  2. As if we had enough of these sequels. Milla Jovovich and Paul W. S. Anderson are back to piss off Resident Evil fans once again with Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, and judging by the title, it will hopefully be the last time. The film invades Japan on December 23 and in the U.S. on January 27, 2017.

  3. "A Great Time, No Alcohol Required" "B-" Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 83% - "Sausage Party is definitely offensive, but backs up its enthusiastic profanity with an impressively high gag-to-laugh ratio -- and a surprisingly thought-provoking storyline." Metacritic Score: 67 out of 100

  5. Arrival is the latest film by director Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners, Sicario), starring Amy Adams (Brenda in Catch Me If You Can, Mary in The Muppets), Jeremy Renner (Hansel in Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, Aaron Cross in The Bourne Legacy), and Forest Whitaker (Charles in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Ker in Battlefield Earth). Based on Story of Your Life by Ted Chiang, it is a sci-fi film about the arrival of an alien ship and mankind's attempt to communicate with it. The film will make its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 2 before hitting theaters on November 11. If this is as good as Villeneuve's other works, there will be high hopes for his Blade Runner sequel. Arrival @ IMDb

  7. Looks like whatever sh9000 posted above has been taken down for copyright reasons. I'll just wait until Sony/Marvel uploads the actual trailer.
  8. Over the past year, I've noticed that forums such as TFW2005.com use a filter that automatically disables tags when someone quotes a post on their reply, thus reducing the clutter on a thread. Perhaps it's time MW does the same, as there are people around here notorious for quoting multiple images (as many as 8-10 images) just to reply with a single word or emoticon.
  9. And just for the hell of it, here's a review of a classic bad film. The Wizard Universal Pictures, 1989 Directed by Todd Holland (Malcolm in the Middle, The Larry Sanders Show) Running Time: 100 minutes Rated PG for some violence and strong language. "I love the Power Glove. It's so bad." Cast Fred Savage (Kevin in The Wonder Years, Mole in Austin Powers in Goldmember) as Corey Woods Luke Edwards as Jimmy Woods Jenny Lewis (indie rock singer/songwriter) as Haley Brooks Christian Slater (Hale in Broken Arrow, Edward in Alone in the Dark) as Nick Woods Beau Bridges (BB Hensley in Max Payne, Hank Landry in Stargate SG-1) as Sam Woods Will Seltzer as Putnam Jackey Vinson as Lucas Barton Wendy Phillips as Christine Bateman Sam McMurray as Mr. Bateman Tobey "Spider-Man" Maguire as one of Lucas' goons (uncredited) Synopsis Corey Woods and his autistic brother Jimmy run away from their mother and stepfather after they put Jimmy in an institution; as "California" is the only word Jimmy says throughout the film, they head west, meeting a girl named Haley Brooks on the way. Upon discovering that Jimmy has the gift of mastering any video game he plays, the trio set their sights on Universal Studios Hollywood to send Jimmy to "Video Armageddon", a gamers tournament with US$50,000 at stake. However, for Jimmy to win the tournament, he must match his skills against teen game genius and Power Gloveâ„¢ afficionado Lucas Barton. Meanwhile, Corey and Jimmy's mother and stepfather hire a bounty hunter named Putnam while their biological father Sam and elder brother Nick compete with Putnam on a cross-country race to recover the kids. Lowdown Back in 2001, my roommate challenged me to watch this film after losing two rounds of Bad Movie Night. So we rented a DVD copy and started Round 3, and yeah, it was a pretty bad movie. The Wizard was released on the tail end of the "kidsploitation" bandwagon during the '80s, but unlike The Goonies or even Flight of the Navigator, this film has not aged well. Just look at Lucas and his goons - nothing screams the most forgettable parts of the '80s like Vision Street Wear. There must have been a closeout sale at Miller's Outpost that day. But perhaps the film's biggest crime is not the horribly bland script or the really flat acting or its premise of encouraging kids to run away. The Wizard has the dubious honor of being a full-length theatrical Nintendo commercial, as well as being a sign that video game movies in the future are doomed. Just about every arcade game in the film is actually the NES port. There's also that extremely cheesy scene where Lucas shows off his Mattel Power Gloveâ„¢ - because it's so bad. All the chases and character buildup lead to the film's biggest surprise of all: the unveiling of Super Mario Bros. 3. And just for kicks, the film shamelessly plugs Universal Studios Hollywood; besides, they needed some elaborate place to shoot the film's climax. In short, The Wizard is a pretty lame movie that can only be remembered for the wrong reasons. It's a combination of everything wrong with the '80s and video game marketing. So did my roommate win Round 3 of Bad Movie Night? Nope. I made him watch the 1990 Captain America film. Rating: D For more information on this film, check out these reviews: "Two Thumbs Down" "It's probably a good time if you are an old-school Nintendo video gamer, and you watch it drunk (Yeah now it's a party!)"
  10. That's where our opinions differ. While The Lone Ranger is a horrible film, I'm indifferent to it because it's never had any luck on the big screen (the 1981 version is a Razzie alumnus) and the TV series is far from memorable. Jonah Hex is also a literal trainwreck, but I've never followed his comics. On the other hand, I really enjoyed the 1960s TV series The Wild Wild West, as it kept the Western genre relevant by incorporating spy elements to compete with James Bond 007, The Avengers, I Spy, and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Also, Robert Conrad was excellent as James West. The 1999 remake bears absolutely no resemblance to this series. It was just producer Jon Peters' excuse to have a giant robot spider on film after Superman Lives was shelved.
  11. Confirmed Cast: Mark Wahlberg as Cade Yeager (reprising role from Age of Extinction) Isabela Moner (CJ in 100 Things to Do Before High School) as Izabella (because Bay needs another underage girl to exploit) Josh Duhamel as William Lennox (reprising role from the Trilogy) Tyrese Gibson as Robert Epps (reprising role from the Trilogy) Jerrod Carmichael (The Carmichael Show, Garf in Neighbors 1-2) Mitch Pileggi (Skinner in The X-Files, Darby in Sons of Anarchy) Laura Haddock (Meredith Quill in Guardians of the Galaxy) Santiago Cabrera (Isaac in Heroes) Anthony Hopkins (Hitler in The Bunker, Don Diego in The Mask of Zorro) Confirmed Transformers: Autobots Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime (probably the only guy keeping this franchise together) Bumblebee Drift (now a Mercedes-AMG GT R) Crosshairs Hot Rod Sqweeks (a Vespa) Decepticons Megatron (Wait a minute! Didn't he become Galvatron?) Barricade (resurrected with no explanation) Onslaught (a Western Star tow truck)
