The movie of the year is not WOolverine nor is it Iron Man 2. It is One Eyed Monster. Never before have so many hunted after a monster so scary it will make your momma tremble.

I actually managed to sit through all three Lord of the Rings movies. All 27 hours of it. I kinda thought 3 movies told the story and was enough, but not for some. In a couple of years time we’ll be forced to endure all kinds of marketing trickery for The Hobbit, but before that arrives we can sit through The Hunt For Gollum. A movie made by fans for fans. In other words, pass me the jay and bottle of vodka.
Sasha Baron Cohen gave us Ali G and Borat and he’s about to give some more. In July his latest creation, Bruno, will hit movie screens across the globe. If the trailer is to be believed it promises to be another ride filled with embarrassments and awkward moments. Bring on July.
The X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie won’t be released until April 28th, but an early release has leaked onto the internets. A true fan will probably go watch it in a movie theatre or on Blu Ray, but casual watcher might not pass up this opportunity. That is why the takings will probably dissappoint.

After the success of the first Tranformers movie it didn’t take too long before the idea of a money making sequel came poking its ugly head around the corner. And here it is. Or at least the official teaser trailer for Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen all you Superbowl viewers will be seeing later on today. Number 2 looks a lot darker than the original movie and reminds me of Iron Man somewhwat, but as that made a ton of money it is probably a wise choice.
The Watchmen movie must be the most anticipated release of 2009. Warner Brothers made it, but Fox owned the rights (and have done for 20 years) and sued Warner Brothers when the movie was almost done. Someone thought Fox should eat dicks. All of them, but it is the movie which should play the lead role in this debate. Will it kick ass or will we have seen it all before? I don’t know, but here’s a little Watchmen feature which might give you some idea as what to expect.
Earth’s last Ice Age lasted God knows how many years, but certainly longer then the enterainment Ice Age and Ice Age 2 gave us. Time for Ice Age number 3. And possibly 4, 5 and 6. The trailer for Ice Age 3 is another gem and it involves a sitation we as men have all encountered.
If you’ve got a busy lifestyle frequenting star studded parties or are simply working 4 jobs just to make ends meet it can be difficult to find the 2 hours needed to watch a good movie. And this sucks. Why? Well, you’re missing out on great conversation with friends who have seen all the must see movies. But worry no longer. Just check this 5 minute video to find out how 100 well-known movies ended and you’ll be able to join in on any conversation.
One of my favorite actors of all time, Paul Newman, has passed away. Long (lung) cancer ended his life at the age of 83. Paul Newman played in some great movies such as Slapshot, The Sting, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Cool Hand Luke to name but a few. Although he had not acted for a while and his interests and time went more and more to his Newman’s Own charity his presence on the screen will be missed. R.I.P. Paul thanks for the hours of fun you’ve given millions.
In a galaxy far far away a lonely man was waiting on the one man who could save human kind from love and extinction in the romantic action movie of the year. You’ve probably never met Don LaFontaine before, but as soon as you hear his voice he’ll seem like an old trusty friend. The man that did over 5000 movie trailer voiceovers is not longer. Don R.I.P. in that far far away land.
They say you should never change a winning team and the Fast and the Furious franchise has finally figured that out. After the success of The Fast and The Furious from 2001 part 2 and 3 kind of dissappeared without much trace. It was time to get the old team back. For Fast and Furious 4 Vin Diesel returns and the trailer promises much.
Here’s a fun little game for you. See how many movie titles you can recognise in this picture. Dump your answers in the comments.
I’d say the new Batman movie The Dark Knight is the most eagerly anticipated movie of the year. In no small part due to the untimely death of The Joker aka Heath Ledger. If you can’t wait for the movie to hot a multiplex screen near you you can still your hunger for fun and games with these first 5 minutes of The Dark Knight.
While out adopting half of Africa and making babies with Brad Pitt Angelina Jolie has managed to make a movie or two. Wanted is one of them and in the US it took an obscene amount of money during it opening weekend. The movie was promoted on the net using probably the viral video of 2008. If you’re still not convinced if you want to see Wanted, maybe the first 7 minutes of the movie will do it for you.
I’ve just seen Daniel Craig effing and blinding in the excellent Layer Cake and it is kind of weird ot see him portray a more gentlemanly type of rogue in the form of James “007” Bond. James Bond 22, Quantum of Solace is still a little way away, but the first trailer hit the net and I’m looking forward to finding out more about this no doubt excellent movie. Tx 2 the forum.
Driving across the States from Seattle to Boston is no easy task in itself, but doing it on a bloody Segway is plain stupid. Or genius? Some guys made an Indy movie about it and called it 10 MPH. The start is rather slow, like the fucking Segway, but it gets more interesting after that. If you like weird documentaries.
While we’re talking about sentiment, I thought I might as well throw some youth memories in there. When Willy was a small willy he used to watch The Incredible Hulk on TV and loved it. The magic kind of got ruined by the movie remake a few years ago, but Hollywood is back for another go. The Incredible Hulk stars Edward Norton and as he is one of my favorite actors I just hope he does The Hulk justice and the screenplay does him justice. The brand new trailer is out now and I must say it looks like one dark rollercoaster of a movie.
One of the best digital animation franchises is the Ice Age one. Ice Age was cool, Ice Age 2 was cooler and Ice Age 3 looks set to become hot as hell. We’ll have to wait until the Summer of 2009 for the full length move Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, but the makers have wetted our appetite with a teaser trailer. Bring it on I say.
It’s movie time, here on TC again. This time it’s one that i am really, really looking forward to. Not in a Transformers style, (I know it’s going be shit but i want to see it anyway) but more along the lines of, it looks really good and i really want to see it. Robert Downey Jr, looks the part as Tony Stark and his suit looks the bollocks. And now there is a full length trailer and not just one of those stupid bloody teaser things, i am even more excited.
