Battle: Los Angeles (trailer 2)

Second trailer for Battle: Los Angeles. This shows us a whole lot more action compared to the teaser trailer.

Your Highness

The cast of this film is enough reason for me to see this. It stars James Franco, Natalie Portman & Zooey Deschanel. And yeah, Danny Mcbride isn't too bad also.

Battle: Los Angeles

On March 3, 2011, the battle for Los Angeles begins. Seems to be like another alien invasion movie where earth fights back. The trailer looks like Independence Day meets Black Hawk Down. It looks pretty cool.(Just realized that Independence Day was released 14 years ago. Gosh I am old!)

The King's Speech

The Oscar race is underway. And the leaders of the pack are The Social Network, The Fighter and The King's Speech. I've watched the first two movies mentioned. I am still waiting for this one. So looking forward to this. I thought The Social Network and The Fighter were excellent films. I assume this one is going to be excellent as well. Plus, it would be great if Colin Firth would snag the Best Actor award for this.

Cowboys & Aliens

Jon Favreau! Good actor and awesome director. He directed Iron Man 1 and 2. Sadly he won't be directing the third Iron Man film. He opted to pursue directing other feature films. Which isn't so bad. He's a talented director who wishes to stretch his creative wings. As a glimpse of the awesome movies we can expect from Jon Favreau in the future. Here is the trailer for Cowboys & Aliens. What's it about? Well the title speaks for itself.

True Grit

The nominees for the 2011 Gloden Globes was recently announced. And they showed no love for this film. It was snubbed and got no nominations. Not sure why, but I did read somewhere that this will still be a contender for the Oscars. We'll just have to wait and see I guess.

This film is adapted from a 1968 novel of the same name. It's the 2nd time it's been made into a movie. The first movie was released in 1969 and starred John Wayne in a role that won him an Oscar for Best Actor. The updated version now stars last years Best Actor winner Jeff Bridges. Along with Oscar nominees Matt Damon & Josh Brolin. Getting positive reviews for her performance as well is 14 year old actress Hailee Steinfeld.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon

Also in 2011. Transformers 3! They've titled this installment as Dark of the Moon. Don't really have high hopes with this one. Revenge of the Fallen really sucked! Michael Bay said it didn't turn out so good due to the writers strike. We'll they can't use that excuse on this one. They have major repair to do with this franchise. It's make it or break it time for the Transformers.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

The trailers for movies to look forward to in 2011 just keep rolling in. Pirates of the Caribbean is setting sail again for a fourth installment. I love the first three and so I had my fears with this one. There is such a thing as one sequel too many. I think the Pirates franchise ended on a good note with 'At Worlds Ends'. I didn't want the series to be ruined by an unnecessary follow up. Plus, Captain Jack Sparrow is on of my all time fave movie characters. But the trailer shows that the Pirates are just getting started. Captain Jack is Back!

Thor & Green Lantern Trailers

Next year, Marvel & DC will be releasing 2 new superhero movies. Marvel presents to you, the God of Thunder, Thor starring Chris Helmsworth. And DC gives us Green Lantern starring Ryan Reynolds.

I'm familiar with both heroes. I love the actors they picked to play the parts. I've been waiting for this movies to be made since I was young. But I had my doubts on whether they would do a good job with the movies. I found it hard to imagine how they could make these two movies appealing and cool. After looking at the trailers. My doubts are gone. So excited to see these films next year.

Thor




Green Lantern

New Sucker Punch Trailer

The new trailer is awesome! So looking forward to this film. :)

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 Trailer

Awesome awesome trailer! I'm a whole lot more excited for Deathly Hallows 1 now. Can't wait!

Possible Oscar 2011 Contenders

The Toronto film festival concluded recently. And based on history, some films that are well received here went on to become Oscar Contenders. Films like 'American Beauty' and 'Slumdog Millionaire' which premiered at the festival went on to win Best Picture in the Oscars.

Here are some films that were well received and the possible nominations they may get in the Oscars.

The Black Swan
Possible Nominations: Best Actress(Natalie Portman)



127 Hours
Possible Nominations: Best Actor(James Franco)


Hereafter
Possible Nominations:Best Picture, Best Actor(Matt Damon), Best Director(Clint Eastwood)



Unfortunately, I couldn't find a trailer for the big winner in the festival. "The
King's Speech" is said to be a definite contender for Best Picture and Best Actor(Colin Firth). I'll post the trailer here should I find one.

The Fighter - Trailer

I heard about this movie being made some time ago. It stars Mark Whalberg, Christian Bale and Amy Adams. It's a real life underdog story of a boxer(Whalberg) and his brother(Bale).

Looks like it's not a typical boxing movie. Seems there's a lot of drama involved in this movie too. And I can't believe how frighteningly thin Christian Bale is in this one.

The Tourist - Trailer

Starring Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp. Looks like a pretty interesting film. It's nice to see Johnny Depp in this kind of movie.

Sucker Punch - Trailer

Don't know much about this film except that it's directed by Zack Snyder. The guy who directed 300, Watchmen and upcoming Legend of Guardians. The trailer is pretty cool!

Red - Trailer 2

2nd Trailer for RED. Apparently RED stands for Retired Extremely Dangerous.

Tron Legacy - Trailer

Here's the new trailer for Tron Legacy which debuted at the San Diego Comic con. It's pretty cool. It has more action in it.

The Social Network - full trailer

Some time back I posted the teaser trailer for The Social Network. Being a teaser and all, it didn't really tell us much except that it's a film about the makers of facebook.

Well, here now is the full trailer. And it looks to be a pretty interesting film. On a side note. Andrew Garfield is also in the film. In case you didn't know, he's the new Spider-Man.

Red - Trailer

Bruce Willis is not getting any younger. Though he's aged considerably since Die Hard. I still think he can pull off starring in action movies. In this one, it's nice to see he's embracing the fact that he is getting old. He plays a retired CIA agent who having a hard time adjusting to retirement.

Red is an action comedy starring Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Karl Urban, Mary Louise Parker and Helen Mirren. May I say that I just love the cast. Nice to see Mary Louise Parker in this type of movie. But the real thrill here is Helen Mirren. She won the Best Actress Oscar a couple of years back for the Queen. And in this one she kicks ass. From playing a royal to carrying a big gun and bringing hell. I don't know about you, but only a great actress can pull that off.

Machete - Trailer

What started out as a fake trailer that was shown in Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantinos's Grindhouse is now a full length movie.

Not sure what to make of this. But the scene where he's in a motor cycle with a gun installed in the handle is freakin awesome. And the star studded cast is a good reason to see this. Plus, it's nice to see Danny Trejo to finally have a movie of his own.

Machete hits theaters in September and stars Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez, Jessica Alba, Robert De Niro, Cheech Marin, Jeff Fahey, Don Johnson and Steven Seagal.
