Recutting old movies to have a more current feel will be the new trend in Hollywood.  Reboots and remakes are so yesterday, so yesterday.  Recutting old movies to have a more current feel is the way to go.  You save on production costs and you already have a built-fan base.  Why wouldn’t they do this?

I always felt that Steve McQueen’s Bullitt would have been a lot better if it had a kick-ass soundtrack with some cool c.g.i. effects and now my wish has come true.

If you are interested in watching the original, boring car chase scene I’ve provided the video below.  Yawn.  It needs more Skrillex if you ask me.

I thought a more exciting name for the sequel to V/H/S would be V/H/Ses but I’m not the one in charge.

V/H/S 2 can be seen on VOD  June 6, and will be theatrical released on July 12.

I’m a dad. More specifically, I’m a dad who loves going to the theater and watching movies. Summertime for me is like watching your team play in the Super Bowl, except I’m a Detroit Lions fans so the only thing I can look forward to is watching the new trailers for the Summer movies.  The build up to Summer is months and sometimes years of promotion for movies the studios believe are the best of the best.  Each movie trailer I watch, every article I read, fight for my attention like a girl on The Bachelor and just like that show there are certain movies I want to give a red rose to and some that I want to send home.

If you’re not a dad, let me fill you in on something – kids are amazing.  They are a lot of work (if you want them to turn out OK) but having children will forever be the greatest accomplishment of your life.

As a parent, it can be a challenge.  For example, every morning since school started this year when I try and wake my daughter up I am told by her, “You’re the meanest because you make get up for school. Why do you do that?  You’re just so mean!”  When I try and explain that I want her to have a good education it is followed by crying, lots and lots of crying.  It was funny the first couple of times but after the fifth week of this, mornings started making me anxious because I knew what was going to happen.  Now I’m suffering from P.T.K.D. (Post Traumatic Kid Disorder).

It’s not always that dramatic.  Every night when I come home my children great me wearing gigantic smiles and big hugs.  After that we talk about each others day and laugh – a lot.  It’s literally straight out of a 50′s sitcom.

As you can imagine, with a job and a family, time to myself is important and doesn’t happen too often.  So when I do have that opportunity, I’m off to the theater, but I’m not going to just see any movie.  I’m especially not going to watch anything animated or with talking animals.  I know that when those movies are on DVD they will be playing non-stop at my house until the kids get bored of them or they “accidentally” get broken.

With so many movies being released this Summer, what ones are worth me abandoning the kids with their mother as I sit in a dark, air conditioned chapel of entertainment ? How do I make the decision?  What’s even coming out?  Well I’m glad you asked because I want to share.

Marvel has a reputation for making quality movies that make a butt-ton of money (butt-ton is an actual term for weight measurement).  Marvel is also starting to make a name around Hollywood as being cheap.  I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s a smart business plan – hire directors with a lot of potential and cast the movies with actors who don’t demand a big paycheck.

So what happens AFTER the movies are successful and sequels are in talks?  In a Deadline article (which I highly recommend you read right now) it talks about how Marvel’s tells the creative people behind the movie thanks and , “If you don’t want to do the sequel at how much we are willing to pay, we’ll find someone else but we aren’t going to give you more money.” Bob Iger, the president of Disney (Disney owns Marvel) won’t even get involved with contract negotiations, “Wait, that’s Marvel. You need to talk to them.  I can’t have this conversation.”  I can only assume that concrete boots quickly come in to style at Marvel when it’s time to talk to agents about raises for their clients.

What I love most about this story is that Robert Downey, Jr. is kind of acting like a real life contract negotiations superhero.  The Deadline article also mentions that he is standing up for his fellow actors, putting the rest of the cast behind him, as he takes on Marvel.  Which makes perfect sense since he got paid a butt-load of money (there’s that term again) for The Avengers, while everyone else…well not as much.

Enough of me rambling with words, I’m more of a visual man.  This infographic can put everything .

You ever have one of those days?  Like one of thoooooooooose days?  Well my day has started out like one of those days and I will do everything in my power to make sure that it doesn’t end like that.  It does seem fitting that on today, The World’s End teaser trailer is finally released.  To understand the importance of this movie, let the fine people of Wiki explain it:

“The Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy (also known as the Blood and Ice Cream trilogy) is a series of films directed by Edgar Wright, written by Simon Pegg and Wright, produced by Nira Park, and starring Pegg and Nick Frost.

The first two films in the series are Shaun of the Dead (2004), “a romantic comedy with zombies“, and Hot Fuzz (2007), a buddy cop action/comedy film. A third film, The World’s End,began shooting in September 2012 for a 2013 release.

Each film in the trilogy is connected to a Cornetto ice cream flavour – both of the films released to date feature scenes in which one of the main characters purchases a Cornetto of the appropriate flavour. Shaun of the Dead features a red strawberry flavoured Cornetto, which signifies the film’s bloody and gory elements,Hot Fuzz includes the blue original Cornetto, to signify the police element to the film, and The World’s End will feature the green mint choc-chip flavour. The use of the three flavours/colours of Cornetto is a reference to Krzysztof Kieślowski‘s Three Colours film trilogy.”

The World’s End hits the U.S. theaters August, 23.

Leave it to Axel Braun (The Avengers XXX, Star Wars XXX)  to delivery us yet another fanboy porn parody…this time focusing on Weapon Sex (You like what I did there?  I turned his classic nickname and made it a porn name.  I’m in the wrong business).

What’s so great about this movie?  Wolverine is sporting his classic blue and yellow suit.  Snickety snick!

This trailer is safe for work if you can’t wait to watch it when you get home.

Ever wonder how you know if you’re good friends with someone?  They share a video like this with you.  That’s how.
