CELLULOID BURNING

The latest teaser trailer for the upcoming Donnie Yen ass kicking vehicle, Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen is making it’s rounds about the nets. check it out

Michael Cera is the “It” geek actor out there with a long and varied resume filled with odd-ball outsiders. He is kind of the John Cusack of our generation. His latest movie Scott Pilgrim vs The World both fits in nicely and stands out at the same time. The film is directed by Edgar Wright and looks really interesting. Cera is in love with with a girl with 7 ex-boyfriends who all happen to have super powers. Cera must defeat all of them to win the girl. Sounds like pure awesomeness.

Rolling Thunder (1977) is The Limey (1999) by way of The Deer Hunter (1978), but with a hook for a hand.

I’ll fess up and admit it.

What originally drew me to Rolling Thunder was the fact that Quentin Tarantino named his production company after it. In my estimation, Rolling Thunder just had to be some sort of crazy gonzo pic full of tits and explosions or possibly exploding tits. I came to the film bracing myself for a cinematic hell on earth in an easily digestible, cheapo grindhouse form. I never expected hell on earth to get kicked off with a cheesy John Denver-ish song, but this is the way the world ends in Rolling Thunder.

The big news of the release date for the next Batman movie may have hogged all the glory away from the latest trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Inception. I have to admit that I was only mildly curious when I saw previous trailers for Inception. They all looked interesting but without any hint of what the story was about. This current trailer erases any confusion and Inception is now my most anticipated movie of the summer… ok second most to Donnie Yen’s Ip Man 2!

Words cannot describe how awesome…and how timely this new Machete Trailer is.

…War Horse! As reported by the always insightful Deadline Hollywood, that Steven Spielberg’s next feature will be based on the novel War Horse. Below is the trailer for the London stage production.

From what I can gather from the trailer is that this feels a lot like E.T…..ya know if he was from earth and shaped more like a horse.

Ok we are all assaulted by movie trailers on a near daily basis… very rarely have I seen a trailer this ballzy and encompassing it’s central premise than this teaser trailer. I don’t know who stars in the movie, when it’s coming out or ultimately if it will be any good… but for right now it does have my interest.

Michelle Yeoh starts in this John Woo co-directed martial arts film… which happens to carry heavy whiffs of Crouch Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The other half of the directing (and writing) is done by Su Chao-Pin. It’s difficult to know where Woo ends and Su begins but the trailer below is intriguing. The film looks a lot less homoerotic than Woo’s usual body of work which leads one to believe that Woo has inserting himself as co-director in name alone to give the film the best chance of success.

A newer Ong Bak 3 trailer has been released into the wild, this time highlighting more of the story (if there really is one). From what I have gleamed on other sites, in this installment Tony Jaa’s character has been captured and tortured. Every single bone in his body has been broken and he is some how healed and made into an even better figher (I think they filled him with adamantium or some shit like that).

Take a look

Gaiking was a Japanese Super robot cartoon series back in the 70’s.

Now some folks are making a live action adaption of it. As a mecha/giant robot fan, this has me stoked. It has a giant robot with a goddamn skull on its chest. I’ll be there on opening night.
