Hey Everybody,
Really not a whole lot to say, Ridley Scott is a god in the film world and seeing this trailer for his new film Prometheus fills me with all sorts of amazing feelings. I am really excited to sink my teeth into this one.
Wow, the butterflies in my stomach are going nuts after peeping that shit. Can not wait to take a full viewing in June. Hope to see you there.
Till Next Time. Stay Tuned.

Hey Everybody,
With all the great genre films coming out in 2012, for me Ridley Scott’s Prometheus is right at the top of the list. I already know I’ll be going multiple times in the theater for the veteran director first return to Sci-Fi since 1982’s Blade Runner. Also being the first time that Scott has used 3D for a feature film, I figure we are in for a epic treat that is rarely seen nowadays.
The Basic Synopsis from 20th Century Fox goes: A team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.
Very little was know about the actual story up till the last few weeks, but what has been know for a while is that this film plays as a prequel to the original 1979 Alien directed by Ridley as well.
The real question for a while, was how close did it relate to the actual “Alien” franchise and the original movie.
I have been trying hard to actually not read as much as I normally would for a film like this I’m so interested in, because I want to be surprized by something in my older viewing life. Already I have stumbles on to stuff I didn’t even want to know before going in, but thus is the nature of the information super highway we all live on now a days.
I would enjoy watching it not even seeing a trailer but of course I can’t resist watching the video stuff coming up, as such below. This is something new, a preview countdown to a trailer, enjoy.
Wow, It really looks so rad, June 8th 2012 is going to rock
Till next Time. Stay Tuned.

Hey Everybody,
The first G.I. Joe film was a terrible piece of shit with a few interesting/ cool action sequences thrown in, and possibly the worst sword fight in any movie ever in history. What a shit storm of terrible direction. Thanks to the producers of G.I. Joe 2 : Retaliation
for cutting the fat, dumping director Stephen Sommers and getting someone who at least looks like they can make an interesting visual film with some sort of continuity. And judging by this trailer Jon M. Chu has given me a multiple of sword fights and action to dig into. Looking forward a lot more to G.I. Joe: Retaliation after seeing this preview. Check it out:
This just might even make me forget that Chu directed the 3D Bieber flick.
Till Next Time. Stay Tuned.

Hey Everybody,
Trailers, Trailers, Trailers. A big few weeks for the release of new trailers and some have a better look at their respected movies being the second previews released. Some look like they could be cool, Some look like a full out waste time, money and brain power. You decide for yourself below…
SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS- Director Guy Ritchie [Sherlock Holmes (2009), RocknRolla (2008), Revolver (2005), Swept Away (2002), Snatch (2000), Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels (1998) ]
This looks good to me, bigger production than the original, great actors, interesting visuals and great action pieces. Hope it tops the first one which I thought was OK but not amazing.
THE CABIN IN THE WOOD- Director Drew Goddard [ Writer of Cloverfield, TVs- Lost, Alias, Angel, Buffy The Vampire Slayer ]
I was working on a long series of commercials a few years ago at Lions Gate Studio in North Vancouver, when I noticed my friend who was in wardrobe on what looked to be some crazy ass bloody horror movie. When asking her what it was, she mentioned the writer of Cloverfeild directing, Joss Whedon as the co writer/ producer and super Hard R material. I really didn’t need to hear anymore, I wanted to see it. Skip to 3 years later it finally gets a release. I really think this is going to be a rad mix of genres that 80’s horror fans will really appreciate. I can’t wait for this one personally. I’m thinking this was a movie they had no idea how to market so it sat around for a long while, but I hoping it turn out to kick bloody ass.
UNDERWORLD: AWAKENING 3D- Directors Måns Mårlind, Björn Stein [Shelter (2009), Storm (2005) ]
This looks like a really cool idea and with very nice set pieces. Will probably suck beyond belief . Money grab is written all over this one. Power to ’em if the humans buy in.
JOHN CARTER- Director Andrew Stanton [ Wall-E (2008), Finding Nemo (2003) ]
Looks better that the first trailer for sure. I sort of like it, but like I said before, it’s reported that Disney needs to pull in $700 million to break even here. Good luck with that one Walt!
THE GREY- Director Joe Carnahan [A-Team (2010), Smokin’ Aces (2006), Narc (2002) ]
This second trailer makes this look super rad. I will be seeing this one.
BATTLESHIP- Director Peter Berg [Very Bad Things (1998), The Rundown (2003), Friday Night Light (2004), The Kingdom (2007), Hancock (2008) ]
Bullshit, upon more bullshit and a twist of stupid robots. This is the kind of crap we’re getting because of the financial success of Transformers. I would rather watch Daredevil and Fantasitic Four back To back for a whole day that have to sit thought this once.
GOON- Director MICHAEL DOWSE [FUBAR (2002), It’s all Gone Pete Tong (2004), FUBAR 2 (2010), Take Me Home Tonight (2011)]
I love me some FUBAR and Pete Tong. Go Dowse. Looks pretty funny.
MEN IN BLACK 3- Director Barry Sonnenfeld [ Runaway Vacation (2006), Men In Balck 2 (2002), Big Trouble (2002), Wild Wild West (1999), Men In Black (1997), Get Shorty (1995), Addams Family Values (1993), For Love Or Money (1993), The Addams Family (1991)]
No interest but I’m sure some of you are excited for the third one of this bullshit. If I had made Wild, Wild West I would of retired from directing all together out of embarrassment. I guess Sonnenfeld has very little shame. To bad I really liked his earlier work, before MIB. Guess he just needs a pay check like every other sap. Enjoy suckers.
Till Next Time. Stay Tuned.

Hey Everybody,
I’m really looking forward to the last Batman film in Chris Noland ‘s trilogy, and the marketing machine at Warner Brothers starts their push for dominant position in the summer blockbuster race. They finally confirmed the 7 minute IMAX prologue for The Dark Knight Rises will appear in front of 70mm IMAX copies of Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol opening December 16th in the US and Canada, December 21st in the UK. They also released the list of IMAX theaters that will get the preview. Director Christopher Noland had stipulated that only true IMAX 70MM film theaters will get the prologue. Apparently there are some IMAX screens that are actually blown up digitally projected images and thus the picture quality isn’t even close to true IMAX presentations. Below is the list of theaters getting the preview via The HD Room :
And yes, both Greater Vancouver IMAX screens are getting the preview
Hope To See You There.
Till Next Time. Stay Tuned.
