Battleship Poster And Trailer!!

You just sank my battleship!  Anyone remember those old commercials for the popular Milton Bradley game?  It seems to me like they always played around Christmas time.  Yes, I am talking about a full live action movie based off the game. It has been turned into a film folks!  This time around it looks like they are throwing in aliens?  I guess you gotta do something different to keep it interesting right?  I think this trailer looks great but is it too late or too soon since watching Battle Los Angeles?  It stars the great Liam Neeson, Alexander Skarsgard and Rihanna. Yes, I did say Rihanna. It is directed by Peter Berg and premieres next summer. Check out the trailer below and let me know what you think!

WWE News: CM Punk Returns!

After an interesting week in the WWE our newest hero in the wrestling world has returned.  If you didn't catch WWE Raw last night then you missed out.  Rey Mysterio pinned The Miz for the 1,2,3 win and then was booked for the final match of the evening.  Another world championship match against none other than John Cena.  We saw John Cena pin Mysterio and take back the championship in a timely fashion and then this happened.



CM Punk made his return to the WWE and from the sound of the crowd they loved it.  Personally, I have a couple of problems with this.  One, let's go back to Cena beating Mysterio.  Their was a big uproar on the Smackdown brand about Christian winning the world heavyweight title and then losing it in a weeks time to Randy Orton.  Isn't this kind of the same thing?  I totally hail Rey Mysterio as one of the best wrestlers that WWE has and it seems like a farce to do that to him.  In reality could Mysterio even hold his own against Cena?  I am guessing not by sheer size alone but on the plus side I think that their match was a great match overall.  Secondly, I would like to have seen Punk wait it out longer and go rogue for a while.  Have him crash some independent promotions and flash the title around.  Make a mockery of it.  Do something out of the ordinary and less seen than the usual.  I loved how he was partying in the streets with the title earlier in the week.  It is his and he is gone.  But as you all know this isn't exactly real no matter how much we want to believe it is and he has returned and I am guessing this is going to be a title versus title match for the best of the best.  I would like to see WWE premiere a new belt at Summerslam.

The WWE is turned inside out! CM Punk rules!

It has been exactly one week this evening that the current situation of Vince Mcmahons World Wrestling Entertainment also know as WWE has been taken over and thrown on it's head by a man named CM Punk.  The title match was John Cena versus CM Punk for the WWE Championship.  If Cena wins then CM leaves the WWE because his contract was up that evening.  If CM wins then John Cena is fired and Punk leaves the WWE with the championship.  As of tonight, WWE has yet to post any video of the match on Youtube probably because people are still ordering replays on Pay Per View.

From the picture above you probably have figured out that CM Punk won the WWE Championship and high tailed it out of the building with it.  Earlier in the evening Alberto Del Rio won the Money In The Bank match and was called out to ringside by Vince Mcmahon to wrestle and beat Punk and keep the championship in the WWE.  It still wasn't enough as CM Punk knocked out Del Rio.  Punk crawled over the crowd barrier, looked to Mcmahon and then blew him a kiss and disappeared into the crowd of chanting fans.  It looked as if all was over and Cena would be fired the next evening. The video below recaps what happens on Monday Night Raw.



And there you have it! Cena keeps his job and Mcmahon is fired with HHH taking the reign of the WWE. Is this a work? Yes, we know that in reality Mcmahon is still running the company behind the scenes and this is a story line. The big question is what exactly is going on with CM Punk. Would the WWE allow Punk to win the coveted title and run around the world with it?

According to the famed site TMZ, yes they are. The photos above were taken sometime after the match in Chicago. As of last Monday CM Punk is still not part of WWE and a tournament was made for the next WWE Champion which ended up being Rey Mysterio against The Miz. They were to wrestle for the championship before being interrupted by Mcmahon in the previous video. It is still uncertain what WWE's plan is for Punk. This week was the famous San Diego Comic Con and WWE always has a presence with their line of Mattel WWE toys. During a press conference with HHH there was a special visitor.



So what is next for CM Punk and the WWE. This story line really couldn't be any better for all parties involved. WWE is generating buzz and CM Punk has rocketed even more in popularity. In my opinion he has become the voice of the WWE fans. He says what the people want to hear and does what the people want to see. Is this still scripted and is everyone following a generality here? Yes. I am sure they are but it is natural. It is charismatic and off the wall at the same time. It doesn't sound like a guy who memorized the script and fumbles through his words as he speaks. It sound like a guy who is passionate about what he is doing and is rocking the world that he lives in.  CM Punk is being praised around the world by fans and fellow wrestlers alike.  This is a good thing for wrestling fans that are looking for something fresh, new and exciting.  Long live CM Punk!

True Blood Sneak Peak!

We've all been completely taken away by Sookie Stackhouse and her adventures or should I say mis-adventures in Louisiana for the past three years.  We love the blood, we love the women, we love the men and the vampires and the werewolves and the witches and well, you get the picture. We are now 4 episodes deep into the newest season this summer and HBO has been kind enough to share with us a preview of the rest of this years season!  It was also revealed recently that Charlaine Harris will be writing one final Sookie Stackhouse novel to be released in 2012.  I wonder if Sookie will go with Erik or with Bill?  Hmmm, decisions, decisions!  lol Oh wait, maybe she will go with Alcide and fool us all.  Ok, I know what too much about this show.  I swear my wife reads the novels and tells me everything.  Seriously!

SDCC: The Avengers Assembled!

This weekend if you watched Captain America you had the opportunity to see the early trailer for The Avengers.  Along with that, this weekend we saw poster/concept art released at the San Diego Comic Con.  Each poster has one of the avengers drawn on it with a background pertaining to their adventure or alter ego.  You can check out all of the posters assembled below.  Personally, I think Hawkeye and The Hulk look pretty awesome!  Iron Man isn't too shabby either!  Click on the picture to see it in all of it's glory!

SDCC Trailer Premieres!

This weekend brought us the San Diego Comic Con and with that a slew of unveils from the world of Comics, Television and Film.  The first trailer you are about to see is called Knights Of Badassdom.  It stars Peter Dinklage from HBO's Game Of Thrones fame, Ryan Kwanten of True Blood fame and funny man Steve Zahn among others.  If your into LARPING AKA Live Action Role Playing then this funny film is for you!  I always thought this stuff was fake but what happens when it becomes real?



The next film is titled Tucker and Dale Versus Evil.  This is another comedy about two rednecks living out in the woods when a group of rich twenty somethings break down and fear that they are being systematically murdered one by one.  In truth the rednecks are doing nothing but trying to help while the city folk keep making stupid mistakes that cause them to take their own lives.  It stars Alan Tudyk of Firefly and Transformers 3.

New Toys: The Real Ghostbusters Mini-Mates!

As most of you know, I am a big collector of Ghostbuster merchandise.  I currently own pieces from the 1980's all the way up to products that are being made today. Diamond Select currently makes toys called Mini-Mates. They are basically glorified Lego men.  They are highly detailed and crafted after characters in the Ghostbusters universe.  I had the chance today to visit my local Toys 'R Us and purchase some Mini-Mates from The Real Ghostbusters cartoon line.  You can check them out below.

The Amazing Spiderman Teaser Trailer!

Here it is!  The teaser trailer for The Amazing Spiderman!  This is the 2012 Sony Pictures reboot starring Andrew Garfield as Mr. Spidey and Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy.  What, no Mary Jane in this flick?  I'm not sure what to think about it.  It is a different take than previous films in the Spiderman series.  Why didn't Peter Parker live with his mom and dad?  I don't remember now and Martin Sheet as his uncle and Sally Field as Aunt May. Interesting stuff for sure!  Is that Dennis Leary as Gwen Stacy's dad?  Can we get over not seeing Tobey Maguire donning the red and blue tights?  Someone else referred the final scene in the trailer likening the video game Mirrors Edge.  The teaser can be seen below so enjoy!
