Puss in Boots Teaser!

We love a good spin-off... hell - we love a BAD spinoff. We'll take anything we can get really. And hey, this is also like a prequel, showing us the events that led up to Puss' meeting with Shrek and friends. It needs a new category. I shall call it... a spiquel.

Anyways, Puss in Boots is coming November 4, 2011, and it's gonna be in 3D. If a sidekick ever deserved his own movie, it's Puss. We can all admit that he was the most charming, most adorable character of the Shrek franchise. Can't we? Oh wait, let's not forget Gingie. But he couldn't carry his own movie, if only becaues that helium-voice would get annoying after 10 minutes.

Check out this teaser... if you dare!

The 89 Second Review: Tron Legacy

Green Lantern Trailer

We haven't given an update on this flick in a while, so here we go.

The trailer for Green Lantern has been released, and we can see sexy rexy Canadian Ryan Reynolds in full Lantern attire. Lovin' it!

Some people are diggin' this trailer, and some people are upset with Ryan's funnyman antics, saying he's playing it too lightly and always going for the laugh. We see nothing wrong with that, but I guess those that are faithful to the source material might take issue with it.

Also, as per usual, we get to see him shirtless. BONUS!

Keep your eyes peeled for the villain with the giant forehead. Whoa.

How do you feel about the CGI-ish suit?

Silent Hill: Revelation 3D

I have a confession. I LOVED Silent Hill (2006). Stop scoffing at the computer and deal with it. The imagery was frickin' scaaaary - like armless faceless dude who walks all effed up, or those goddamn horrifying nurses, or big helmet head hammer skirt wearing dude.. who by the way, was totally ripped off in Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010). I am one of 2 people I know who loved it. I'll give you one guess who that person is...

Anyways, the new movie focuses on the creeptastic little girl, all growed up.

Heather Mason and her father have been on the run, always one step ahead of dangerous forces that she doesn't fully understand, Now on the eve of her 18th birthday, plagued by horrific nightmares and the disappearance of her father, Heather discovers she's not who she thinks she is. The revelation leads her deeper into a demonic world that threatens to trap her forever. [IMDB]

Despite my warm and fuzzy (or terrifying and frightening) feelings toward this video-game adaptation, I will admit I'm not too keen on a sequel.

UPDATE: The trailer we posted turned out to be fan-made or some crap.

Regardless, did you guys like the first one? How do you feel about a second?

We Get It, James Cameron. You LOOOOVE to film underwater... Here's "Sanctum"

An underwater cave diving team experiences a life-threatening crisis during an expedition to the unexplored and least accessible cave system in the world. [IMDB]

Ughhh... he just looooves to use his little submarines and underwater camera equipment.

So J-Cam is bringing us Sanctum. I'm actually surprised that this is his follow up to Avatar, mostly because Avatar was quite original (haters quit hatin') and this spelunking concept has been done to death. The Cave (2005), The Descent (2005) plus the sequel, not to mention Cameron's own The Abyss (1989) which also involved tons of underwater shots and claustrophobimoments.

I almost stopped watching the trailer when the chick sarcastically said "What could possibly go wrong diving in caves?" Oh HA HA, it makes it SO original by acknowledging that everyone knows the shit's gonna hit the submarine propellor.

The visuals will be beautiful, I'm sure, the 3D will probz be cool, and it stars a bunch of people I don't recognize, which I usually like since I'm not distracted by star status. Although I did spot my Welsh-crush Ioan Gruffudd (aka Mr. Fantastic) in the trailer.

The 89 Second Review: Jackass 3D

Here is our 89 Second Review for Jackass 3D! Keep in mind that '89 Seconds' is pretty much just a concept at this point. Once we get going, we just can't stop!

Also I (Angie) have gone back to brunette. I was tired of breaking so many hearts as a blonde.

Don't Go There: Clash Of The Titans 2

Rumours are a-flyin' around this here internet. A Clash Of The Titans sequel. Really? Is that really necessary? Not only did you remake a classic movie and make it mediocre, but you need to make a sequel? For real?

Grroooaaann... anyways, Sam Worthington's IMDB page confirms his involvement in the project.

For anyone who saw the 2010 version, you know about the half-assed-last-minute-3D, the dreadfully awful CGI Medusa, and Sam's sad attempt at acting like he has feelings about things. Although the film was a mildly entertaining blockbuster at best (remember, I defended it) they gotta milk this one for all it's worth.

The part that really irked me was the film just exploded into your face with some war between people and Gods, without any real explanation. Then it was just a silly quest and some monsters thrown in along the way to Perseus' acceptance that he's a half-god. I wonder what the sequel will be about. They'll probably just stick more mythological creatures into fight sequences, and spruce up the 3D a little, with total disregard for a plot-line or romance/relationship that makes you feel anything.

So in the next 2 years or so, expect all your favourite Gods and Demi-Gods back in the sequel. What did you think of this movie? How do you feel about a sequel?

Memorable Monologue: Avatar

"You are not in Kansas anymore. You are on Pandora, ladies and gentlemen. Respect that fact every second of every day. If there is a Hell, you might want to go there for some R & R after a tour on Pandora. Out there beyond that fence every living thing that crawls, flies, or squats in the mud wants to kill you and eat your eyes for jujubes. We have an indigenous population of humanoids called the Na'vi. They're fond of arrows dipped in a neurotoxin that will stop your heart in one minute - and they have bones reinforced with naturally occurring carbon fiber. They are very hard to kill. As head of security, it is my job to keep you alive. I will not succeed. Not with all of you. If you wish to survive, you need to cultivate a strong, mental attitude. You've got to obey the rules: Pandora rules."

~ Stephen Lang as Col. Miles Quaritch in Avatar (2009)

Smarter Than The Average Bear: Yogi's Coming!

Holy hell, this is really happening! Thanks to fellow LAMB The Movie Brothers we found this teaser for the Yogi Bear movie!

Dan Aykroyd is voicing Yogi, and Justin Timberlake will be Boo Boo! Aww... random but cute. We also get some Anna Faris, so hey - we'll see this. *cough cough on DVD cough*

Plot? A documentary filmmaker travels to Jellystone Park to shoot a project and soon crosses paths with Yogi Bear, his sidekick Boo-Boo, and Ranger Smith. Thanks IMDB.

Let me guess... crazy bear shenanigans (ie waterskiing, as seen in the trailer below), everyone learning lessons about tolerance, friendship and not stealing picnic baskets. Sounds like wholesome family fun. Oh yeah and it's in 3D.

What do you think of this Hanna Barbera inspired flick?

Shocking new SAW VII image that nobody is shocked by...

Here's a still from the new Saw film... yeah number 7... and it's 3D. Meh.

Oh wow... a girl in chains on some big contraption, about to "make a choice... live or die" or some such bullshit, to pay for her sins. Yaawwnn...

The problem with making 14 sequels is that the audience is desensitized at this point. You could have all her limbs attached to a different chain, and she has to choose which limb she will lose otherwise have all of them ripped out in a bloody gory 3-dimensional mess, and we're STILL unaffected. So she did some crack, get over it, Jigsaw (and friends). You all need some major therapy. Or at least I will by the time I finish watching the movies in this godforsaken franchise.

New Jackass Movie Gives you Stunts and Poop Jokes in 3 Dimensions

GRROOOAAANN.... as much as the stupidity of this franchise makes me cringe and have serious doubts about the nature of humanity, it still makes me laugh. Dog gonnit, it's true.

All of our favourite morons are back in this 3rd installment of idiocy on film... and it comes out on Chanty's birthday! October 15th! I know where wee'rree gooiiingg!!! Just kidding.

Apparently Bam Margera broke 3 ribs during filming and spent a while in hospital, so you KNOW it's gonna be good. Not really, I hate when people get hurt.

So what kind of shenanigans will take place you ask?

"One of the stunts Bam Margera stated he intended to film was entitled "The Worst Wake-up in the World" in which himself and Ryan Dunn would wake up Bam's fellow friend Brandon Novak with defibrillators, then urinate onto his face, throw flour on him to cake the urine, punch him in each eye, and then release six vampire bats into the room, and lock the door."

"'The Heli-cockter' has also been filmed [in which] Chris Pontius tethered a remote control-operated helicopter from his penis, and grinned while he swung it around."

[Wikipedia]

Well, if that doesn't entice you to see it... in 3D no less, than I don't know what will.

Tron: Legacy Update!

Long ago, on a website far far away (ie right here) we reported to you the deets of Tron: Legacy, the 27-years-later sequel! Well now we've got two trailers for you to peruse and form opinions about. Are you excited for this revamp? Granted, the effects will be MUCH better than the orig, and the 3D will probably rival that of Avatar, BUT sometimes a sequel this late in the game is a mistake. We're gonna check it out. Are you?

Personally, if we were to get to live in a video game, I think we all know which one it would be.

Chanty - I get to be Mario because as the younger sibling I spent my entire childhood being Luigi. Nah nah nah nah!!!

The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn

Yes, ANOTHER classic from our childhoods (well, some of us) is coming to the silver screen!

Jamie Bell will star as the title character in the 2011 film The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn.

The film will be done in motion capture animation! AND 3D! This could be amazers! With Steven Spielberg directing, Peter Jackson producing, and John Williams scoring, how could this be bad?

Tintin and his friends discover directions to a sunken ship commanded by Capt. Haddock's ancestor and go off on a treasure hunt. [IMDB]

Oh Lordy Loo, I love me a good treasure hunt! Giddy up!

And to make things even more exciting, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost both have major roles in the film as bumbling detectives Thompson and Thomson! As well as our late 80s fave Cary Elwes! Andy Serkis (Gollum from LOTR) will be playing Captain Haddock, and Daniel Craig is playing a pirate.

Wowz.

In researching the film, I found that Peter Jackson was the one to suggest the motion capture style, knowing full-well that live action would not do the classic comics and cartoons justice. We think he made the right choice.

Personally I just can't wait to see Jamie Bell with that classic flipped hairstyle. But I wonder... will they have accents? Cuz we all know Tintin and friends are total Frenchies. Oui oui, hon hon.

Resident Evil: Afterlife POSTER!

Milla Jovovich with guns. What more could you expect from the poster for the new Resident Evil film? Well, you COULD put her in the pouring rain, all sexy and soaking wet... oh wait, you did! Awesome.

A little zombie action in the poster wouldn't hurt either. Just sayin', the movie IS more than Milla being an action star. Isn't it? ISN'T IT?

Also, this will be in 3D. Nothing like a zombie head exploding in 3 dimensions. GIDDY UP!

Gulliver's Travels Promo Has Officially Begun!

Ok so here is the official promo poster for Gulliver's Travels, starring Jack Black.

Black is the new big? Whoa, double-entendre much?

Aaaannyways... this isn't looking like the period film I thought it would be. But that's ok. We also love modern spins on old stories! Also, 3D! Hoooah!

Trailer's here too! And looky looky - it's that hilarious guy from She's Out Of My League (too lazy to Google his name right now). This looks like a family-friendly comedy, and the trailer alone shows us some really cute, funny stuff... including a small glimpse of Chanty's future/fantasy husband - Jason Segel. I'm betting right now critics are gonna hate it... but hey - those dudes are uptight and don't know how to just kick back and enjoy a silly movie for what it is.

Are you excited for this one?

Piranha 3D trailer!

Remember way back when we told about this new Piranha film? Did you think we were joking? Heellzzz no! It's really happening! It sounded like a piece of B-Movie cheese right outta the 50s, but apparently that's what the filmmakers were going for.

This movie has all the goodies you can hope for in a 'monster' flick. People investigating dark places, chicks in bikinis who get eaten, d-bags drinking beer and turning into pirahna lunch, and Christopher Lloyd as a scientist. Ok - that's unrelated to the monster genre, but it's still effing cool.

Now THIS is how you do 3D!

We've also heard from Movies Online that Richard Dreyfuss has a small cameo in the film! I guess he knows a thing or two about toothed underwater creatures stirring up shit. Remember, he was in Jaws... oh nevermind.

Tangled: The Rapunzel Story!

Disney? Wha?? Animated? Huh?? Rapunzel? Booya! Musical? SOLD!

And that was exactly what went through my head when I read this sweet little write-up care of TheMovieInsider:

...An action-packed, swashbuckling, animated musical comedy about the girl behind 70 feet of magical, golden hair. A princess stolen from her parents' castle as a baby, Rapunzel (voice of Mandy Moore) is locked in a hidden tower longing for adventure Now an imaginative and determined teenager, she takes off on a hilarious, hair-raising escapade with the help of a dashing bandit (voice of Zachary Levi).  TheMovieInsider

Angie previously wrote about this upcoming, but as of late, the details have changed, MAJORLY! Different stars and a new release date! We're both super pumped for another Disney flick, although nothing has topped 'The Disney Renaissance' era. This era, which spanned from 1989-1999 gave us such gems as The Little Mermaid (1989), Beauty and the Beast (1991), Aladdin (1992), The Lion King (1994), Hercules (1997) and Mulan (1998)! Some of the Disney animated feature films since have failed to inspire us. They haven't had that lasting power.

Here's what this movie would have to have to really keep me interested:

* A battle scene: FlatIronia vs. Curliopia 

* A wise old brush that speaks only confucious quotes...

* A massive musical number involving singing scissors, clippers, bottles of mousse and hairspray, all led by a hair dryer named Vidal...

Experience this classic Grimm fairytale in Disney digital 3D November 24, 2010!

New CGI Popeye movie, in 3D!

Variety is reporting that a new Popeye movie is in the works! A CGI one! AND in 3D! *pooofff* (That was my brain imploding)

I know most people in the civilized world thought the 1980 Robin Williams one was a piece of crap, but we loved it. And we're totally down for a new interpretation.

Sony Pictures won't discuss much of the plot, but they have confirmed that Olive Oyl, Sweet-Pea, and Bluto will all make appearances. I freakin' hope so. It would be blasphemous if they didn't!

I suppose it doesn't matter who voices Popeye because they'll obviously have to recreate that classic stuttering raspy voice.

I'd like to see the plot revolve around Sweet Pea growing up, Popeye trying to teach him to be a sailor man, but Sweet Pea wants to be an artist or something... and conflict ensues. Popeye doesn't know how to react to his less-than-macho son, feels shame, Olive Oyl tells him to be proud and embrace his son's talent and be supportive. Bluto is a big jerk who just wants to sabbotage the whole family so he steals a piece of Sweet Pea's art and claims it as his own, makes a ton of money, and the family goes on a campaign to save their son's honour.

Hollywood, you can make my cheque out to cash.
