You Have My Permission To Watch ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Trailer [UPDATED]
Posted by: | Comments
UPDATE: We now have a 1080p HD embed of the trailer that you can view right away after the break…
Fanboys have been drying off their sweaty palms all morning in anticipation for first full The Dark Knight Rises trailer. A teaser released on July 18th gave us only a slight glimpse of the third installment of Christopher Nolan’s beloved Batman trilogy. The new trailer gives a solid look at how Gotham has held up over the last eight years and where it might be headed.
The trailer gives us plenty of contemplate and even more to salivate over. The gut reaction when it’s over is one of relief and anticipation, but also disappointment that it is still seven months away. Nolan and Warner Bros. are following the same structure as The Dark Knight when it comes to releasing promotional material and a recently launched viral campaign. With the prologue currently showing in front of select IMAX screenings of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, we can expect this trailer will be the last look at this movie for a while. The prologue will most likely not be released online as it would defeat the purpose of showing it in true IMAX theaters only.
‘[the films of] Christopher Nolan’ — I Suggest You Watch This
Posted by: | Comments
It’s no secret, that here at the The Movie Mash, we are big fans of Christopher Nolan. Barrett and Mike each have The Dark Knight, The Prestige, and Inception among their top ten movies of all-time — I have Batman Begins amongst my ten favorites. Nolan is a cinematic genius, and has yet to fail as a blockbuster filmmaker. Many montages have been made showcasing the director’s work, but I think this latest rendition is definitely one of the best. Hit the jump to watch it.
‘Call of Duty: MW3′ Teaser Trailer Features Sam Worthington and Jonah Hill
Posted by: | Comments
For those living under a rock, tomorrow marks the day so many First-Person-Shooter fans have been waiting for — November 8th, 2011, the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The day marks the debut of the 8th Call of Duty gaming chapter, and the third version set in the modern era. Any FPS gamer on the planet knows Call of Duty is one of the most prestigious and most played franchises in the genre, and with that kind of noterity comes big fish. While a similar hailed shooter came out weeks ago titled Battlefield 3, it’s marketing campaign didn’t feature two prominent Hollywood fixtures. Hit the jump to see Sam Worthington play the role of “the vet” and Jonah Hill play “the noob” as they stage some real game action to promote the game.

Posted by: | Comments
If you haven’t seen X-Men: First Class, you really are missing out — it is without a doubt the best X-Men film to date. If you are one of the few who still have not seen it, don’t go pass go, i.e. the jump, to see this behind the scenes featurette. The video isn’t really anything special, but I really loved this film, and the extra peek at this cameo is worth the view for any fan.
Would ‘Star Wars’ Have Been Better With a Black C-3PO?

The question posed above might not be serious, but the video after the jump has your answer. Star Wars might not have worked with a black guy voicing C-3PO, but it would have been a whole lot funnier — that is clearly shown after watching the ghetto droid talk back to Uncle Owen. Hit the jump to see.
Must Watch: ‘Star Wars’ vs. Cancer and ‘Insane Office Escape’
Posted by: | Comments
To keep the readers entertained over the weekend, I thought I would pass along some cool videos I encountered while trolling Twitter. The first is a fun Star Wars short where stars like Emma Stone, Ken Jeong, Seth Rogen, and Aziz Ansari reenact our favorite scenes from a galaxy far, far away to raise cancer awareness. The second video should make any FPS — first person shooter — fan feel at home. Imagine watching a Jason Bourne-like figure destroying the suited opposition to escape an office with a high value confidential object. Seriously, hit the jump and watch these videos.
Webisodes and Fun Little Movies
Posted by: | Comments
Webisode series are a brilliant idea and a great form of quick entertainment. At this point in our constant Internet use, I find it surprising that the creation of webisodes is still somewhat less appreciated than other forms of film. The whole idea is based around fast entertainment for the online community. Webisodes allow one to watch an episode in a matter of 2 to 10 minutes, rather than a half hour to an hour. And forget the commercial breaks, there isn’t time for the annoyance of what diapers you should buy for the baby you don’t have.
Your New Best Friend, ‘Wilfred’
Posted by: | Comments
Originally an Australian TV show, the American adaptation of Wilfred has brought a unique, witty, disgustingly awesome humor to the summer television lineup on FX. Elijah Wood plays Ryan — a recently single, young professional who has been thrown into depression after losing his job as a successful lawyer. Ryan is ready to call it quits when his attractive neighbor Jenna (Fiona Gubelmann), and her dog Wilfred (Jason Gann), come over to greet him in the midst of his suicide attempt. Instead of seeing an actual dog, Ryan sees a middle-aged man in a dog suit, that talks to him in an Australian accent. Ryan quickly comes to terms with the fact that he is the only human being able to talk to Wilfred — as well as indulge in ridiculous activities like bong smoking and beer drinking, all the while getting in trouble with “man’s best friend”.
Hilarious Interview With ‘Fast Five’ “Screenwriter”
Posted by: | Comments
I always love to browse The Onion News Network website and to laugh at the parodies they pump out. The latest joke is on Fast Five, which comes out this weekend. Of course this is the fifth installment of the mindless action franchise, and earlier this week it was announced that a sixth was inevitable. All the previous four films have had lucrative profits, and Fast Five is already making big money overseas since it was released last week. Hollywood, being the money hungry business that it is, will pump out sequels until people stop going to see this franchise. Anyway, hit the jump to see an interview with the “screenwriter” of Fast Five. It isn’t the real author, but it is hilarious to see The Onion poke fun at the idea of how unintelligent these films are.
