Fast Cars

There are trailers for two auto-themed sequels on the IMDb homepage right now. Guess which one looks more tolerable. Fast Five Cars 2 They may both start with the same "futuristic text" sound, but Fast Five exudes far more action, heart, thrills,  humor and charm (thanks to Luda and The Rock) than Cars 2. Cars 2 matches with almost as many guns/explosions and two unfortunately contrived potty gags. Cars was a misstep for Pixar. Cars 2 looks like a wreck.

Hobo With A Shotgun trailer... RED BAND!

Ip Man 2 trailer

Will from the Gentlemen's Guide got me to check this out tonight. I really need to check out Twitch more This looks goddamn outstanding, and I REALLY need to see the first Ip Man !!

Hilarious Cinco De Mayo Message from Machete

Image
Hey Arizona, Don't Fuck With This Mexican... MACHETE has some Cinco De Mayo words for you!!! c licky clicky on the link above to see an updated trailer for Robert Rodriguez's upcoming machete with a little special addition from Machete (Trejo) at the beginning. Kinda ballsy... and I like it! Hey folks, Harry here and earlier today Robert Rodriguez and Danny Trejo dropped by my house with a package. Rodriguez is calling this his "Illegal" trailer. You see, Robert talked Fox into letting him put together a Cinco De Mayo message for ARIZONA - given. Well, the way things are in Arizona at this moment - it is kinda insane that there is a movie that was shot over a year ago waiting to be released that is about - THIS EXACT ISSUE... but if, Danny Trejo and buddies went Revolution Wacko as a result. Make no bones about it, this is a pure Mexploitation film, but like real exploitation at its height, that shit was pulled straight out of the headlines, even sometimes slightly...

While I'm being lazy...

...and taking forever to finish my review, you can watch the trailer for The Man From Hong Kong!

This looks fun

I saw Tommy Davidson plugging it a couple weeks ago then doing his awesome Sammy Davis Jr. haha Black Dynamite! "Drives a $5000 car and wears a hundred dollar suit!" "I am smilin'" Thanks to Large William of The Gentlemen's Guide to Midnite Cinema for pointing out the suit/car reference from the trailer to trouble man. I highly suggest checking out that flick if you haven't seen it. Well made blaxploitation with a phenomenal Marvin Gaye soundtrack. Ever wondered where the name Mr. T came from? Look no further

Alex de la Iglesias trailers

Image
Besides e-meeting a lot of cool people lately, keeping up with and taking part in all the podcasts as well as keeping this blog allows me to come across tons of films that I would have just overlooked completely. Or in this case, a body of work by a particular director. Miles from the podcast Showshow turned me onto some wild looking films by director Alex de la Iglesias last night. I had not heard about any of them, but I'm excited to check them all out! He is Spanish, and most of his films seem to take place there, but maybe I can cheat and slip one in for this theme month. These could make for a little marathon of trashy fun. Thank you, Miles! Perdita Durango (1997) El día de la bestia (Day of the Beast) (1995) 800 Balas (800 Bullets) (2002) Accion mutante (1993)

This is opening at my theater soon, and I'm pretty pumped about it. And what a fantastic poster! Here's a more titular alternate poster!

And because the fans demanded it...

(not really) I am reworking my old review for New Barbarians! I know, I know... get it all out now. This trailer is way too long and shows about half the movie, but it's still full of awesome Check out this (fan made?) trailer for the film. I got a good laugh with their choice of closing scene. RRRRIP!

Coming soon to assorted loaf...

...oh yes

Battlefield Stadium

Oh man, I love baseball like I love wrestling. This looks ridiculous and stupid... ...and I want to see it!

Profondo Rosso Trailer

I've never seen the original Italian trailer before tonight. Thanks to vcinema for bringing it to my attention! So good...

BIG FAN Trailer

I'm a big Oswalt fan. When my friend sent me this, I thought it was gonna be a screwball comedy or something. Looks entirely different.

Coming soon....?

I feel like reviewing this. And of course I've never seen it

I'm sick and lazy and tired

We got a new pooch (rescue) over the weekend, so my hands have been tied as far as watching much at all and definitely with writing anything. Plus I've woken up with some sore throat, overly tired thing going so I just want to whine So it's time for some trailers! I saw this one yesterday and it looks really interesting. Heath Ledger died about 1/3 of the way through the filming of this, so various actors play the same role as the character travels to different places. Terry Gilliam looks to be on here... let's hope it is good! And let's not forget INGLORIOUS BASTERDS opening next Friday!!! I am always excited about a new Tarantino project. I wanted to put the newer trailer up, but imbedding of that has been disabled unfortunately. You can see that here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOMKloOEKcU

RIP John Hughes // Don't You Forget About Me

When I think of 80s film, when I think of my favorites growing up, there is always a few Hughes written/directed films in there. I'm sure 18 million other people are saying similar things about Hughes today, but I just wanted to put mine out there as well. I saw this posted, and it looks pretty interesting. Fitting for today I think

Speaking of hot movie posters

Image
This one makes me feel a little tickly inside. The art of the movie poster is essentially lost these days. Acres upon acres of just uninspired shit (I guess it matches many of the uninspired hollywood films we see all the time), but every once in awhile some "old-fashioned" attention is given to a poster and it's a treat for a visual guy like myself. I would like to have seen an illustrated Rockwell in the center of the circles instead of the photograph, and I'm not entirely sure about the multiple shades of grey flying forward effect on his name in the upper left (one simple white line of text would have been effective, I think), but overall this stylish poster really stands out from a lot you see these days. It reminds me of an old Solaris poster I came across a few weeks ago. (You should be able to click on either of these posters for a higher resolution image) I really want to see the film itself. I've not really had the funds lately to make any theatre trips,...

SAMURAI AVENGER: THE BLIND WOLF

This one looks like fun to me as well. That said, I have already heard it sucks. I'll probably see it regardless if and when I get the chance. The comment I have read is that the pacing, directing, and the acting is just really bad. Sadness. Join in on a discussion about it on popsyndicate !

FANTASTIC MR. FOX

This trailer made me smile. Animated Wes Anderson! Whoo whoo... click click
