  • Trailer: Tron Legacy

    // March 10th, 2010 // No Comments » // Movies


    In the year 1982, Disney came out with a little film called Tron. Despite the primitive graphics, Tron was a science-fiction epic ahead of its time. Nevertheless, the name may be new to some of today’s younger generation. To recap:


    Kevin Flynn was a software engineer working for the corporation ENCON. He’s managed to produce a game that has the potential to, as the trailer proclaims, change science, medicine, and even religion. Everything is going just peachy until the day Flynn finds himself locked in the system…


    Twenty-five years later, Sam Flynn must confront the mystery of his father’s sudden appearance. And it looks as if the virtual universe of Tron has received a few…upgrades.


    Having starred in Tron twenty-eight years ago, there couldn’t be anyone more appropriate than Jeff Bridges to play the role of Kevin Flynn. And who else but Daft Punk could pull off the soundtrack? Join Disney this coming December for the 3D adventure of a lifetime.


  • Trailer: The Messenger

    Is it really fair to classify Oren Moverman’s The Messenger as something resembling a ‘heart-wrencher?’


    In the story, Will Montgomery (Ben Foster) and Anthony Stone (Woody Harrelson) breathe new life into a classic juxtaposition of old military versus new. Harrelson portrays a hardened veteran who has resolved to deliver death notices. He trains Montogomery – recently back from service – in the methodical and robotic disposition necessary to carry out the job. He wants Will to remain – like himself – soulless. At first, Montgomery maintains a similar killing-machine attitude that allowed him to survive in the army. But widows are not insurgents–insurgents do not cry, shout, beg or plead. Montgomery is confronted with emotions he has ultimately been trained to push away.


    And slowly but surely Montgomery’s job eats away at his stoic demeanor. Deprived of all emotional support as a soldier and still recovering from the shock of war, Will isn’t allowed to recover any semblance of his former self. As the death notices pile up, Will’s steely resolve begins to crumble. That is, until he meets Olivia Pitterson (Samantha Morton). Knocking a final dent in Will’s armor, The Messenger becomes a heart-wrenching sob story while maintaining valuable post-war commentary. Having made it past Sundance and the Berlin Film Festival, The Messenger will be hitting the big screens November 13th. Make sure to see this award-winning epic when the time comes.

  • Trailer: Inception

    inception


    Christopher Nolan is back with his first film since the epic that was The Dark Knight. And it seems that the eeriness we’ve come to expect from Nolan will once again be a driving force. Titled Inception, the trailer is marked by Nolan’s notorious slow zooms and dramatic chords. But all we really know at this point is that the story takes place in a city, Leonardo will be making an appearance, and something about a dradle. Interesting. July 16, 2010 is the date. Expect to be teased a bit more in the months to come.


  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

    Modern Warfare 2


    Call of Duty and first person shooter have become nearly synonymous terms in today’s video game world. Hailed an epic shooter by consumers worldwide, Modern Warfare 1 propelled the series to new heights. But subsequent complications over the direction of the series (historical warfare vs. modern warfare) triggered the fifth, less renowned installment: World at War. Now, two years after Call of Duty’s first epic staple, Modern Warfare is back. Are you as pumped as we are?


    With night-vision goggles in the prestige edition, custom characters and classes, and a newly-incorporated RPG aspect, Modern Warfare 2 seems to have received a serious makeover. Want more endurance? Do a little sprinting. Need some iron lungs? Hold your breath while you’re sniping—you’ll get an adrenaline rush. Featuring updated armor, new clothing and a wider array of weapons, Modern Warfare 2 sounds like it’s going to set the bar once again. Pre-order it now at GameStop.


    Keep patient a bit longer and you’ll wake up with a Christmas morning feeling on November the 10th—official release date for installment number six.


    Check out the trailer below for a preview of things to come.

    The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

    Terry Gilman, director of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, is back with a new film. In addition to providing a final nostalgic performance from Heath Ledger, Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus looks simply fascinating. Oddly enough, Ledger shares his role (Tony) with three other actors: Johnny Depp, Collin Farell and Jude Law. An impressive lineup to be sure, but how about those visuals? (See 0:30 as Ledger jumps from one floating platform to another.) Push play to share in our excitement.
