Tid-Bit News Tuesday!:

Annabelle (From 'The Conjuring' and has it own movie coming out) is the "new" Chucky according to multiple websites... This site does not condone such wild accusations.

"The Rover" Review:

"The Rover" is one of those films that remind me of everything I love about movies. I mean hell, I never really crank out a review this fast. But I digress.

The film is about; 10 years after a global economic collapse, a hardened loner (Pearce) pursues the men who stole his only possession, his car. Along the way, he captures one of the thieves' brother (Pattinson), and the duo form an uneasy bond during the dangerous journey.

The director (David Michod) is a master of his craft, providing us a very captivating story with a slow narrative. The visual composition really shock and impressed me a lot, along with the great moody and atmospheric soundtrack.

Guy Pearce plays the lead character extremely well. He deserves to be at least nominated for this performance. But the overall acing is top- notch, with Robert Pattinson giving a decent to good performance, basically doing his best to immerse himself into his character.

While "The Rover" may not be in line for everyone's favorite taste in films, I believe anyone who enjoyed films like "The Road" or "No Country For Old Men" will like this. And as for me, I think if you seen these type of films before and liked them and have seen the trailer (below) even, then I think you should Go See It, as soon as possible.

Now Watching:

"Let's Be Cops"


Synopsis:
"It's the ultimate buddy cop movie except for one thing: they're not cops. When two struggling pals dress as police officers for a costume party, they become neighborhood sensations. But when these newly-minted "heroes" get tangled in a real life web of mobsters and dirty detectives, they must put their fake badges on the line."

I am screening the movie now and will have a review up sometime later today. This one should be easy, I like buddy cop films and I love comedies. 

So till the next post...

Attention 'Ant-Man' fans and superhero fans!

USA Today got an EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK at Paul Rudd as Scott Lang in Marvel's 'Ant-Man': http://usat.ly/1oNNJx8

Even though Rudd isn't in the actual Ant-Man suit, it's still cool to see the pieces come into play. Since Marvel is extremely secretive anyway, I think this is a good starting point.

Take a look below!

Now Watching:

"Boyhood" 

Synopsis - Filmed over 12 years with the same cast, Richard Linklater's BOYHOOD is a groundbreaking story of growing up as seen through the eyes of a child named Mason (a breakthrough performance by Ellar Coltrane), who literally grows up on screen before our eyes. Starring Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette as Mason's parents and newcomer Lorelei Linklater as his sister Samantha, BOYHOOD charts the rocky terrain of childhood like no other film has before. Snapshots of adolescence from road trips and family dinners to birthdays and graduations and all the moments in between become transcendent, set to a soundtrack spanning the years from Coldplay's Yellow to Arcade Fire's Deep Blue. BOYHOOD is both a nostalgic time capsule of the recent past and an ode to growing up and parenting. Written by IFC Films

I will have a review up later today, well after analyzing this three hour flick. Haha.

"Don't Call It A Come Back"!

I decided to re-start the site. Film reviews and news when I can post them up as a sort of outlet. I watch multiple movies everyday and have thoughts on them, and they all get jumbled up. So I'm kinda doing this for fun and if anything better comes out of it down the line threw my views, so be it!

'RED STATE' Review!

As it has been said a bunch of times, RED STATE isn’t exactly a horror film, though Kevin Smith certainly thinks it is, he has argued strongly that the ideas he plays around with in it are truly scary . Unfortunately, that doesn’t change the fact that, it simply isn’t one. What he has made is a satire film. Pure, awesome satire. Way too often, people mistake parody, for satire and they forget that films like this totally qualify. RED STATE is Smith’s manifesto on what is wrong with this country, laying out his fears of how religious and political extremist's see the future of our society. It is not a nice film or is its ideas very pretty, but it isn’t horror. What it happens to be is good. Very good.

I totally understand the confusion. The opening act is almost identical to the movie HOSTEL, in which a group of teenage boys take a trip to a remote location to score some free ass. What they find instead is a nightmare that begins to take us into a familiar feel, of torture porn territory before turning wildly and becoming something else entirely. What it becomes is incredibly interesting, a insane, yet fun, look at old school, fire and brimstone story telling, fueled with far right wing extremism and fixated on preparing for the apocalypse.

What makes this such a effective satire is a combination of Smith’s writing and Michael Parks’ brilliant performance as preacher Abin Cooper. Smith doesn’t go ridiculously over the top with this, instead he crafts a recognizable background out of Old Testament scripture. The Bible is quite clear about how to deal with sinners and Cooper’s offshoot brand of “Christianity” is not as much about God loving as it is about God fearing. And Smith is allowed to make a strong point with that. It is a background so coherent that it actually makes more sense than the preaching of Fred Phelps, who Smith initially set this satirize on.

Parks tears it up as Cooper, giving an Oscar worthy performance that exceeds his beloved dual roles in KILL BILL. This is no wimpy parody of Phelps; Parks put himself in the waters of this role and never emerges to so much as make a joke. He is incredible, absolutely spot on, to the point that you can understand not only how his church could be taken in by it, but how others might get into it as well. And I see how Smith might mistake the scariness of that as horror. But it is not.

RED STATE neither looks nor feels like anything Smith has ever made before, which of course, I mean that in the best way possible. Everything about this technically is way above everything else he’s ever done. The cinematography totally captures the look and feel he’s aiming for, the acting is notches above every performance hes ever gotten out of an actor, and there isn’t a single moment of anything that feels like Smith-talk in the entirety of the film. If you were to remove Smith’s name from the credits, no one would remotely have a thought in they're mind that this was one of his films.  It is a extreme jump as an artist that shows - despite his recent films - he has maturated as a filmmaker, resulting that he is somebody with something to say and the talent to say it.

I, in no means find the film to be perfect, but Smith has said that he wants to take out 5-10 minutes that he assures us we won't miss. John Goodman gives the level of performance you’d expect out of one of his Coen Brothers roles (which means that it is totally inspired.) The film is a real charm. There really aren’t any good guys here, no real hero's to ride it out with. Smith’s purpose is to set up a very fucked up situation only to turn human nature loose to make it worse, while he makes a kickass series of twists and turns that continually manages to surprise time and time again.

So, the question most of you are probably asking is: is this worth a $10 online ticket via YouTube? If you have to even ask that question, then the answer is no. Smith has set up a deal where you may watch the film a month early (via YouTube for a $10 rental). If that sounds ridiculous, the film will be released in a number of theaters this October, see it then. It totally will be Worth It for the ticket price!

Trailer-Bomb! Sex, Sharks, and Little Blue People...

Today we have friends doing a little of the ol' "Jump on the good foot, and do the bad thing" (don't bother googling it), cheating dead ex-wives, salt water lake sharks (or shLarks, as I like to call them), and a 3D update of an animated franchise that no one wanted. Enjoy!

First up is 'Friends with Benefits' from director Will Gluck ('Easy A'). The film stars Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis as two friends, Dylan and Jamie, who decide to add sex to their friendship and quickly discover that being friends with benefits makes things a lot more complicated. If this plot sounds a little familiar, it's because it's nearly the exact same plot as the Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman film 'No Strings Attached' that was just released in theaters a couple months ago (a fact that Timberlake even spoke of during his recent appearance on SNL). Surely Hollywood would never allow a movie that seems like a complete rip-off of another movie to exist, right? We all know that Hollywood is a veritable bastion of original thinking and outside-the-box creative thinking! *cough..* Sarcasm aside, we'll just have to wait until 'Friends with Benefits' hits theaters on July 22nd to see how similar the two films really are.



Next up is the trailer for 'The Descendants', the latest film from Oscar-winner Alexander Payne ('Sideways' and 'About Schmidt'). Floating between dark humor and tragic drama, 'Descendants' stars George Clooney as Matt King, a less-than-perfect father who must care for his two daughters when his wife is seriously injured in a boating accident. While struggling to be the parent she was, he is suddenly confronted with her infidelity and is forced to re-think his past and embrace his future. The film will be in theaters December 16th.



Just a few days after the premiere of the first poster, Relativity Media has released the full trailer for 'Shark Night 3D'. Plans for a sexy summer weekend get ripped to shreds when a group of college co-eds are attacked by salt water lake sharks while enjoying their stay at a lake house. Director David R Ellis ('Snakes on a Plane') once again brings us a slightly tongue-in-cheek style horror film, full of genetic lottery winners trying to sleep with each other while simultaneously finding increasingly more incredulous reasons to go back into the water. The film stars Sara Paxton, Dustin Milligan, Chris Carmack, Joel David Moore, Chris Zylka and Katharine McPhee and will be in theaters September 2nd.



Oh, not this smurfing movie... what can I say? The latest childhood franchise to fall prey to a poor live-action-meets-3D remake, 'The Smurfs' will be in theaters July 29th and stars Neil Patrick Harris, Jayma Mays, Sofia Vergara, and Hank Azaria, as well as the voices of Anton Yelchin, Jonathan Winters, Katy Perry, Jeff Foxworthy, George Lopez... basically as many celebrities and mid-level actors and comedians as they could find to try and bring some kind of legitimacy to a project about little blue people running around New York City and commenting on as many pop culture references as they can while fleeing the evil wizard Gargamel. Thankfully, we don't even have to be snide about it and make a joke about how there will likely be singing and dancing - they just went ahead and put it right there in the trailer for us. Seriously, smurf this movie. Right in the smurfing B-Hole.



So... what do you think of this "Trailer-Bomb"? Which movies are you looking forward to and which to you hate? Let me know!!

First Trailer for 'Horrible Bosses'!

Warner Bros. has released the first trailer for 'Horrible Bosses', and Wow! The film stars Jason Bateman ('Arrested Development'), Jason Sudeikis ('SNL'), and  Charlie Day ('It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia') as Nick, Kurt and Dale - three hard working guys who are constantly bullied by their bosses; a smarmy Kevin Spacey, a balding Colin Farrell and a stalker type Jennifer Aniston (who can feel free to boss me around any time she'd like). After a few drinks and some questionable advice from an ex-con (Jamie Foxx), the three friends make a pact to kill off each others' bosses:



'Horrible Bosses' will be in theaters July 8th.
