I could go on and on about how lovely Gwyneth Paltrow looked in her business suit in the first Iron Man, or how Terrence Howard gave the performance of his life, but I know you’re only here to see the industrialist playboy, genius engineer, the star of the show.
The first trailer for Iron Man 2 has finally hit the web and you can see it in its whizz-bang glory after the jump.
Ok, I’ll admit it. I was a Tom Cruise fan back in the day and I loved “Top Gun“. But as I matured and started looking between the lines on things (and Tommy started following aliens from another planet), I didn’t realise that this film was more than just an action flick.
Hadn’t noticed things like Maverick’s angst over his relationship with Charlotte. His very close bond with Goose and those smoldering looks between him and Iceman. And what about those locker room scenes and the oily beach volleyball shenanigan. But I still thought maybe it’s all in my head and people are making something out of nothing. Until I caught my hero, Tarantino, in the 1994 film “Sleep With Me” breaking it down for me.
Makes sense.
After the fokken wind bitch-slapped the wooden fencing on our wall on Sunday (photo HERE) and some douche driving into our parked car yesterday, God knows I could do with some lulz today.
Inappropriate Soundtracks takes clips from popular movies and edits new music over the original scenes. The results are often quite hilarious. Have a look at some of them after the jump.
“It will kill you. Even if it takes the rest of your life.” Director Richard Gale’s comedy/horror short film has a title that is even longer than the tag line it describes.
“The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon” tells the story of everyday man Jack Cucchiaio is who is being stalked by the most relentless murderer of all time. The heinous creature intends on bashing Jack to death…with a spoon!
See the epic 10-minute trailer below or watch it in HD on YouTube – it’s a scream ;-)
Gale’s trailer has been viewed over 1.5 million times and the extended cut of the movie will soon be available on DVD. More info on that at www.richard-gale.com.

BONUS: Did you know that the longest movie title is “Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Alien, Flesh Eating, Hellbound, Zombified Living Dead Part 2: In Shocking 2-D”? [Source]
I heard about this film last year some time, and I’ll admit I wasn’t happy. Not about the story, it was Matt Damon being cast as ’95 Bok captain Francois Pienaar. I always cringe when American actors portray South Africans, especially White South Africans as they never get the accent correct and well they don’t look South African. But after watching the trailer for this Clint Eastwood directed film nogal, I think Matt pulled it off.
The film is based on the book Playing The Enemy: Nelson Mandela And The Game That Changed a Nation by John Carlin. Showing the transformation of a nation with the release of Mandela and the Springboks lifting the ’95 Rugby world Cup. It stars Morgan Freeman as President Nelson Mandela and Matt Damon as Francois Pienaar.
It’s set for a December 11th 2009 release in South Africa.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Wachowski brothers epic effort, The Matrix, Trevor Boyd and Steve Ilett re-created the famous bullet-dodging scene using the medium of LEGO. That’s pure win in itself, but made even better by the fact that the two gents spent 440 hours to make their stop-frame animation frame-accurate.
By “frame accurate” we mean that we took all of the video frames from that part of the movie (that’s nearly 900 frames for just 44 seconds of footage) and reproduced them all in Lego.
Have a look at the clip below.
And hit the jump to see a side-by-side comparison of the original and the LEGO version.
VIDEOGIOCO is unusual and violently so. Conceived by Donato Sansone, VIDEOGIOCO combines doodling with stop-motion filming to create something quite unique, and so very odd. It has a killer ending, which also happens to be its beginning. Have a look below.
VIDEOGIOCO means videogame in Italian.

Clearly I’ve been living under a rock on planet Naboo, but I wasn’t aware that Atom Films has been producing animated Star Wars gangsta raps since 2003. The latest in the series has just hit the Interwebs. MCs Vader, Skywalker, Solo, Leia, and public enemy Obi-Wan are back with the illest rhymes this side of the Kessel Sector. At this minute, the force seems to have failed Atom’s embedding system See it below.
ALL NEW! Star Wars Gangsta Rap: Chronicles
And a totally different live-action, potty-mouthed Star Wars Gangsta Rap can be experienced after the jump.
Yes another remake, but this time a classic that needed one.
It’s based on the Greek myth of Perseus, the son of Zeus and a mortal. He goes on a legendary journey, to stop Hades from seizing power from Zeus, and unleashing hell on earth. On his journey defeating the Gorgon Medusa and riding a winged horse.
I remember watching the 1981 classic as a kid (still shown on TCM), with Harry Hamlin in the title role, and being amazed at the special effects. The winged horse, the gorgon, the skeleton army….fantastic stuff. Now however it’s dated and the acting is cringe inducing.
Enter Louis Leterrier, the director who helped reboot the Hulk, with his re-imagining of this classic. This time, with Sam “I’m the next action hero” Worthington playing Perseus; Liam Neeson, and Ralph Fiennes are also onboard playing mighty Zeus and Hades respectively. If Louis’ previous films, The Transporter 1 & 2, The Incredible Hulk, are anything to go by he knows how to direct action films. And if the trailer is anything to go by, this is definitely an action film. The big plus for me, it has a great cast and newcomer Worthington has shown he can act while kicking ass.

And here are some promotional images.
Clash of the Titans is set for international release on 26 March 2010.
After the first trailer for Guy Ritchie’s upcoming action-adventure Sherlock Holmes, our very own Lucy Furr felt a tad weird about this re-imagining of England’s finest detective. Being of a simpler mind, I thought it was flippin’ fantastic, and from the looks of the latest trailer, it’s going to be a jolly good show indeed.
There’s a fair amount of rollicking action thrown in there, Irene Adler looks tasty, and Watson and Holmes share some intimate, Bromance moments. Have a look at the trailer below or watch it in HD at YouTube.

Sherlock Holmes stars Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, and Rachel McAdams. The movie will hit U.S. theatres on December 25th, 2009. It will reportedly air in South African movie houses on January 8th 1st, 2010.
