I so wanted to write “New Kick-Ass Trailer Kicks Ass,” but I swore a vow not to write vomit-inducing headlines on Fridays. But man oh man, I cannot wait for April. Seriously. How awesome does this movie look? What’s not to like about bloody violence, teenage shennanigans and little girls who swear like sailors? Wait, that sounds like any night on XBOX Live. At any rate, check out the first full-length trailer for Kick-Ass and, as always, give us your …

The upcoming angels and automatic weapon orgy Legion looks like an attempt at coronation as this decade’s Underworld— a geeky/goofy genre premise that takes itself deadly serious and while a little flat and overly straight-faced, has the sweet potential for guilty pleasure. Legion arrives January 22, which means all kinds of clips are coming available. Clips like this one, where Paul Bettany’s Michael goes angel-a-angel with a wing-swinging Gabriel. Like I said, goofy… but kinda cool. Geek out or roll …
Remakes can be insufferable (take your pick from any horror remake over the last decade… or The Day The Earth Stood Still). They can also hold their own (3:10 to Yuma, The Ring, Clash of the Titans?). But mostly, they’re insufferable. Apparently, thanks to the debut of its trailer, the remake of the 80’s classic The Karate Kid plans on upholding the tradition. And that’s not because we hate remakes. AATM has a firm policy: “Regardless of crappy track record, …
At this point, Kick Ass is percolating in your conscious. You’ve seen the all ages trailer and Condor Man’s taxi cab facial. You’ve seen Nicholas Cage lovingly put a couple slugs into his little girl’s kevlar chest. And sure, while the little girl (AKA- Hit Girl) can take a .45 caliber punch, she can also deliver a few herself. Empire recently posted an exclusive red band Kick Ass Hit Girl trailer, one that Trailer Addict was kind enough to rip …
Crazy Heart is in limited release so I’ve been forbidden to post my review yet, but I will say this – it is definitely one of the year’s best films. It’s like a kinder, gentler, blue-sky version of last year’s The Wrestler. One of the film’s strengths is the soundtrack, especially the song “The Weary Kind.” Jeff Bridges, Robert Duvall and Collin Farrell all sing on the soundtrack, due out on January 19th, 2010. Ryan Bingham co-wrote the song with …
While everyone was arguing about tired ol’ Halo around these parts, the new Iron Man 2 trailer premiered. I bet Iron Man could beat Master Chief in a fight AND in a contest to get the most girls phone numbers. Those fools who say otherwise are just kidding themselves.
Ridley “I own too many films in Dan’s Lifetime Top 10” Scott’s been around the block a few times when it comes to directing swords, dirt, slow-mo “Aaaaaargh”s and men being cloven in the forest thanks to 1492: Conquest of Paradise, Gladiator and the unjustly maligned Kingdom of Heaven. He’s now chalked up another– as we posted way back in April, Ridley Scott’s been hard at work on Robin Hood. So have Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett and William Hurt. Not …
Coming off the annual AICN BNAT (Butt-Numb-A-Thon) film-fest this last week, Kick-Ass has officially received the geek cred seal of approval. Admittedly, that’s not too hard, but face it. The Kick-Ass trailer is pretty fantastic and this new clip as debuted on UGO warmed my heart and brought a smile to my face. There’s nothing like the special relationship between Daddy and daughter. And a crazy Nicholas Cage and a 12-year-old-assassin in training.
