Robert Rodriguez and Danny Trejo re-teaming for ‘Machete Kills’

Wednesday, 08 February 2012

Machete was a fun movie. A reaaaal fun movie. Robert Rodriguez fans have been wondering since the release of the original, and the announcement of the completion of a script for the sequel, when he would find time in his tumultuous schedule to return to the character for a sequel. It seems that he’s decided moved it up a few notches on his “to-do” list to his next...

Joss Whedon, Tom Hiddleston, Samuel Jackson, Clark Gregg, and more in ‘the Avengers’ Glo

Tuesday, 07 February 2012

Yeah, I knew about the Global Twitter chat that took place for “The Avengers”. I didn’t participate because I had a strong feeling that it would be overwhelmed with geek girls fawning over Tom Hiddleston. I just don’t understand why but he’s a ‘geek girl’ magnet. Anyway, we now have an opportunity to review the transcript of the chat and see if they let...

The Star Wars 3D Superbowl TV spot

Tuesday, 07 February 2012

Did you guys see that new TV spot for the 3D re-releases of Star Wars that aired during the Superbowl? I didn’t. But thanks to the power of the internetz we can all use youtube as our personal DVR’s and view anything that we may have missed during our many many beer fueled trips to the bathroom. For your viewing pleasure I present that very ad: That wasn’t all that bad and even...

Jonah Hill, Kristen Bell and Sarah Paxton posing with the Ghostbusters’ Ecto-1… is this

Monday, 06 February 2012

I really really hate posting about Ghostbusters. It’s bittersweet but mostly bitter because they dangle the franchise in front of us without any real traction. It’s been a good 3 or so months since we learned that Oscar grows up to be a Ghostbuster and now these guys are teasing something BIG in these photos. Via: Worst Previews Apaprently the source of all this imagery is none other...

Liam Neeson joins Battleship

Thursday, 09 September 2010

Battleship is taking the classic Hasbro board game and making it into something it never was. A story. And now joining the mixed bag cast of actors and popstars is Liam Neeson!

FlickCast says:

Neeson will be playing Admiral Shane, a Naval officer whose daughter is engaged to the film’s main protagonist, Alex Hopper, who is played by Taylor Kitsch (X-men Origins:Wolverine).
Neeson’s daughter will be played by relative unknown Brooklyn Decker, who had guest appearances on television shows including Chuck and Ugly Betty. Alexander Skarsgaard (True Blood) plays Kitsch’s older brother, and R&B songstress Rihanna is making her acting debut as she plays Kitsch’s crew mate and a weapons specialist. Tom Arnold will also be part of the cast, but no news on what his role will entail.

I praised the studio behind Battleship because they will have to come up with an original story just to tie in the Hasbro board game that lacks one completely, but its been a rollercoaster of news ever since.

Popstar Rhianna will make her acting debut here in what appears to be a throwaway role, but Alexander Skarsgaard and Taylor Kitsch are in it too. There is some potential there. Then Tom Arnold is attached and we have no idea in what capacity (he hasn’t impressed me since True Lies) and now Liam Neeson is attached.

This could be a lot of fun or a complete train wreck.

At least we can look forward to a new version of the game on store shelves that will inevitably portray Alien vessels VS US Navy Vessels instead of just the traditional Red vs Blue.
