Ian Holm is back for The Hobbit! It’s a small bit of news but at this point, I’ll take anything I can get. As far as anticipation goes, it’s a tie between the Hobbit films, The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises for me. I’ll take any news I can get!
Kevin Smith & Quentin Tarantino
I’ve mentioned many times on this blog that while I’m not a big fan of Kevin Smith’s movies, I’m definitely a fan of the man himself. Between his hilarious ‘Evening With‘ DVDs, his blogs and his books, I’ve followed him closely.
XTRA: Kevin Smith & Independent Filmmaking
Last week, Smith wrote a lengthy post about Quentin Tarantino over at The Red Statements. The article includes Quentin’s review of Red State, a visit to his home and tons of movie references that geeks like me adore.
Aziz Ansari Is Awesome
One day a friend of mine posted a video of Aziz Ansari on Facebook. I’m ashamed to say I hadn’t heard of him until that day. Needless to say, I’ve been a fan ever since.
Aziz and Jesse Eisenberg join Danny MacBride in an awesome looking flick called 30 Minutes Or Less. The trailer takes a strange turn when the actual plot is revealed but it’s still a great cast and a funny trailer. Enjoy.

Life In A Day Trailer Inspires
I can’t wait to see ‘The YouTube Movie’. The idea of presenting a documentary comprised of videos submitted on YouTube is both inspiring and intriguing. Personally, I’m hoping the eventual Blu Ray is packed with bonus features, extra footage and making of documentaries.

PS: I would have loved to edit that movie. So much amazing footage and touching stories to tell.
Mel Gibson Interview
Deadline managed to get Mel Gibson to open up about his career and so much more. The interview is a great read. I’m 100% against his actions over the last few years but I’m also a massive fan of his movies. So it’s bitter sweet to see him finally creeping back into the spotlight.
Check out the full interview over at Deadline.
Terri Trailer
Here is a pretty great trailer for an upcoming drama starring John C. Reilly.

A Concept We’ve Seen 1 Billion Times?
The Change Up is yet another ‘body switching’ comedy. How can people still get away with pitching movies like this? The answer is: People who can deliver Jason Batemen, Ryan Reynolds and the director of The Wedding Crashers.

Mortal Kombat Legacy Episode 2
The second episode of this 12 (or is it 9 now?) episode series continues to make me smile but not enough to really love it. I suppose they needed 2 episodes to establish Jax and Kano’s ‘enhancements’ but I’m greedy and I was expecting a story featuring different characters! (Except not the way Annihilation did it.)
Still, the style of the series is awesome (although cheesy at times) and at the end of the day it’s live action Mortal Kombat for FREE! So I’ll stop complaining.
Bring on Episode 3!
