DVD/Blu-ray: Astro Boy

DVD/Blu-ray: Astro Boy
Buy

It didn’t do well in theaters, but we’re still rootin’ for Astro Boy as a robot-tastic flick; it arrives on Blu-ray/DVD 3/16/2010 with deleted scenes, featurettes, and two new animated scenes.

Video: Creating Pandora

Video: Creating Pandora

Avoid it if you haven’t seen Avatar yet, but Creating the World of Pandora is an excellent look behind the scenes; it covers visual effects, sound effects and actor training.

Movie Trailer: MacGruber

Movie Trailer: MacGruber

NSFW: it may have more bad one-liners than a back-to-back marathon of the original SNL sketches, but we’ll be donning our mullets when MacGruber arrives in theaters 4/23/2010.

Movie Trailer: The Wild Hunt

Movie Trailer: The Wild Hunt

NSFW: art both imitates and is imitated by life in The Wild Hunt; this suspense/thriller dives into the world of LARP (live action role-playing) with actual LARPers as background actors.

Website: Film the Blanks

Film the Blanks is an ongoing project to create abstract, minimalist versions of movie posters by blanking out text and reducing shapes and colors; see how many you can guess here.

Blockbusting (Book)

We can’t forgive him for Jar Jar, but George Lucas does know how to make a buck or two at the box office; Blockbusting is his take on the 300 most successful movies of all time.

Movie Trailer: Machotaildrop

Movie Trailer: Machotaildrop

Mix Terry Gilliam with skateboarding and you’ve got Machotaildrop: it sounds awful, but the trailer for this FUEL TV-funded flick is surprisingly fresh and quirky in all the right ways.

Movies As Cartridge Games

Movies As Cartridge Games

Penney Design is the latest to get in on the retro book cover fad, but they do a triple mashup mixing modern movies, old books, and cartridge games; one copy of 2D Avatar, please.

Trailer: The Dungeon Masters

Trailer: The Dungeon Masters

Available on Amazon VOD in February: The Dungeon Masters documents the lives of three D&D players who each get a chance to play heroes in the real world–sans the dice, of course.

Movie Trailer: A-Team

Movie Trailer: A-Team

Still unofficial but cleaner than other trailers we’ve seen, above is the first look at the A-Team reboot due out 6/11/2010; reactions may be mixed, but we pity the fool who doesn’t like this.

Movie Trailer 2: Kick Ass

Movie Trailer 2: Kick Ass

The Hit Girl trailer still rocks our purple socks, but this second trailer for Kick Ass gives the other superheroes some screen time while introducing the movie’s decidedly un-super villains.

She’s Out Of My League

She’s Out Of My League

We’re not exactly romantic comedy types, but She’s Out Of My League is something most guys (even non-moodles) can relate to: it pairs up geeky Jay Baruchel with a smokin’ Alice Eve.

Blu-ray: Moon

Blu-ray: Moon
Buy

Moon lands on Blu-ray 1/12/2010; the mind-bending, character-driven sci-fi film is a mix of 2001 and Solaris and stars Sam Rockwell on a solitary three-year lunar mining mission.

Case Mod: District 9

Case Mod: District 9

Bill Owen’s District 9 case mod is Wikus-worthy: hand-weathered and distressed with rust surfacing and bullet holes, it includes the Prawn-DNA canister, alien lettering, and MNU logo.

Trailer: From Paris With Love

Trailer: From Paris With Love

From Paris With Love has John Travolta looking his sharpest (and shiniest) since Face Off; he stars alongside Jonathan Rhys Meyers in this action/thriller, due in theaters 2/5/2010.

Zombieland (Blu-ray)

Zombieland (Blu-ray)
Buy

Dark undead comedy Zombieland arrives on Blu-ray 2/2/10 with a behind the scenes PiP track, deleted and effects progressions scenes, and actor, writer, and director commentary.

Movie Trailer: Inception

Movie Trailer: Inception

Despite exposition courtesy Dicaprio, this trailer for Inception does little to help us understand its plot; still, we’re liking the mind games aspect of this sci-fi thriller, due out summer 2010.

Video: Cinema 2009

Video: Cinema 2009

Kees van Dijkhuizen’s Cinema 2009 is a blockbuster end to the year, with 342 movies compressed into seven glorious cinematic minutes; see the full list here or watch it in 1080p here.

Trailer 2: Robin Hood

Trailer 2: Robin Hood

Robin Hood gets a second, far more sweeping trailer than the first; Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett score face time, but this video belongs to his merry (and many, many, many) men.

Movie Trailer: Karate Kid

Movie Trailer: Karate Kid

Jackie, Jaden, and jackets replace Miyagi, Daniel, and wax-on, but we’re cautiously optimistic over this first trailer for The Karate Kid; it reboots the 1984 classic and swaps karate for kung fu.

Blu-ray: Stargate 15th Anniv.

Blu-ray: Stargate 15th Anniv.
Buy

The SG team finally gets a proper release Stargate: 15th Anniversary Edition on Blu-ray; it includes both the theatrical and director’s cuts, lossless audio, and three new featurettes.

Trailer: Knight and Day

Trailer: Knight and Day

Tom Cruise has gotten a bad rap for his off-screen antics, but Knight and Day sees him in top gun form; co-starring Cameron Diaz, it’s a reboot of True Lies with a little Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

Hit Girl: Kick-Ass

Hit Girl: Kick-Ass

Totally, utterly NSFW: this Hit Girl teaser trailer for Kick-Ass is truly red band (plus a flash of purple), with plenty of over-the-top (and under the belt) gun and sword violence.
