Re: Getting ready for an awesome year of movies

kinda let this thread slip after all the work put into wrangling up those trailers but BSB's thread (http://www.redskinswarpath.com/parki...-watching.html) reminded me about it.
Theater wise:

Simpson's Movie: One of the funniest movies I've seen in a couple years for me. Had a lot of what made the show great about 5 or so years ago and then some with some comedic freedom allowed by the PG-13 rating. I think one of the coolest parts of the movie was during the credits where it showed who did the voices for which characters. All I got to say is Hank Azaria is the man.

Bourne Ultimatum: One of the best action flicks in the last decade. I love James Bond, but Bourne would crush him. It was a nice wrap up to the series as Matt Damon has said he doesn't wish to continue playing the character. The movie also had one of the sweetest fight scenes and two of the coolest chase scenes in a movie in a while.

Can't wait to see Rush Hour 3 and Stardust next week and then Superbad, War, and Halloween later this month.

DVD wise:

The super gianormous release of recent weeks is of course 300. Anyone and everyone that hasn't seen this movie should be ashamed of yourselves. Although it doesn't have the strongest plot ever, the work put into the movie by the actors/actresses and the crew overcomes that one pothole to make one of the best action movies of all time. Anyone else lucky enough to have an HD-DVD player can actually have a feature turned on that shows in a small box in the corner, what was actually filmed in front of the blue screen to see the incredible amount of work that went into bringing the story to life.

Anyone who is a fan of Shaun of the Dead, I highly recommend atleast checking out Hot Fuzz. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are funny as hell again in this spoof on action movies with awesome co-stars like Timothy Dalton.

I'm looking forward to watching Disturbia and the special edition release of Flash Gordon this week and then Labyrinth special edition and ATHF next week.

and for anyone who didn't follow the San Diego Comic-Con coverage or just movie news in general here are a couple new trailers and teasers:

Batman: The Dark Knight= The Dark Knight Teaser Online! - ComingSoon.net
Beowulf= http://downloads.paramount.com/mp/be...iler_1_lrg.mov
National Treasure: Book of Secrets= Apple - Trailers - National Treasure: Book Of Secrets
No Country for Old Men= Apple - Trailers - No Country For Old Men - Trailer
Hitman= Apple - Trailers - Hitman - Trailer A
3:10 to Yuma= Apple - Trailers - 3:10 to Yuma
Shoot 'Em Up= Apple - Trailers - Shoot 'Em Up
10,000 BC= Apple - Trailers - 10,000 B.C. - Trailer 1
Get Smart= Apple - Trailers - Get Smart - Trailer 1
30 Days of Night= Apple - Trailers - 30 Days of Night
Eastern Promises= Eastern Promises trailers and video clips on Yahoo! Movies
We Own the Night= We Own the Night trailers and video clips on Yahoo! Movies
Lions for Lambs= Lions for Lambs trailers and video clips on Yahoo! Movies
American Gangster= Apple - Trailers - Universal Pictures - American Gangster

and if u can find the footage that Marvel had pulled off the net, the Iron Man trailer is sweet as hell with Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" song playing in the background.

American Gangster is a must see for me I think. Denzel and Crowe. Two of the best right there.

We Own the Night (another Mark Cuban movie) looks like it might be good as well.

Anyhow I'm going to merge this BSB's thread
