In Megamind, the title character, voiced by Will Ferrell, is an alien who was sent here by his parents to escape the destruction of his planet. His counterpart, Metro Man(voiced by Brad Pitt), was also sent to Earth by his parents to escape their dying planet. The only thing is Metro Man was found and adopted by a loving couple, and Megamind landed in a prison and was adopted by the inmates.
So, as they grow up together in Metro City, Megamind becomes Metro Man’s villain. In one of his dastardly plans Megamind kills Metro Man with a death ray using the sun’s energy. After the death of Metro Man Megamind does whatever he wants with the city, but soon grows bored and decides to create a new adversary using Metro Man’s DNA.
I recently played the Dragon Age 2 demo(maybe I’ll write more about that later), and this is the trailer that plays at the end. It makes it seem as epic as it most likely will be. Check it out below.
The Academy Awards air tonight, so I’m kind of forced to finish this now. Well, that and the fact that a couple days ago I finally saw all the films I wanted to see before I made this list. So, without further ado here are what I believe to be the best films of last year.
The Mechanic stars Jason Statham as Bishop, a ‘mechanic’ at the top of his game. See, in the world of the movie ‘mechanic’ actually means hitman, and they apparently get their jobs off of Craigslist. Bishop is very good at assassinating people and making it look like an accident, which they clue you in on within the first few minutes. After his boss convinces him that Bishop’s own mentor needs to be put down and he’s the best man for the job things get interesting. He kills his mentor(Donald Sutherland) and takes on his mentor’s drifter son, Steve McKenna(Ben Foster), as his apprentice. It’s then just a matter of time before Steve finds out the man who is now his mentor killed his father, and they both piss off the wrong people. It’s all very “circle of life”. But, is it worth your money?
This is a short clip from Duncan Jones upcoming film Source Code. In it it’s already assumed you know Jake Gyllenhaal is kind of mentally positioned into someone else’s body in order to solve a bombing case. Check it out below.
There’s a man returning from hell for something important to him, and then there’s a film about two men who get a week off of marriage.
