Trailer: Will Ferrell & Zach Galiafinakis in 'The Campaign'
"Is anyone asking how my hand feels after punching that iron-like jaw of that baby?"
Looks like Will Ferrell's mind had a Ricky Bobby/George Bush baby and came up with Cam Brady, while Zack Galifianakis' made up twin Seth got his own movie.
I'll still see it.

Red Band Trailer: Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, & Jonah Hill in "The Watch"
For a red band trailer with 3 of my favorite comedic actors, I was expecting this to be better. And who the hell is the 4th guy? They couldn't get Will Ferrell to fill in?
Interesting fact: This film was originally titled 'Neighborhood Watch', but was renamed after the Trayvon Martin tragedy.
'The Watch' hits theaters on July 27th.

Trailer: 'Call Of Duty Black Ops 2'... Future is Scary As Hell
Ok... so I'm bending the rules a bit here. 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 2' is not a movie perse', though some would argue that its cinematic experience is every bit as exhilerating as any Hollywood blockbuster.
'Black Ops 2' starts in the 80s and follows through to 2025, where the US is on the brink of World War with China over precious metals. The story comes from the creative mind of David Goyer, who developed the stories behind films like 'Batman Begins', 'The Dark Knight', and the forcoming Superman flick, 'Man of Steel'. Game developer also enlisted Peter Singer of the Brookings Institution to keep the technology and warfare seen in the game grounded in reason for a realistic picture of the future. I am actually rather frightened by this trailer; it harkens back to the days when I saw the grim view of Judgment Day during 'Terminator 2'... there's a fine line between realistic entertainment spectacle and genuine fear of what's ahead...
In any case, I'm not much of a gamer anymore, but it's hard to deny the entertainment sensation that is the Call of Duty franchise. 'Black Ops 2" hits shelves on November 13, 2012.

Trailer: Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight Rises'
Now this is what I BEEN sayin'.
This new trailer, which I believe is going to be playing before 'The Avengers' IMAX this weekend, amps up the hype machine for summer's (and perhaps the year's) most anticipated film.
Some footage from the breathtaking prologue is used, some shots from previous trailers as well, but this is a lot of new dialogue, some more action set pieces, and gives us a tease of what we're in for come July 20th.
AND We can now understand what the hell Bane is talking about, which is good. Call me crazy, but is anyone a bit sad that Batman is a broken man in this one??
My level of excitement for this flick is as high as it can possibly get. How about you?

Featurette/Trailer: Ridley Scott's 'Prometheus' Will Make Your Brain Explode in Anticipation
I'm trying desperately to avoid any further footage of this movie, and haven't even watched the new 3-minute trailer I included below. I couldn't help myself with this relatively benign featurette though. I must say, the marketing department behind this movie deserves a serious golf clap. 'Prometheus' now rivals 'The Dark Knight Rises' as my most anticipated movie of the summer.
'Prometheus' hits theaters in 2D, IMAX, & IMAX 3D on June 8th.

Michael Fassbender is a Robot... New 'Prometheus' Viral Video
This viral marketing for Ridley Scott's new 'Alien' prequel-ish flick, 'Prometheus', has me freaked out. Now that I know Fassbender is an android in this movie, his stoic appearances in the trailer (below) make more sense. The viral vid is interesting and creepy as hell, and I am absolutely PUMPED for this movie.
'Prometheus' stars the likes of Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce ('Memento') and Idris Elba (Stringer Bell on 'The Wire'), and is directed by Ridley Scott, the legendary director behind blockbusters like 'Gladiator', 'Black Hawk Down', 'Blade Runner', and obviously, 'Alien'. The script was co-written by Damon Lindelof, co-creator of 'Lost', so you know this flick is going to be ridiculous.
'Prometheus' hits theaters in IMAX 3D on June 8th.
Gotta love the *BRAHHHMM* sounds made famous by Hans Zimmer in 'Inception'.

Trailer: Joseph Gordon Levitt & Bruce Willis in Time-Travel Actioner, "Looper"
"This time travel crap... it fries your brain like an egg."
Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays a hitman Bruce Willis from the past. Or does Bruce play Gordon-Levitt from the future? And they're both trying to kill each other? No matter who succeeds, doesn't that erase both of them from existence? I'll be honest, I've been baffled by this time travel stuff since 'T2: Judgment Day'.
Here's Sony's synopsis:
Here's Sony's synopsis:
'Looper' also stars Jeff Daniels, who is always awesome, and Emily Blunt, who I thought was phenomenal in 'Adjustment Beurau'.In the futuristic action thriller Looper, time travel will be invented – but it will be illegal and only available on the black market. When the mob wants to get rid of someone, they will send their target 30 years into the past, where a “looper” – a hired gun, like Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) – is waiting to mop up. Joe is getting rich and life is good… until the day the mob decides to “close the loop,” sending back Joe’s future self (Bruce Willis) for assassination.
