Toy Story 3: First look Scene

I've seen the first two toy stories and they were Pixar perfection.  I have no doubt that this third one will be just as ballin for people of all ages.  I'm excited.  There's going to be dramarama in this one.  It appears that this movie is kind of the opposite of the 2nd.  In the second Woody gets sold and everyone else tries to save him.  In this movie, the other toys are accidently thrown out and Woody has to save them.

Title: Toy Story 3
Release Date: 18 June 2010
Genre: Animation
Cast: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, John Ratzenberger, Joan Cusack, Michael Keaton
Director: Lee Unkrich

Plot:
Woody, Buzz, and the rest of their toy-box friends are dumped in a day-care center after their owner, Andy, departs for college.


Check out the Scene

I will most likely see this in theatres and I will probably have a movie marathon before it.

Kick-Ass - Hit Girl: Trailer

Holy Shnikees!  This trailer is frickin awesome!  Maybe it's the fact that a little kid is kicking the shit out of bad guys, or the fact that she is cursing up a storm.  I don't know but it get's my blood pumping.  Check out this trailer (Warning:  It is a mature trailer so youngins shouldn't watch) you will not regret it.  I would like to clarify that Hit Girl is just one character in the movie and not the main character, though she might be my favorite because of this trailer.

Hit Girl

Release Date: 16 April 2010
Genre: Action | Comedy
Cast: Nicolas Cage, Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Mark Strong, Lyndsy Fonseca
Director: Matthew Vaughn
Writers: Jane Goldman, Mark Millar
Studio: Lionsgate

Plot:
Dave Lizewski is an unnoticed high school student and comic book fan who one day decides to become a super-hero, even though he has no powers, training or meaningful reason to do so.


I want to see this movie already.  I will definitely see this in theatres.  I just showed the trailer to my brother and he says it looks weird.  He doesn't want to see it.  I guess guys just can't handle a women in charge.

Daybreakers - Scenes

The world has this crazy obsession with Vampires right now.  Don't quite get it.  I mean I get the Twilight thing cause that's tween love at it's best.  Now everything is vampire this, Vampire that.  It's almost exhausting.  Daybreakers seems like an interesting story.  Humans escaping the growing vampire population.  I've found a few scenes.  There are good and bad things about releasing scenes.  The good is that you feel like you get to know characters a little bit better before you see them in theatres.  The bad, they don't always portray the movie the best way out of context and when you actually see the movie they can be annoying to re-watch.  I recommend that you watch the scenes in order.


Release Date: 8 January 2010
Genre: Action | Horror
Cast: Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe
Director: Michael Spierig, Peter Spierig, Isabel Lucas, Claudia Karvan
Writer: Michael Spierig, Peter Spierig
Studio: Lionsgate

Plot:
In the year 2019, a plague has transformed most every human into vampires. Faced with a dwindling blood supply, the fractured dominant race plots their survival; meanwhile, a researcher works with a covert band of vamps on a way to save humankind.


The Accident

Birthday Party

Attack!

It's got an interesting plot.  It reminds me of the Matrix only with vampires.  I liked the Matrix, but I could see this movie becoming extremely corny.  They will really need to amp up the action on this.  Probably won't see this unless someone else tells me it's awesome.  Let me know what you think in the comments.

The Karate Kid - Trailer

So if you haven't heard Will Smith is doing a remake of the Karate Kid and He is using his son Jaden as the main character, Dre Parker, and Jackie Chan as the Mr. Miyagi figure, Mr. Han.  I have yet to see anything on this, but I just found the trailer.  Should be exciting.  Click the link to see the Trailer.

Watch the Trailer

Release Date: 11 June 2010
Genre: Action | Drama
Cast: Jaden Smith, Jackie Chan, Taraji P. Henson
Director: Harald Zwart
Writer: Michael Soccio

Plot:
Work causes a single mother to move to China with her young son; in his new home, the boy embraces kung fu, taught to him by a master.


The remake isn't an exact copy, but I wasn't sure how they were going to do that anyway.  It seems like they are taking the most important elements and modernizing them, and making the story cross-cultural.  So far what I see I like.  Although there was one part in the trailer where Chan's character says the only way to stop them is to face them.  I'm pretty sure Mr. Miagi would never have said that.  He was the world's ultimate pacifist.  The main character seems a little young to me too.  I mean, Daniel Larusso was a high school kid, Dre Parker is probably just reaching middle school.  I don't know if I will see this in theatres because I don't have an unlimited budget, but I guarantee you that I will see it eventually.

Sex and the City 2: Trailer

So I think that I am going to take this blog in a new direction.  So far I have been only reviewing movies, but from here on out I will also be bringing you trailers and letting you know what I think of them, and whether or not I plan on seeing them.  I will also hopefully have a book review for you soon, so keep your eyes out for Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol.  The first trailer review I bring you is Sex and the City 2.


Check it out:


Now I wasn't much of a show fan.  Actually I am not and never was a fan of the show.  However I did see the 1st movie and was pleasantly surprised by it.  Now that I have seen the trailer I am intrigued by the second movie.  People who get paid the big bucks to make trailers sure are good at what they do.  I think this trailer looks awesome.  It's very sleek and hip.  It will be interesting to see the girls outside of New York.  The whole premise of the show and first movie was finding love IN New York City.  I will probably see this movie.

ROBsessed

Ok, I know what you're thinking.  Why on earth did I watch this?  I got it as a birthday present.  I love R Patz but I probably wouldn't have bought this on my own.

ROBsessed is a documentary of Superstar Robert Pattinson's life.  It has some great photos, good sources and an indepth look at where his fame began.  Believe it or not, this guys story is what every young actor out there dreams about.  One day he's a brooding musician, playing gigs at open mic nights and the next he's Edward Cullen, a heartthrob vampire in one of the world's biggest movie franchises ever.

The documentary pretty much gushes over how pretty he is and how he came from humble beginnings with a taste for dramatic acting and music.  There is no RAW footage of R.Pattz at all.  Neither he nor his family or any of his costars are interviewed.  Some of his early indy directors, a playhouse director and photographers are interviewed, but no one truly close to him.  I was a little disappointed that we didn't actually see R.Pattz in his natural habitat, just had people talking about it.  That being said it is an eye opening documentary in the sense that you do feel like you know him a little bit better by the end.


Rating: 1.0★ stars (out of 5)
Recommendation: Only diehard fans will get real enjoyment out of this documentary.  Buy it only for those who truly are ROBsessed.



Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Three Months out of the year the Trans-Siberian Orchestra goes on tour.  Their show consists of a Christmas based story that is narrated by one of the greatest voices of our time, a deep compelling voice that can lull anyone into a trance, and music accompaniment in the form of Christmas Rock.  There are original songs from the orchestra and remakes of Christmas classics with a rock twist to them.



The show is complete with an excellent light show, beyond excellent vocals, and tons of pyrotechnics.  The fire alarms went off in the arena as everyone was exiting.  That just goes to show you how intense the whole show is.  Crowd participation is important, so be prepared to cheer, holler and cat-call whenever possible.



Rating: 4.0★ stars (out of 5)
Recommendation: This is a great show that's fun for the whole family.  It's rock, but not so hard core that a grandma wouldn't enjoy.  If it comes to your town, see it!  Tickets might get a little costly, but it's worth the 3+ hours of a show that you will get.
