Is it Sci-Fi? Horror? Fantasy? I don’t know but the trailer is thrilling and certainly piqued my interest. The Cabin in the Woods seems a confusing mess with elements of Dreamcatcher, Cabin Fever, Star Trek and even Halloween, among others, all mixed together. With Drew Goddard (Cloverfield, Lost and Alias) at the helm (and co-writing) I think it’s a real worry. Goddard’s work stretches the envelope beyond recognition, but, with Joss Whedon’s strong presence (and balance), The Cabin in the Woods could be that most unusual film: one that blends genres to make a synergistic whole. Whedon’s Firefly/Serenity did that brilliantly. It bodes well that SXSW has chosen it for opening night!

I’m cautiously optimistic even after having seen the trailer. Check it out:

This trailer is just weird enough to fascinate me. Billed as a version of the Kaspar Hauser story: the tale of a boy that disappeared in childhood and reappeared with no explanation as an adult, the film stars cult film’s Vincent Gallo. If nothing else it is a rather odd story and the boy could have been kidnapped by aliens (or am I watching too much Dr. Who?). Dancing with spacecraft anyone?

Today is Friday the 13th and what better way to celebrate than to sit down with one of my favorite horror franchises. I remember the first time I saw Friday the 13th on HBO back in the 80’s. My dad gave me the blessing to watch it one night (he wasn’t the biggest fan of slashers). I remember being so giddy, watching the clock and waiting for the time when the movie would start. Leading up to that night, I remember flipping through Fangoria magazine and hearing the older kids talk about it. I wasn’t disappointed! The music is unforgettable. Tom Savini’s ghoulish effects were awesome! It was the beginning of a series that would stretch over the years with 10 movies, a remake, a mashup with Freddy, documentaries, and an “in-name only” television series.
My favorite of the franchise is Part 2. The body count doubled and the potato sack Jason freaked me out. I watched Part 2 late at night when my parents were gone and when Jason crashed through the window at the end I leaped out of my chair. I was freaked out for days.
I met Kane Hodder at Horror Hound Weekend and he was a real cool dude (see picture above of him crushing my throat). Kane’s portrayal of Jason is a fan favorite.
So grab your favorite Friday film and watch it tonight. Just make sure your house is locked up tight. Cheers.

If the movie is anything like the The Five-Year Engagement trailer I can’t wait. Finally a romantic comedy that looks to be just good clean fun. With Emily Blunt and Jason Segelin the lead roles I cannot wait! Enjoy the trailer, the movie comes out April 27, 2012.

Vastly superior alien technology, body armor unlike anything humans have ever seen and a deadly threat to our world, that’s what we have stacked against us. But what we have is a Battleship. Boy am I relieved. Check out the trailer and be ready. It’s scheduled for May 18, 2012.

Ridley Scott is returning to the “Alien” mythology with “Prometheus”. The trailer is awesome, revealing imagery that may answer questions to the mysteries of Scott’s first masterpiece, “Alien”. I love how the title graphics slowly come together just like the opening of “Alien” and the music is so creepy. The visuals are amazing and I’m really looking forward to this!

Straight out of Middle Earth comes the amazing trailer for The Hobbit. Peter Jackson’s epic Lord of the Rings trilogy blew my mind and I am more than excited for his return to that world with The Hobbit. It’s a year away…I’m going to go mad waiting for it.

An all star cast, incredibly stupid bits and danger at every turn could turn this movie into the next goofy comedy to see. Will Ferrell, Jeff Goldblum, Zach Galifianakis and Robert Loggia are just a few of the players in this zany would be cult classic. The trailer Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie is funny, the cast well chosen and the plot seems a no-brainer for today’s 99% audience. Intended for release March, 3rd, 2012.

Now this gets me excited for the blockbuster season!!  The trailer seems to capture the spirit of the first MIB. And just seeing Josh Brolin as a young K makes me laugh. I’ve heard rumblings about script problems, but lets keep our fingers crossed!!

Where to start? First I will say that I’m not the biggest Stooges fan but I do appreciate the timing and physical comedy of the originals. That being said this new incarnation has none of the charm of the originals. In a time when many of the best parts of a movie are in the trailer this trailer doesn’t have any. After watching this I felt like I got poked in the eyes!
