Rise of the Planet of the Apes Trailer
Looks like the effects are great. We’ll have to see on the story. Apes are nowhere near as populous as humans, so I wonder how they could take over.
True Legend Trailer
I saw this movie in Mandarin. It’s got some amazing sequences. It’s also David Carradine’s last film. He’s in it at the end as a corrupt fight promoter.
Limitless Review
I saw this movie today and loved it. It’s an excellent thriller with a great idea. A drug that opens up a person’s brain to their full potential. When a down and out writer tries it it changes his life, but he soon becomes pursued by all kinds of dangerous people. Full of twists until the end with an ending that was not expected.
Some Things the Beatle’s Couldn’t Fix
Back when I was fresh out of high school a movie came out and lasted one week that had music by the Beatles, covered by top artists of the time that used footage from WWII and old movies to cover the war. Very strange and bad. It came and went so fast you had to blink to know it existed. Well, I found the trailer!
Three years later another abortion came out called Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band that also bombed. Produced by Roger Stigwood, it also had to acts from the 70s doing Beatles covers. The movie had the Beatle’s blessing even. It has to be seen to be believed, But Aerosmith did a great cover of Get Back at the end.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
Looking forward to this in May
London Boulevard
I just saw this film, which came out last year. It’s a terrific British crime movie about an ex-con who ends up working for a movie star as a body guard, but he has some ties to his past life that won’t let go. The great Ray Winstone is in it as a gangster. It also stars David Thewlis and Keira Knightly.
X-Men First Class Trailer (Russian)
Even though its in Russian, I like this trailer even better than the English version.
Super 8 Trailer
You can see Spielberg all over this even though he’s only producing it. There’s also a new Conan movie coming out this year.
Legend of the Fist
This looks all kind of awesome. I’ve been a Donny Yen fan since I first came across his work in the early 90s (Once Upon a Time in China II). He’s the best of the current martial arts stars from China. His new movie is a kind of martial arts superhero story set in 1925 occupied China. If you get a chance, check out is Ip Man movies which are available from Netflix.
Space Battleship Yamato Movie
On the heels of the big budget, live action Yamato movie of last year, it’s been announce that someone wants to make Star Blazers (the American version) as a live action Hollywood film.
Here’s the Japanese film which I haven’t seen as yet. And here’s a trailer for a CGI Captain Harlock movie coming out next year.
UPDATE: Replaced trailer with a subtitled one.
Thor Trailer
This new trailer is better. Not sure if the movie will be good. CGI is pretty heavy and not too convincing. But I’ll be looking for it and Captain America this year.
Atlas Shrugged Trailer
This looks a lot better than I expected. The movie is based on the famous book by Ayn Rand which demonstrates some of the principles of objectivism, a philosophy which is one of the major influences on pararealism. It’s all about the makers vs the takers.
