They Made an Iron Man Movie?
On March - 8 - 2010
Last night was the television debut of a brand new Iron Man 2 trailer. Check it out below the cut. Just like in the first trailer the last 10 seconds are incredible.
The Double Zeroes – Fantastic Mr. Fox
On March - 5 - 2010
Another one where I haven’t read the book; maybe I need to read more. Fantastic Mr. Fox was number 3 on our list of The 10 Best Films of 2009 . It was my personal favorite film of 2009 (I would gladly watch it again over any of the films nominated for the Best Picture Oscar), and I am holding to the idea that it was only number 3 on our list because I was the only one to see it.
The Double Zeroes – No Country For Old Men
On March - 5 - 2010
First off I have to admit, I didn’t read the book this is based on. I’ve only read one Cormac McCarthy novel and that was The Road, before a movie was mentioned.
I’d have a very hard time saying No Country For Old Men is my favorite film by the Coen Brothers, but that’s because they made The Big Lebowski, so I guess I could comfortably say it’s my second favorite. It’s a great film that tells the stories of a man who stumbles across a drug deal gone bad and two million dollars and the hitman who hunts him for the money he found and took. There’s so many great moments in the film, it’d be hard to mention them, especially because I don’t want to spoil anything.
The Double Zeroes – Clerks 2
On March - 5 - 2010
All right, fine! I HAVE A CRUSH ON ROSARIO DAWSON. Let’s drop it and move on.
Today I’ll be giving you the facts on Clerks 2, which is as of right now the last in a long line of Kevin Smith’s View Askewniverse movies. It is quite the funny little gem that I deem important because it shows Smith getting back into how he mainly was when he first started out, which was having a deeper statement to make about relationships and growing up.
The Double Zeroes – Ying Xiong (Hero)
On March - 2 - 2010
The idea of someone presenting a film has always bothered me somewhat. Quentin Tarantino saw Hero and liked it, so he ‘presented’ it so other people could see it. He had nothing to do with the making of Hero in any way. Yimou Zhang is the man you have to thank for this beautiful film.
The Double Zeroes – Sin City
On March - 1 - 2010
This is going to be a new ’special’ March-only feature where for every day of the month we’re going to recommend a movie that we feel was one of the best of the last decade (2000-2009). So, this is essentially going to end up being a list of 31 of our favorite movies from that time period. Just so you know, they might not all be posted on their own day, so don’t be too worried if you think we missed a day. You’ll get your 31.
Sin City is a great movie. Instantly, one of the main draws about the film has to be the visual style. It was one of the first to be shot primarily on green-screen and has been heavily imitated since (I’m looking at you 300). It may not please people who don’t like segmented stories, but it deals with different books in Frank Miller’s graphic novel series, so give it a shot. Directed by Robert Rodriguez & Frank Miller, it lead to Robert Rodriguez’s separation from the Director’s Guild of America over disputes about crediting Frank Miller as co-director.
These Weapon Replicas are CRAZY
On February - 23 - 2010
New Zealand company Weta Ltd. semi-recently released two weapon replicas from Neill Blomkamp’s Oscar-nominated film District 9. The two weapons are the Arc Generator and the Gas Projector. I don’t really remember the Gas Projector too well from the film, but I’m pretty sure the Arc Generator is the one that just made people into ‘human sauce’. Kind of like Dr. Manhattan did in Watchmen. The Gas Projector is the above picture, the Arc Generator is below the cut.
Every Kid Should See Star Wars
On February - 23 - 2010
But, what if they haven’t? This video answers that question. I guess it’s pretty hard in this technological age to not know some or most of the plot of the original Star Wars trilogy. I give you Star Wars: Retold (By Someone Who Hasn’t Seen It)
Super Bowl XLIV – The Film Trailers
On February - 8 - 2010
Following the cut are all the film trailers that aired during the Super Bowl in the order that they aired. There’s also one game trailer, since it was the only one I decided to put it in with the films.
