I can’t believe I’m about to post this. As you well know I’ll watch anything, and I mean anything. I’ve even sat through some of Van Damme’s Direct-to-DVD crap of the past few years. I never thought I’d actually be excited about seeing about a new Van Damme movie. Please to be watching the trailer below for
Mabrouk El Mechri’s JCVD. JCVD is a movie about Jean-Claude Van Damme, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. Confused? Just watch the damn trailer, I promise you’ll enjoy it.

Sidenote: I really hope this doesn’t go direct-to-dvd. It seems to deserve a theatrical release.

I Sell The Dead Trailer

Glenn McQuaid’s I Sell the Dead trailer has a wicked sense of humor and a killer cast. The film is currently slated for release sometime in 2008. It will most likely be direct-to-dvd or a small theatrical run. I’ll post more as soon I find out. Check out the trailer below and post some damn comments.

Stumpsock is a friend of mine, Josh “Disco” Hamm, who will be posting here form time to time. In the near future he’ll be doing some direct-to-dvd reviews as well as random postings such as the one below. I hope you enjoy his sense of humor as much as I do. Cheers –

Vikings Vs. Aliens Outlander Trailer. Direct to DVD? NO!!!!!!!

Upon seeing the trailer for Howard McCain’s Outlander I had visions of Pathfinder and The 13th Warrior, but the geek in me still had hope that it might be the good film, or at least the enjoyable mess that aforementioned never turned out to be. Sadly it looks at though this film will get dumped to DVD this November. Though the official blog for the film, which you can read here, states that the production company is obligated to at least a limited theatrical run it’s unclear what the fate of this film will actually be. Let’s cross our fingers that we get to see this on the big screen. Check out the trailer below.

X-Files Rumors, Coen Brothers Truths, and a Whole mess of other stuff including that whackjob Tom Cruise….

It had been previously reported on a few sites that the a third X-Files film was in the works an was in fact headed Direct-to-DVD. Fortunately Frank Spotnitz (Producer/Writer) has dubunked this rumor on his official blog which you can read here.
The Coen’s made some interesting casting choices for their new flick A Serious Man, Richard Kind,(Mad About You,Spin City) and Michael Stuhlbarg a Tony award winning stage actor have been cast in the leads. SERIOUS , set in 1967, centers on Larry Gopnik (Stuhlbarg), a Midwestern professor whose life begins to unravel when his wife sets out to leave him and his socially inept brother (Kind) won’t move out of the house. Here’s a link to the JoBlo article I stole this from.
Is there anything that Tom Cruise hasn’t been at least attached to at one point or another in his career? AICN says that Tom Cruise is talking with Sam Raimi (yes the guy who is reviving Jack Ryans lame ass) about bringing DC Comics/Windstorm’s “Sleeper” to the big screen.
“Sleeper” written by Ed Brubaker with art by Sean Phillips, ran from 2003-05 and centers on an operative whose fusion with an alien artifact makes him impervious to pain and allows him to pass it on to others through skin contact. He is placed undercover in a villainous organization by an intelligence agency and falls for a member of the group, named Miss Misery.
And finally the awesome Dread Central has an interesting interview with Todd Farmer the screenwriter responsible for the new “My Bloody Valentine” remake…in 3-D. Yes I said it, in 3-D. If ever there was a film that deserved a 3-D treatment this certainly wouldn’t be it. I can’t get over what an awful idea this really is, but check out the interview anyway. It’s a crappy idea, but maybe it will be the kind of crappy that will make us all giggle. The interview is here.
