Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Trailer

Action genre video games have generally done well in their transitions to the big screen and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time looks like it’ll be a huge summer blockbuster as it releases on May 28th.  The film is being produced by the same team that did the Pirates of The Caribbeans trilogy so you know there will be some sick CGI involved.

After.Life Trailer

Christina Ricci, Justin Long, and Liam Neeson star in this horror suspense that looks like it’ll be a great thriller film.  I might actually go check this out when it comes out on April 9th.

After a horrific car accident, Anna (Christina Ricci) wakes up to find the local funeral director Eliot Deacon (Liam Neeson) preparing her body for her funeral. Confused, terrified, and feeling still very much alive, Anna doesnt believe shes dead, despite the funeral director’s reassurances that she is merely in transition to the afterlife. Eliot convinces her he has the ability to communicate with the dead and is the only one who can help her. Trapped inside the funeral home, with nobody to turn to except Eliot, Anna is forced to face her deepest fears and accept her own death. But Anna’s grief-stricken boyfriend Paul (Justin Long) still can’t shake the nagging suspicion that Eliot isnt what he appears to be. As the funeral nears, Paul gets closer to unlocking the disturbing truth, but it could be too late; Anna may have already begun to cross over to the other side.

Date Night Trailer

If Get Him To The Greek isn’t this summer’s biggest comedy, Date Night might steal the award.  Steve Carell, Tina Fey, Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, and Common star in this April 9th release about the craziest date night ever.

Get Him To The Greek Trailer

It looks like Judd Apatow will strike again because this movie looks hilarious!  Even though I hate Russell Brand and don’t find him funny at all, it looks like Jonah Hill and Diddy will more than make up for Brand’s failures.  You can catch Get Him To The Greek out in theaters on June 4th.

A Nightmare On Elm Street – Second Trailer

Here’s the second trailer to the Michael Bay directed thriller about Freddy Krueger’s return to the big screen.

Defendor Trailer

Woody Harrelson stars in this new comedy that I think will go under a lot of people’s radar.  Defendor is out in theaters this Friday February 26th.

Bruised and beaten, arm in a sling, neck in a brace, Arthur Poppington (Woody Harrelson) sits in front of court-appointed psychologist Ellen Park (Sandra Oh). After making her swear to secrecy, Poppington begins to tell the story of his secret life as “Defendor” – yes, that’s an “OR” – spelling is not one of his super powers. By day, Poppington directs traffic around road construction sites, but at night he dons a pair of black tights, a black jersey with a crude “D” duct-taped to his chest, and trawls the streets as his alter ago. As Defendor, Poppington engages in what he believes is a super heroic fight against crime in an attempt to fulfill his unrealized dream of capturing his archrival, Captain Industry – a gun trafficking crime lord who Poppington mistakenly believes is responsible for the death of his mother.

Defendor’s problems with the law begin with his intervention in a trick gone bad. When coming to the aid of Katerina Debrofkowitz (Kat Dennings), an underage prostitute, Defendor tangles with her pimp, Chuck Dooney (Elias Koteas) – a crooked undercover cop. By doing so, Defendor bumbles his way into a criminal underworld, and the stage is set for a showdown with Captain Industry.

Defendor is the ultimate underdog story about the unlikeliest of super heroes. While he may be deficient in super powers, he has a surplus of heart and sometimes that’s all you need to make a difference.

Kevin Smith Ejected From Southwest Airlines Flight

I guess the Southwest Airlines flight crew that ejected the “random” fat guy from the plane didn’t realize who that “random” fat guy was.  It sucks when you throw someone out and that “random” fat guy ends up being celebrity Kevin Smith, the director of Dogma, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Cop Out, and other films.

Killers Trailer

I guess it’s pretty cool that Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl are in this movie but this might be the corniest movie ever!  Ashton Kutcher as a trained killer?!  GTFOH!

The Ghost Writer Trailer

Ewan McGregor, Pierce Brosnan, Kim Cattrall, and Olivia Williams star in this suspense thriller, The Ghost Writer, that’s hitting theaters everywhere on April 10th.

When a successful British ghost writer, The Ghost, agrees to complete the memoirs of former British Prime Minister Adam Lang, his agent assures him it’s the opportunity of a lifetime. But the project seems doomed from the start—not least because his predecessor on the project, Lang’s long-term aide, died in an unfortunate accident.

The Ghost flies out to work on the project, in the middle of winter, to an oceanfront house on an island off the U.S. Eastern seaboard. But the day after he arrives, a former British cabinet minister accuses Lang of authorizing the illegal seizure of suspected terrorists and handing them over for torture by the CIA—a war crime. The controversy brings reporters and protesters swarming to the island mansion where Lang is staying with his wife, Ruth, and his personal assistant (and mistress), Amelia. As The Ghost works, he begins to uncover clues suggesting his predecessor may have stumbled on a dark secret linking Lang to the CIA—and that somehow this information is hidden in the manuscript he left behind. Was Lang in the service of the American intelligence agency while he was prime minister? And was The Ghost’s predecessor murdered because of the appalling truth he uncovered?

Resonating with topical themes, this atmospheric and suspenseful political thriller is a story of deceit and betrayal on every level— sexual, political and literary. In a world in which nothing, and no one, is as it seems, The Ghost quickly discovers that the past can be deadly—and that history is decided by whoever stays alive to write it.
