MIRACLE AT ST. ANNA trailer
.jpg)
I had the pleasure of hearing Spike Lee speak at USF a couple of months ago and it was incredibly inspiring. He spoke of his youth, his education, his pains and tribulations, his breaking in, his fallings apart, his struggle through the system, and he spoke of his how every one of us has it in them to excel and become someone. Truly inspiring. Watching the films in Lee's filmography, it's so interesting to see where he has started and where he has gone but all the while keeping his uniqueness present throughout. MIRACLE AT ST. ANNA looks very promising. I can see why Lee would choose this project but watching this trailer, it seems like a step in a very different direction for Spike Lee. Not that someone of his place can't do a story like this, absolutely not. No, watching this trailer, the direction and photography seems completely foreign to me from what I would normally expect from a Spike Lee Joint. His recent films, INSIDE MAN in particular, showed off many new technical feats in my opinion. Just the swooping of certain shots, the editing from cut to cut and scene to scene, not only was the story enveloping, it was amazingly fun to watch. Here, MIRACLE shows off so much more. Certain scenes give off the ATONEMENT vibe as well as certain CHILDREN OF MEN crane shots. A Spike Lee cast give it a great ring to which he has also added Joseph Gordon Levitt who is on my "Top 10 under 30" list. Honestly, the opinion is for you to form, so just enjoy the trailer for now.

THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON trailer
If you saw INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL, then you most likely also saw a strange trailer beforehand staring Brad Pitt and some Tim Burton-esque music. For a while the only version of that trailer out on the internet was a bad bootleg Spanish version of the trailer but now, it's finally online, and it's...oh so curious. Directed by the never-disappointing David Fincher about a man, Benjamin Button (Pitt), who is born in the 1920's in his eighties and ages backwards throughout the years. The film also stars my Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton and also Taraji P. Henson. The film will brighten out Holiday this year when it is released just before Christmas. So here, let the curiosity begin.
METAL GEAR Retrospective Part 5
Today is a big day for me. Why? Because I just picked up my copy of METAL GEAR SOLID 4. Most of you will not share in my excitement but that okay; I'm probably excited enough for all of the eastern sea board. But that's not all, as we've been covering GameTrailers.com's look back at all things METAL GEAR, today they bring us Part 5 of their Retrospective. This particular video dusts off the old GameBoy color and other portable units like the PSP and breaks down the stories of the lesser known hand-held efforts.

Vin Diesel is the last action hero in BABYLON A.D.
Vin Diesel, yes, the guy from THE PACIFIER, is finally trying to break out of his children's PG movie mold by, get this- playing a ex-veteran mercenary who takes a dangerous job in which he must escort a gorgeous young woman from Mother Russia to Father China in a futuristic BLADE RUNNER-esque world. Strangely enough, the woman is special. No, she isn't the only pregnant female in a infertile population, she is actually host to an organism that a cult direly wants to produce it's own genetically engineered version of the Messiah. Wicked. So ya, the trailer is actually really fun and impressive and looks to be a great watch. Directed by Mathieu Kassovitz, who I believe was in Spielberg's MUNICH, also directed the only film that has made Penelope Cruz look unattractive, GOTHIKA.
But this, BABYLON A.D. does look very...exciting. The trailer looks like a futuristic version of THE TRANSPORTER complete with bald headed protagonist, mixed with a CHILDREN OF MEN-ish plotline with REQUIEM FOR A DREAM soundtrack, yes it does look intense indeed. Don't take my word for it though, here's the trailer from IGN. Baw się dobrze.
American WANTED red band
Nothing new here. Refer to the Russian red band trailer which is still a bit more exciting but at least in the American one here, Morgan Freeman drops the F-bomb.
Still, give it a watch and anticipate WANTED which opens June 27th.

It's a WATCHMEN extravaganza !!
So, WatchmenMovie.com has been posting set visits and behind-the-scenes chronicles from WATCHMEN over the past few months since it went into production. WATCHMEN was originally a graphic novel written by the amazing Allan Moore and illustrated by equally amazing Dave Gibbons. I first read part of the graphic novel when I was younger, about 6 years ago, and was completely lost. When I finally revisited it about 3 years ago, I was blown away. There is a reason why the film has been through so many directors and writers. WATCHMEN is just...so much bigger than everything else. There are not many storylines and plots that I keep in my personal pantheon, but this is definitely up there. Head over to that official site and read a synopsis before heading to Barnes & Noble or Borders, or Amazon and to buy this because it's absolutely worth it.
Oh right, the post. Ok so, Zack Snyder, the man/director making the film adaptation a reality, has been doing his best to update the site with little tidbits from the set and that includes short Video Journals which will lead up to the film's release on March 6th, 2009. I bring you today, part 3 of the 12 part series which is respectively titled, "Stunts." Very cool stuff, very cool stuff indeed. Continue reading below for the first two entries in the Video Journal series as well as character photos and other photos. It's a WATCHMEN extravaganza. Enjoy.WATCHMEN Video Journal 1: SetsWATCHMEN Video Journal 2: Costumes

DONKEY PUNCH: Lesser known brother of Rhino Jab
I remember seeing the poster for this film (see Figure 1a) almost a year ago I believe. I just recently saw the trailer for it and just thought others might enjoy, or not. DONKEY PUNCH finally opens wide in the UK July 18th, which would be completely disastrous if THE DARK KNIGHT also opened in the UK that day. The trailer is reminiscent of films like the Oscar-worthy I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER and looks like a mash-up of SPEED 2:CRUISE CONTROL and THE HILLS HAVE EYES. Still, it looks fun and it's something I'll want to watch when it's out on DVD. Check out the trailer below and remember that "You don't have to do drugs to be dope."
VALKYRIE trailer
I really didn't want the title for this to be anything quirky because in truth, I have been very much looking forward to Bryan Singer's SUPERMAN RETURNS follow-up film, VALKYRIE. I've been out of town for a couple days and I'm back with an all new trailer for the film about the planned assassination of the leader of the Third Reich, dictator, and the man responsible for the death of over 40 million people, Adolf Hitler. Although Operation Valkyrie was a failure, Singer's film looks to be as much a dramatic performance capture as history lesson.
Say what you will about Tom Cruise, but when it comes to on-screen delivery, the man is among the best. The film includes an amazing cast with actors Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy, Christian Berkel, David Schofield, Terrence Stamp, Eddie Izzard and many more. After And here, is the trailer for VALKYRIE. The film opens June 27th. Genießen
