Just about a month ago, I posted the firstClash of the Titans trailer. I thought that was epic enough. But the second trailer blows the first one completely out of the water. It's amazing. Check it out for yourself below.
Clash of the Titans follows Perseus and his quest to battle Medusa and the Kraken in order to save the Princess Andromeda.
The film hits American theaters March 26, 2010. No news on Malaysian distribution just yet.
Yes, I am back and hopefully gonna get my movie blogging mojo back on track. Expect lots of updates coming soon. But I think I shall start things off with previewing one of the most talked about non-summer movie of the year- James Cameron's Avatar.
Avatar (2009) Cast: Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez Director: James Cameron USA release: December 18, 2009 Malaysia release: December 17,2009 Genre: Sci-Fi, Action, Adventure, Thriller Runtime: 2 Hours 43 Minutes Rated in USA: PG-13 for intense epic battle sequences and warfare, sensuality, language and some smoking Rated in Malaysia: PG-13 IMDb User Rating:8.3/10 Rotten Tomatoes: 90% See what the early buzz surrounding Avatar is like on Twitter
Avatar is an emotional journey of redemption and revolution. The story tells of a wounded ex-marine, who thrust unwillingly into an effort to settle and exploit an exotic planet rich in bio-diversity, and eventually crosses over to lead an indigenous race in a battle for survival. Thus, combining the elements of massive spectacle and intimate character that made James Cameron's Titanic the highest grossing film of all time.
So the hype around James Cameron's Avatar has been slowly growing from super secret Sci-Fi project to "biggest movie of the year" status. Despite the movie being released worldwide later this week, quite a few people have already seen Avatar and most of them are raving about it. To read some of the early Twitter reactions, check out this /Film article. When the first trailer was released I wasn't really excited for the movie but the early buzz has picked my enthusiasm for the film back up and I'm ready to be blown away by the 'revolutionary' 3-D and CG effects. Seriously cannot wait for the movie.
Omg, omg, omg, omg. Check out the first teaser poster for next summer’s Iron Man 2. I don’t think anyone saw this coming but the poster very clearly features War Machine, James Rhodes’ (Don Cheadle) metal suited alter-ego. Check out the EPIC poster in all its glory below.
Iron Man 2 hits theaters here April 30th, 2010 here in Malaysia, a whole week before America.
I know this trailer is long overdue and nothing has been going up on this blog. But for people who haven’t seen this trailer, you need to see it. So here it is. Enjoy.
I know I haven't been posting anything of late but in my defense, I've been terribly busy with work and college. Actually no, I've just been lazy. But that aside, here is a hilarious video I saw on /Film which features bloopers from this summer's Star Trek. The video will be included in the Blu-Ray version of the movie. But you can check it out below.
So I’ve been missing lately and there have been a lack of posts and a lot of exciting stuff has happened in that time so I will try to post up as much as I can. Starting of with the teaser trailer for Clash of the Titans, starring Sam Worthington of Terminator Salvation and Avatar fame. The film also features other names like Gemma Arterton, who’s next film will be alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, as well as Liam Neeson who has just been cast in The A-Team remake and Ralph Fiennes, better known as Lord Voldemort.
Check out the teaser embedded below.

This trailer isn’t actually new but I decided to share it with you guys because I saw it for the first time when I was doing 8TV Nite Live last night and to be completely honest with you, I was so freaking creeped out of my mind and I was genuinely frightened. Not many trailers do this to me but this one did. Another one would be the Paranormal Activity trailer which you can see here.
Anyway, here it is. Be prepared to not sleep soundly tonight.
“A UFO sighting is referred to as an encounter of the first kind…When evidence is collected, it is known as an encounter of the second kind…Contact with extraterrestrials, is an encounter of the third kind… The next level, abduction, is the fourth kind. This encounter has been the most difficult to document… Until now.”
Starring Milla Jovovich and based on “actual case studies”, The Fourth Kind hits Malaysian theaters this Thursday.
The first time I saw Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan, I almost puked in my mouth. But now that I’ve seen the trailer, things are looking up. First off, I think he manages to pulls off the British accent and he does all the action-ey stuff with a lot of pazzaz. Actually, I didn't even know Persians spoke with British accents. =p
As for other parts of the trailer, I thought every thing was brilliant. If the movie is even remotely as good as the game it’s based off, we’ll be in for a great treat come the release of the film. With the future of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise looking very bleak, Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer are looking for another franchise to make serious box office for them. And they just might have made it with Prince of Persia. You’ve got to admit the trailer was very Pirates-esque. Just look at the similarities so far- tons of huge action sequences; hints of comedy here and there; charismatic lead actor/character that will have all the girl’s will go GAGA.
In any case, the trailer is a very good one. As for the movie, we’ll just have to wait and see. Here’s the trailer embedded below. Enjoy!
From the team that brought the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy to the big screen, Walt Disney Pictures, director of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Mike Newell and Jerry Bruckheimer Films present Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, an epic action-adventure set in the mystical lands of Persia. A rogue prince (Jake Gyllenhaal) reluctantly joins forces with a mysterious princess (Gemma Arterton) and together, they race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time—a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.
