But check out this one that was shown at a local Columbus Cowtown Film Festival. This one was made by Beetoons On Youtube for that film festival:

Now imagine though this clip below of a pastor losing his temper in church when one of the attendees cell phone goes off during the worship service and she takes the call! This would work very well for a movie theater preroll as well lol:

Doc Brown is about to meet SkyNet's finest.

The Internet is the place to go for ridiculous videos and fan-fiction, so why not take both and put them into a single awesome trailer? The website How It Should End does just that. They take your favorite movies and change the lame sissy Hollywood endings for something… shall we say more interesting (sometimes).

There may be nothing better than to see the over-milked world of Marty McFly and Doc Brown crossover into the over-milked world of the Terminator franchise. I know what you’re thinking, do we really need another bastardization of Robert Zemeckis’ classic Back to the Future? Or perhaps you’re thinking, I can’t believe people still identify with Aaaahnold even though the orignal Terminator came out before most of the kids today were even born. Regardless, I say remake all the 80s and 90s franchises you want, but only if you add ass kickin’.

When the terrible Aaaahnold impersonator says Biff’s line at the end, it seems like my past was altered into a new timeline where that was reality; the Terminator had always spoken that line… even though he sounds stupid when he says it wrong. But then again that can’t be his fault, he’s just a machine.

What’s next? The Matrix meets Big Trouble in Little China? Try and wrap your head around that superb piece of flash-cinema glory.

The Hobbit is, of course, the book that started it all. And it’s nice to see Gandalf the Grey leading the cast for what is sure to be a blockbuster release. I for one will definitely go to the theatre to see this movie. How about you?

Robin Hood chronicles the life of an expert archer, previously interested only in self-preservation, from his service in King Richards army against the French. Upon Richards death, Robin travels to Nottingham, a town suffering from the corruption of a despotic sheriff and crippling taxation, where he falls for the spirited widow Lady Marion, a woman skeptical of the identity and motivations of this crusader from the forest.

Hoping to earn the hand of Maid Marion and salvage the village, Robin assembles a gang whose lethal mercenary skills are matched only by its appetite for life. Together, they begin preying on the indulgent upper class to correct injustices under the sheriff.

By the way, even if you don’t particularly like Andrew Dice Clay as a comedian, this is still a very entertaining movie. Even my wife enjoys it. It’s got a 4.5 star rating on Amazon, and here it is on IMDB. I will say that it is not appropriate for kids though. Lots of racy scenes, but all in all an excellent comedy / action flick.

For the record, what happened prior to the start of part 3 here is that they set the movie up and introduced the characters, and Ford got hired to find a guy who was stalking an all girl band. Now, enjoy…

The background story is that Vincent, a Sicilian who is employed to start a war by kidnapping a princess, tends to overuse the word inconceivable. So, here’s a little compilation of the phrase throughout the movie. Frankly it is inconceivable to me that anyone took the time to put this together!

Check it! We’ve got the young bad ass versions of Kirk, Spock, Uhura, Chekov, Scotty… you name it! They’re all bad to the bone! I’m absolutely giddy.

Frost/Nixon is “A dramatic retelling of the post-Watergate television interviews between British talk-show host David Frost and former president Richard Nixon.” This is the most famous of all of the Nixon interviews and ultimately the one that really sank him. Primarily due to the fact that Nixon answered one of Frost’s question:

When the President does it, that means it is not illegal.

I thought the movie was fantastic. It could have been extremely boring and dry, but they managed to essentially show how difficult it was for this particular interview to actually happen, and how close it was of a disaster to Frost and his team. Essentially, the entire filming was saved during the final interview with Nixon.

And just for the record, here is the actual clip of the president’s famous statement:

By the way, clips from all of the original interviews are on YouTube, so if you want to see how they differ from the movie, feel free!

This is one of those movies that was highly underrated and from which you get a whole slew of classic quotes!

Danny Vermin: You shouldn’t grab me, Johnny. My mother grabbed me once… ONCE!

Roman Moroni: Why you miserable cork-soaker!

Johnny Dangerously: You got those. I like those on a woman.

D.A. Burr: Don’t worry. It’ll still be here when you get back!

Roman Moroni: You fargin sneaky bastage. I’m gonna take your dwork. I’m gonna nail it to the wall. I’m gonna crush your boils in a meat grinder. I’m gonna cut off your arms. I’m gonna shove ‘em up your icehole. Dirty son-a-ma-batches. My own club!

Roman Moroni: This is fargin war!

Jocko Dundee: Take it easy? I’m standing here with my dork in my hand!

I’m not the only one who thinks this. According to IMDB, this movie has an 8.7 out of 10 with 66,922 votes. That currently ranks this move as #34 in the Top 250.

Now, considering that this is the only one of the 5 movies that is really uplifting and inspiring, I’m going to say that it’s most likely going to be my pick for Best Picture. Frankly, I think everyone should see this movie!

The story centers around a man who was born with a strange affliction, possibly related to some sort of supernatural intervention, but never really explained. This affliction caused him to be born and essentially grow into an old man’s body, from which point he continues to get younger and younger.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a love story that weaves together the lives of several different characters in a way seemingly designed to show us there is a time and a place for everything, while simultaneously reminding us that it’s never too late to be the person you were born to be.

This is a complex, yet entertaining movie, but I think the reason its up for a Best Movie Oscar centers around the fact that, in addition to being extremely well acted, it is an entirely unique movie. I’ve never seen anything quite like it!

Here is the trailer, but I highly recommend at least renting it as soon as it’s available. Here is the official movie Web site.

Now here’s the scoop. If you are a fundamentalist who is so opposed to any lifestyle other than your basic religion, don’t even bother trying to see this movie. You are going to see men kissing within the first 5 minutes and then you’ll have to get up and walk out. It’s just not even worth wasting your time.

However, if you consider yourself even partially open minded (you’re not gay, you don’t like it, but you’ll at least tolerate people) then this film is absolutely worth seeing.

I thought that the film’s creators did a fantastic job of emphasizing both the humanity, and the persecution, involved with the characters. The overriding theme of the movie, as far as I could tell, was twofold:

• Gay people just…are. They are different from the majority, but they aren’t trying to impose their own lifestyles on others. Instead, it’s the opposite. We try and impose the majority will and lifestyle on this minority without regard for any semblance of tolerance.
• The struggle for Gay rights was/is more than a political statement. It is a struggle for life itself. No different than seeking women’s rights, or racial equality.

This film has greater than an 8 rating on the IMDB score, which is phenomenal. So I highly recommend that you check it out. And if it wins, I’d definitely support that decision. It is a worthy piece of cinematography.

A complex, multi-layered mystery adventure, Watchmen is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the “Doomsday Clock” – which charts the USA’s tension with the Soviet Union – is permanently set at five minutes to midnight.

When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed-up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion – a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers – Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future.

Their mission is to watch over humanity…but who is watching the watchmen?
