My Take Radio

Looks like M. Night Shya­malan is not think­ing about the four ele­ments any­more. Good, hope­fully the sequel will be picked up by some­one with tal­ent. A hor­ror movie where the main action seems to be in an ele­va­tor looks like pure crap­tas­tic­ness. But hey, at least it’s not in 3D – or is that the twist?

Dis­ney has always had a phe­nom­e­nal track record with ani­mated fea­tures but their live action movies are always hit and miss. For every Pirates Of The Caribbean there is a Herbie:Fully Loaded or a Flub­ber to undo their mas­ter­pieces. Their newest fea­ture bor­rows from the famous Fan­ta­sia short “The Sorcerer’s Appren­tice” in name only. Nico­las Cage and Jay Baruchel play the duo of sor­cerer and appren­tice. While their chem­istry is there it does feel like Cage is just in it for the quick pay day to pay for his pyra­mid tomb. I think Dis­ney will put every effort into mak­ing this a fran­chise since Pirates is get­ting ready to wrap up.

Do you think hobo Nic Cage and the nerd from every teen angst movie in the last six months have the tools to make this film successful?

So how I don’t see that happening!

I watched this trailer ear­lier today and I have mixed feel­ings about it sim­ply because on one end it looks like every other teen slasher film,but on the other hand it has a Misery-like vibe to it that has got my atten­tion. Will I go a the­ater for this ?Prob­a­bly not,but it is on my radar to check out for sure. Thoughts? Share them below.

IGN  & Trailer Addict came through this morn­ing with a new Machete trailer. I can write a few para­graphs dis­cussing how awe­some it is and why you should see it but I’ll just let you guys watch the awe­some­ness yourselves.

Sequelitis strikes again! The orig­i­nal Para­nor­mal Activ­ity was made with a bud­get of $15,000 and went on to gross over $150 mil­lion world­wide all while pro­vid­ing some gen­uine thrills and a whole lot of shaky cam footage. Sim­i­lar­i­ties can be made between Para­nor­mal Activ­ity and another “real­ity based” hor­ror film. A for­got­ten gem called The Blair Witch Project did every­thing Para­nor­mal Activ­ity did, but fell into the trap of chang­ing the for­mula and peo­ple hat­ing the follow-up.Will light­ning strike twice for Para­nor­mal Activity ?

So now that Robert De Niro has become a shadow of his for­mer self it really was inevitable that we would have to endure another stu­pid Fock­ers movie.Obviously by the title you can see that Greg & Pam Focker are now par­ents and of course De Niro and his wife come to visit and hilar­ity ensues.

I sin­cerely hope this is the last we see of this fran­chise. What the f **k hap­pened to Stiller and De Niro for that mat­ter! Stiller used to be at least mod­er­ately amus­ing and De Niro is a leg­end yet in this fran­chise they strive to shit on their lega­cies. Enjoy the trailer at your own risk.

My first mem­ory of the Green Hor­net was when I used to watch the old 1966 Bat­man show on chan­nel 9 on Sun­days. What made the char­ac­ter cool wasn’t so much the Green Hor­net char­ac­ter but Kato who at the time was played by the leg­endary Bruce Lee.I never con­sid­ered Green Hor­net or Kato as stand alone heroes sim­ply because they played sec­ond fid­dle to Bat­man. As I grew up I learned a bit more about the char­ac­ters and real­ized the Green Hor­net had an ori­gin sim­i­lar to Bat­man and wasn’t a com­plete cornball.

In an age of remakes I usu­ally expect the utter worst. After watch­ing this trailer I get the vibe of Pineap­ple Express with cos­tumes. Seth Rogen lost a ton of weight and looks cred­i­ble as the lead but it seems that his char­ac­ter is an after thought and Kato is the one tak­ing cen­ter stage. I found what I saw amus­ing but I am not sure this char­ac­ter will trans­late well to the big screen treatment.

What do you guys think

Of course it’s in 3-D. Well, Wesker seems to be an inter­est­ing addition.

Credit goes to the always awe­some Trail­er­ad­dict. I don’t know if truly loathe this yet but I do feel a lit­tle creeped out by it.

I had been on the fence the major­ity of the day think­ing if I should post this trailer. It seems that some­one wants to bring back Mor­tal Kom­bat and change the pre­sen­ta­tion from video game fod­der to blood, real­is­tic, hype machine . While the core sto­ries are there, it seems that the direc­tion they want to go in is more sin­is­ter and vio­lent as opposed to the pre­vi­ous hokey films (Look­ing at you Mor­tal Kombat:Annihilation). Michael Jai White plays the role of Jax or in this case police cap­tain Jack­son Briggs and Jeri Ryan joins him as Sonya Blade. I have already seen the “hard­core” fans aka video game purists shit­ting on this con­cept and com­par­ing it to CSI and any generic Cin­e­max action flick,but maybe in order for MK to be rel­e­vant you need to make some tweaks and maybe bring it into the now instead of milk­ing the sto­ry­line tits of pre­vi­ous Mor­tal Kom­bat games.  This promo has been every­where and I think the buzz will dic­tate where this project goes from here.

Are you guys ready for a more grown up and vio­lent Mor­tal Kombat?
