Quickie: Buried movie poster

UPDATE: This is the all new, teaser trailer, Enjoy:

Killer poster for the movie, Buried. The movie stars Ryan Reynolds and will mostly take place in a coffin buried beneath the earth. I'm not kidding. Remember Phone Booth starring Colin Farrell? Same concept in that a lot of the movie will be recorded in one setting. Can't wait for this movie! Here's the trailer again if you missed it the first time we posted it.

Clash of the Titans Blu-Ray coming with a Green Lantern First-Look special feature

July 21... don't all of you go rushing to your local Best Buy at once. After the dismal 3D version shown in theaters, I bet Warner Brothers is looking forward to the 2D Blu-Ray release. And with that gem of a movie we're going to get a cool little extra; a Green Lantern first-look special feature. This will come just a few days before the San Diego Comic-Com which I'm sure Warner Brothers is going to debut a trailer, at the very least.

For us comic book nerds, this is a big deal, so I'm very excited, but the problem is I'll actually have to spend money on Clash of the Titans. Darn you Warner Brothers! Just kidding Warner Brothers, and if you have any job openings please let me know. Haha.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... Thor!!!

This is somewhat "old news" (it was released yesterday); but I need to share it with as many people as possible! This is the first look at Chris Hemsworth as the mighty Thor. Thor is not due out for another year, but Marvel has just released the first photo. The movie is directed by Kenneth Branagh and has been under tight wraps for the past few months.

I have a confession to make. I was SO skeptical that Marvel and Branagh could pull it off. Now, I know that it's way too early to tell, but this-looks-awesome! I can only hope that the rest of the production will follow the style of this costume.

We're excited about it, what do you guys think? Leave comments below. I know we get a lot of hits everyday (I can see the stats). But leave comments so we can see what our readers think.

Batman 3 release date announced, G.I. Joe sequel coming as well... 2012 is going to be a good year!

UPDATE: Ice Age 4 (Ice Age: Continental Drift) will also be released in 2012 (July 13th). That's all you get for this stupid, unneccessary sequel.

Warner Brothers has announced the release date for the next installment of the Christopher Nolan Batman franchise. July 20th, 2012 I will standing in a very long line to see this movie. I will not be blogging, I will not be texting or talking on the phone; I will be immersed in the film that I would have waited 4 years for! God I can't wait!

Batman is not the only big budget movie that summer, nor is it the only big budget comic book movie that summer. UNofficially, a sequel to G.I. Joe has been announced as well. MTV Movie Blog interviewed the producer, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, and he told them the sequel could film as early as the Spring of 2011 for a Summer of 2012.

Not a bad list of summer 2012 films so far huh?

Batman 3
The Amazing Spider-Man
The Avengers
G.I. Joe 2

Quickie: Jonah Hex trailer is finally online!

Let me keep it up to you to judge... what do you think about this? I haven't decided what I think yet.

Quickie: New Inception movie poster

Not really anything revealing, just a cool poster from Christopher Nolan's Inception. Don't tell anyone, but I'm actually avoiding reading too much about the film. I like that I have no idea what I'm in for. All I know is it's about dreams, and that's ok. FattMatt taught me this little trick when The Bourne Ultimatum came out a few years ago. He REFUSED to see a single trailer for the film as not to spoil his movie-going experience. I like that. Now, I'm not that much of a purest (we have a movie blog after all); but I can appreciate not spoiling a surprise like Inception.
 

Tony: Kick-Ass review

Sorry for the delay everyone, but I've been a bit busy with the family business to be online blogging. So here it is, the Return of the King... my review of the comic-book film, Kick-Ass.

I know at this point I'm being redundant but, our blog is more about opinion than plot. Let's get right into what I liked and didn't like about the movie... let me give you a heads up, my likes far outweigh my dislikes!

What I liked:
The Concept/Story
The story is simple, but enticing. It tells the story of a kid who chooses to dress up as a superhero and fight crime against a Mob boss. Craziness ensues when the superhero (Kick-Ass) is joined by Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) and Hit Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz). Like I said, the story is simple, very funny, and kept the audience engaged for the entire movie. I loved the pace of the film. It only slowed down to build up the characters, which is great. The rest of the time the movie moved forward very well. 

The Characters
Ho-ly moly! Hit Girl is one of the best, most bad ass characters in the history of cinema, and she's only 11 years old!!! That's right, Chloë Grace Moretz is only 11 years old calling people names that I'VE never used before. Nicolas Cage is awesome in this movie! He has to be tough, weird, a little creepy, but loving to his daughter, amazing job. Finally a movie OTHER than National Treasure where he does well. There is a scene between Cage and Moretz that is one I will never forget, just a hint... it involves him training her using a gun! I wont say anything else because it will give away the hilarity of the situation.

Now when it comes to Kick-Ass himself, great casting and a great job by Aaron Johnson. The rest of the cast is rounded out with some great performances... the mob boss played by Mark Strong, Red Mist played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Kick-Ass's real world friends played by Clark Duke and Evan Peters.

The Action
The action is great. The violence is over the top, but I think it has to be. You're trying to make us believe an 11 year old can kill 30 guys in a run down the hall, why not be over the top? Guns, check. Knives, check. Swords, check. There is nothing missing from the action in this film. Pay attention to an action scene that involves Nicolas Cage that feels like one long cut up and down a two story building, just fantastic!

What I didn't like:
Screen Time
Not really a complaint so much as wishing. I wish Nicolas Cage was in the movie more! Yeah, I never thought I'd say that either! Cage is so good as this character! I know this section is about what I didn't like, but I really really liked the movie. There's nothing else I could think of!

Go see this movie! And be ready for a ride. You'll laugh, you'll cheer and you'll clap your way through the movie. It's the most fun I've had at a movie since Iron Man two years ago; I mean it!
