‘Pacific Rim’ WonderCon Trailer - Monsters and Robots!

‘Pacific Rim’ WonderCon Trailer - Monsters and Robots!

I still remain skeptical that this is going to be anything other than a giant robot smash ‘em, crash ‘em action fest with no real plot. Indeed, this plot seems pretty generic.

I don’t mind familiar plots if the story deserves to be told, I have not been convinced about this story.

But, with this trailer, originally released at WonderCon, we do get to see a peek into the film for a bit more detail about the plot, about the people, and yes, we get to hear GLaDOS as the computer voice again, which, as you might expect, is ominous.

Like I said thought, I’m going into this film ready for…

‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Viral Video and Promo

‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Viral Video and Promo

Wait, wait, wait, is this becoming a Star Trek site or something?

Well no, but it’s certainly hard for me not to talk about it since I love Trek so much. Also, the response from you, my readers, has been really great with Star Trek. So you guys are just throwing gasoline on the fire here.

I’ve got a couple of new goodies. First is a look at Uhura. You might remember that last week “John Harrison” sent out two messages like this, one about Captain Kirk, and the other about Spock. This week it’s Uhura. Take a look.

This video is fun and all, but there’s one really awesome thing that…

Two More ‘Iron Man 3’ TV Spots

Two More ‘Iron Man 3’ TV Spots

Well it seems Marvel has a little bit more to show us before the film premieres here in the U.S. because there’s just a bit of new footage we haven’t yet seen in these spots.

The first spot is titled Soldiers, and the second is called Heroes, There is No Such Thing.

Is it May 3 yet?

Homemade Bullet Time

Homemade Bullet Time

Apropos of nothing, this is a fun little homemade video remake of a scene from my favorite film. The Matrix being my favorite film, how could I not post it?

Olga Kay (Trinity) and Jeremy Jahns (Neo) enter The Matrix this week on Homemade Movies! The rooftop showdown with the famous shot of Neo dodging bullets gets the homemade makeover without VFX. Be sure to checkout the non-VFX breakdown of the shots in the Behind The Scenes video.

Just as much fun are the following two videos, the side by side comparison, and the behind the scenes:

Steven Spielberg’s ‘Obama’

Steven Spielberg’s ‘Obama’

What. On. Earth?!?

I think this is supposed to be funny or something but I never did laugh. Still it seemed worth posting because everyone seems to be going on and on about it.

From what I understand this was played up as a spoof during a White House Correspondents dinner. What kills me is that the President had to take the time to film this thing for this spoof. It’s really weird.

‘RED 2’ - Trailer 2

‘RED 2’ - Trailer 2

Man oh man, this looks like a lot of fun!

This trailer unravels a little more of the plot for us, but let’s be honest, while the film would be nothing without a decent plot, it’s really as much about the old action star humor as anything. I loved the first film and I expect to love this one. If you were not a fan of the first film, I suspect you won’t like this one either.

This trailer also gives us a little bit better look at Anthony Hopkins and the character he is playing, who is apparently a mad scientist. Hopkins often plays is more serious roles but it looks like he’s having fun…

Tony Stark Has Heart to Heart with Pepper

Tony Stark Has Heart to Heart with Pepper

Iron Man 3 opens this weekend and we’re all looking forward to it a lot. So let’s open up the week with this clip of Tony Stark having a heart to heart conversation with Pepper Potts.

It’s this sort of thing that makes me think this film is possibly going to be the best Iron Man film yet. This clip does not feature Stark flying around fighting baddies or other crazy action at all. It’s just dialog, and it’s good stuff. This is to me what makes a film good.

Take a look.

Writing Star Wars

Writing Star Wars

Funny or Die has this pretty awesome video depicting what it must or might be like for Michael Arndt to try to write something good for Star Wars. I certainly don’t envy him, he’s got a tough act to follow — the original three are hailed as great, the three prequels are hailed as absolute garbage, and his job is to make something that will please and appease everyone.

Yeah… good luck with that.

 

‘Monsters University’ Trailer 3

‘Monsters University’ Trailer 3

So since Pixar’s thing lately seems to be sequels, we might as well get comfy and enjoy them. Some of their best work has been in their sequels (Toy Story 3, anyone?).

While I do wish they would turn out some good original content, I’ll make myself happy with the likes of Monsters University. It’s looking pretty fun and funny if nothing else.

I’m looking forward to seeing it on June 21!

Gwyneth Paltrow Thinks ‘Iron Man’ Is Done

Gwyneth Paltrow Thinks ‘Iron Man’ Is Done

Well, shoot. That’s no good if true.

In an interview with Geek Nation, Gwyneth Paltrow made us all cry tears of grief and rage when she said, “I don’t think there’s going to be [an ‘Iron Man 4’]. I think we’re done with ‘Iron Man.” We await word to see if the studio, producers, and other filmmakers involved agree with that.

But all around that sad little bit of news is a great, fun, and geeky video that you should take the time to watch!
