Just the thing to give everyone a nostalgic driven smile for Friday, I happily refer you to this clever little gem: Han Solo P.I. It’s a “spot-on” mash up of the Magnum P.I. theme/opening sequence spliced with perfect scenes of the Original Star Wars Trilogy to replicate that classic intro. So take a look and enjoy…oh, and for those of you too young to enjoy Mr. Mustache himself (aka Tom Selleck) in his glory days, there is also a split scene comparison, below the first, showing just how well they did. Pretty good huh? How fitting (albiet a little “opening the wound” if you ask me) since Harrison Ford (replacing…

Sweet Trailer…'[REC]2′ – Teaser
Just file this under “A” for “awesome” and enjoy an early weekend. After seeing this over-the-top teaser for the sequel to the cult smash [REC], please feel free to call in sick tomorrow and start a fan club to await the day this film is released in the US. OK, that may be a bit much but this trailer looks AMAZING!! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bUx_-p_dN4] I like that this is, what looks like, a direct continuation of events in [REC], where a response team enters the same building and begins shooting up the inhabitants. Funny enough, I actually just saw Quarantine, the American remake of [REC], Tuesday night and I loved it, so…

Sweet Trailer…’Toy Story 3′ Teaser
Thinking back on the achievements of Pixar, they really are the best in the business. Having all but defined what a CGI film should be, they continue to improve and ultimately amaze, delight and just plain win over audiences. Since everyone knows that Toy Story was really their big break, I’m glad that they have explored so many other stories and characters instead of trying to ride out, what could have been, a “one trick pony”. The efforts of John Lasseter and more recently Brad Bird have created, in my opinion, “perfect films” in terms of plot, characters and content. Also they have been able to create the type of…

Sweet Trailer…'The Goods'
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmgpuscHjDE] This movie looks sort of funny and I think it just might have the right amount of wit, independent charm and dumb humor to work. Although in my viewing experience, films with “redband” trailers just don’t turn out to be very good. It seems like a studio only puts out a ”redband” trailer when they’re not sure the movie is going to succeed, and they can’t promote it well enough with just an “All Audiences” trailer. The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard is directed by Neal Brennan,who is making his directorial debut. His notoriety includes some episodes of “Chappelle’s Show” and the TV movie Totally Awesome previously. This film’s…

G-S-T Review…Angels & Demons
For the past few months I written about Angels & Demons, but the content of my posts were intended to be more about my expectations rather than say casting news or production development. Before stepping into the theater, I really wanted this film to work in two ways. The first was my hope that this would be a more compelling film adaptation than the DaVinci Code. The second was if there would be a little more emotion to Tom Hanks’ “Langdon” (who was criticized last time for being lifeless and miscast). But, having read both books, I found this the more complex and action packed story of the two, so stepping into…

V the Miniseries – The Remake
As a kid V was the first time I remember being intrigued and scared of alien creatures. V was HUGE in the 80’s and anyone who was alive in that decade should remember it. It was ground breaking, original, and most of all kind of fun…also it featured a much more clothed Marc Singer than his Beastmaster attire. Anyway, For those of you in the know or anyone out there who cares about the remake here is the trailer for your enjoyment: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahjPQjQGdbU] In the past months, there had been rumblings about the remake of the movie event as a series. While I kind of cringed, I secretly wanted to…

Finally…the 'Sherlock Holmes' Trailer
Well it looks as if the wait is over (for the trailer anyway)…we’ve finally been given a taste of Guy Ritchie’s take on Sherlock Holmes. I’ve written before about how big of a Guy Ritchie fan I am and how was excited about this film’s existence and development. Throw in uber-talent like Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Strong and I think we’ve got one great story in store for us. So if you’ve not seen this in the past 2 days, sit back, relax and get ready for a Sherlock Holmes story that “ain’t your grandpa’s Sherlock Holmes”. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4K3aM5H5KM] I’m very eager to see this but like all great things…

Val Kilmer’s Latest: The Irishman
The man who channeled ‘Jim Morrison’, Val Kilmer himself, has joined the cast of the mob drama The Irishman. He will fit right in alongside of Christopher Walken and Ray Stevenson who round out this heavily talented casting trio. Filmmaker Jonathan Hensleigh, who previously directed 2004’s The Punisher, will be directing this. Hensleigh also wrote the script, which is based on the life of mobster Danny Greene (Stevenson), who ran Cleveland’s criminal underworld during the late 1970s. Shooting will take place in Detroit and should have just about started. There a few actors that I’ll absolutely see anything with their names attached, regardless of the film’s outcome. I’ve written before…

Frank Sinatra…The Man, The Music and now, The Movie
There was amazing news today that there will be a biopic about the life of the one, the only, Frank Sinatra!! Wow…this makes me more excited than the news about any other movie this year, that’s for sure. The following information on this project comes from the post on First Showing: After years of negotiations with Frank Sinatra Enterprises, Universal will finally be moving forward on the biopic Sinatra. The screenplay was written by Field of Dreams screenwriter Phil Alden Robinson, and as announced today, the prolific Martin Scorsese will direct. The film is already being compared to Todd Haynes’ 2007 Bob Dylan biopic I’m Not There., at least in…
