Awesome Movies

No, CollegeHumor’s Movies by the Numbers isn’t how little Hollywood producers learn to count; it remixes films with numbers in their titles, forming a continuous line from 1 to 50.

In theaters 11/25/09, The Road’s second trailer is light on new revelations but still delivers; we catch glimpses of more action sequences as well as heartening father and son dialog.

A potent mix of sports and history, Invictus is the true story of how Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) and a rugby team captain (Matt Damon) bring political change to South Africa.

Turn your speakers down: this brilliant Pulp Fiction Audio Mix turns sound clips from the movie into a percussive performance a-la Stomp, albeit with slightly more profane instruments.

The official domestic trailer for James Cameron’s Avatar is up; a teaser it ain’t, with over three minutes of somewhat weighty dialog, flying Na’Vi, and Sigourney Weaver looking pissed.

NSFW: we admit that Smokin’ Aces 2: Assassins’ Ball is sexy, somewhat dumb fun, but anyone who liked the original is going to love this new trailer; the prequel arrives on DVD 1/19.

Three years after the DVD release, The Mel Brooks Collection comes to Blu-ray with one ludicrously schwartz-filled extra: Spaceballs; you’ll get nine total films plus a collectible book.

Created with Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk in celebration of the movie’s 10th anniversary, this Fight Club tee is as official (and anarchic) as it gets; also available as a poster here.

Inglourious Basterds’ not-so-merry band of Nazi hunters comes to Blu-ray 12/15; it includes a roundtable with Quentin Tarantino, gag reel, alternate scenes and a digital copy.

Due out 11/17/09, the Star Trek Limited Edition Replica Gift Set not only includes the three Blu-ray discs + digital copy of the regular set, but a solid metal, 8.5″ replica of the USS Enterprise.

The acting is classic low-budget disaster movie, but for sci-fi fans there’s no ignoring city-sized alien spaceships: watch the first eight minutes of ABC’s reimagined sci-fi series, V.

From lumberjacks to knights, Monty Python: Almost The Truth squeezes 40 years into 8 hours; it interviews all five living members plus modern comedians like Jimmy Fallon and Seth Green.

It may be called Season of the Witch, but this teaser (which shows a shaggy, medieval Nick Cage opposite Ron Perlman) screams zombie-flick: how do we know? “Cut off the head!”

Tyler Durden’s Fight Club comes to Blu-ray 11/17; in addition to 1080p video and DTS-HD 5.1 sound, it includes an Ed Norton interview, deleted scenes and four audio commentaries.

We enjoyed the Arena Battle clip, but this Astro Boy vs. Peacekeeper video gives us exactly what we want: a giant robot on not-so-giant robot, city-leveling slugfest (with butt guns).

While Akira Kurosawa’s later works are an acquired taste, there’s no denying how badass Rashomon and Seven Samurai were; AK 100 collects all 25 films of his career on 25 DVDs.

NSFW: Still can’t wrap your noggin’ around Google Wave? This Pulp Fiction mashup by Joe Sabia should “bang” some sense into your head; it’s basically chat with 72 point font and pictures.

Mel Gibson is in full bad-ass form in Edge of Darkness, a suspense/thriller about a father who loses his daughter; in theaters 01/29/10, it’s a bit of Payback mixed with Conspiracy Theory.

Plot would only get in the way with a cast this awesome: The Expendables includes Sly Stallone, Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren, Jet Li, Jason Statham, and more guns than the NRA.

With two Shaun of the Dead alums (Bill Nighy and Nick Frost) plus Philip Seymour Hoffman, we’re having a hard time tuning out Pirate Radio; based on a true story, it’ll debut 11/13.

Depicting one of Tinseltown’s most epic battles, this Indiana Jones vs. Mola Ram diorama should set hearts ablaze for movie fans; it stands 16.5″ high and is made of polystone.

The trailer for Toy Story 3 is finally out: we won’t spoil it for you, but it suffices to say we get to see several old characters in a new light–and in the case of one, a brand new language.

The greatest movie never made is now a book: Stanley Kubrick’s Napoleon is a collection of 10 smaller books that includes the last draft of the script and thousands of scouting photos.
