Movies

Available March 24th, Tales of the Black Freighter (DVD, BD) is an animated retelling of a fictional comic book within the Watchmen; for some, it’s arguably the best part of the graphic novel.

Starring a familiar (if not nameable) cast, Alien Trespass is an homage to sci-fi B-movies with flying saucers, rayguns and one-eyed aliens; it’ll see a limited release April 3.

Holy Taco’s Honest Movie Posters cut through the marketing B.S. and truthfully retitle several famous flicks; ironically, we’d be more likely to watch these movies with Taco’s new titles.

We’re still saving our opinions for the upcoming movie, but these Watchmen Kubricks (available 6/09) are pretty awesome, film or no film; the Comedian and Rorschach are our faves.

Crank: High Voltage is the sequel to the original 2006 film; Jason Statham still stars as a hitman, this time with an artificial heart that he needs to periodically jump start to stay alive. Thanks, J!

Rated 20% by Rotten Tomatoes, Mutant Chronicles is a bad, bad movie; still, any film that squeezes in Ron Perlman, John Malkovich, and steampunk tech screams cult classic.

Afro Samurai: Resurrection–the movie, not the game–is premiering on Spike TV 1/25 at 10PT/9CT in an edited form; a Director’s Cut and Blu-ray version will follow on 2/3. Warning: explicit.

Take Predator and Critters and throw in some Viking warriors and you’ve either got the bomb of the summer or an insanely cool sci-fi flick; either way, the Outlander trailer above rocks.

Well known for apparel that shows up in Hollywood films, Belstaff’s slick heavyweight wax cotton Trialmaster Jacket is based on the same one worn by Will Smith in I Am Legend.

There’s nothing sophisticated about Kevin James’ brand of physical slapstick comedy, but we couldn’t help cracking up over this trailer for Paul Blart: Mall Cop; it’s showing in theaters now.

Guns and telekinesis can only mean some crazy fight sequences, and this extended clip from Push does “push” the envelope; it could use some finesse, but it’s intriguing nevertheless.

Directed by Justin Lin (who made the better of the F&F sequels), Fast & Furious has a new trailer up; it starts with fast-paced foot chase and finishes with Vin Diesel being… Vin Diesel.

Few things are more hated than Nazis, zombies and entitled coeds, but Dead Snow dares to combine them all into a bloody Sundance film; this has epic win splattered all over it.

Fresh from IMAGI (who brought us the Astro Boy and Gatchman teasers), T-28 is a resurrection of the Tetsujin manga; it hasn’t been picked up by a studio per se, but it sure looks promising.

Coming to theaters January 23, Hajirai Machine Girl is not for the faint of heart; only in Japan would a machine gun emerging from a bikini girl’s behind seem even remotely normal.

Called “a near-perfect war film” by Time Magazine, The Hurt Locker follows an Army bomb disposal unit in Iraq; first released in Italy in 2008, it’s due to hit US shores in Spring 2009.

A funky mix of Borat meets St. Elmo’s Fire meets The Office, The Zangief Chronicles is the only time we’ll admit looking forward to watching a hairy shirtless guy. Thanks, Tommy!

With Djimon Hounsou and Fantastic Four’s Chris Evans, Push is like the cinematic version of Heroes; it focuses on government-hired psychics divided into 10 types of powers.

There’s a whole mess of spoilers over at /Film today for Terminator: Salvation in the form of Playmates action figures; they ain’t pretty, but they give a peek at the various robot models.
