and see if this sequel can do the original any justice when it comes out later this year. The trailer is helping though. I kind of like. Check it out.

Venture Bros Season 4 Trailer

I saw this over at Analog Medium and I just had to re-post it here. Fans of the "Venture Bros" show on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim rejoice . . . the new season is upon us, and if you watch this trailer, you won't help but get excited. Looks like a terrific season. If you've never seen the show, or even worse, heard of it, you've got some catching up to do. Check out their page on Adult Swim and get yourself acquainted with one of the best animated comedy series ever.

The Wolfman Trailer

"The Wolfman" trailer just hit Yahoo!, and after viewing it, I'm kind of glad someone's not making another vampire or zombie flick right now. There seems to be an over-saturation of that going on. And, the werewolf in this movie doesn't look like a cuddly puppy like the ones featured in the fantastically pussyfied "Twilight" books/movies. This movie will be coming out next February. It stars some pretty solid actors: Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Hugo Weaving and Emily Blunt. Should be a pretty good movie. I like that it's a period piece. Check out the trailer for yourself.

The Fourth Kind Trailer

I have always been interested in alien abduction movies and stories. This newest one, titled "The Fourth Kind", seems to be pretty cool, boasting a "based on real events" feel that looks like it weaves in archival footage into the story rather effectively. This is something I wouldn't mind watching when it hits theaters. And, at least this time, Milla Jovovich isn't fighting zombies . . . but she still might flash her miniscule rack. She seems to do that in every movie she's in. Check out the trailer, and get ready for an encounter of "The Fourth Kind".
