Update: MAX PAYNE trailer shoots two guns at you while jumping through the air in super slo-mo !! And now, so do the photos
CHOKE on some of this red band trailer
CHOKE, one of the several Palahniuk books I haven't read yet. So far, I've completed FIGHT CLUB and HAUNTED both of which were fun reads but HAUNTED really didn't hold up for me in the end. Back to CHOKE again, a spankin' new red band trailer has been released for CHOKE and it basically shows as much uncensored footage as a red band trailer possibly can though scenes are still censored! This movie is going to be a riot, I can just feel it- not exactly the best word choice but it fits. The trailers have both shown very few scenes of actual choking, though and I'm not even going to cue you in on the plot if you don't already know. Check out the new red band trailer HERE and also check out the official site CHOKEonThis.net for all kinds of CHOKE goodies like photo galleries and cast info.
You think maybe I could replace one of your legs with an assault rifle? I'll tip ya...
I do too look like Captain Sparrow
It doesn't help that the meat was blessed by a Rabbi
This isn't so much a caption as it is me confessing my admiration and attraction to Kelly MacDonaldOUTLANDER trailer; before there were Cowboys and Aliens, there were Nordic Vikings and Aliens
I like Jim Caviezel. He seems like one of those "no nonsense" actors I'd group together with others like Christian Bale and Guy Pearce. Anyhoo, he's starring in a new film called, OUTLANDER. Don't get this confused with last year's PATHFINDER which or WALKER: TEXAS RANGER Season 4. This film will most likely not open as big as 300, maybe along the lines of 10,000 BC, but I can assure you it will be better than 10,000 BC, by far.
The story is of Kainan (Caviezel) whose space craft crash lands in Norway in 709 AD. A humongous space dragon also crash lands and Kainan basically work with the Vikings of the land to destroy the monster, Moorwen. I think the trailer look really cool though I always seem to like historical fiction, especially historical science fiction, especially medieval historical science fiction. Click HERE to watch the trailer for the most electrifying make believe Nordic tale of all time.

New Entertainment Weekly TWILIGHT cover makes me gurgle vomit
Entertainment Weekly has released their cover for the upcoming issue and it features a GreenHouseFilmReviews' novel/film favorite, TWILIGHT. Something to notice about this cover: it has some of the best and worst make-up jobs I have seen in a nationwide publication. Where as Kristin Stewart/ Bella Swan looks better than ever with her sharp make up and elegant dress, Robert Pattinson/ Edward Cullen looks like the somnambulist Cesare from DR. CALIGARI. It's the hair, the face, the body, just disturbing and creepy. I think I may even describe Edward as disgusting in this picture which is completely not what you want the promo shots for TWILIGHT to conjure in the minds of the target market.
Now, I decided to go ahead and tidy up the promo cover myself for Entertainment Weekly a little and bring out and improve on some of the better elements of the picture. You be the judge, better 1, or 2?

RAIN OF MADNESS mockumentary trailer
So you most likely already watched the new TROPIC THUNDER trailer below, well it seems that the TROPIC THUNDER rabbit hole goes deeper than we imagined (that's what she said). It seems the cast crew have also been creating a companion film to go alongside THUNDER, RAIN OF MADNESS. This is obviously in reference to and seemingly similar to the the documentary made about the making of Coppola's APOCALYPSE NOW, HEARTS OF DARKNESS. Much like the film itself, RAIN OF MADNESS seems to be just as hilarious and brings us more into the actual actors that play the characters that I'm sure we will all crave once we've watched TROPIC THUNDER. So go ahead and watch the trailer below for RAIN OF MADNESS.

WATCHMEN video blog #4: Dave Gibbons tours the set
Dave Gibbons. The artist has become one of the most celebrated comic book and graphic novel artist of the time and for good reason. In this 4th video blog from WATCHMEN, Gibbons takes us along with him to tour the highly detailed and retro set for the film. This particular video wasn't posted on the official site and I'm not sure why. UGO brings us this one though and it's definitely incredible. He speaks of how naturally they translated the colors on the page to the screen even though the colors are unnatural themselves. We also get our first few moving shots of Rorschach. Click on the link below to enjoy the full video. Also, catch up on the first three WATCHMEN videos HERE.

If I don't get some DARK KNIGHT soon, I'm going to stab myself in the face with a pencil !!
No need to panic, the TDK thirst has been quenched by these TV spots, foreign language television promos and Comic Con footage, at least for another day or so. I'm keeping the sharpener close by just for good measure, or would it be bad measure?

THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL trailer; previously titled SPEED 3: IF THIS EARTH GOES LESS THAN 50 MPH, IT WILL BLOW UP
1951. The Red Scare. The Cold War. These are just a few of the things the new remake does not have in common with the original. But still, being someone who really enjoyed the original, I think I may be one of the few who have been looking forward to this remake. I had a really great time with Spielberg's remake of THE WAR OF THE WORLD and had hope that this one would impress and deliver. I mean, I can imagine all of the social commentary that'll be present in this movie but I'm sure it'll be a bit less heavy-handed than THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW.
Keanu Reeves stars as Klaatu, an alien from another planet who arrives to Earth along with a super robot named Gort. Klaatu warns the people of Earth that if they do not maintain peace, Gort will have no choice but destroy the planet for his objective is to keep peace throughout the galaxy. I've never read the short story by Harry Bates, "Farewell to the Master," but there are reports and rumors that this remake may try and stay truer to the original short story than the 1951 film. I'm excited because although zombies, renegade biker gangs, a disease that blinds people, vampires, and an airborne virus can all destroy mankind, nothing beats an alien or an alien invasion. Enjoy the trailer. The film opens wide on December 12th along with the much anticipated TWILIGHT.
