Mad Max Fury Road Trailer!!

WOW WOW WOW!  Ok, like all of you I was kinda bummed about Mel Gibson not being in this movie.  It was one of those things where you were kinda expecting it but hoping at the same time that he would go one last round with the a new horde of apocalyptic bad asses.  Instead, we get Tom Hardy (Bane from The Dark Knight Rises) in the titular role of Max and also returning is Hugh Keays-Byrne.  You won't recognize Hugh in this movie but you may recognize him from the first Mad Max film as the big baddie Toecutter.  I'm honestly pretty stoked about this film.  I was hyped to begin with and after watching the first teaser for this film last summer I was in.  Now Warner Bros. has released a full trailer and i'm ready to give them my movie.  A must see film for 2015!

This Is The End Unrated Trailer!

Some of the funniest films I have seen in the past few years have been the likes of: Knocked Up, Superbad and Pineapple Express starring the famous crew to the poster on your left.  Seth Rogen, James Franco, Danny Mcbride and Jonah Hill, among many other talented actors, have skyrocketed themselves into instant comedic hilarity!  Now they have done it again! Coming this summer is a new film from the famous group titled "This Is The End".  This time around our favorite actors play themselves in the "real world" when a un-wordly catastrophe takes over the city of Los Angeles.  Perhaps an alien invasion??  This looks like it's going to be another very funny flick!  I have embedded the amazingly funny trailer below but be aware it is the red-band trailer and includes violence and foul language.

World War Z Poster and First Footage!

Here is your first sneak peak at Brad Pitt's new film "World War Z".  From what I understand this about a zombie epidemic happening all around the world.  I don't know much but my wife has read the book and is a big fan of Max Brooks, the author.  I have been reading on other sites and from my wife's first look at this footage that it looks like it really has nothing to do with the book.  Kind of a bummer if that is true.  The zombies almost kinda remind me of the creatures from I Am Legend.  I don't think that their is a release date for this film yet other than sometime in 2013. The full trailer will be released tomorrow sometime.

Quick Review: Total Recall 2012 Version

So I finally got the chance to check out the remake of the legit old school Arnold Shwarzenegger film, Total Recall. This film stars a couple of good actors in Colin Farrel and Kate Beckinsale.  It was directed by Beckinsale's hubby, Len Wiseman.  This movie is pretty much a complete remake of the original.  It swaps in some elements from the original such as the planet Mars.  The story involves 2 different colonies like the original but stays on Earth.  Yes, you get the 3 breasted woman.  Why though?  Wasn't she a mutant in the original?  Honestly, I fell asleep through this movie.  That's not to say that it wasn't good.  Does it live up to the original?  Do they ever?  No, this does not.  It's probably worth a rental or catch it later on HBO or something.  Check out the trailer below.

Quick Review: Spiderman 2012

I had the opportunity to recently see this film and just had to write a "quick review".  What I mean by that is that I am basically going to give you my two cents on the film and a recommendation for or against the thing.  In the past I have spent a lot of time covering many different aspects of films that perhaps readers just weren't interested in reading?

Ok, so here we go, The Amazing Spiderman.  If MTV or Nickelodeon had won the rights to the beloved Spiderman library and made a film about it in their own take then you would have this film.  This film is geared towards the younger generation and plays out like a beefed up after school special.  We have all grown up and personally loved Tobey Maguire in the previous films so why Sony felt like they had to go and change everything out is a mystery to me.

The best actor in this film to me is Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy.  She is easy on the eyes and a joy to watch in this film.  Andrew Garfield is a no named actor that really doesn't fill the tights to play the role of Peter Park/Spiderman.  I hate to sound mean but in my opinion he was a bad choice. Our evil baddy, The Lizard, is a CGI mess and makes me wonder where all the money went into making this film.  The story overall was ok.  It is once again another "re-imagining" of the story we saw years earlier in the original Spiderman.  We have been there and done that and frankly I don't think people are that interested in visiting this story once again so soon.

If you have nothing else to watch then check this out on PPV or on demand where ever you may be.  Trust me you will get tired of it quick and wonder why you wasted your money.  That is unless you have young teenage girls in your house then I am sure they will love it.

Ebay Store: Enter The Toy Box

So everyone knows that I am a huge toy and pop culture fan. I have decided to jump into seeing if I could sell some of toys online through Ebay.  Lately I have been purchasing large amounts of toys, especially TMNT toys.  It's getting harder and harder to find the items that I don't have and when I do I have to buy the whole lot so I thought I would start listing some of my doubles and odds and ends that I have laying around.  You can click on the photos above to visit my store.  My store is called "The Toy Box".  A fitting name indeed I think!

Hollywood Treasure

I just wanted to briefly talk about a very cool show on television.  I thought this show would be fitting for this site because of how big of a movie fan I am along with the toys and other pop culture items I delve in.  This show is called Hollywood Treasure and is on the Syfy Channel on Tuesday evenings.  The show follows Joe Maddalena and his crew as they scour the globe looking for rare movie items to in turn sell in their famous "Profiles in History" auctions.  They deal in everything from movie props to cameras and wardrobes.  It is a very interesting show and especially for those that are big movie buffs like myself or history fans.  Joe comes off as a real sincere guy and someone who is about wanting to get these items (some of which are found buried in garages among other places) to good homes to be taken care of and enjoyed for many years to come.  

Project X Review!

I had the chance last night to catch the flick, Project X.  Yes it has the same name as the 1980's Matthew Broderick film but is much, MUCH different.  I tend to get caught up in these reviews and write a lot more than what I originally intended.  I am going to not mention the actors yada yada yada because frankly you won't recognize them anyway.  Todd Philips, the director of such crazy films as Old School, Road Trip and The Hangover films produced this flick.  I don't think that really means much other than he stamped his seal of approval on it and his name being tagged to the film probably sold a few more tickets.

You have seen this film before.  If you have ever seen a teenage party film then you have seen this movie.  Where this film takes a turn is in how amped it get's.  Imagine the biggest, craziest alcohol, drug, sex infused party of all time and you will understand this movie.  Your main character is having a birthday and his 2 nerdy friends throw him a party at his own house.  What starts out as a backyard party with 30-50 friends turns into a block party with hundreds and mass carnage!

This film is shot with the first person perspective.  It was done well in the sense that it wasn't shaky cam all the time and you could see everything and not have a head ache afterwards.  It was funny. It was crude and dirty. If you like those kind of movies then you will relate and most likely enjoy this film.  It's a film about a big ass party and all the happenings that take place.  What can I say? There isn't much else to this film.  I am embedding the trailer below but be AWARE this is the REDBAND TRAILER.  Nudity, foul language and more is included.
