Get Your Ass-Kicked Alert!

Your Weekly Alert — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 23:46:14 +0000

Really. I should have said “Kick-Ass Alert!” only because this has become the most anticipated film of the year…due to some awesome online trailers. There’s something awful about watching a little girl cuss like a sailor, and being a father of one, I think it makes me even more sensitive to it. But I have an awful sense of humor…and so it goes…I think I’ll really love this movie. I hope you enjoy the kick-ass trailers below…but be warned…this isn’t a kid movie. You might want to wear some headphones and shield your computer screen when watching them.

The Buzz Around Toy Story Alert!

Your Weekly Alert — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 05:02:53 +0000

I can’t believe it has been 15 years since the first Toy Story came out in theaters. Where does the time go? Now I have two young children and I have easily seen Toy Story 1 and 2 a good thousand times.

So why am I so excited about Toy Story 3? Is it because I’ll finally see our friendly toys in new adventures for the first time in forever? Or is it that I have been so brainwashed by my own children and their love for Woody and Buzz that I really believe that toys come to life when I leave the room? It’s possible…right?

Update: Avatar Amazing Amazing!

Your Weekly Alert — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 21:42:05 +0000

I don’t say it very often. That movie was amazing! Over the last five years, I’ve probably said all those words in the same sentence, maybe three times. And two of those times have been in the last year. Like everyone else, I was a little skeptical going into it. I figured the hype would quickly deflate the actual movie for me. But it didn’t and now I have seen the movie twice in 3D. And I’m sure I’ll go see it again before it’s all said and done. I will probably even shell out for the ultra awesome BluRay 40 disc set when it comes out.

And unless you have been living in a cave for the last week…Avatar Reached $1.1 Billion Worldwide. That makes it the fastest grossing film in the history of forever. Fox have released official international numbers for Avatar. The current total is $735,343,853 in international receipts for a worldwide total of $1,102,880,538. That’s just $30 million behind Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, which it will pass in the next two days or so to become the second highest grossing movie in history (see chart).

All that said…GO SEE IT! It has something for everyone. It has space and special effects (for the scifi geeks), a good message about mother Earth (for the enviro-friendly), and romance (for the women who are unwilling to compromise with their dates and go see the weird-large-blue-people-movie). Check out the official website for more info.

Wild Things Are Almost Here Alert!

Your Weekly Alert — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 12:37:54 +0000

I’ll eat you up I love you so… If there’s any kid movie that I’m excited to see this year…it’s Where the Wild Things Are. Not only is it one of my favorite books from MY childhood, it’s also a book that my kids love. Bringing this classic children’s story to the big screen – with live action – makes me tear up a little. And the trailer has a good message. “Inside every one of us…” is a great way to start off the holiday season.

Will you see Where the Wild Things Are? Sound off in the comments.

Check out the movie site or the trailer below.

Rules of Zombie Killing Alert!

Your Weekly Alert — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 14:36:32 +0000

When I went to see D9 on opening night I saw a trailer for Zombieland, featuring Woody Harrelson. I’m a sucker for a good zombie flick. It’s my one guilty pleasure when it comes to horror films. There’s something so intriguing about the idea of being captive in a world devoid of the living…but replaced by the living dead…Muhahahaha (that’s the best I could do for a sinister laugh).

Plus, I’m kinda siked about Woody making a comeback in this movie. He’s funny and is perfect for this part. Maybe they’ll make a trilogy of Woody killing zombies.

Enjoy the trailer!

Avatar Movie Alert!

Your Weekly Alert — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 19:34:00 +0000

Have you seen the new movie trailer for Avatar? It’s a James Cameron flick, due out in December, and it looks fabulous! That’s right…I used fabulous to describe a movie. And I’m not even that familiar with the animated series, but I am a sucker for beautiful cinematography. Take a look.

A lot of people are talking (and by talking, we mean facebooking, or blogging, etc.) about this movie right now. And while you can’t find it on YouTube (WHAT?!!) – it does find itself in the Google rankings with The Last Airbender (M. Night). So enjoy the link to the trailer on Apple’s website and sorry for the inconvenience (we all know how too many clicks can cause frustration in our viewers). Have a great weekend and enjoy Inglourious Basterds!

Hilarious Hal Douglas Alert!

Your Weekly Alert — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 14:54:56 +0000

You don’t know who Hal Douglas is? How about Don LaFontaine? No? Then check out this great spoof trailer he did for The Comedian, a movie about Jerry Seinfeld. Very funny stuff. I especially like the sound check guy’s commentary during the whole thing. “What does that even mean?”

Ball Hair Alert!

Your Weekly Alert — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 02:14:20 +0000

Okay…what is it about certain afflictions that cause us to laugh uncontrollably? Sure, we might be driving the bus to hell, but we have to call em’ like we see em’. And this sh*t is funny. It might be a little dated, but it stands the test of time. Classic!

80’s Movies Rock Alert! [1of20]

Your Weekly Alert — Sun, 24 May 2009 18:40:48 +0000

Let us all pay homage to the awesomeness of the eighties by watching a series of movie clips from that era. It was a different time for our culture. Watch a movie from any given time period and you’ll see what life was like then (even if it’s set in space).

Here’s the first in our list of 20. Ice Pirates is a scifi comedy set in outer space. Its got everything you need from the eighties, including space herpies. Check out the trailer and feel free to see the clip on YouTube devoted to space herpies.

Stumpy Thunder Alert!

Your Weekly Alert — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 00:19:35 +0000

We cover a lot films that feature Jack Black. He’s a funny dude. And Tropic Thunder has some great scenes with a lot of great actors. So we’re posting a scene that doesn’t have Jack Black. So maybe that doesn’t make any sense, but who doesn’t find a little humor in over-the-top epic war movies like this? Enjoy a little Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr.
