‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ ‘Walking Dead’ Commercial

Sorry I have been absent for the last couple of days. Joe has been able to post a few things for me, but I miss digging up cool stuff and sharing it with you. I’ll be in and out with family stuff going on, but wanted to start jumping back in the saddle a little bit as I have a moment here and there.

This is something cool I found this past weekend and would have shared it with you at the beginning of the week.

Richard Griffiths Passes Away at 65

Richard Griffiths Passes Away at 65
Selina Wilken - Hypable

Very sad news: today we learned that British actor Richard Griffiths, best known for his roles in Harry Potter and History Boys, has passed away.

The Independent and various other news outlets are reporting that Griffiths, 65, died yesterday of complications following heart surgery.

Harry Potter fans will probably remember this seasoned actor best as Uncle Vernon in the Harry Potter movies; Richard Griffiths was able to bring the nasty character to life in such a believable way that it was a shock to turn and watch him in The History Boys, where he played the flawed but beloved teacher…

What to see: Weekend of March 29, 2013

Hey peeps, we got some movies lined up for you to see this weekend. The light at the end of the winter tunnel is getting brighter, we’re walking toward it, it’s almost here. It’s not quite summer yet, but we do have some good options at least now. Let’s take a gander.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation - PG-13
This film is not going to be anything like Shakespeare. It’s not even going to be as good as a really good action film like The Avengers. And yet I expect it to be fun. It has Bruce Willis in it for crying out loud (and we’re pretending like that last Die Hard film he made doesn’t…

Jack the Giant Slayer — Review

4 of 5 stars
Jack the Giant Slayer

Are you ready my brothers? Today we shall climb up the beanstalk to take a look at giants whose leader sounds suspiciously like Bill Nighy.

I realize I am extremely late getting this review out, but I’ve had a lot of demands on my time lately. Still, I would like to put “pen to paper” and let my thoughts loose on the world, particularly because this film is seeing such poor reviews and no one is going to see it in theaters.

This is unfortunately getting to be a thing with Bryan Singer. I love his films, the world hates them. Well to be fair, most folks love the first two X-Men films.…

Shatner Battles The Gorn… Again

Shatner Battles The Gorn… Again

I have no interest in this game, but I thought this trailer was loads of fun. And Shatner telling the Gorn he’s “overacting” is just too rich.

Plus seeing those silly hand to hand techniques from Star Trek of the ‘60s: too much fun. Who ever fights like that? And poor old out of breath Kirk…

If you are interested in the game, don’t be fooled by the appearance of “Kirk Prime”. Apparently it’s set in the JJVerse and takes place between the events of Star Trek (2009), and Star Trek Into Darkness.

See the epic battle below.

Ashley Judd Will Not Be Running for Senate

Ashley Judd Will Not Be Running for Senate
Erik Hayden - Hollywood Reporter

Despite months of speculation that she would be running for Kentucky’s Senate seat in 2014, Ashley Judd decided against the idea officially on Wednesday.

“After serious and thorough contemplation, I realize that my responsibilities & energy at this time need to be focused on my family,” the Olympus Has Fallen actress wrote on Twitter.

This was totally not on my radar at all. I can’t say I’m sorry that an actress is not going to be running for political office — though on second thought maybe that would be better than the clowns we have now…

‘G.I. Joe’ Rakes in $2 Million Wednesday Night

‘G.I. Joe’ Rakes in $2 Million Wednesday Night
Pamela McClintock - Hollywood Reporter

Getting a jump on Easter weekend, filmmaker Jon M. Chu‘s action bonanza G.I. Joe: Retaliation began rolling out late Wednesday night in North America, grossing a solid $2.2 million.

Tracking suggests the sequel—with a cast led by franchise newcomers Dwayne Johnson and Bruce Willis —will post a four-day domestic debut in the $40 million to $45 million range, although Paramount believes there’s a chance of hitting $50 million.

Retaliation also is opening in most international markets (75 percent) and is anticipating a global opening in the $100 million range.

As I’ve said before,…

‘The Hobbit: Desolation Of Smaug’ First Look Clip

‘The Hobbit: Desolation Of Smaug’ First Look Clip

OH MY GOODNESS YOU’LL WANT TO SEE THIS!!!!11!! It’s Gandalf and Radagast wondering around in a dark cave!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHH.

But seriously it’s kind of cool to see the first clip, I guess. Personally, when I found this I was hoping for a clip of Martin Freeman’s Bilbo with the Ring or something. This is sort of… meh. But it’s something, and that’s… something, I guess.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug opens on December 13, 2013.

The Wolverine - Full Trailers

The Wolverine - Full Trailers

Alright, so after all the teasing, the full trailer is here. Actually two of them — an international trailer and a domestic trailer. Considering that The Wolverine premieres on July 26, the first trailers seem like they are coming sort of late to the party. As comparison, both Man of Steel and Iron Man 3 coming out this summer debuted trailers last year.

But in any event, here are the trailers. I was only able to find the domestic trailer on Apple Trailers which has a terrible embed experience, Click through to see it in HD and the like. The International trailer is from YouTube and looks…
