‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Honest Trailer

‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Honest Trailer

Just in time for the home video release! The question has to be asked, “Are we really sure we don’t want to put a colon in there?” Personally I never had any problem with the colons and I’m sure that this title needs one. But other than that, I felt like this trailer was a wee bit harsh on what I consider to be one of the better Star Trek films. Even so, I really enjoy these things, and this was no exception.

Not to completely spoil this for you, but I will just say that my favorite line is, “The Enterprise survives more hits than it took in the entire original series…” Pretty much. Enjoy!

Longer Trailer for ‘The Counselor’

Longer Trailer for ‘The Counselor’

Sex, drugs and violence. There’s going to be lots and lots of violence in this film methinks. And they’re definitely putting a little sex in this trailer, though if my past experience is any indication, virtually all of it is in the trailer (I hope that’s the case).

The film is written by Cormac McCarthy who penned No Country For Old Men for the Coen Brothers. And of course it is helmed by sometimes esteemed directory Ridley Scott who has directed a few hits here and there.

I’m still not sure what exactly to think of this film, but I am at least finally starting to get a feel for the…

Tune In Tonight for the Steve Jobs of Monsters (or something like that)

Tune In Tonight for the Steve Jobs of Monsters (or something like that)

Tonight, Joe will reunite with me on the podcast for the first time since… oh, I don’t remember and I’m too lazy to look it up. Anyway, Joe will be back and we’re going to unite in an unholy alliance, two of the most unlikely films to ever be paired, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, and JOBS — not necessarily in that order, either. I haven’t actually talked to Joe yet about what order we’re going to do it in.

In any event, I’m sure we’ll both have a lot to say about the Steve Jobs biopic, both of us being someone obsessive about Apple products and the company in general. And it will simply be…

‘Squirrels’ Trailer Features… Killer Squirrels?!?

‘Squirrels’ Trailer Features… Killer Squirrels?!?

What the…? Wait, I don’t even… Wait, what?!?

Words are failing me, and any of you who know me, that’s quite a feat. This film apparently features a town under attack from flesh-eating squirrels after a natural gas company buys up a town and destroys their food chain through environmental destruction. Yeah, it really does look bad. See for yourself.

When Disney first announced that it had purchased Lucasfilm and was planning a new trilogy of Star Wars movies, the release date for the first film was penciled in for 2015.  While an official release date has yet to be announced, Disney President Alan Horn confirmed that Episode VII will hit theaters in 2015 when speaking at the studio’s recent D23 convention.  Many have assumed that a May 2015 release date is the most likely, since all six previous Star Wars films were released in May, but now a new report has surfaced claiming that Disney is actually eyeing a different release date…

Samuel L. Jackson Talks ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’

Samuel L. Jackson Talks ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’
ComingSoon.net

“You see Nick Fury the office guy, him going about the day-to-day work of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the politics as opposed to that other stuff. It’s great to have him dealing with Captain America in terms of being able to speak to him soldier to soldier and try to explain to him how the world has changed in another way while he was frozen in time. Some of the people who used to be our enemies are now our allies — him trying to figure out, “Well, how do we trust those guys?” or “How do we trust the guys that you didn’t trust who don’t trust you? And explaining to him that the black and white of good…

David Prowse Does Not Like the Prequels

David Prowse Does Not Like the Prequels
Kevin Jagernauth - The Playlist

We might not ever have seen his face, but the man behind the Darth Vader mask has a few things to say about the prequels.

Darth Vader actor Dave Prowse recently let loose on his feelings about George Lucas’ prequels and like many of us, he was kinda bummed out when he saw them. “I didn’t like ‘Star Wars’ I, II and III at all. I think the common opinion now is they were really bad movies,” he told Hull Daily Mail, adding: “There’s no comparison with the original movies. They had a much more believable story.”

I don’t like the prequels any more than any other average Star Wars fan, but I…

Mystery Teaser from J.J. Abrams/Bad Robot

Mystery Teaser from J.J. Abrams/Bad Robot

Secrecy Sensei J.J. Abrams has dropped a teaser for… something… on the Bad Robot YouTube channel. Your guess is as good as mine as to what this teaser might actually be for. Some have speculated perhaps it has something to do with Star Wars: Episode VII, but I have to wonder what those people are smoking.

I’m going to go with something new that we haven’t heard about yet, but who knows for sure. The music sure sounds a bit Lost-ish. What do you guys think?

Conan Bribes Harrison Ford for ‘Star Wars’ Details (Video)

Conan Bribes Harrison Ford for ‘Star Wars’ Details (Video)

If you were wondering whether bribery would work to get Harrison Ford to spill the beans with any details for the upcoming Star Wars film, you might want to watch this video in which we find out the answer to that burning question. Conan is willing to shell out $1,000 to get those details, and Ford is willing to take $1,000.

I’ll say this, Ford is loving this and he’s hamming it up in the things like this I’ve seen him doing. It’s pretty good stuff.

Nathan Fillion Probably Won’t Be Batman

Nathan Fillion Probably Won’t Be Batman
Sandra Gonzalez - Entertainment Weekly

Whether Christian Bale has or has not been offered $50 million to reprise his role as Batman in Man of Steel 2 remains a mystery. (He probably hasn’t.) But with the suit officially unoccupied – as of now– the race is on to find a new Batman. But one name you can probably cross off your list? Castle star and generally geek-loved actor Nathan Fillion.

“I wonder if my throat could take it,” he said, joking that he doesn’t believe he has the vocal stamina to mimic Batman’s gravelly voice. “I think I’d make an excellent Bruce Wayne; I think I’d make a terrible Batman.”

Hahaha, I love it! I…
