Don’t Forget About This 2012 Release Starring Ryan Gosling: ‘Gangster Squad’
Posted by: | Comments
Any movie with Ryan Gosling these days is worth seeing. Put him as a crime fighting gangster alongside some of the biggest and brightest in Hollywood and book seats at this year’s award shows. That’s what Gangster Squad screamed to me when I first watched this trailer. Gosling is just the tip of the iceberg however — Sean Penn stars as a ‘god-like’ crooked kingpin fighting against Josh Brolin and his team of off the radar enforcement in a Los Angeles story based on true events. Director Ruben Fleischer also has re-teamed with the gorgeous and very busy Emma Stone — the pair worked together on Zombieland. If this trailer is any indication, Gangster Squad is going to be a force to be reckoned with in 2012.
New ‘Men in Black III’ Trailer Promises Little More Than Fun, Mindless Action
Posted by: | Comments
Ah, Men in Black, a franchise that is giving us more of something we don’t really want or need, a third film in this franchise. This doesn’t mean I won’t see it, but I definitely am not itching to do so, nor do I need to see it. Mike posted the tease for this film a few months back, and now we are being treated to a full length trailer which shows more about the film. Little is shown about the foe in this third chapter, but the typical MIB shenanigans are on full display in this pitch — the world is about to end, and the only defense from total destruction are those men hidden in the fabric of secret alien government operations. Can’t say I’m ecstatic or even really that interested in this film, but, it’s worth talking about.
‘Men In Black III’ Trailer Forces Its Way Back Into Your Life

Sometimes I wish I actually had a neuralyzer when Hollywood makes bad decisions. I’m not sure what trend suggested the world needed, or even wanted, another Men In Black movie, but Columbia Pictures is convinced there is still juice left in this one. So, after almost a decade since Men In Black II, the first trailer for Men In Black III has crash landed on the Internet.
Matt’s Review: Surprise, Surprise! Jonah Hex Isn’t Half-Bad
Posted by: | Comments
JONAH HEX (B-)
This movie is one that surprised me as I expected nothing more than to dislike it when buying my ticket. I am not a huge fan of Megan Fox’s typical attempts at acting, especially trying to pull off a southern accent like this role required. Even with her being a vital piece to this project, she did a suitable job with her part and helped make Jonah Hex a decent movie. Considering I walked in expecting failure because of the atrocious ratings it has received (14% approval on RottenTomatoes), I walked out appreciating the movie as a success for what it was trying to achieve. Jonah Hex is a respectable western.
First Glance: New Pics of Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
Posted by: | Comments
We reported way back in April on the announcement and casting of Oliver Stone’s Wall Street sequel, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. USA Today has now released the first hi-res still images of the film, which is currently in post-production. The sequel takes place 20 years after the original with Michael Douglas returning to his iconic role as the then villainous Gordon Gekko, who famously coined the phrase, “Greed is good.” Stone, who wrote and directed the original, passed on the script for WS2 several times, but inevitably changed his mind after the economic collapse of 2008. “I guess the crash, which happened in the meantime, made it more interesting,” Stone said.
We have some first glances at two movies coming out next year that are on my must-see list, both from Warner Bros. The first is writer-director Kevin Smith’s first major studio-financed movie titled A Couple of Dicks. It teams up the guaranteed hilarious duo of Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan as two cops whose adventures include locating a stolen baseball card, rescuing a woman and dealing with gangsters and their laundered money. The film is only directed by Kevin Smith, not written by (the film is written by the Bro-tandem of Robb and Mark Cullen) but Smith’s signature outrageous comedic-style should be all over this film, especially since it will inevitably be rated R.
