‘Star Wars Into Darkness’ - Mashup

‘Star Wars Into Darkness’ - Mashup

Oh man, I want to watch that film!

This is likely only the first of many such mashups. In fact, once Star Trek Into Darkness is released, I expect there to be whole film adaptions and mashups, or at least short film length mashups.

Anyway, this perhaps can give you just an idea of what we’re in for — although there just are not enough lens flares present here to be a completely accurate representation of what Abrams will bring to Star Wars.

John McClane In (Causing?) Traffic Trouble In Russia

John McClane In (Causing?) Traffic Trouble In Russia

Here he is, back in action. But this time, he’s bringing us the action from Russia! And he’s pulling his usual shenanigans, you know, stealing cars, running over stuff, causing chaos, all that good stuff. He wouldn’t be John McClane if he wasn’t causing, or in the middle of chaos I suppose.

A Good Day to Die Hard opens on Valentine’s Day.

Kirsten Dunst and Jim Sturgess Defy Gravity - Upside Down Trailer

Kirsten Dunst and Jim Sturgess Defy Gravity - Upside Down Trailer

Color me impressed, this is an actual interesting concept that I have never, and probably would never have conceived of. Now, don’t think too hard about actual science as you read, look at the images, and watch the trailer, unless I’m mistaken it need not apply here.

And now, observe a screen shot from the trailer.

No, that image has not been flipped upside down, Kirsten Dunst’s world has. In Upside Down, Kirsten Dunst and Jim Sturgess star in this sci-fi romance as a pair from two adjacent planets with opposite gravitational pulls who fall in love. But their laws forbid interaction…

‘jOBS’ Movie Scene Totally Wrong

‘jOBS’ Movie Scene Totally Wrong
Gizmodo

The first scene from iJOBS—the biopic on Steve Jobs starring Ashton Kutcher—may be pretty decent, but it never happened. Not even close, according to Steve Wozniak, who says they “never had such interaction and roles.”

Woz had this to say in a Gizmodo comment:

Not close…we never had such interaction and roles…I’m not even sure what it’s getting at…personalities are very wrong although mine is closer…don’t forget that my purpose was inspired by the values of the Homebrew Computer Club along with ideas of the value of such machines and Steve J. wasn’t around and didn’t attend the club…

Die Hard Marathon Trailer

Die Hard Marathon Trailer

Want to see all the Die Hard films in theater? You are so in luck. For one day only, they’re coming. And we’ve got a trailer here to let you know about it too.

Seriously, I’m tempted to see at least the first one. I was like six years old when it came out. Consequently I did not see it in theater.

‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’ has Ninjas!

‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’ has Ninjas!

I hope you like ninjas, because G.I. Joe: Retaliation is going to have lots of them if this spot is to be any indication.

The spot finally gets around to showing us some other action from Dwayne Johnson, and yes, Bruce Willis. Also apparently, we’ll be getting a four minute preview of the film in front of Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters. A reason to go see Hansel & Gretel for the skeptical perhaps (such as Joe).

This film drops on March 29th.

Halle Berry in ‘The Call’ - Trailer

Halle Berry in ‘The Call’ - Trailer

When veteran 911 operator, Jordan (Halle Berry), takes a life-altering call from a teenage girl (Abigail Breslin) who has just been abducted, she realizes that she must confront a killer from her past in order to save the girl’s life.

It’s funny that despite my watching the film universe like a hawk I can still miss stuff like this. It’s an indication of bad marketing, frankly. Still, this film has a couple more months so maybe they can get it some publicity. The original trailer has been out for a bit, the trailer I found today is a TV spot. They are both below. It looks like an…

‘Revolution’ Animated Webisodes

‘Revolution’ Animated Webisodes

This isn’t terribly exciting, but if you were enjoying revolution before you, like me, were rudely interupted by the mid-season break, then this might be a tasty little snack to tide you over for the meal to come on March 25th.

Starting yesterday, NBC is debuting a new animated webisode every week through February 18. These webisodes are basd on letters written by Sgt. Joseph Wheatly (Reed Diamond), the guy who led Miles (Billy Burke) into the oxygen depleted tunnels toward Philly and into a trab set by Gen. Monroe (David Lyons).

Here’s Episode 1.

‘Defiance’ - Upcoming SyFy Show

‘Defiance’ - Upcoming SyFy Show

I’m not sure how I missed this. Maybe because it’s on SyFy and I’ve pretty much given them up as a bad job. I mean actual sci-fi on SyFy? Say it isn’t so, I thought they had given that up. But this appears to be sci-fi on SyFy, and it may even be good. We’ll have to see.

I found this synopsis from GeekZenith.com:

The show is set in the near future where Aliens known as the Votans come to Earth seeking refuge after their home star system is destroyed. Naturally, when they arrive they are not welcomed by Humans with open arms. Instead, they orbit Earth for 6 years whilst negotiating with…

‘Oblivion’ - First TV Spot

‘Oblivion’ - First TV Spot

Hey look, it’s Tom Cruise playing Tom Cruise.

Seriously though, while Tom Cruise can only play certain types of characters, he’s really good at playing those characters and this looks like one of the good ones. Also, MORGAN FREEMAN! What can go wrong?

Jack Harper is one of the last few drone repairmen stationed on Earth. Part of a massive operation to extract vital resources after decades of war with a terrifying threat known as the Scavs, Jack’s mission is nearly complete. Living and patrolling the breathtaking skies from thousands of feet above, his soaring existence is brought…
