I wasn’t expecting to see a new Grindhouse trailer so soon and I wasn’t expecting it to be better than the last one, but it is. I’m very surprised that Bruce Willis! is in Planet Terror, and with every new Death Proof scene I see Kurt Russell in, the more glad I am that he got the role. This movie is going to rule 2007.

I’ve been hearing so much about this movie and seeing teaser clips of it for months. It looks like it will be great fun - if not just plain great!
The concept is that the film will actually be a “double-feature” of films, one directed by Quentin Tarantino, the other by Robert Rodriguez. Each ‘half’ of Grindhouse will be separated and punctuated with fake ‘trailer’ and vintage-style intermission commercials, just like in the old days of grindhouse cinema.
Kurt Russell headlines the Tarantino half, called “Death Proof”, about a homicidal stuntman in a killer muscle car. Rodriguez’s feature stars Rose McGowan as a hot babe with killer legs, literally. In “Planet Terror”, her leg lost to the monsters in the film is replaced with a machinegun.
Yahoo Movies has posted a great interview with Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez talking about Grindhouse and the movies that inspired them. There’s no better marketing campaign than getting these two in a room and just letting them talk about movies. The video also has a bunch of new scenes from the film. April 6 can’t come fast enough.
Watch the video here:
I didn’t even know they were making another one of these. My friends and I got a kick out of the first one (I was a fan of the original video games going back to the Playstation 1).
The sequel was terrible, and I’d hope this one would have to be an improvement over it. Anyway, Resident Evil Extinction has some good news and some bad news. The good news is that it is directed by Russell Mulcahy who directed the original Highlander. The bad news is that it is directed by Russell Mulcahy who directed Highlander 2. Yeesh…
The cast looks pretty cool, with Milla Jovovich returning, along with Oded Fehr and Ali Larter (”Heroes”).
Plot Summary:
The third and final installment of the $100 million “Resident Evil” hits, “Resident Evil: Extinction” is again based on the wildly popular video game series and picks up where the last film left off.
Alice (Milla Jovovich), now in hiding in the Nevada desert, once again joins forces with Carlos Olivera (Oded Fehr) and L.J. (Mike Epps), along with new survivors Claire (Ali Larter), K-Mart (Spencer Locke) and Nurse Betty (Ashanti) to try to eliminate the deadly virus that threatens to make every human being undead… and to seek justice.
Since being captured by the Umbrella Corporation, Alice has been subjected to biogenic experimentation and becomes genetically altered, with super-human strengths, senses and dexterity. These skills, and more, will be needed if anyone is to remain alive.

Coming Soon!
Let’s hope this one reclaims some cool from the awful sequel and improves upon the first film. More news as I get it!

Am I losing my mind with posts about this movie or what? There’s not much of anything in theaters recently - and not much to look forward to in the weeks ahead.
But I am majorly pumped for ‘300′. Is there any way this film could live up to my expectations of planetary-axis-altering coolness? Not with this recent news:
As you might expect, Warner Bros. is releasing their upcoming adaptation of Frank Miller’s 300 in beautiful Imax. The Imax version of 300 will open simultaneously with the theatrical version on March 9th. Warner Bros. and Imax will digitally remaster the film for the gigantic screens.
300 in Imax will be shown in 40 theaters here in the US and 15 internationally. A 3-D version of 300 in Imax would be absolutely killer but hopefully we’ll still get that somewhere down the line. Seriously though, has there ever been a film more suited for Imax than 300? With all the rich colors, vibrant visuals and insane sound work? Who doesn’t want to hear Gerard Butler bellow, “Tonight, we dine in HELL!” in an Imax theater?
300 will be the first theatrical film released by Imax this year (but will hardly be the last). Expect future announcements on SPIDER-MAN 3, HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX and (hopefully) TRANSFORMERS.

It looks like Stephen King may have his best book-to-film adaptation in years. The movie is ‘1408′ and it stars John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson.
The film looks to be a powerful and creepy ghost story about a huanted room in a 95-year old hotel wherein no one can last more than an hour alone.

The following story contains MODERATE SPOILERS for Season 3 of “Battlestar Galactica.”
When fans find out which popular character from “Battlestar Galactica” is going to vanish from the ragtag fleet, they’ll not only be shocked, they’ll be angry.
“In the second half of this season, you can expect many stunning surprises and revelations,” show producer David Weddle told SyFy Portal’s Michael Hinman. “We will experience the devastating loss of a much loved character who is central to ‘Galactica,’ and it will shake the crew to the core.”
Speculation has centered around the departure of Katee Sackhoff from the show, at least temporarily, taking her character of Kara “Starbuck” Thrace with her. Weddle, however, wouldn’t deny or confirm which character would be taken out except that the ripple effects through the rest of the crew will be startling.
“I imagine many fans will be outraged and screaming for our heads,” he said. “But others may take comfort in the fact that every time we upset the chessboard and scatter the pieces, it opens the door to many new provocative and exciting stories in the season to come.”
How much these changes will enthrall fans will most likely be reflected in the ratings. And while it appears most people connected with the show expect a renewal by SciFi Channel, Weddle says he’s not taking any chances.
“The renewal of the show depends on the ratings this January and February,” he said. “If you care about this show, browbeat your friends who are not yet fans to watch it. Often, people are resistant because of the title to invest in the show. But I find that if you can get them to watch a few episodes, they almost always get hooked.”
Weddle says moving the show to Sundays, beginning this week at 10 p.m. ET, should be a tremendous benefit to the ratings bottom line.
“I am OK with the move to Sundays,” he said. “I know many people who have not watched the show on Friday nights because they are out socializing. There will be more available eyeballs on Sunday nights, which is a good thing. But it is also a much more competitive night. We just have to hang tight and hope we draw a decent audience.”
There is interesting competition for “Battlestar Galactica” on Sunday night. On cable alone, FX airs its new series “Dirt.” As for the networks, they are airing new episodes of popular shows including “Brothers & Sisters” on ABC and “Without a Trace” on CBS. Also, NBC is airing “Crossing Jordan” as well.
Deciding to DVR the other shows and watching BSG live instead could pay off, Weddle said.
“We will learn shocking secrets about several other characters,” he said. “Some of the story threads set into motion at the start of the season will be resolved, but in unexpected ways.”
“Battlestar Galactica” returns right after the series premiere of “The Dresden Files” Sunday at 10 p.m. ET on SciFi Channel.

The point of a tv show isn’t to upset or alienate the audience. It’s to entertain them.
Frankly, I can see why ratings are down and the show is in a fight for its life against cancellation. The show is too morose, and just not fun anymore. The big return last night was tedious and I found myself sitting through it out of a strange sense of loyalty. I wasn’t entertained much - in fact, it was mostly lame. I can see why the ratings are falling - the show is ODing on it’s relentessly dark worldview and increasingly byzantine mythology.
And next weeks’ sure-to-be-dull, ongoing soap opera between Apollo and Starbuck sure ain’t going to help.
I previously posted the teaser trailer to this badass movie and now I’m linking to the High-Def theatrical trailer recently posted to Yahoo Movies.
This looks absolutely amazing. I love sword and sandal movies, and also appreciate films with great visual style. This looks to be similar in tone to Sin City, another Frank Miller adaptation. It’s directed by the guy who did the excellent Dawn of the Dead remake a couple of years back, Zach Snyder.
Dude’s got good instincts.

Here are some new promotional images of the sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean. The third part of the trilogy is called Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End. Some of these may be used in the in the movie poster artwork. Others are just theater cards.
Pretty cool! I really enjoyed the first movie, but thought the second one was a little silly. Hopefully the final part of the trilogy brings it all together.

I have been really jonesin for this game ever since I first saw the trailers for it about three weeks ago. It’s due out for the end of January, and I hope they hold to that date. Lately it seems every video game I like is pushed back - often for months. I’ve been waiting on Forza 2 Motorsports for about three months now, and that one isn’t due until about April at the earliest.

George Lucas said Friday that filming of the long-awaited Indiana Jones 4 will begin next year with Harrison Ford set to star again. Lucas said he and Steven Spielberg recently finalized the script for the film.
“It’s going to be fantastic. It’s going to be the best one yet,” the 62-year-old filmmaker said during a break from preparing for his duties as grand marshal of Monday’s Rose Parade.
Exact film locations have not been decided yet, but Lucas said part of the movie will be shot in Los Angeles.
The fourth chapter of the “Indiana Jones” saga, which will hit theaters in May 2008, has been in development for over a decade with several screenwriters taking a crack at the script, but it only recently gained momentum.
Lucas kept mum about the plot, but said that the latest action flick will be a “character piece” that will include “very interesting mysteries.”
Steven Spielberg says that the film will feature all of Jones’ former babes in various cameo roles. Karen Allen is expected to be back for one soundbite, and other Indy girls who had smaller roles will be coming back. It is still up in the air whether or not Kate Capshaw, Spielberg’s wife, will make an appearance. Sean Connery as Indy’s father will be back for a few scenes, and the film is set in the early ’50s.
“I think it’s going to be really cool,” Lucas said.
At the inaugural Rome Film Festival in October, the 64-year-old Ford said he was excited to team up with Lucas and Spielberg again for the fourth “Indiana Jones” installment. Ford said he was “fit to continue” to play the title role despite his age.
