Jupiter Ascending (Film Trailer)

Oh yeah! Written and directed by Andy & Lana Wachowski (mm hmm, “The Matrix”; that’s where you heard the name ‘Wachowski’)… In this story, humans are flung to the bottom of the pecking order of sentient existence. But the Queen of the Universe still needs to wipe out this one girl… because her very existence threatens to bring the Queen down. But this is way more than ‘Snow White in Space.’ Social commentary meets rock’em-and-sock’em. Classic Wachowski-style cinema.

Our world is a ‘small part of a very large industry’?

Well…damn.

Kids For Cash (Trailer)

Damn shame when we get proof corruption in the system like this. Pennsylvania judge Mark Ciavarella was convicted in 2011 on 12 counts of racketeering and fraud for accepting kickbacks in exchange for sentencing young people to a private, for-profit juvenile detention center… basically selling jailing “Kids for Cash.”; hence, the appropriateness of the documentary’s name. Watch the trailer above.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Trailer)

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 hits theaters this summer on May 2nd & although I’m interested in seeing the film I hope it doesn’t drown in too much CGI. I also noticed from this trailer a few hints that possibly one of the villains in the upcoming movie will be “The Rhino” which one of my personal favorite adversaries to Spider-Man.  From the glimpses I peeped from the trailer, it appears The Rhino could be a mechanized villain. I hope the creators don’t ruin The Rhino’s appearance in the film although actor Paul Giamatti is an excellent choice of talented actors rumored to be playing the role. Jamie Foxx stars as Spidey’s nemesis Electro in the upcoming film & there’s some sort of secret event about to go down in Times Square on New Years Eve according to the countdown timer on the ElectroArrives.com website.  The film directed by Marc Webb & starring Andrew Garfield returning as Spider-Man, finds Peter Parker picking up new clues as to why his parents left, rekindling his love for Gwen played by actress Emma Stone, & the return of his old pal Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan).   Things don’t get any easier when he’s also busy battling former foes & new bad guys.

Need For Speed (Trailer)

Two words: ACTION PACKED!

What makes for a great gaming title – “Need For Speed” – should go over to the silver screen with a smash if director Scott Waugh has anything to do with it. Staffed up with a killer cast (from Kid Cudi to Michael Keaton), look for this film to to big things when it hits theaters on March 14, 2014. That’s a while away; but this trailer can take your breath away right now!

RoboCop (2nd Movie Trailer)

The movie marketing campaign has hit overdrive. Heavy movie promotion clip weaponry includes a Samuel Jackson ‘robo-phobia soliloquy, action sequences, bang-bang-shoot-em-up footage, and sci-fi tech exploding [virtually] off the screen. Above: Check out the 2nd trailer for the RoboCop 2014 movie.

Interesting angle: There seems to be some controversy about the look of the Robo-suit… lots of folks weren’t feeling the black sort of ‘Batman-like’ uniform look. Wonder what the hero will look like on the big screen.

Elementary Genocide (Documentary Trailer)

“They’ve done studies…If you are illiterate in 3rd or 4th grade, then it’s very likely you will be in prison… You mean to tell me that people who decided on where to build a prison, how to build a prison, or when to build a prison didn’t look at the research? They had to look at something…of course!”

Supreme Understanding, Author/Activist

Executive produced by award winning journalist/filmmaker Rahiem Shabazz, “Elementary Genocide” addresses how the federal government allots money to each state to build prions based on the failure rate of 4th and 5th graders! In America, half of all 4th graders read below grade level, and more Black men are going to jail than are going to college. Compelling content, including interviews and voice-over narration from professors, teachers, best selling authors, celebrities, and more.

Actor ‘Ro Brooks’ Co-stars In Full-Length Toyota Avalon Ad with Idris Elba & In The Television Series ‘Sons Of Anarchy'(Video)

Last Saturday during my radio show our friend & actor “Ro Brooks” (The Wire, Sons Of Anarchy) made a surprise visit during our show.  He was in Atlanta filming a few top secret projects that at will be released in the near future. During the show he mentioned that he appears on the full-length version of the action-film influenced Toyota Avalon commercial with Idris Elba. I’ve seen the commercial on television, but didn’t actually see the full-length version of it until now.  He first appears around the 1:18 mark in this extended clip.

Ro Brooks also appears on the television series ‘Sons Of Anarchy’ as the character ‘Kettle’.  It’s a possibility his character ‘Kettle’ may get featured more on the show in future episodes.

Comedy: De Niro, Douglas, and Freeman To Star in “Last Vegas” (Trailer)

Director Jon Turteltaub probably had his hands full reigning in this A-List cast (each with a resume rife with silliness, as well as drama) for the comedy “Last Vegas.”  Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, and Kevin Kline are four old friends who decide to throw a Las Vegas bachelor party for the only one of them who has remained single. The film is slated to hit theaters next month. Looks good.
