There is a full Angels and Demons (sequel to The DaVinci Code) that has made its way online recently. It is pretty much just a combination of the other 2 teasers...but a bit more info is presented here.



I must say that the film is looking to shape up quite nicely and seems to have a bit more action to it than DaVinci Code. I like what I see.

They weren't lying when with the previous days teaser that the actual trailer would shortly follow. And now it is here. Enjoy!




As I said, in general, I'm a pretty big Tarantino fan. He isn't the most perfect filmmaker. In fact, at times he can be quite arrogant. But what I do love is his passion - and it comes across in almost everything of his, good and bad. After seeing this, I am certain I will be there when it opens. And I'm really glad Brad Pitt decided to have a little fun in his life. It seems that over time he has stuck to the more serious roles, and it is good to see him play something that you know won't win him any awards and was probably just a fun experience.

There are rumors floating around right now that, now that DC is back to considering some of their other franchises - there is a crazy rumor that Neil Patrick Harris' name has been floating around with the term The Flash.

According to screenrant, Now comes possible “insider” news that Neil Patrick Harris and possibly Scott Porter (according to ThinkMcFlyThink.com) are being looked at to play the Scarlet Speedster. Scott played the young Rex Racer in Speed Racer and has a recurring role on Friday Night Lights.

?!?!??!#?@$@??!@?

That is about all I have to say. I agree with Rodney over on TheMovieBlog.com where he says that this runs the potential risk of becoming an NPH movie using The Flash rather than a Flash movie starring NPH. He is just SOOOOO huge right now in the celebrity world that it seems almost impossible for people to not think - "hey, I'm watching NPH" when he is on screen. Now don't get me wrong. I would LOVE to see him totally destroy this role - but part of me just doesn't think it is so right.

And with Ryan Reynolds out of the question due to his role as Deadpool in the new Wolverine movie - who remains?

On a side note - just thought of this while typing. NPH as Spiderman? I think he offers up the perfect amount of sass - and could feasibly play a nerdy fellow as well. Not that he would be a "better" choice than Tobey - but if Tobey had to go, would you consider NPH?

Thoughts? - NPH as The Flash - Go.

Today, courtesy of firstshowing, we get our first glimpse of the teaser for Quentin Tarantino's upcoming WWII Nazi Flick - Inglourious Basterds. It is only a teaser, but according to rumors which seem to be true,

"Entertainment Tonight is showing the first full trailer for Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds tomorrow night."

So keep your eyes peeled.



I'm a little bit skeptical at this point - but to be honest - I'm rarely let down by Tarantino. I was even a fan of Grindhouse which many weren't. It was PURE fun, and I love that Tarantino is not ashamed to show us what he loved and grew up on. So even with my bit of skepticism, I'm sure I'll enjoy the flick.

I am not a huge football fan, or even a huge sports fan for that matter. But one good thing has come out of this whole Superbowl phenomenon, and that is movie trailers.

Leaked online, before the Superbowl even happens, we have spots for G.I. Joe, Transformers 2, and Star Trek. I'm going to post them, but be warned, they probably will not last long.



Overall, a decent trailer, but definitely not G.I. Joe. Interesting.



A pretty excellent trailer. I think this one will blow the first one out of the water in sheer awesomeness. Plus look at the Destructicon at the end!!!! HE IS HUGE and that is only ONE PART of Devastator!!!!



This movie is going to whoop old Star Trek's ass. I might be one of the few to say it, but I am beyond pumped that Star Trek might actually be good for once.

I am fairly pumped about the new Terminator. I have like the other ones. Really a great storyline it has going for it with robots, and time travel, and explosions and James Cameron...so I was a bit skeptical at first, hearing that McG...the guy that did Charlies Angels was going to make the new Terminator film. But I must say...so far he has delivered nothing but high expectations. Every shot I've seen, stills, posters, trailers, etc. have all been great so far.

Recently Wired got ahold of some new screens and a great little conversation piece with McG about some of the tech, a bit of the story, and some behind the scenes info. A great little read.

Be warned, there may be some slight things that some people may consider a spoiler. But I don't think there is anything that will piss people off too much, so take a look!!

Here is one of my favorite excerpts from it,

"Nobody heard 'Terminator 4' and said, 'Oh that's a great idea -- I know, let's get McG to do it!" said McG when he rolled clips from his upcoming movie in Los Angeles earlier this month. "This asshole who did Charlie's Angels, and what kind of cock calls himself McG?'"

I haven't seen the The Reader so i guess I can't say too much about it. But I will tell you what I'm missing on the best picture winner list. The Dark Knight, Revolutionary Road, and Wall-E. Did I want these movies to win if they got nominated? Well, no to The Dark Knight and Revolutionary Road and possibly yes to Wall-E. As of now my favorite movie of the year (minus those Superhero Summer Blockbusters I have such an affinity for) is Frost/Nixon. Do I think it will win? No. I think we are looking at a Slumdog year. Which I am totally happy and fine with because it is my second favorite movie of the year.

One of my biggest hopefuls this year was missing in the Best Actor Category. Where's Leo??? Leonardo DiCaprio gave an outstanding performance in Revolutionary Road. The first performance Ive seen in a long time from him where I wasn't thinking "I'm watching Leo act." I was instead thinking "Man, Frank Wheeler has got one effed up life." However, I'm rooting for Rourke on this one.

I'm glad we don't have any Gran Torino nominations which other awards and hype was leading me to believe. Outside of being totally sweet, that movie was awful.

I was surprised not to see Australia nab a Cinematography nod.

I was glad to see Hellboy II: The Golden Army pick up a nod for Best Makeup.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is the most overrated movie of the year in my opinion. It's walking with 13 nods, the most given to any movie this year. If it wins anything I hope its in the technical aspects of film making.

Where's The Boss? I can't believe he didn't get a nomination for is song fro The Wrestler.

And there you have my banter.

I will dive a little deeper into some of these movies when I give my Oscar Movies Mini-Review.
