EAGLE EYE trailer: Like SAW, but with higher stakes. Wait, didn't SAW already have high stakes?

Okay now, watch it again and about 1:30 seconds into the trailer when they are running through the fields, tell me it doesn't remind you of SE7EN. "WHAT'S IN THE BOX ?!!"
So there's the trailer. Nice huh? I'm sorry, I really like Shia LeBeouf but I'm ready for him to show some range. He played a rebellious kid under house arrest. He played a rebellious kid housing giant transforming robots.He played a rebellious kid that goes spelunking alongside Indiana Jones. And now, well, he's the same only he plays a pre-adult. Still, looks intriguing. The film opens wide September 26th, the same day as Spike Lee's MIRACLE AT ST. ANNA.

Eliza Skinner: Internet/NYC funny girl... P.S. I want feel her up

So, I'm scanning Funny Or Die as I do from time to time and I came across Eliza Skinner. She only has 3 videos posted on Funny Or Die but that's no reason to get all in a huff, she has a large goody bag full of more enjoyable, laughable material on her blog site. Seriously, not only does she have entertaining material, but she's damn good at writing it, too. Whether she's talking about life-giving, vomit slugs (internal photographs of an ovary), or a list of what girl want (a list of what girls want), she's definitely a funny voice to hear out (not literally funny voice, it's just a metaphor for Eliza).
There are thousands of funny people out there and not enough of them receive the credit they deserve but I can only promote so much, the rest is up to you (you). Here is a video of Eliza's from Funny Or Die entitled, "Amy at the club." Hit the jump below to watch her others. Enjoy.

And in case you didn't catch it the first time, Eliza's blog, ElizaSkinner.net.

TAKEN finally gets a US trailer; in other news, Liam Neeson just bought you

There's this great Greek site that I visit from time to time which always seems to get certain movie trailer about three to four weeks before other US sites get word of them, and in this case, about two months ago. TAKEN stars Liam Neeson as a father to a teenager who gets kidnapped in Paris. Things turn bad (for the baddies) when Neeson comes after them to kick their asses because Neeson doubles as a badass, as well. TAKEN opens September 19th here in the states. Enjoy the trailer, it reminds me a little of A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, but will probably be better than VIOLENCE; sorry David Cronenberg, I still love you.

MUMMY: TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR trailer: Is MUMMY 3 what INDY 4 should've been?

So ya, I got an email this morning from Papa John's pizza demanding I watch the new trailer for MUMMY: TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR in delicious Quicktime HD. So I did. And it's good, well, just as good as the first trailer, more or less the same. But watching the trailer got me thinking. Watching it gave me the standard action movie, tomb raiding high I got when also watching the INDY 4 trailer, but, as we all know, that movie didn't quite delivery as to what we expected (but that's a whole separate argument for another time). SO I asked myself, "Would Universal and the producers of the first two films put out the same jumbled mumbo jumbo that was THE MUMMY RETURNS?" I don't think so. One problem I had with INDY 4 was that it just wasn't the adventure I was expecting from an INDY film. I was craving a traditional tomb raiding epic, but what we got was...well, come up with your own second-rate, half-way thought through, sci-fi production.
This film does look promising even though Rachel Weisz passed on the screenplay, though we can only wait for the product to roll into theaters nationwide on August 1st. Well, here's the new trailer. Enjoy.

BANGKOK DANGEROUS; Remember when Nick Cage made FACE OFF and it was my favorite movie for a while. Well, I was 10. It's time for him to grow up, too.

So here's a clip for BANGKOK DANGEROUS that's been surfing the intertubes and it looks...well it looks like any Chinese made action movie- quick edits and all. Good thing is that the Pang Brothers have done this one too who also did the original but Nick Cage's version is slightly different. Just watch the clip and make up your own mind.

ONG BAK 2 starring Tony "Elephant Walker" Jaa- meaning he walks on elephants, not he takes elephants on walks, that would be far less entertaining

Seriously, if you were a fan of the first ONG BAK, and even if you weren't, maybe you're just a fan of martial arts and muay thai, either way you have to watch the promo reel for the second film. The story isn't really related to the first film at all, except that Tony Jaa kicks many an ass in this movie too. What's really cool about this promo is that it's the first time I've seen him fight with weapons. I don't know if I like it but still, it's pretty badass. Check out the video below thanks to Twitch.

BURN AFTER viewing the new poster

I just want to point out that I should really be writing for JoBlo.com. I was just reading an article about the new BURN AFTER READING poster and no offense to Omar Aviles but he screwed up the premise of the movie. I know, right. Well anyhoo, there's a new poster for BURN AFTER READING and it reminds me of the old throwback posters of the 60's and 70's kind of like the poster for DR. STRANGELOVE and Hitchcock's VERTIGO. No more babbling, there's the poster.
