Nimoy says, "Live Long & Prosper!"

Although William Shatner was chomping at the bit to be apart of JJ Abrams newest reboot of Star Trek, he wasn't and his old pal Leonard Nimoy instead made the logical decision to put on the Vulcan ears one more time. Trekkers have been wondering just how the original Spock would be unveiled in the newest film and it appears they didn't have to wait too long! Another trailer has been released that is the same as the last trailer, but with a different...

The Avengers...Going to Suck!?!

Robert Downey Jr is a phenominal actor and has perfectly filled the role of Tony Stark. The future of Iron Man is safe with RDJ in the lead (it helps to have Jon Favreau directing too). Robert Downey Jr will be stepping back into the Iron Man suit next year after he finishes filming for Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes, but after that RDJ is slated to suit up once more for Marvel's team film, The Avengers. RDJ, who is hotter than grandma's biscuits...

The Wrestler Trailer & One-Sheet!!

Darren Aronfsky's newest film starring Mickey Rourke, "The Wrestler" has been recieving a large amount of buzz since doing the festival circuit. It appears that all of the positive buzz is very warranted. If a trailer is anything to gage a movie on, The Wrestler looks absolutely amazing! Being a child of the 80s I grew up loving the WWF Superstars and this film appeals to my inner kid. The Wrestling Circle is a tough road and so has been Rourke's...

Stop All the Damn Foreign Remakes!!

Why must Hollywood insist on taking amazing foreign cinema and destroying it? There are countless examples of studios taking film from around the world or right here in the USA and deciding to remake it. Simply it rarely ever works, but needless to say Hollywood continues to try us with good cinema turned bad.Recently 3 remakes were announced and none of them are all that easy to stomach. First up is the insanely timeless Swedish vampire tale, "Let...

Moon One-Sheet!!

"Moon" is Duncan Jones newest film that stars Sam Rockwell and looks to be absolutely brillaint. The images that have been released and the synopsis combined have me chomping at the bit to see this film, then you add the fact that Sam Rockwell is the lead! Sam Rockwell is a cut above the rest, when it comes to acting and to have him starring in a throwback scifi film is a real treat. I can't be anymore specific about how good Moon looks. To add...

Could This Be Burton's Mad Hatter?

A peculiar image was released or leaked this week of said Johnny Depp dressed as Mad Hatter. I have the now infamous image for you, in wonder if this is actually the Tim Burton concept of Depp, what Depp will actually look like, or just what some superfan created at home? Everyone has thought that the film, especially the stuff of Alice inside of Wonderland would be shot in motion capture. So why is Depp dressed in full garb? Did Depp need to do...

Tatum as Captain America...Please God No!

Someone actually thought to ask Channing Tatum if he had ever thought about playing Captain America in the upcoming Marvel film that has just recently found itself a director. I will leave my utter disgust that someone actually asked Tatum further allowing the idea to fester and grow in the young actors mind for later, but Cinematical recently did and here's what he had to say."Captain America? Oh my God! Oddly enough, I just got given a book –...

Spock Beemed!!

With the Star Trek trailer now hitting the net, we've all seen it at least a couple times. What an amazing trailer! See what getting a Star Wars fan does for Star Trek! All of the imagery is outstanding, the action and starship sequences look oustanding and the cast looks incredible in their roles! One thing that jumped out at me after watching the trailer so many times, was how cool Spock being beemed in the trailer looked! So I thought I'd give...

Out of This World Star Trek Trailer

If you haven't had a chance to checkout the newest JJ Abrams Star Trek trailer, Apple has it exclusively but I got a decent version of the trailer for you here below! The trailer is insane, beyond fantastic, and looks to have amped up the scifi series to a point that may appeal way beyond the normal Trekker. I have always been a fan of Star Trek, but JJ Abrams has stepped up to the plate and really delivered an amazing cinema going experience. My...
