New Trailers For Pixar’s: ‘BRAVE’ and Amazing Looking Spielberg: ‘WAR HORSE’ – Watch!
The last live action Steven Spielberg film was ‘INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL’ and before that it was ‘MUNICH.’ There really isn’t any better cinema than a Spielberg flick (opinions on INDY 4 withstanding – let’s say ‘non sequel’ Spielberg for the sake of it) He’s dependable as anything and you can always expect a phenomenal film.

‘THE HANGOVER: PART II’ Movie Review: A great sequel; which proves that the ‘Devil is in the details.’

Is the movie good? Yes.
How good? Great.
Better than the first movie? No.
Funnier? No, but it’s way more messed up and meaner.
Did it exceed expectations? No, but it met them.
Is it the same movie but set in Thailand? Basically yeah, but it’s a bit more than that. Read more… Read more…
TV Bits: Game of Thrones Episode 1.1: Winter is Coming
This week, HBO premiered the first episode in a new show titled the Game of Thrones. The show which is based upon the highly popular series, a Song of Fire and Ice is probably one of the most ambitious projects that HBO has so far simply because of the sheer scale and scope of the books. Set in a fantasy land of Westeros, The books tell of the struggle for power between the nobles to claim the iron throne. Though this first episode is rather short, it sets up the most of what would happen later in the series. Whether your a fan of the books or not, this is certainly a show that would get a lot more interesting as it further develops.

‘SCREAM 4′ Tag Team Movie Review: This is top ten 2011 right here; an incredible sequel. Well Worth The Wait.
DAVE:
So we just walked out of ‘Scream 4’ and it was amazing. Watching the new movie it is easy to forget that it’s been ten years since the last film – the maligned; but enjoyable ‘Scream 3’- and that Wes Craven hasn’t directed a decent film since then. Craven; renowned for ‘Nightmare On Elm Street’; ‘The Hills Have Eyes’ and of course the original ‘Scream’ films has been sitting in Hollywood hell for a while directing crap like ‘Cursed’ – it seemed that his return to the ‘Scream’ franchise was nothing but a quick/cheap grab at a cash in – i.e.. doing the safe film to sustain his career.
The state of Craven isn’t the only thing: there’s the state of producers: The Weinstein brothers (see my article on the franchise itself at…for more) who are trying to get out dire straits…it all seemed desperate. Also worth considering is that they got is a large cast filled with the ‘whose who’ of todays stars: Hayden Panettiere; Emma Roberts; Adam Brody to accompany returning cast Neve Campbell; David Arquette and Courtney Cox…all this seemed much considering the ten year gap since the franchise was last going.
THE RETURN TO WOODSBORO: A retrospective of the ‘Scream’ franchise.
A retrospective of the ‘Scream’ franchise in preparation of this years highly anticipated: ‘Scream 4’. Releases April 15th 2011. Director: Wes Craven. Writer: Kevin Williamson.

2011: It’s the year with the most sequels/remakes ever. Yes. I believe it even has the Guinness World Record; with something like twenty-six films being released that aren’t original properties. From ‘Transformers 3’ to another ‘Fast And The Furious’ film. That isn’t to say we aren’t getting some sequels that don’t look awesome. There’s ‘The Hangover: Part 2’, the final ‘Harry Potter’, another ‘Pirates’ flick. From the director of ‘Kick Ass’ comes another installment in the ‘X-Men’ franchise. And now a full ten years after the last one; we’re getting a new ‘Scream’…
In ‘Scream 4’ the iconic ‘Ghostface Killer returns for some more crazy satirical horror in April. After ten years since the last time, it might be a good idea to play some catch up on the franchise. Wes Craven; the dude who brought us the classics ‘The Hills Have Eyes’ and ‘Nightmare On Elm Street’; directed the first ‘Scream’ in 1996 – A movie that took Horror/slasher conventions and flipped them on their ass. That flick famously advertised (Mega famous- at the time) Drew Barrymoore as the main star; and then proceeded to kill her off in the famous “What’s your favorite scary movie?” opening five minutes: in a sequence that still remains one of the most ingenious film openings ever made.
