'Yellow Brick Road' Trailer

This movie is making some serious noise at Sundance. Can't wait to see it.

Plot:
An expedition looks for answers to something horrible in the forest, but the forest finds something horrible in them.

One Morning in New England, 1940, the entire population of Friar New Hampshire - 572 people - walked together up a winding mountain trail and into the wilderness. They left behind their clothes, their money, all of their essentials. Even their dogs were abandoned, tied to posts and left to starve. No One knows why. A search party dispatched by the U.S. Army eventually discovered the remains of nearly 300 of Friar's evacuees. Many had frozen to death. Others were cruelly and mysteriously slaughtered. The bodies of the remaining citizens are still unaccounted for. Over the years, a quiet cover-up operation managed to weave the story of Friar into the stuff of legends and backwoods fairy tales. The town has slowly repopulated, but the vast wilderness is mostly untracked, with the northern-most stretches off limits to local hunters and loggers. In 2008, the coordinates for the "YELLOWBRICKROAD" trail head were declassified. The first official expedition into a dark and twisted wilderness will attempt to solve the mystery of the lost citizens of Friar...and reach the end of the trail.

A 'Killer' Point of View

Sounds like the still unreleased but really disturbing Poughkeepsie Tapes.

"Killer." It's a simple, direct and effective word that cuts straight to the point, presumably through your guts. It's also the name of a movie coming out courtesy of Hyde Park Entertainment and Parkes/MacDonald Prods., two companies that have teamed up to produce Kenny Golde's horror-minded spec script.

According to Variety, "Killer" focuses on a rogue police investigator who discovers a video left behind by the titular murderer. What follows is an intense cat-and-mouse game where the investigator is always several strides behind his intended target.

Several news outlets, including Shock Till You Drop, are reporting that the big hook of "Killer" — other than the killing, that is — is the fact that the movie is told through the point of view of the police officer as he videotapes his investigation of the crime. Eventually, the story shifts back and forth between the cop's camera and the killer's grotesque video. The intended result is to blur the line between the cop's investigation and the killer's own film, confusing not only the protagonist, but the audience as well.

Based on that premise, "Killer" sounds like it has something of a "Paranormal Activity" and "The Blair Witch Project" vibe, albeit contained within more realistic confines. Actually, scratch that — with so little known about the movie thus far, it's entirely possible that "Killer" is going to take some sort of violent supernatural turn. My hope is that it's more grounded and gritty, something akin to the aforementioned movies combined with "Se7en." That's a movie I'd pay to see.

Die Hard 5?

Bruce Willis is saying it's for sure. After the last one, I'm kind of looking forward to it. Live Free or Die Hard was really good.

Source: MTV

Since 1988's "Die Hard," Bruce Willis has suited up as a crime-solving, justice-bringing, people-protecting badass in nearly 20 movies. While the 54-year-old actor begins to make the rounds to promote his latest turn as an onscreen hero in "Cop Out," he's also making plans to return to the franchise that made him a star. MTV News has learned exclusively that Willis expects to shoot "Die Hard 5" in 2011.

"I think we're going to do a 'Die Hard 5' next year," Willis told us.

Though vague chatter about another film in the franchise has cropped up here and there over the last few years — most recently while Willis was promoting "Surrogates" last fall — these recent comments represent the most concrete evidence to date that Willis is committed to reprising his role of John McClane (one of MTV News' greatest movie badasses of all time).

The project appears to be in the early phases, but Willis does have some ideas about the story and who should be tagged to direct. "It's got to go worldwide," the actor said about the potential plotline. "That would be my contribution to it."

His first choice to direct would be the man who last brought McClane to the big screen. "I would hire Len Wiseman right now," Willis said. A vet of two "Underworld" flicks, Wiseman has not helmed a feature since 2007's "Live Free or Die Hard."

While Willis readies himself to return to "Die Hard" territory, he admitted that he much prefers taking a comedic angle on cop films — à la "Cop Out," which also stars Tracy Morgan — than the more serious approach of the "Die Hard" franchise.

"I like so much more making fun of it, taking the piss out of it, not making it a big deal and not making the fact that I've acted in a lot of movies a big deal," he said. "It's all illusion, and it's all bulls---. It's a great job for me to have, but everything else you can set on fire. Making people laugh is the real deal."

The New 'Nightmare on Elm Street' Poster

Still having a hard time believing a 5 foot 5 inch Freddy. Poster looks ok though.

The Pros and Cons of: 'Legion'

Pros:
Apocalyptic theme - Everyone knows I'm a sucker for end of the world movies and there are a couple of scenes in this movie that definitely fit into that. Too bad they are few and far between.

Some gory parts - People exploding. Kids and elderly people biting victims. Pretty cool.

Cool fight scene - there is a pretty good fight scene between angels Michael and Gabriel. Since Gabriel's biggest weapon is his wings, kind of makes you wonder why Michael cut them off. Hmmm.

Cons:
Character development - basically zero. You are supposed to care about the people fighting hordes of demons to survive, but you don't.

Weak ass story - It's the end of the world and wayward angel Michael defies God and protects a pregnant woman who is going to give birth to a child who will save mankind. Why her? Why her child? Any other children? Any significance what so ever? We'll never know.

Pacing - Not much happens in this movie other than people being holed up in truck stop. The previews show them fighting off demons and you think ALRIGHT! No. Only a couple of scenes have any actual action to them. There's a lot of filler in this movie. You can tell the writers were running out of ideas.

Ending - Without spoiling it, the ending doesn't make too much sense. It's EXTREMELY lackluster and it leaves many unanswered questions. It just too bad I don't care for the answer.

BOTTOM LINE: Watch The Prophecy starring Christopher Walken. This movie is basically a rip-off of it but The Prophecy's ending credits are better than this entire movie.

'Grown Ups' Trailer

Has an all star cast with Samdler, Rock, James, Spade, and Schneider. Let's hope it can deliver.

Plot:
Five friends and former teammates reunite years later to honor the passing of their childhood basketball coach. With their wives and kids in tow, they spend the Fourth of July holiday weekend together at the lake house where they celebrated their championship years earlier. Picking up where they left off, they discover why growing older doesnt mean growing up.

'Get Him to the Greek' Trailer

It's six degrees of Judd Apatow comedy. So I'm in.

Plot:

Get ready to get down and dirty with British rock star Aldous Snow (Russell Brand)! Aldous was once a brilliant musician, but now his star power is starting to fade, and hes in desperate need of a comeback. Aaron Green (Jonah Hill) is instructed by his record mogul boss, Sergio Roma (Sean Combs), to fly to London and escort Aldous Snow to L.A.s world famous Greek Theatre for the opening night of his comeback tour and of course, its no easy task!

'Defendor' trailer

Eh, not sure about this one. Woody is great at comedy, but I'll probably wait for the dvd.

Plot:
Arthur Poppington (2009 Golden Globe® Nominee Woody Harrelson) doesnt need superpowers or fancy toys to fight crime. Armed only with a childlike sense of wonder and his quirky arsenal of cheap, homemade gadgets, he becomes DEFENDOR! He finds an unexpected partner when he rescues and falls for a local prostitute (Kat Dennings, Nick and Norahs Infinite Playlist). Can the two of them take down the citys most fearsome crime boss without getting killed in the process?

'Centurion' trailer

I am a HUGE Neil Marshall fan. I love Dog Soldiers, The Descent, Doomsday, hell everything he does. Kind of interesting to see him leave the horror/sci-fi genre. Still, I'm seeing this on opening day.

Plot:
Based on the legend of the Ninth Legion, an army of 3000 unstoppable Roman warriors who vanished without trace, Centurion is the tale of their vicious conflict with a murderous adversary, the Picts.

'Brooklyn's Finest' trailer

Antoine Fuqua is hit or miss. I'm hoping for 'hit'.

Plot:
Three unconnected Brooklyn cops wind up at the same deadly location after enduring vastly different career paths.

'The Last Airbender' Super Bowl trailer

This movie looks sick! Funny, this is the movie that should've been called Avatar.

Plot:
The story follows the adventures of Aang, a young successor to a long line of Avatars, who must put his childhood ways aside and stop the Fire Nation from enslaving the Water, Earth and Air nations.

Movie Nerd Reviews

Something I'm going to try are small reviews of movies as I see them. Here we go...

Daybreakers - (3 stars out of 5)

Actually I was really impressed with this movie. It had a good twist on the vampire genre. Seeing the world completely taken over by vampires was amazing. From the Starbucks turned blood banks to the vampire Uncle Sam posters saying "Join the Army. Hunt Humans!" It's kind of a slow movie so the pacing isn't great, but the story is good enough to keep your attention. Not to mention at times very bloody...which is a good thing.

Smokin' Aces 2: Assassins' Ball - (3 1/2 stars out of 5)

I love the original and had no idea the sequel was even coming out. I almost ignored it thinking it's going to be a lame attempt at making money off of the original. I'm glad I gave it a chance. It was surprisingly good. It kept the same style that Smokin' Aces is known for. I would've liked to have seen more development on the assassins. They felt like fodder and it's a shame because they seemed to be really interesting. It's not going to be a groundbreaking or classic movie but it's ultra violent and a very fun movie. Give it a chance. What other movie are you going to see people using a cannon shooting midget clowns strapped with explosives?
