For all you Star Wars aficionados who found the “Troops” videos as funny as I did. Here’s a blast from the past.

Episode 4, February 25, 2008
Jason and Chuck discuss the new Beowulf DVD and ponder 3D outtakes, jump a shark, delve deep into the Highlander universe; and try to understand how Sam Jackson picks his films.
New Ironman trailer floating out there and I have to say it looks incredible. It looks like Ironman could potentially be up there with the big boys after all.
From a pure marketing standpoint, this movie is already kicking all sorts of ass.
Watch and drool.
After Terminator 3: Breasts, a movie audiences found somewhat disappointing (I loved it), many thought that the franchise was dead. Now with a television series and a whole new crew working on the next Terminator movie a lot of people have been wishing it would just go away.
The franchise definitely can use some good news, and here it is. Batman has signed on to play the adult John Connor in T4 out May 22nd, 2009. Christian Bale has proven himself as a diverse and exciting actor, hopefully he can pull this franchise back up.
** as a side note I was just thinking how kick ass it would be to have a Batman vs Terminator movie. Someone in Hollywood call me, I’ve got the plot all worked out. It involves cat food. I’ll tell you more over the phone.
Anyone watching the television show? I’d like to hear some impressions.
By the way I was going to put up a picture of Christian Bale, but I couldn’t locate one (didn’t try)anywhere on the web. I had to run with this one of Kristanna Loken from Terminator 3 instead… sorry.
30 Days of Night- Saw it in the theater, definitely enjoyable but somewhat depressing-bizarre ending. The whole movie makes you feel like you’re freezing your ass off.
Beowulf- Just go buy it. I mean… seriously, don’t be a fool.
The Darjeeling Limited- The latest from Wes Anderson of Rushmore/Royal Tannenbaums fame. I enjoyed his other stuff ( big shock, I know.. movies I like), hope this one follows suit.
We’ve got The Dark Knight, Iron Man, the new Hulk, Wanted, Hellboy 2, Hancock, Babylon A.D. and Indiana Freaking Jones… and now what could be my most anticipated movie in ages. July 25th, 2008 the X Files are back. It’s a pretty safe bet that if you’re not a fan of this show, you don’t belong on this site.
Yeah its a crappy video of the trailer… but seeing them on screen, it’s a thing of beauty.
Check out IGN for a whole bunch of news from the Game Developers Conference including the first video from Gears of War 2. Lot’s of great info coming out so jump on over and see the latest announcements.
And if you’ve never seen Lester Speight as Terrible Terry Tate (aka: Cole Train from Gears of War) the Office Linebacker, you should be ashamed of yourself and go to youtube now and watch them all.
I so wanted to like this movie. Really I did. Usually when Sam Jackson is in a flick and he’s got weird hair – it’s gonna be good (Case in point: “Pulp Fiction” vs. “Deep Blue Sea”). I mean, look at this pedigree:
Director: Doug Lyman
Writer: David S. Goyer
Actors: Hayden Christensen, Samuel L. Jackson, Diane Lane, Rachel Bilson, Michael Rooker
Jesus, how do you screw that up? Oh wait, don’t have a plot. Riiiiiiiiight. Throw in some cool SFX (which are freakin’ awesome BTW) and some excellent actors (who are excellent, BTW – especially Rooker who is way underused) and maybe the audience will look past the open ended plot lines and dead-end back story. Wait, back story? Did I say back story? I meant “back-line” because that’s all it got on screen. “Paladins have been hunting Jumpers since the middle ages,” that’s it. I was waiting for them to explain Jumping is made possible my Midi-chlorians for christ’s sake.
Uugh. I’m sure Jason will love it as he holds a Crank/Jumper love-fest, but oh man. This movie had soooo much potential, maybe Jumper 2 will make it a plausible property.
Mova is taking traditional motion capture and turning it on its ear with its Contour Reality Capture technology. Check out the story at joystiq. (Thanks for the link Cesar)
Not a bad take this week as we’ve got some movies that you can not only enjoy, but you get to pretend like you’re cultured and deep in the process.
Michael Clayton- George Clooney in a movie about him on the phone. At least that’s what the box cover makes me think. I’ll need to see this one since I am a Clooney**fan… but he does look awfully serious.
American Gangster -Denzel Washington and Russel Crowe in a 70’s period piece about gangster Frank Lucas. Sorry Virtuosity fans, this is not a sequel.
Lust, Caution – Ang Lee’s somewhat controversial NC-17 rated WWII espionage drama. Personally I think it’s Lee’s apology to American audiences for the Hulk. And by apology I mean he gives us a bunch of sex and it will allow you to appear interested in foreign films.
** Clooney fan status does not include his portrayal of Batman.
