Movies - Extended "Bourne Ultimatum" Trailer

"Here is an extended trailer for the upcoming third installment in the "Bourne" franchise, entitled "The Bourne Ultimatum." In it, we get to see lots of new scenes, which include amazing action sequences, plot details and the new characters that appear in the film.

In the movie, still suffering from amnesia and determined to finally learn of his true identity, Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) is lured out of hiding to make contact with a journalist named Simon Ross, who has been following his story. Throughout his research, Ross has gathered up valuable information about Bourne and Treadstone, the organization that trained him.

Director Paul Greengrass, who took over for Doug Liman after the first part, is looking to release the film on August 3rd."

Fantastic trailer. Looks to be another great "Bourne" film, I'm looking forward to it.

Movies - Extended "Sunshine" Trailer

"Here is a very detailed trailer for the upcoming Danny Boyle (28 Days Later) film, entitled "Sunshine." The story takes place in the future, during which the Sun is dying, along with the Earth. The only hope is to send a team of astronauts to detonate a massive, highly energetic bomb and restore the Sun's natural state.

The trailer is a bit too extended, showing lots of revealing scenes and more information than I would like before heading to the theater. However, I believe it got its point across, as it looks like an extremely tense, emotional and character driven sci-fi film.

Boyle re-unites with Cillian Murphy on "Sunshine," but has also brought on Chris Evans (Fantastic Four), Michelle Yeoh and Cliff Curtis to round out the cast. After many delays, the film has finally settled on July 20th as its release date."

I'm really excited to see this movie, I just hope this trailer didn't give away too much for me, it was rather detailed and perhaps a bit too long. Still an excellent trailer, just might have given away too much of the plot and events of the film.

Video Games - New 'Grand Theft Auto IV' Trailer


"Rockstar has released a new trailer for its imminent controversy fodder, Grand Theft Auto IV. The new trailer, Looking for the special someone, shows some more details of our European hero's search for his missing family member in Liberty City. It looks fantastic and pretty damn intriguing, possibly the most story driven GTA yet? Judging by this trailer, it certainly seems like the plot will be an epic one."

Looking good, can't wait to play this game. Enjoy the second GTA IV trailer above.

Movies - Intense "Eastern Promises" Trailer

"Here is the violent trailer for the upcoming David Cronenberg film "Eastern Promises." The story is of a mysterious and ruthless man (Viggo Mortensen), who is tied to one of London's most notorious organized crime families. His carefully maintained existence is jarred when he crosses paths with an innocent midwife (Naomi Watts) trying to right a wrong.

The trailer starts out with Watts getting her hands on a girl's diary. In an attempt to return it, she comes across the Russian mafia. You have to love Mortensen's Russian accent; it's dead on.

"Eastern Promises" re-unites Mortensen with Cronenberg after the 2005 "A History of Violence." Joining the cast is also the amazing French actor Vincent Cassel, who you might know from "Derailed" and "Ocean's Twelve." "Eastern Promises" hits theaters on
September 14th, in limited release."

I am a big fan of David Cronenberg, with films like "Videodrome", "The Fly", and recently "A History of Violence", I'm expecting big things from this movie. I'm loving the cast, Viggo Mortensen is just so amazing. The trailer looks superb, check it out below.

Music - Interpol "The Heinrich Maneuver" Video

"OK, so we just got around to checking out the new video for Interpol’s single, “The Heinrich Maneuver.” When watching it, don’t freak out and think that time has slowed down, as the clip really is at that speed. We won’t spoil the ending for you, but when the chick gets… wait… just watch it for yourself. We’re looking forward to getting this on DVD where we can speed it up to real time. Their latest album, Our Love To Admire, hits stores on July 10. "

"The Heinrich Maneuver"


Directed by E. Elias Merhige, "The Heinrich Maneuver" is the first single from Interpol's third album, Our Love to Admire. A lot of people seem to hate the video, but I personally like it. I also enjoy the song a lot, even more than the other three tracks I heard from the new album. Enjoy.

Movies - Stylish "Blood Brothers" (Tian tang kou) trailers

"There are two trailers for Tian tang kou (Blood Brothers) from Alexi Tan that have caught my eye. The film is set in Shanghai during the 1930's and is inspired by John Woo's classic film Bullet in the Head.

It's a slick looking film with some strong action and some extremely stylish looking shots and it promises to try to be an epic film. It does look great. The cast looks strong too, something that you can see from the trailer itself. Not only is Alexi Tan helming, but John Woo and Terence Chang are producing.

The trailer is over at the Blood Brothers official site through Cinemasie and Twitch"

I came across these trailers the other day, no other movie blog sites I visit posted them which was odd. Anyway, I never heard of this movie before, but the trailers look very good. I'm a big fan of Asian cinema and this film looks like it's going to be great.

Movies - Tarantino to make "Kill Bill" 3 and 4

"According to Bennett Walsh, an executive producer of both "Kill Bill" movies, the plots for two more movies have been shaped and there is a chance that director Quentin Tarantino may return to China to shoot them.

Walsh said that the third film involves the revenge of two killers whose arms and eyes were hacked by Uma Thurman in the first stories. While, the fourth installment concerns a cycle of reprisals and daughters who avenge their mother's deaths.

At this point, it is not clear whether the scripts for the films are complete or how soon Tarantino plans to begin shooting. Last we heard, he was planning "Inglorious Bastards" as his next project."

Awesome news, though Tarantino is notorious for talking about tons of upcoming projects; most of which never happen. I'm a huge fan of the "Kill Bill" movies and I would be very excited to see two more; the plot details he announced sound great. The third film being about the revenge of two of the mutilated victims of the Crazy 88’s from the awesome House of Blue Leaves scene in Kill Bill Vol. 1, and the fourth film being about the daughters of Beatrix Kiddo and Vernita Green. The whole idea of the fourth film, with the battle of the two daughters, Tarantino has mentioned wanting to do before. Overall great news, I would like to see these films get made.
