Video: Here Comes The Boom - Trailer

nospam@example.com (Peter) — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 12:41:49 -0700

Kevin James has been a fan of MMA for years so it's only natural that he throws an MMA theme into one of his comedies. With UFC stars both past and present like Bas Rutten, Jason "Mayhem" Miller and others, I'll definitely be seeing it.

It's pretty amazing that so many iconic lines were the result of talented actors improvising their dialogue. This is a well produced video that's worth watching all of it.

So many of us grew up watching "Willie Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" and being both terrified and delighted with this oddball movie. Some of the cast reunited on the Today show. Watch the video to hear some of their memories and what they look like now.

Video: Ninja Assasin Trailer

nospam@example.com (Peter) — Thu, 06 May 2010 00:32:47 -0700

If you're a fan of old-school Ninja and Kung-Fu movies you'll probably love this movie as much as I did. The premise is that ninjas still exist and are orphans trained from youth. One defects from the clan and the hunt is on. Violent, great stunts, larger than life effects and the most fun I've had watching an action movie in ages. Rent it now!

Video: Human Centipede - Great Horror or just Mindless Shlock?

nospam@example.com (Peter) — Sat, 01 May 2010 14:47:11 -0700

This trailer for Human Centipede is making a lot of news but is this a good horror movie or just a feeble attempt to outdo shock movies like Saw? I guess we'll have to wait and see...

Rocky VII in the Works?

nospam@example.com (Peter) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 20:32:36 -0700

How many of you saw Rocky VI, properly named "Rocky Balboa"? Probably not many. I did. Clearly the first Rocky was the best but I love this franchise. For those of you who don't love the series, you're probably remembering the first movie wrong. Go watch it again and I promise you'll see it in a totally different way. It's a darker, sadder movie than most remember it being but in a beautiful way.

So why do a sequel? I would've been happy if he stopped after the third movie but as long as Stallone wants to continue, I'll be buying a ticket. In a recent interview Stallone had this funny but telling quote: "Even my wife says, Dont do it. Youre embarrassing the kids. But I told her, If I dont try Ill be a really unhappy man. You have to do it. Artists like me have to go through the dark over and over again."

Oh yeah, there's also a new Rambo sequel in the works but I'm not a fan of that series.

The New A-Team Revealed

nospam@example.com (Peter) — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 09:11:58 -0700

Here's a picture of the cast of the new A-Team movie. I'm not exactly a fan of the TV show but I find this fascinating.

The Cast:

Liam Neeson as Col. John 'Hannibal' Smith - how can you go wrong with one of the best actors out there but I guess Liam's in this one for the paycheck because as good as he is, I'm sure he doesn't get paid as much as he deserves.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson as Sgt. Bosco 'B.A.' Baracus - Quinton is pretty much throwing away his MMA career by walking out on his UFC contract to try his hand at acting. I hope he got paid well because he'll have a long layoff before he fights again and with newer, younger, faster and stronger competition coming up every day, his pro career days are numbered.
Bradley Cooper as Lt. Templeton 'Faceman' Peck - I like Cooper but I never thought of him as the "pretty boy" that the original character played by Dirk Benedict.
Sharlto Copley as Capt. 'Howling Mad' Murdock - Sharlto is almost as much as a questionable casting choice as Rampage because the only thing he's done that people might know is the awesome District 9. I wonder if he worked on getting rid of his accent?

I'll be curious to hear how things went on set and if this cast works well together but as for seeing the movie we'll have to wait until at least Summer of 2010.

Blockbuster Video Going Under?

nospam@example.com (Peter) — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 09:08:13 -0700

This is not a good time for businesses. There are so many small businesses around my area that have closed up shop but let's face it, it's only a matter of time before Blockbuster and other small video stores go the way of the dinosaur. With the internet, DVRs and other technology, only the really poor hold onto dvd rentals. Will old DVD and VHS rentals be forever delegated to the public library? Probably.

Reuters is reporting that Blockbuster will have to scale back operations and that they owe millions in debt. Too bad they didn't start the online DVD and video rental earlier. (source - Reuters)
