Skyfall (Movie Trailer)

I was underwhelmed by the recently released ‘Dark Knight Rises’ film that hit theaters, but I’m hoping actor Daniel Craig starring as James Bond in the upcoming ‘Skyfall’ film doesn’t disappoint me. I think Daniel Craig makes a great ‘James Bond’ & I’ve enjoyed the last couple of films where he took on the starring role. Expecting nothing less than great action, superb visual effects, & an intelligent storyline with this ‘Skyfall’ flick.

“The official international trailer for James Bond “Skyfall”. Daniel Craig is back as Ian Fleming’s James Bond 007 in Skyfall, the 23rd adventure in the longest-running film franchise of all time. In Skyfall, Bond’s loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.”

Disney is pulling back the curtain on the origins of L. Frank Baum’s classic masterpiece The Wizard of Oz,” with the story of “Oz: The Great and Powerful.” After directing three Spider-Man films, Sam Raimi has turned his attention to this fantastical story of a small-town magician (played by James Franco) who is hurled by a tornado into the Land of Oz where he has a chance to be shaped into the great and powerful wizard he always aspired to be. Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams, and indie golden boy Zach Braff also star. The film is currently slated for a global release in spring of 2013. - Zach Pina, Hypebeast.com

The Amazing Spider-Man (Trailer)

I enjoyed the previous Spider Man films starring Tobey Maguire that hit the big screen a few years back so when I initially heard that filmmakers were going to redo the series in theaters so soon I sort of groaned aloud thinking it’s probably gonna be wack. I’m having a change of heart watching these previews for “The Amazing Spider-Man” because it feels like the creators are simply revisiting the formula that was used to reboot DC Comic’s Batman films. The initial Batman films were very “comicbook-like” in nature while the most recent ones like “Batman Begins” & “The Dark Knight” have been darker & more adult in it’s approach. I believe that’s the plan for The Amazing Spider-Man when it hits theaters this summer….

The Dark Knight Rises (Trailer)

It’s gonna be a great summer of blockbuster movies with “The Dark Knight Rises” opening July 20th amongst a whole host of other highly anticipated superhero & action films we’re all looking forward to seeing. With this reportedly the last & final part in the Batman trilogy it’s expected that director Christopher Nolan will pull out all the stops with actor Christian Bale reprising his role as Bruce Wayne & the caped crusader.

Total Recall (Movie Trailer)

Here comes the remake to the popular 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger film “Total Recall” but for the 2012 reboot its starring Colin Farrell & may have a few plot changes…….

The Amazing Spider-Man (Trailer)

I was rather dismissive of this upcoming flick when I first saw the initial press photos that were released from the film, but this new official trailer for the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man movie looks rather promising. It appears the creators have decided to delve into a more darker & less light-hearted version of the Spider-Man franchise in this particular reboot. I’d say the approach is similar to how the earlier Batman movies & sequels were more ‘popcorn fare’, but the later ones starring Christian Bale were darker & more gangsta. I’m getting the same feeling after watching this trailer that’s the plan for the Amazing Spider-Man. Not sure about all the added CGI effects, but we’ll see come July 3rd…

The Avengers (Super Bowl Teaser)

Looking forward to Marvel’s upcoming Avengers movie due to hit theaters this summer. During Super Bowl XLVI on February 5th the official movie preview will air but here’s a short teaser they let loose via twitter…

Somali Pirate Movie: “Fishing Without Nets” (Video)

Check out this trailer to the short film that’s currently being screened at the Sundance Film Festival based on the lives of the pirates of Somalia. “Fishing Without Nets” has just won the Jury Prize in Short Filmmaking at the Sundance Film Festival & the timing of the film’s win couldn’t be any more coincindental with the recent news coming out of Washington. The U.S. Navy SEAL Team Six, that killed Osama Bin Laden, just successfully completed a successful rescue mission of a kidnapped American under the orders of President Barack Obama. The timing of this film directed by 25-year-old Cutter Hodierne couldn’t be better as the movie, unlike major news outlets reporting of these events, is coming based on the perspective of the Somali pirates themselves. From a production standpoint the director only wanted to shoot in East Africa for 3 weeks with his team, but their stint there grew into 5 months in which their own lives were at risk among other hardships.

Phonte Reviews ‘Red Tails’ For his ‘Movie In A Minute’ Series (Video)

I went to see the movie “Red Tails” because I believe it’s a very important film not just for African Americans, but for all Americans in knowing more about the history & sacrifices made by the Tuskeegee Airmen who the film is largely based upon. Phonte continues his “Movie In A Minute” film review for 2012 with his thoughts on Red Tails that hit theaters last friday January 20th. I agree with Phonte’s commentary 100% in this clip. His thoughts are exactly what I was thinking after catching the movie over the weekend. I purposely didn’t say anything on twitter, because I didn’t want to influence anyone NOT to see the film. I expected more, but still understood the importance of the film & for people to go & support it.

Steven Spielberg Says He Doesn’t Even “Think” About Retiring (Video)

It always cracks me up when I hear some rap artists & performers saying they are going to retire, but I’ve always felt that if you love to do something there is no such thing as “retiring” from it. When I hear an artist say they are going to retire I automatically assume that they just didn’t love what they were doing in the first place & were only out to collect a check. Steven Spielberg is considered to be one of the greatest filmmakers of all-time & at 65 he says that doesn’t even creep into his mindframe at any point.
