1st Impressions: Robert Rodriguez’s Predators:Trailer
by Rich on Mar.19, 2010, under Movie Trailers, Movies
A few days ago I posted a sneak peek at the upcoming reimagining of the Predator mythos and while most people seemed to like the overall concept some of my listeners felt that they went beyond typical storytelling and did not represent the franchise accurately. Here is the official trailer which give a bit more footage than the sneak peak along with a poster. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below or in the forum.
1st Impression: Robert Rodriguez’s Predators
by Rich on Mar.14, 2010, under Movie Trailers
The Predator films have been a guilty pleasure of mine for a long time, from the battles with Schwarzenegger and Glover, to the two films battling the Aliens. The Predators themselves have always had a unique presentation to movie fans because they really are anti-heroes and there are times you actually end up rooting for them.When Robert Rodriguez announced his intent to reboot the franchise there was a part of me that was concerned because of the casting that was involved, but as I researched the film more, I enjoyed the concept Rodriguez was using. In this new interpretation human “Predators” and cold blooded killers are taken to a planet which serves as a Predator hunting ground and, of course, it becomes survival of the fittest. I feel that the Predator books as well as the films always focused on the hunting of the strongest prey, and this film continues to enforce that. Here is your sneak peek at the Robert Rodriguez’s Predators.
1st Impression: Iron Man 2 — Second Trailer
by Rich on Mar.10, 2010, under Movie Trailers, Movies
Iron Man 2 is due in theatres in two months, and this new trailer makes me appreciate the work that Jon Favreau has put into this franchise. Of course the big sell is the onscreen debut of War Machine — now played by Don Cheadle, who replaced Terrence Howard. We can’t forget the Black Widow as well, who looks like she will make things interesting for Mr. Stark.
Mickey Rourke and the always awesome Sam Rockwell are your villains from what we’ve seen so far. Rourke will play Whiplash (who may or may not also become Crimson Dynamo) and Rockwell is criminal mastermind and businessman Justin Hammer.
Iron Man 2 looks like it has the right spark to start the new summer blockbuster season and quite frankly I wouldn’t have it any other way.
1st Impression:Tekken Trailer
by Rich on Jan.15, 2010, under Movie Trailers, Movies
As a fighting game & martial arts enthusiast, I try to support both genres respectively. Every time one of my favorite fighting game franchises makes the jump to the silver screen, I am there, popcorn in hand with the hopes of being entertained and finally seeing a real life film imitate something I enjoy.
For years, I have endured the good ( Mortal Kombat 1) , the bad ( Mortal Kombat 2), and the awful ( Street Fighter-Legend of Chun-Li) in terms of fighting games jumping to the silver screen. The newest challenger is the film based on the Namco Tekken franchise. With a decent cast and a semi-accurate story, I think that maybe they got it right (somewhat). This interpretation of Tekken follows Jin Kazama as he battles his way through the tournament.

1st Impression: Edge Of Darkness Trailer
by Rich on Jan.13, 2010, under Movie Trailers, Movies
Let’s start off by saying that I have been a fan of Mel Gibson’s for a long time. Whenever he has done thrillers and period pieces he seems at his strongest. “Edge Of Darkness” takes Mel back to those thriller roots we know him so well for. His performance in this movie borrows from movies like Ransom, Taken and Payback in terms of pace and ferocity.
Gibson plays Detective Thomas Craven, a man whose daughter is brutally killed in his home. Craven thinks she was killed because of his police work. However, her murder is a part of something far bigger and far more dangerous.
I am glad to see that Mel Gibson is returning back to his successful roots. I will be going to check this out for sure.
