Director Andrew Stanton has been hard at work on his big screen adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ classic sci-fi novel A Princess of Mars and all the while we’ve been wondering how it was shaping up. Recently we’ve seen some concept images (after the jump), a lack luster poster but today we get our first glimpse of the world of John Carter. Admittedly its still rough and has a SyFy feel to it but it looks like it’s headed in the right direction. Well how would I know, I’ve never read the book:P Anyway, for your enjoyment, a look at Andrew Stanton’s live-action epic… Sporting a varied but still very…

Sweet (Teaser) Trailer…'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy'
From director Tomas Alfredson comes the espionage throwback adaptation of John Le Carré’s best-selling novel Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Like Munich before it, this looks like a well crafted retro-styled spy thriller of the highest caliber. Sporting a highly impressive cast featuring Tom Hardy, Mark Strong, Colin Firth, Ciarán Hinds, Stephen Graham and John Hurt just to name a few, this all star line-up looks sure to please. But have a look as this seems, even for a teaser of less than perfect quality, like it’s firing on all the right cyllinders. Enjoy… (Note: We’ll get a proper trailer of higher quality as soon as it becomes available) Known for the stellar vampire film Let…

Sweet Trailer…'Green Lantern'
Super hero season is nearly upon us and while the (mostly) Earth THOR comes out this weekend, next month DC’s Green Lantern looks to take us beyond the stars in this epic looking comic film. Here we have the final and full-on theatrical trailer for the Green Lantern and boy, does it look special. Grand in pretty much every aspect it looks like its got a lot to prove and that’s one good thing about comic films lately; the fact they’re all trying to out do each other. In theory all these evolving comic adaptations should yield a better end product that makes fans and studios very happy. Whether on…

Sweet (Teaser) Trailer…’Green Lantern’
Well the hits just keep on coming don’t they? We thought two pretty sweet trailers in one day was enough. But as yesterday was just chock full of teaser/trailer goodness it seems there’s more fun to be had this week. Most of you have probably seen the Entertainment Tonight “first look” clip and intriguing as it was, we now have something even better! Below we have this simply stunning trailer for Martin Campbell‘s Green Lantern film starring Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan/Green Lantern. This longer than normal teaser trailer (kind of like the Thor trailer released at Comic Con) really sets the stage for the big screen debut of another popular DC…

G-S-T Review…Robin Hood
In Hollywood circles, there’s been some constant actor director tag teams in the past, Johnny Depp,/Tim Burton, Nic Cage/Jerry Bruckheimer, DeNiro(and DiCaprio)/Scorsese to name a few. But if there’s one team that continues to impress, it’s the one, two punch of Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe. Well those two were at it again, this time to tell the story of Robin Hood. Despite years of saturation from the famous man in green tights, this was a different tale all together that is not the tale you think you’ve seen. But where shall I start? Maybe I’ll take a cue from the movie and start…at the beginning. Now as per a recent trend in Hollywood, prequels…

Off the Shelf…’RocknRolla’
Our friend Ruth at FlixChatter recently did a post about the opening sequence to Rocknrolla and after reading it, I thought “man I want to watch that again!”. Also, I just love that intro song by Black Strobe…to me, that whole bit just works. I really enjoyed RocknRolla in the theater and it is such a treat on DVD/Blu-Ray. Sure it’s not quite Snatch part II that fans were expecting, but I think it turned out well. All I can say about this film is that “Guy is back!!”…and now that Madonna is gone, I think we’ll be getting more quality Ritchie films in the near future. RocknRolla was one very…

G-S-T Review…Kick-Ass
Not being very familiar with Kick-Ass, I was excited because of how the trailers looked and felt, but more importantly, the fact that this is directed by long time Guy Ritchie collaborator, Matthew Vaughn. So, knowing little to nothing about the “source material” I walked into the theater hoping for a ride as sweet as Red Mist‘s Mustang. In short, the movie didn’t live up to the trailers but was still an enjoyable time. PREMISE: Without any super powers to be found (or injected by radio-active insects) Dave Lizewski, after reading a few too many comic books, decides to become a real life superhero. Taking a fair amounts of knocks in his newfound profession…

Sweet Trailer…’Robin Hood’
Well the day has come dear friends…the final trailer for Sir Ridley Scott’s upcoming Robin Hood. The trailer just before Christmas was good, the Super Bowl spots (although short) were better but now we have the best trailer yet…well, one would hope because it is the last before it hits theaters on May 14, 2010. Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott team up again for what can only be described as “pure awesomeness”. In this version of the classic and legendary tale, Robin’s life is depicted from his early days in King Richard’s army. It further tells continues his story as he returns to Nottingham and creates the band of mercenaries who…

Off the Netflix Queue…'Babylon A.D.'
Boy it’s been a while since I’ve seen Vin Diesel in anything worth mentioning. To me, Boiler Room was his very best work. Why do you ask?? Because the movie wasn’t centered around him, that’s why. I may be alone in thinking this but he doesn’t have the chops to carry a film all by himself, and so he makes more of an impression when playing a bit part or part of, and I use the phrase loosely, an ensemble…i.e. Saving Private Ryan and Boiler Room. Admittedly I liked Pitch Black but that was a bit of an anomaly. In short, Babylon A.D. was yet another lack luster Vin Diesel vehicle that didn’t play…

Final ‘Kick Ass’ Poster Released
While this movie is quickly becoming my most anticipated film to see in 2010 (right behind The Expendables and Robin Hood), this FINAL poster for Kick-Ass is icing on the cake. This was released a few days ago and if I wasn’t already sold on the film, this would totally convince me to see it. If you don’t already know everything about the film, let me enlighten you: Kick-Ass , the film adaptation from the comic book of the same name) is written and directed by Matthew Vaughn (of the awesome Layer Cake). The films follows the story of a boy without super powers attempting to become a super-hero. Lionsgate is…

Sweet Trailer…'Kick-Ass'
Oh now this is good news to start the week off!! The 2nd Kick-Ass trailer debuted on Friday and all I have to say is that I may have another film now running neck and neck with The Expendables and Robin Hood for most anticipated film of 2010. I think everyone, by now, should already be aware of and excited for this movie so I won’t take up any more time writing about it. For now, feast on this… I like that this trailer (and the others released before now) shows new and different footage, as most trailers out there show the same content with very minor variation…oh, and this one…

Sweet Trailers…'Daybreakers' and 'Kick-Ass'
Well I know I am a little late in posting these but I thought I would make up for my tardiness with a perfect “one-two punch” of what looks like trailer gold. Previously we had posted the first Daybreakers trailer, but this new one looks like icing on top of icing on an already sweet cake. Please trailer gods, don’t tease me like this. I truly hope this film will be as good as they make it look. The last (supposed) vampire hunting extravaganza I can recall was Blade: Trinity (which was an awful, awful mess) so here’s hoping Daybreakers brings this fun incubus sub-genre back to form with 2 words: Willem.…
