This is the second trailer to Philly’s finest & the magnificient DJ Jazzy Jeff’s recent tour of Asia….I’m ready for him to drop the whole thing. Good idea for him to use The White Stripes ‘Seven Nation Army’ in this clip. In case you missed the previous trailer just click on the link below.
Prometheus (Movie Trailer)
Prometheus was originally set to be the prequel to the classic Alien film series, but the director decided to make the movie into an original story involving the same Alien creatures. Ridley Scott, director of “Alien” and “Blade Runner,” returns to the genre he helped define. With PROMETHEUS, he creates a groundbreaking mythology, in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race. The movie, anchored by talented actors Idris Elba & Charlize Theron, hits theaters Summer of 2012…
Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance (Film Trailer)
Marvel returns with the sequel to the first Ghost Rider film starring Nicholas Cage. This time Marvel character Method Man Johnny Blaze returns in Ghost Rider: The Spirit Of Vengeance which is due to hit theaters February 17th. I wasn’t too impressed with the first Ghost Rider film, but this trailer for the sequel appears very promising. A February release date for the movie could mean that’s it’s not that good, but I hope Marvel filmmakers surprise us on this one. After watching the trailer I’m already surprised to see actor Idris Elba in this this flick which makes it his second Marvel feature film appearance since the movie Thor that dropped last summer. Who knows? Every Wu-Tang Clan fans knows Johnny Blaze is one of Method Man’s alter egos just like Ghostface Killah’s alter ego is Tony Starks. Maybe Marvel will have a special cameo from Method Man in this film just like Ghostface had in Iron Man sequel before the scene was deleted from the theatrical version.
Three Stooges 2012 (Trailer)
Like most of us, I grew up watching hours upon hours of Three Stooges reruns & whenever I do happen to catch classic episodes on late night cable television while flipping channels it’s not often that I change the channel right away after finding it. Hollywood is giving the Three Stooges a reboot of sorts with Larry, Moe, & Curly hitting theaters next year. The movie was shot entirely here in Atlanta as I’ve passed by their set a few times last summer when finally I asked a few production cats what they were working on. Hopefully the film is much funnier than what the trailer gives us although I did chuckle out loud at the clip of a Nun rising out of swimming pool like Bo Derek…
Life & Freaky Times of Uncle Luke (Film Trailer)
This short film that’s about to drop starring Miami’s unofficial Mayor Uncle Luke has been has been selected for the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. Judging by the visual aspects of the film it looks very good & for it to be selected to run at Sundance it may have a very good storyline as well….
“Life and Freaky Times of Uncle Luke” is undeniably entertaining, whether you get the cultural references or not. It is a smart and intricately self-reflexive example of what cultural theorist Jim Collins has called ‘the perpetual circulation and recirculation of signs that form the fabric of postmodern cultural life.’ Mayer and her collaborator are quintessential bricoleurs. In ‘Uncle Luke,’ street-credible slang and classic booty beats reconstruct a landmark of film history. High and low, art and entertainment, fiction and reality become multiple facets of an intellectually-integrated work that specifically depends on cultural quotation. The parallels are both narrative and structural. Whereas ‘La Jetee’ is constructed from stills, referencing the psychological relationship between photography and memory, ‘Uncle Luke” draws from the nostalgia power of Mayer’s two dimensional boards.” – Art Papers
Ex-Drug Dealer Says Tyler Perry Took Money From Him To Build His Empire (Video)
A former promoter/drug dealer by the name of Melvin Childs claims that he helped finance Tyler Perry early on in his career. Now the man is speaking out with a new book called ‘Never Would Have Made It’ about his side of the story. Check out the trailer above to the new book. Based on the look of the trailer he should probably do a full length film about it…

Red Tails (Movie Trailer III)
I can’t wait to see this movie & in a way I wish it would have opened during the holidays instead of on January 20th 2012, but I’ll be in the theater regardless when it opens. This is the third alternate trailer from the film. Check the briefing below about this particular trailer to the movie…
“1944. As the war in Europe continues to take its toll on Allied forces, the Pentagon brass has no recourse but to consider unorthodox options – including the untried and untested African-American pilots of the experimental Tuskegee training program. Just as the young Tuskegee men are on the brink of being shut down and shipped back home, they are given the ultimate chance to show their courage. Against all the odds, with something to prove and everything to lose, these intrepid young airmen take to the skies to fight for their country – and the fate of the free world.” – Lucasfilms

J. Edgar (Movie Trailer)
Leonardo DiCaprio takes on the lead role in this biographical film based on the life of J. Edgar Hoover. Directed by Clint Eastwoood, the film is scheduled to hit theaters this November. J. Edgar Hoover was a very polarizing figure in our nation’s history especially with his often illegal use of spy & intimidation tactics he employed on various figures within American society including but not limited to U.S. Presidents. I’m hoping that Clint Eastwood does an accurate portrayal on J. Edgar Hoover without trying to make him out to be some sort of hero or saint. I’m interested in seeing this film as long as it doesn’t distort the truth about who J. Edgar Hoover was.
George Lucas “Red Tails” Film (Trailer)
George Lucas is widely known for his Star Wars series of films over the years, but one of the many projects he’s had in the works over the last 23 years has been the upcoming film “Red Tails” based on the true story of the Tuskegee Airmen during World War II. I’m really looking forward to this film when it’s released in January of next year not only because of its historical significance, but also in how the Lucasfilm magic is employed in the special effects. The action in this trailer sequence is an indication of that at work. The movie stars Cuba Gooding Jr, Terrence Howard, Method Man, Ne-Yo, & Nate Parker and is directed by “Treme’s” Anthony Hemingway.
Captain America: The First Avenger – Shield Fight Scene (Movie Clip)

Due in theaters September 23rd, the film revolves around the struggling Oakland A’s Major league baseball franchise & one man’s attempt to change the franchise’s fortunes around. After watching the trailer I was excited to see this film starring Brad Pitt as it’s based on a true story story & book written by Michael Lewis.
