Watchmen – The Official Movie Trailers and Photos

watchmenThis is the last of the movie trailers that I’m posting this week which I’m interested in seeing when they come out. I’ve never heard of the Watchmen before, but it kind of looks like an X-men type of thing, except without all of the legitimate powers. But frankly, any movie with a chick this hot that runs around in a rubber outfit with garters has to be good!

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?

The Pink Panther 2 Trailer

The Pink Panther 2I don’t know how many of you guys are fans of silly movies, but I’ve enjoyed every Pink Panther movie I ever saw. Even Son of the Pink Panther starring Robert Benigni.

Anyway, a couple of years ago Steve Martin and Beyonce Knowles did a remake of the original classic The Pink Panther, and I added it to my DVD collection which already included all the other original Pink Panther movies. Now, three years later it looks like we’re going to get the second installation featuring Steve Martin as the infamous Jaques Clouseau in The Pink Panther 2. And, as an added bonus John Cleese, of Monty Python fame, will fill in as Inspector Dreyfus.

So if you enjoy slapstick comedy and silliness in your movies, this one should not disappoint.

Underworld 3 Rise of the Lycans – Official Movie Trailer

Underworld 3 Rise of the LycansOk. Looks like this is turning into the week of movie trailers because there are a bunch that I can’t wait to see!

Next on the list after yesterday’s X-Men Origins is Underworld 3 – Rise of the Lycans. I’m not into horror movies, but I love action movies which is what saves this series for me. Underworld is essentially about an epic struggle between vampires and werewolves, but not a series in which they stalk people. It’s just an action genre that happens to star them.

The following summary does a better job than I could explaining what’s going on. And after you’re done, you can see the trailer. Enjoy!

X-Men Origins: Wolverine Trailer

x-men-origins-wolverineFor fans of the X-Men movies, the prequel X-Men Origins is due out May 1, 2009 – and good lord does it look awesome!!!

Wolverine lives a mutant life, seeks revenge against Victor Creed (who will later become Sabretooth) for the death of his girlfriend, and ultimately ends up going through the mutant Weapon X program. Essentially we get to learn how he becomes basically a complete bad ass here.

Oh, and as a special bonus for the ladies. Hugh Jackman is more ripped in this movie than he was in the last.

The SECOND Worst Microsoft Commercial Ever – A Tommy Boy Parody

Microsoft\'s Tommy Boy SpoofWow. That was a long title for this post. Possibly my longest ever. But you know what? This one deserves it. Now, the emotional part of me that really loves Tommy Boy wanted to call this the worst Microsoft commercial ever. But clearly it isn’t worse than the current reigning gem. Still, it is a travesty of justice.

To make matters worse, this one doesn’t just star some terribly bad actors. It actually has Microsoft executives in it – including CEO Steve Balmer! So, go ahead and check it out. And may God have mercy on their souls.

Tommy Boy Quotes and Clips

Tommy BoyI’d have to say that Tommy Boy remains my most quoted movie of all time. Sure, I pull out Office Space a lot, but I still have to keep coming back to the well with Tommy Boy quotes.

So, for those of you who haven’t seen it (may God have mercy on your soul) I’ve assembled the best stuff I could find from the movie right here for your viewing pleasure. And for those of you who have seen it, did you eat a lot of paint chips as a kid?

Stress Relief Paintball Game

Stress Relief GameIt’s been one of those weeks folks, so I decided that we needed a new game around here and the Stress Relief Paintball game seemed like just the trick!

The premise of this game is that you fire paintballs at happy faces that appear all over your office. You’ve got to be fairly accurate and hit several of the smilies in order to move on to the next level. Just use your mouse to aim and fire!

Hint: You can reload your paint ball gun in the bottom right corner. So give it a try!
