As every Tuesday, MTV will be bringing us TWILIGHT info (or rather TWI-fo? no? nevermind) and this week is no exception. Sorry, I would've had this up yesterday but I wasn't home for the most part. I also got a chance to watch SPEED RACER which I'll have a review up for as soon as I can.
Anyhoo, this week, MTV got a new exclusive poster featuring the immortal hunkster Edward, and the feeble yet cutesy Bella. Before I get to the poster itself though, I just want to give props to the photographer who got this gig shooting for the film, Joey Lawrence. I checked out his website which is all kinds of impressive and his portfolio speaks for him. I need to start taking my Nikon SLR out for a spin dammit. Check out a quick interview MTV did with him about his work for TWILIGHT.
Alright now, go ahead and hit the magic button below to snag an eyeful of the two damned lovers in the all new poster for TWILIGHT.
I actually love this poster compared to the first official, heavily photoshopped, group shot from last week. Simple and creatively explicable. So what do you guys think? Does this convey the essence of TWILIGHT?

A TWILIGHT teaser to calm your restless soul
Read below after the jump for my thoughts as a link to a video on Amazon.com where the author, Stepenie Meyer, briefly talks about her new novel, The Host.
So what was I supposed to feel while watching that teaser for TWILIGHT? I'm not sure but it was a mixture of anticipation, excitement, and a little bit of rage. Well, it's just that they seemed to be concentrating on the wrong thing (a deer being hunted? made it seem like a scene left out of APOCALYPTO). But wait, it did also have them in the forest, and Tyler's van almost hitting Bella, and the two in the Cullen mansion but something just felt odd or missing. I'm probably just over-analyzing but there must be more of you out there that feel the same. Enough of the bad, I'm happy, happy that there's a teaser this early. Watching those MTV behind-the-scenes clips amped me up a little and I'm sure the first trailer will put me at ease whenever they release it come September or so.
For now, let's just enjoy the tidbit they've provided us and wait for book IV, Breaking Dawn, to be released August 2, 2008AD.
And here also is the link to Amazon.com. Go watch sweet Ms. Meyer.
It's simple, kill the Batman
It's the moment you've all been waiting for. No, Michael Jackson isn't starring in the new PACMAN movie. It's the new DARK KNIGHT trailer. We've been waiting a long time for this, I've been waiting a long time for this. I would've had this up earlier when the news broke, but I was doing classwork until about 12 minutes ago. So yay for being done with schoolwork, and yay for The Joker, Harvey Dent/Two-Face, high pitched laughing, calling cards with no number, mid-air semi-trucks, skin-eating chemicals and one badass Bat. So, without further ado...hit the play button and enjoy a trailer I wish I'd had my first kiss to.
I wanted to post this before I posted the trailer above but I didn't want any distractions. Anyhoo, as just a reminder, watch this before you watch THE DARK KNIGHT.
Is it just me or...do you want one of those masks that the Joker hooligans wear?

Zooey Deschanel is totally HAPPENING ! I had to say it sometime
The week of June 12th is already going to be one of the best weeks of the year because of Metal Gear Solid 4's release. Not only that, but on June 13th, THE HAPPENING is released. I am atingle with excitement. And to add further to that sensation, is a new trailer. I believe UNBREAKABLE to be Shyamalan's opus, but he gets better, technically, as his films progress. I am definitely anticipating how he'll woo us this time with his film-making.
Are we killing some people today?
Well, remember a couple hours ago when I wasn't too impressed with the new photo released by Summit Entertainment for TWILIGHT? Well, things have been rectified. I just found a few MTV exclusive clips on the set of TWILIGHT that impressed me, very much. My slight detachment of vigor has returned for the film. Again, stay tuned for more on TWILIGHT out December 12th, 2008AD.
Breaking News: TWILIGHT stars fall into vat of wax
Please do not be alarmed for that headline is not true. Well, it is, but not completely. Let's just blame it on poor, poor, poor photoshop artists. Anyhoo, the folks at Cinematical received an exclusive official character poster for TWILIGHT. This coming from someone who is very much looking forward to its release, for some reason I'm not sure if the pic made me more excited for the film. See for yourself and click below for the first official ensemble photo for TWILIGHT.
And here it is in all its glory and photoshop edits. Seriously, yes it looks awesome and I'm happy with the cast choices (I have to be), but at the same time, did they have to make it look like a rejected photograph from the cutting room floors of Vanity Fair?
And also take a look at this. They're old test shot of the family sans Bella (Kristen Stewart). Click on the pics for larger versions.
Better or worse than the official one? Still, I'm excited for TWILIGHT which comes out December 12th of this year.
Oh and one last thing. It's a pic of James played by Cam Gigandet. 
Now that I have absolutely no problem with. Keep your eyes open for more here at GreenHouseFilmReviews.
HANCOCKian mischief
I'm really not sure what it is, or rather was, about HANCOCK that made me want to pee on the poster if I ever saw it, but the film just didn't interest me, at all. I began putting things together. Will Smith couldn't follow up a success like I AM LEGEND with some crap, or could he? Having not read the script, the only plot details I knew were the plot details that everyone knew. Man with superpowers is actually an ass but then has to get himself on the ball and straighten up. Peter Berg(THE KINGDOM, COLLATERAL) directed it, which was one of the only things I was excited about; that and Jason Bateman. But with a new trailer out now, I can breathe a little easier. Make up your own mind about it after watching the trailer below. Then hit the jump at the end to watch a condensed version with only the new action scenes for ADHD viewers.
Is it just me or...should Jason Bateman play a superhero. You know how great that would be? Him or Will Arnett. Or both of them! Bateman could play Robin, and Arnett could play Edward Nigma/The Riddler.

SKY CRAWLERS / SUKAI KURORA
Having only seen several episodes of GHOST IN THE SHELL but not investing enough time in the anime to grasp the story, I'm still happy to get the recent new that Steven Speilberg's production company has bought rights to make a live-action version of the anime. Great news. But that's not what my posts about today. GHOST's directer, Mamoru Oshii's new feature is something I'm very much looking forward to. SKY CRAWLERS. Mid-air dog fights, great soundtrack, this is really going to be impressive. People have already seen the first fifteen minutes at a Tokyo exhibition and are already praising the stunning work. Unfortunately, the only full trailer so far is on YouTube. View the full trailer below but stay tuned for an official version with better resolution. Thanks to TwitchFilm.net for the story. The film is set to release August 2nd in Japan.

Superman wants you to love him, and only him
So finally, Superman does what we wished he would've done to Lois Lane in the last movie. What am I talking about? Brandon Routh, the fella who played Clark Kent himself in SUPERMAN RETURNS trades in his spandex and underwear for no clothes at all in a new inde-ish flick LIE TO ME. The film is basically about a couple who decides to become swingers but eventually find themselves falling in love with other people. Superman can have that affect. Anyhoo, I love provocative films and although it seems like a strange next movie for Routh, I say whatever. I'm not the actor, he is. He could do EIGHT LEGGED FREAKS 2: DOUBLE THE LEGS; 16 LEGS, AHHH!!! for all I care. Check out the trailer for LIE TO ME below after the jump. The film premieres at the Newport Beach Film Festival on April 26th.
Is it just me or...does it seem like Brandon Routh isn't that good of an actor? Wait, didn't I like SUPERMAN RETURNS? I thought I did. What's going on ?!
