Dear Internet,
You have again shown us your hatred and wrongful judgement over the past few days. You said horrible things, destroyed a man's excitement for getting this magnificent chance. Ben Affleck is a great actor and a fantastic director and yes, he might have played a blind superhero in the past but you shouldn't judge him on one performance. One bad choice he has made. I mean, look at Colin Farrell as Bullseye, probably in my top 25 list of most terrible villains of all time.

The whole drama you boys and girls are causing is in a way good publicity for the movie. The first Superman movie from Zack Snyder was, well, let's say it was just meh. I didn't care about it either because I'm not into superheroes that much, except Batman. People are using arguments or are yelling that WB has made the wrong choice. Others are saying that this is the same story like Heath Ledger's role in The Dark Knight. First off all, you should never compare a finished trilogy to a Superman sequel. It's going to be diferent and you know it.

Second, Ben Afflick can easily play an older Batman. I mean, wasn't this the point of the whole Dark Knight trilogy? Batman is a symbol and the torch needs be passed to another person. The symbol must live on to protect the world from criminals. Yes, ok, it's not Gordon-Levitt and thank god for that. The trilogy stands on it's own and it had it's run. Just be happy that Nolan made three tw Batman movies and one golden one, thanks to the performance of Heath Ledger. We shouldn't care about the person who's behind the mask. I'll compare Affleck's Batman like I compare Clooney's or Kilmer's Batman. For me, there's only one and that's Bale's Batman. If Afflick manages to do a better job than Bale, I'll be damned happy too. I'll end it with a quote. Fits perfectly.

‘People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy and I can’t do that as Bruce Wayne, as a man I’m flesh and blood I can be ignored I can be destroyed but as a symbol, as a symbol I can be incorruptible, I can be everlasting.’

Walking Games Trailertime!

The Walking Games: Catching Zombies

It's been a few weeks I've posted stuff so my apologies. I'm trying to get back on the horse and I'm working on new formula's to test on the site. Let's continue our regular schedule!

As we all know Comic Con happened this weekend and with CC alot of new trailers for our favourite movies and tv series. I'd like to share two thingies with you and those are The Walking Dead S4 and Hunger Games: Catching Fire. The Walking Dead seems that it completely went offtrack with the comics so I am kind of excited where this will end. I don't really compare anymore and any comparison is just nice but after three seasons we all have to realize that they want to do something else with it. They have the basic material, the locations, a main story but they are free to do what they want.

Hell, the writers could even kill off Daryl!
Robert Kirkman, the creator of the comics, told this to reporters after AMC’s The Walking Dead panel: But specifically about the Daryl thing–that fan reaction is going to get him killed. I feel like it’s a dare. Like, ‘Oh, really? You’re gonna riot? We’ll see…we’ll see. No one is safe.”

I guess not. I'm really curious where they're going to take this. The only thing I wish for TWD is that they leave some of the drama and venture out of the prison. The surviving aspect needs to get back on the table again! Let's hope this will happen in season 4.

And let's not forget our second trailer of the week: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

Greetings and salutations everyone. I'd like to thank you all for following me in my mission to get this blog as popular as it was back in the days. I've been inactive for two weeks and I completely forgot to warn you guys about it so my apologies for that! I'll be posting soon again but I have a lot of stuff happening right now. Thanks for sticking around!

Lego Z

2013-06-24T15:50:00.000-07:00

Lego Movie reveals first trailer

The Lego Movie has released a fresh new trailer.The computer-animated adventure comedy follows an average LEGO figure called Emmet who has been mistaken as the Masterbuilder. Our Anti-hero is sent on a mission to defeat an evil dictator who's plotting to destroy the universe... well, kind of.

Emmet is voiced by Parks And Recreation Chris Pratt and is joined by an amazing voice cast which includes Will Ferrell, Morgan Freeman, Alison Bree, Liam Neeson, Elizabeth Banks, Nick Offerman and Will "Lego Batman" Arnett. The Lego Movie was directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller and opens on 14 February 2014.

World War Z gets a sequel

Brad Pitt will be back for more zombie packed action as Paramount is planning a sequel to World War Z The film truly opened with a big yield of $66 million, financially enough for Paramount to make more movies about the overrunning zombie franchise.

Paramount Chairman Rob Moore has confirmed that the studio is actively developing a second film and Pitt will be joining as producer and lead role.

No idea if this is bad or good news.

The 300 Bald Matt Damons for Elysium

2013-06-15T12:37:00.002-07:00

New trailer for 300: Rise Of An Empire

The first trailer for Noam Murro‘s 300 sequel, 300: Rise Of An Empire, has just been released. If you liked the graphic novel wittiness of the original, then pick up your swords, shields and sixpacks and join the new bloody mayham.

The sequel follows a large sea battle between the defending Greeks and the invading Persian army, as well as explains the story behind King Xerxes and his almighty force. Greek general Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) marches on the Persian armies with his right hand woman Artemisia( Eva Green ) whilst Queen Cersei Lannister/Gorgo ( Lena Headey ) tries to stop them.

Do not expect a brilliant storyline but a lot of violence and exciting action scenes. 300: Rise Of An Empire will open in the US on 7 March 2014. I'll probably bring a table with me to the theatre and dine in "Hell".

New Elysium TV Spot

Neil Blomkamp's Elysium has released a first official TV spot, in which Matt Damon prepares for an attack on Elysium, the futuristic upper-class sanctuary for the rich.

It's 2159 and the population of Earth is split into two classes: The wealthy inhabitants of the Elysium space station and the poor buggars left on the ruined planet. Matt Damon plays Bald Matt Damon "Max", a man in need of access to the space station. Social world problems and a lot of action. It looks and feels like District 9 so I'm guessing it's gonna be pretty fun to watch.

Co-starring Sharlto Copley, Alice Braga and Diego Luna, Elysium will open in the US on 8 August 2013.

The Desolation of Need For Speed

2013-06-11T15:07:00.001-07:00

New epic trailer for The Desolation of Smaug

An epic first trailer for The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug has been released online and you can watch it right here.

The film picks up where the events of An Unexpected Journey has left us: Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) and his spicy gang of Dwarves are on their way to reclaim their homeland. Forward to the Lonely Mountain!

But it's not that easy though, with their homeland currently inhabited by Sherlock Smaug, a rather huge dragon played by Benedict Cumberbatch. And there's even more to worry because they're still hunted by Azog the Defiler, a group of Woodland Elves and creatures from the Necromancer, also played by Benedict Cumberbatch. Oh evil evil Cumberbatch.

Part also 2 introduces Evangeline Lilly’s newly created character, warrior Elf Tauriel, Luke Evans’ steely Bard the Bowman and Legolas! Check the good stuff out:

On set promo for Need For Speed

A video game adaption? "Run while you still can" would be my personal answer but this gem might be different. DreamWorks' forthcoming adaptation of videogame franchise Need For Speed has revealed a behind-the-scenes video.

Director Scott Waugh talks about just how exciting the new film will be.
"I'm going to allow you that thrill," says Waugh, "and put you in that seat and let you drive at 200mph". And amid all that, there might be a story in there somewhere too!

Aaron Paul is in it so yeah, cars& nitro bitch! Take a look at the new video here:

Movie Monstrosity Blog: The Ascension

2013-06-01T16:43:00.002-07:00

It's time for a fresh start. A new beginning. The rise of an old veteran returning to the battlefield for the last time, a battle with only one goal: Victory over the Blogosphere! I'm probably making no sense to you but that's alright. You know what they say: When life gives you potatoes, you make potato salad. And I got just the recipe. Allons-y..... or Geronimo!

Matt Smith leaves Doctor Who

It's a sad day for Doctor Who-fans, or Whovians as we call them. The Eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith, is leaving the series at the end of this year. Viewers will see his Doctor regenerate in the 2013 Christmas special but we will be seeing him in the 50th anniversary episode in November, which Smith has already filmed.

Matt Smith first stepped into the Tardis in 2010 and began his four year span as the goofy but emotionally striking Doctor. The Tenth Doctor, David Tennant, did a magnificent job and made him unforgettable. Smith had to do an even better job and somehow he managed to create a brilliant Doctor. I pity the actor who'll have to play the Twelfth Doctor.

Some words from Showrunner Steven Moffat:

"Every day, on every episode, in every set of rushes, Matt Smith surprised me. The way he'd turn a line, or spin on his heels, or make something funny, or out of nowhere make me cry - I just never knew what was coming next.

"The Doctor can be clown and hero - often at the same time - and Matt rose to both challenges magnificently. And even better than that, given the pressures of this extraordinary show, he is one of the nicest and hardest-working people I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Whatever we threw at him - sometimes literally - his behaviour was always worthy of the Doctor."

"Great actors always know when it's time for the curtain call, so this Christmas prepare for your hearts to break as we say goodbye to number 11. Thank you Matt - bow ties were never cooler," said Moffat.

The statement of Matt Smith:

"Doctor Who has been the most brilliant experience for me as an actor and a bloke, and that largely is down to the cast, crew and fans of the show.

"I'm incredibly grateful to all the cast and crew who work tirelessly every day to realise all the elements of the show and deliver Doctor Who to the audience. Many of them have become good friends and I'm incredibly proud of what we have achieved over the last four years.

"Having Steven Moffat as show runner write such varied, funny, mind bending and brilliant scripts has been one of the greatest and most rewarding challenges of my career. It's been a privilege and a treat to work with Steven - he's a good friend and will continue to shape a brilliant world for the Doctor.
The fans of Doctor Who around the world are unlike any other; they dress up, shout louder, know more about the history of the show (and speculate more about the future of the show) in a way that I've never seen before.

"Your dedication is truly remarkable. Thank you so very much for supporting my incarnation of the Time Lord, number 11, who I might add is not done yet - I'm back for the 50th anniversary and the Christmas special.

"It's been an honour to play this part, to follow the legacy of brilliant actors, and helm the Tardis for a spell with 'the ginger, the nose and the impossible one'. But when ya gotta go, ya gotta go and Trenzalore calls. Thank you guys. Matt."

So who's going to be The Twelfth Doctor? Benedict Cumberbatch? Hugh Laurie? Tom Hiddleston? Ben Wishow? David Morrissey? Let's start guessing!

International Trailer for Django Unchained! | Prometheus sequel

2012-06-13T12:58:00.002-07:00

After an extremely long break, I have finally returned to my Iron Throne. What have I been doing? Living Like a Lannister of course! That's what I've been doing. Living Like a Lannister, sounds catchy. I have to coin that.

Django Unchained trailers released

Revenge story? Check. An amazing cast? Check. Tarantinoesque cinematography? Double Check. Oscar-nominations. Triple Check.

~~Inglorious Ba~~ Sorry, Django Unchained has all those qualifications. One week ago, they've released a teaser trailer online with an amazing soundtrack. Today, they've released a full trailer. This time, with a quick look at Samuel L. Jackson. Bingo!

Set in the South two years before the Civil War, Django Unchained stars Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz). Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles - dead or alive.

Success leads Schultz to free Django, though the two men choose not to go their separate ways. Instead, Schultz seeks out the South's most wanted criminals with Django by his side. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago. If Django and Schultz are to escape with Broomhilda, they must choose between independence and solidarity, between sacrifice and survival...

Here's the teaser and the international trailer. I've watched the Italian dubbed first, and I found it so ironic that an American Spaghetti Western was dubbed into Italian. It used to be otherwise in the past!

Ridley Scott wants Prometheus sequel

With the prequel running in theatres, Scott has proven himself again that he is able to create magnificent horror/action movies. Prometheus is more of a Xenomorph of both worlds, combined with great visuals and brilliant acting from Fassbender. It's very logical that there will be a sequel.

From the very beginning, I was working from a premise that lent itself to a sequel," says Scott. "I really don't want to meet God in the first one. I want to leave it open to Shaw saying, 'I don’t want to go back to where I came from. I want to go where they came from.'"

The original title for Prometheus was going to be Paradise, intimating that Paradise would probably now be the title of the sequel.

"I'd love to explore where [Dr. Shaw] goes next and what does she do when she gets there," says Scott, "because if it is paradise, paradise can not be what you think it is. Paradise has a connotation of being extremely sinister and ominous."

"Because [the Engineers] are such aggressive fuckers," he continues, "I always had it in there that the God-like creature that you will see actually is not so nice, and is certainly not God."

BIG THINGS HAVE SMALL BEGINNINGS INDEED.

Also, The soundtrack from Prometheus is now my alarm clock. Waking up is awesome now.

Bullhead in US theaters soon | Machete Returns | Spider-man trailer launches

2012-02-07T11:34:00.000-08:00

We are up and running again. Welcome to this place of serenity, a place where we can chat about films, music, films and of course films. This is MMB, and we're back on our feet! _________________________________

Bullhead will soon appear in US theaters

The Oscar nominated film Bullhead/Rundskop will appear in US theaters on 17 February 2012, a few days before the Oscar ceremony. Bullhead won the award for Best Film on several film festivals, thanks to the brilliant acting of Mathias Schoenaerts, who prepared for the role for two years, only eating thousands of chicken breasts, pasta and rice combined with excessive lifting training. He gained 60 pounds of muscle for the role which is truly amazing. Eat that, Christian Bale.

Bullhead tells the story of Belgium’s illegal hormone trade, mixed with an impossible love and a complicated, emotional main character who is on the verge of breaking down. Distributor Drafthouse Films will be opening the Oscar-nominated film on February 17th, 2012 in New York, Los Angeles and Austin. The US trailer is released.

Machete is back for more unnecessary but fun violence

Robert Rodriguez has started to give more information on "Machete Kills", the swordy action sequel for Machete. Danny Trejo is in talks to reprise his role as the badass Mexican with an attitude and it seems that the plot is busted with B-movie trash.

The main character Machete will have to battle a billionaire arms dealer who plans to spread war across the world with a weapon of mass destruction. Sounds like a regular action movie? Not quite, the mega weapon will be located in space. How d'you like them apples?

The first film made 44 million, which quadrupled the 10 million budget for the film. The script is written and shooting begins in April. The movie will appear in cinemas somewhere in 2013.

New The Amazing Spider-man trailer launched

My next words are very opinionish and I would try to exclude my opinion out of these posts but I just have to do this. Sam Raimi's version of Spiderman ( with Tobey Maguire) was so awful I had to murder every spider that I saw after watching the first film. I never liked Spiderman and after watching Raimi's version I had to puke and change my opinion to hatred. When I heard about a reboot, I puked even harder and my opinion didn't change after watching the teaser. It had a whole "Mirror-Edgy" first person feeling and it just didn't feel good.

But Columbia Pictures has released a new trailer containing a completely different Spiderman. Andrew Garfield plays a darker, sexy and laughable character. Spidey has to fight against new villain " The Lizard", a role played by Rhys Ifans. It seems that it's a bit different. This story has nothing to do with the original trilogy as you will notice the tagline "The Untold Story" in the trailer.

Spider-Man,' which stars Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker and Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, will hit theaters on July 3, 2012.

Happy New Year!

2011-12-31T07:23:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year everyone! Expect to be blown away in 2012 in term of movies! Oh, don't watch New Year's Eve, there's a horse and a man who doesn't know what he's doing any more in it. Oh yeah, and Zac Efron.

Time for a recap of the TOP 11 Film Riot Moments of 2011. Prepare to be smithereened by the awesomeness!

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - Announcement Trailer - WATCH IN 1080P!

Speechless. Here are the lyrics if you want to sing along while you watch this 150 times like I just did.

Far over the Misty Mountains cold,

To dungeons deep and caverns old,

The pines were roaring on the heights,

The wind were moaning in the night,

The fire was red, it flaming spread,

The trees like torches blazed with light.

The Dark Knight Rises Trailer

Oh wow. I've been sharing those spoilers of the set but seriously, this looks amazing! I was completely obliterated by this trailer.

Wrath of the Titans Official Trailer

The whole 3D post conversion of Clash Of The Titans was just terrible. Let's hope this one will be better!

Dexter and South Park renewed and Jack Dawson Dies Again

2011-11-22T13:06:00.000-08:00

Hello everybody and welcome to Movie Monstrosity Blog, the movie blog which refreshes your daily need for movie news. As you might have noticed, the amount of posts have been reduced. I'm quite busy the last weeks and it will continue to be like that for the coming weeks. I hope you can forgive my lack of posts or attitude. Thank you for staying around.

Let's start with our well received weekly episode of FilmState!

Johnny Depp talks The Rum Diary

TotalFilm recently had an exclusive interview with Johnny Depp. He talks about his his role as Paul Kemp in The Rum Diary.

His old buddy Thompson had always planned for The Rum Diary to be made into a film, says Depp.

The Rum Diary opens on 30 November 2011 in US Theatres. You can expect a small column about the movie soon.

South Park renewed through season 20

Just as we thought that Trey and Matt were preparing to end south park after 15 seasons of sheer mockery and entertainment, they shocked us with the following deal.

It was announced by Michele Ganeless, president, COMEDY CENTRAL. The deal for three additional seasons ensures the top-rated Emmy Award-winning series to keep running on screen through 2016 and a milestone 20th season. Parker and Stone will continue to write, direct and edit every episode of "South Park," as they have since the premiere of the series in 1997.

You should watch the Behind The Scenes Documentary. It's truly amazing how they create an episode in such a small time.

Titanic 3D trailer is here ( spoiler: Leonardo Dicaprio dies )

I just ruined the movie for you. I'm sorry. Titanic 3D is released in UK cinemas on 4 April 2012.

Dexter renewed for two more seasons

After lengthy negotiations, Showtime has closed a new two-year deal with Dexter star Michael C. Hall. With him locked in, the pay cable network has renewed its flagship series for 2 more seasons, bringing the series’ run to 8 seasons. Each season will consist of 12 episodes, with production on Season 7 slated to begin next year in Los Angeles.

“Dexter‘s enormous success is a real tribute to the great achievements of its cast, producers, and the powerhouse performance of Michael C. Hall,” Showtime entertainment president David Nevins said. “The series is bigger than it’s ever been in its sixth season, both in terms of audience and its impact on the cultural landscape.” This past week, Dexter inched up again in the ratings for a fifth consecutive week, delivering 1.99 million viewers (2.61 million for the night), the show’s largest audience since the sixth season premiere. Season-to-date, the dark drama averages 5.12 million viewers per week on all platforms.

Black Sabbath Reunion and the Tintin Short Special

2011-11-11T14:41:00.000-08:00

Hey everybody and welcome to another exiting episode of Monster Monstrosity Blog, the blog where you....umm...ahum..........

Guess you're all playing Modern Warfare 3, Arkham City, Battlefield 3 or Skyrim, huh? I have to seek a new audience then. Should I talk to a wall? I mean, Walls are solid, they never run off and are quite sturdy too. Walls are truly amazing. They have protected us for many years. Look at The Great Wall in China or the Walls of Jerusalem! We should honor the walls.... I'm really talking to a wall here, right?

Now, before I go doolah-wappy, here's our weekly FilmState episode! Enjoy!

Black Sabbath Reunite

The four original members of Black Sabbath( Ozzy Osbourne, Bill Ward, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and) announced today they will reunite and tour in 2012. The reunion will include a new album, produced by Rick Rubin, the most important producer of the last twenty years!

They held a press conference today in Los Angeles, hosted by metal-hero Henry Rollins. Metal Hammer was invited to the press conference.

@Metal_Hammer
Why now? "It was now or never, really. We have some great music to play." -Tony. "It was time." -Ozzy

Before we go on, I'd like to ask this question: Is Ozzy Osbourne still able to do this ? He had to cancel his gig at Graspop 2011 and wasn't that good at Blizzcon. Let's hope he can pull this one off...

And for all you hairsplitters, I know this has nothing to do with film but it's important enough to mention. This is the 11-11-11 announcement video.

Tintin And The Secret Of The Unicorn Short Special

Ten thousand thundering typhoons! If you have never heard or seen this quote, shame on you! It's a catchphrase from Captain Archibald Haddock, a retired drunk sailorman from the classic Belgian comics Tintin, written and illustrated by Hergé.( the creative father of Tintin )

The script was written by Steven Moffat ( Doctor Who ), Edgar Wright ( Hot Fuzz, Shaun Of The Dead) and Joe Cornish. They have mingled three Tintin stories and created one story, which is absolutely amazing.

The audience of this blog is 90% American, and most of the Americans will think that Tintin is a completely new character. Tintin is very popular in Europe and other parts of the world. The comics went all over Europe and are quite famous. And the same thing is happening with the movie. It is already released in Europe since 26 October 2011 and is well-received by critics. Americans have to wait until 21 December 2011.

A perfect date because it's a movie for kids, adults will remember the comics whilst watching the film and there are plenty jokes for the whole family. The worldwide premiere was destined for Belgium and France, home of Tintin and Hergé.

The Belgian premiere took place on 22 october 2011 . Here are some pictures of the premiere in Brussels. Two pictures by JLemant. If you are looking for a professional review( Something we'll be doing here very soon! ) there's one at Empire: http://www.empireonline.com/reviews/reviewcomplete.asp?FID=135271

Quickies

* Billy Crystal will host 2012 Oscars. Eddie Murphy has removed himself as host of the Oscars because Brett Ratner, the producer of the Oscars, had a disagreement with the staff. They both resigned.

* Universal has released the first official trailer for Rupert Sanders’ fairytale reimagining Snow White And The Huntsman. Huh, i wrote something similar a few years ago and the papers have disappeared. Strange.But why Kristen Stewart? Go look it up and cry yourself to sleep.

* Jonah Hill had to turn down an offer from Quintin Tarantino, pledging him to join the cast of Django Unchained. Unfortunately, he could not do it due to scheduling conflicts. Others have agreed to join the cast like Rex Linn (CSI: Miami) and James Remar (Dexter) who will appear as Ace Speck.

Exploitation Extober Special: The Baby Diaper Issue

2011-10-31T18:43:00.000-07:00

"Nothing on Earth so beautiful as the final haul on Halloween night."

Before I go on, go to a story ;buy yourself some baby diapers and put some on. I just don't want things to get messy. Y'now? I also want you to close your eyes for a second.

I know where you live and I'm standing right behind you at this precise moment. Y'now?

Oh wait, you've closed your eyes so you can't see this text...Then I'll have to whisper it in your ears... Y'now? But FIRST, let's watch the final episode of Bloodtober, there's plenty of time left to kill you! *ties you on a chair*

Last post I said I wouldn't be doing any more Exploitation Extobers. Naah, i kid my lack of not posting! We're going to watch some terrifying movie trailer/scenes together and not Prepare to shitzle your diapshle!( That sounded better in my head )

The Brood(1979)

A man tries to uncover an unconventional psychologist's therapy techniques on his institutionalized wife, while a series of brutal attacks committed by a brood of mutant children coincides with the husband's investigation.

It's about mutant children killing everybody. If I didn't had my daily Nickelodeon(back when i was a kid, ahum) I would go mad too!

The Haunting (1963)

Dr. Markway, doing research to prove the existence of ghosts, investigates Hill House, a large, eerie mansion with a lurid history of violent death and insanity. With him are the skeptical young Luke, who stands to inherit the house, the mysterious and clairvoyant Theodora and the insecure Eleanor, whose psychic abilities make her feel somehow attuned to whatever spirits inhabit the old mansion. As time goes by it becomes obvious that they have gotten more than they bargained for as the ghostly presence in the house manifests itself in horrific and deadly ways.

Everything in this film is perfect. The set, the acting, the direction, the creepy atmosphere... it's great!

Event Horizon (1997)

A rescue crew investigates a spaceship that disappeared into a black hole and has now returned...with someone or something new on-board.

I watched this movie when I was a kid and I had nightmares... a lot of them! This is such an underrated horrormovie. Yes it's from Paul WS Anderson but here's a shameful secret: I like most of his movies ( Except Mortal Kombat). He did a brilliant job on the first Resident Evil. I wish the story line would go back to the basics and not this "runnin around the world action packed movie". Anyway, you should watch this movie. But don't watch it three times in a row. You might encounter Bloody Mary....

Rec (2007)

"REC" turns on a young TV reporter and her cameraman who cover the night shift at the local fire station. Receiving a call from an old lady trapped in her house, they reach her building to hear horrifying screams -- which begin a long nightmare and a uniquely dramatic TV report."

A friend of mine recommended this movie. There's also an American version out but don't watch it. Read this Youtube Comment if you're not convinced:

I saw REC before I saw Quarantine... I almost pissed my pants when I watched REC... I fell asleep during Quarantine. Lol :x

Misery (1990)

A famous novelist is "rescued" from a car crash by an obsessed fan.

I haven't seen this one yet. I know, I know! I'm going to buy it tommorow and watch it immediatly!

The Vanishing (1988)

Rex and Saskia, a young couple in love, are on vacation. They stop at a busy service station and Saskia is abducted. After three years and no sign of Saskia, Rex begins receiving letters from the abductor.

I've read the novel and it was pretty fun. The movie is even better!

Wolf Creek (2005)

Stranded backpackers in remote Australia fall prey to a murderous bushman who offers to fix their car, then takes them captive.

This is a real story. More than 3000 people disappear every year in the deserts of Australia. They don't all get lost and die of exhaustion, do they?

________________________________________________________________________

And those were the last trailers of Exploitation Extober 2011! It was bit shorter than last year but hey, we had some fun! Have a Happy Halloween you all!

And I'm letting you loose. Untieing the ropes as we speak I'm not going to kill you.Not yet. I won't tell you when, I won't tell you how, and I won't tell you where. It will be a complete surprise for you. You do like surprises, yeah? Well, you're going to love my surprise! Hihihihi.

How do you like them pumpkins?

Next post we'll be talking about the Tintin world premiere in Belgium!( Happened on 22 October, but did not had the time to do a special ;) )

Exploitation Extober Special: Slashers!

2011-10-29T12:51:00.000-07:00

Welcome once again to MMB, the blog which provides the newest newly news in history ever. Well, not really though! It's new news, but you might have noticed that i haven't been able to post this week. I feel sad because i can't provide you with the awesomeness of last Exploitation Extober

Well, i'm trying to make this up to you. Firstly, i'd like to present Bloodtober, the alternative version of EE! This is only the first episode, you can find more lolzworthy episodes on their playlist. ( It's a fun storyline between both brothers and yes, Ryan is the crazy one )

Next Episode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrgCMVxqvyE&list=PL3D262BC13D9EC8F4&index=7&feature=plpp_video

Third Episode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysyAJNnGHRA&feature=feedu

The Best Slashers of the Century

A slasher film is a type of horror film typically involving a psychopathic killer stalking and killing a sequence of victims in a graphically violent manner, often with a cutting tool such as a knife or axe.

The mother of the slasher film is Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho!(1960). Another one is Peeping Tom(1960) and the earliest slasher film Thirteen Women(1932). The Slasher genre especially grew in the sixties and seventies. There were several subgenres, like Italian Giallo. The most important one of the giallo's was Blood And Black Lace. ( I'm not going to name the obvious movies like Nightmare on Elm Street )

BLOOD AND BLACK LACE

The Story: Blood and Black Lace is a 1964 Italian thriller film directed by Mario Bavahe story concerns the stalking and brutal murders of various scantily-clad fashion models, committed by a masked killer in a desperate attempt to obtain a scandal-revealing diary.The film is generally considered one of the earliest and most influential of all giallos, and served as a stylistic template for the “body count” slasher films of the 1980’s

The Awesomeness: The masked man was an inspiration for many filmmakers and comic writers. He kind of looks like Rorschach from Watchmen, doesn't he? The movie was voted #85 among "The 100 Scariest Movie Moments" by the Bravo Channel.

BLACK CHRISTMAS( nope, not a blaxploitation!)

The Story:A sorority house is terrorized by a stranger who makes frightening phone calls and then murders the sorority sisters during Christmas break.

The Awesomeness: It does look "boring" in 2011, right? Well', you have to realize that we are resistant against violence now. "Thanks" to violent tv-series, games and music we can handle it. I heard some complaints that these oldies are not scary enough. I know, that's the whole point of EE.

HATCHET(2007)

The Story: A motley crew of tourists embark on a boat ride of the haunted Louisiana bayous where they learn the terrifying tale of local legend "Victor Crowley"; a horribly disfigured man who was tragically and accidentally killed with a hatchet by the hands of his own father. But when the boat sinks and the ghost story turns out to be real, the group tries desperately to escape the swamp with their lives...and all of their pieces. Hatchet marks the return of Old School American Horror. Stay out of the swamp...

The Awesomeness: A whole swamp of fun! It's a fun slasher movie but nothing more. Definitly not the return of Old School American Horror. but it's a fun film! Anyhow, it's from 2007. slasher films are very much alive!

BEHIND THE MASK: THE RISE OF LESLIE VERNON(2007)

The Story: On the surface Leslie Vernon (Nathan Baesel) seems like your average, small-town, nice guy. He has goals, ambition and aspirations to... follow in the footsteps of his long-time heroes Fredddy Krueger, Michael Myers and Jason Vorhees and be the world's next great psycho-slasher. A true self-promoter, Leslie gives documentary filmmaker Taylor Gentry (Angela Goethals) and her crew exclusive access to his life as he plans and executes his next great reign of terror over the sleepy town of Glen Echo, all the while deconstructing the conventions and archetypes of the horror genre for them.

The Awesomeness: a mockumentary about a serial killer? Comon, that's just way too awesome!

HALLOWEEN(1978)

The Story: A psychotic murderer institutionalized since childhood escapes on a mindless rampage while his doctor chases him through the streets.

The Awesomeness: Thanks to Halloween, we now have genre standards like virginal heroines, masked, unstoppable killers and open-ended conclusions. Its success opened the door for the flood of slasher movies during the '80.The story is as simple as a scary bedtime story but it's so perfectly executed, from the direction to the acting to the creepy score, that Halloween has become a legend.

BONUS ROUND: DOLLMAN

urban fucking renewal

Not a slasher but definitly an exploitation film!

The Plot: Brick Bardo is a cop from another planet who is forced to land on Earth in pursuit of criminals. Though regular sized on his home planet, he is doll-sized here on Earth, as are the fugitives who have landed as well. While Brick enlists the help of an impoverished girl and her son, the bad guys enlist the help of a local gang.

When word leaks out as to his location, all hell breaks loose. Brick is besieged by an onslaught of curious kids, angry gang members, and his own doll-sized enemies, and he must protect the family who has helped him and get off the planet alive.

I'm sorry for the short Exploitation Extober Month. I did not have time to do these because of personal reasons. I wish you a GREAT Halloween!

Extra Question: Our favourite horror movie is "The Shining". What's your favourite Scary Movie?

Exploitation Extober Special: Ozploitation

2011-10-19T15:37:00.000-07:00

The skies they were ashen and sober;
The leaves they were withering and sere-
It was night in the lonesome October

Halloween is almost here and people are making up their ghost stories, trying to find that one awesome costume on the attic and finish the decorations for their houses. Others are prepping their knives, chainsaws,guns and will try to find that perfect murder victim. Be aware people, or pray that Dexter has already killed your murderer.

What in the name of Kubrick is going on with this site? Do not worry, it's Exploitation Extober Time! A small summary:

Exploitation Extober is an event on which we celebrate the good and mostly terrible Exploitation B-movies! It normally starts on 10 october and ends on Halloween, but I have to shorten it because of personal reasons. I'll try to make it up the last three days of October, so expect more posts on those days.

When I started this blog, I really had no clue what to do with it. I've chosen the name Movie Monstrosity because it reminds me of those terrible exploitation movies made in the 20th century. A few days later, I've invented the Exploitation Extober Event and it was a great succes!( for a starting blog)

It's the second time we are celebrating this remarkable event! Last year was truly amazing. We went very far and touched several subgenres.

There is some kind of Exploitation Revival going on now. ( example:Rubber and Machete) Will we see more of those? Or do you think it's just a blimp?

Let's start the Exploitation Extober Event with a recap of Year One!

Post 1: The first post had the theme: Blaxploitation and Nunsploitation

Two crazy and quite funny exploitation genres!

Post 2: Blackula, Dr. Black and Mr.Hyde, Killer Nun and Nun Of That!
Those titles are amazing! Really, you can win awards with them!

Post 3: Black Dynamite, Black Caesar and Boss Nigger We ended the Blaxploitation week with three great trailers.

Post 4: Notorious Nazi's and Constructive Carsploitation

Nazi Exploitation is quite a strange genre!

Post 5: Carsploitation and Spaghettiwesterns

Spaghettiwesterns is my favourite exploitation genre. In this post we see some Blues Brothers, Two Lane Blacktop and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Post 6: The Spaghetti Western Special!

A special into a special. Inception much? Anyway, This post has some great reviews on several spaghetti westerns. It's a collection of the must-see spaghetti westerns. So get them in your local store and do a Swestern Marathon!

Post 7: EXPLOITATION EXTOBER THE HALLOWEEN SPECIAL

A collection of all the awesome horror movies. You have to see them before Halloween!

Ozploitation

The first genre will be Ozploitation and we will be looking for the horrorozploitation. Just to get in the mood for Halloween! But what is Ozploitation?

Ozploitation refers to the Australian exploitation films that were produced during a fruitful period in the 1970s and 1980s. Ozploitation films covered a range of genres.

NEXT OF KIN

The Story: In a rest home for elderly people, a daughter reads her mother's diary. Soon events that are mentioned in the mother's diary begin to happen to the daughter.

The Awesomeness: The movie was lost and forgotten until Quentin Tarantino said it was one of his favourite aussie films.

PATRICK

The Story: A comatose hospital patient harasses and kills though his powers of telekinesis to claim his private nurse as his own.

The Awesomeness: Come on. The guy is in a bed just staring and kills everybody around him!

THE HOWLING III

The Story: A strange race of human-like marsupials appear suddenly in Australia, and a sociologist who studies these creatures falls in love with a female one. Is this a dangerous combination?

The Awesomeness: I've told you about these terrible B-movies, right? Well, this is one of them. It's so damn bad in every way.... But hey, go watch The Howling. The original is an okay film.

Bonus Clip: Robot Monster

Has nothing to do with Ozploitation but this one was way to ridiculous to just let go. Enjoy this terrible trailer for a terrible B-movie!

50th Anniversary Doctor Who, Joel's Dark Knight and How to Behave In Cinemas

2011-10-12T15:20:00.000-07:00

Ah yes, Wednesday, Wonderful Wednesday. Today we are bringing you pictures, text and videos and even more text!

These posts will be a bit shorter than normal. Read the last post if you want to know the reason why. And I don't know when I'm going to release the first Exploitation Special. Maybe friday or this weekend.

But first, a new episode of Fallout Nuka Break! Join Twig, Ben and Scarlett as they attempt to survive the harsh wasteland that is Fallout.

Steven Moffat promises 'remarkable time' for 'Doctor Who'

Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat has provided a vague update regarding when Series 7 will air, insisting "I simply don’t know".

The latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine recently confirmed that the new series will start filming in February next year, but will not begin airing until next autumn.

Moffat explained: "Our plans are still in flux. It’s not a secret that we’ll be moving to later in the year, but as to how many episodes there are going to be, I simply don’t know. I will absolutely guarantee that you’re not going to feel disappointed or short-changed. It will be a quite remarkable time for Doctor Who."

It's going to be the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who. Yes, Yes, Yes!

Joel Schumacher wanted to make The Dark Knight

Batman & Robin director Joel Schumacher has claimed he wanted to make a Dark Knight style follow-up.

Warner Brothers tasked Schumacher with making a fifth film, presumably starring Clooney, entitled Batman Triumphant.

“I was supposed to do a fifth one" Schumacher said. "I was talking to Nic Cage about playing the Scarecrow. I had begged the studio for The Dark Knight but they wanted a family friendly, toyetic thing."

New Sherlock Holmes posters

New character posters have appeared online for Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows - with Holmes and Watson (Jude Law) getting one each.

Girl With The Dragon Tattoo images online

A new load of Rooney Mara images have appeared online. We just love them!

How to behave in cinema: The Muppets

The Muppets continue to bust out small awesome teasers and trailers. The Muppets will appear in theaters on 10 February. Plenty of time to make more teasers!

HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY

2011-10-09T15:52:00.000-07:00

And here we are. I started one year ago with the idea of creating a movie blog, just for fun. One year later, we have a monthly stream of visitors (2000!) which is just amazing. I thank you all for being around and coming back once a while.

Tomorrow will be a wonderful day. We'll start our yearly Exploitation Extober Fest! Once a week i'll post some amazing Exploitation Trailers. Just to get you heated up for Halloween.

I do have some bad news too: Due to work pressure I won't be posting a lot. I'll try to do a weekly Exploitation and normal post. My apologies if they arrive a bit late. Anyway, let's drink and enjoy our special guest band: The White Stripes.

Fox does not cancel Simpsons, more Django and Tauriel returns

2011-10-06T09:34:00.000-07:00

Welcome back to MMB, your source for truly EPIC movie news. Nothing less for our audience. Unite MovieMonsters!

I had some internet troubles this week but they're all fixed. So you didn't had to worry about me. Some of you were panicking and decided to send a rescue and a SWAT team to my house but this wasn't necessary. Thank you for being so concerned about me! You know what? I'm giving you something special today! Indeed, the third episode of ~~FILMSTATE~~ Fallout Nuka Break!

And you know I can't start the news without a bi-weekly episode of FilmState. I'm sorry Audience, I'm afraid I can't do that. [ O HAL9000 ]

Django Unchained news

Last days we've received a lot of information on Django Unchained. They found a replacement for Kevin Costner, Waltz injured himself and a Lost actor will join the cast. Excited? Yes!

Kurt Russell replaces Kevin Costner in Django Unchained

Kurt Russel will play Ace, the bad ass bastard who runs Calvin Candle's plantation. Ace is a cruel slave driver who makes the lives of the slaves very hard.

This is the second time he works together with Quintin Tarantino. He replaced Mickey Rourke as Stuntman Mike in Death Proof, probably one of the most bad ass characters that i've seen.

Tarantino is going to exploit his badassery once again. Laura Cayoutte, who played Rocket in Kill Bill: Vol. 2, has signed on to play Candie's sister and plantation co-owner. If you can't remember Rocket, the character worked in The My Oh My Strip Club and told Budd to clean up the bathroom.

Christoph Waltz injured whilst riding horse

According to a statement from his agent, the Oscar-winning actor was injured while training with his horse in preparation for the role.

Waltz is currently being treated for a dislocated pelvic bone and is looking forward to getting back in the saddle,”said his agent.

Lost actor joins Django Unchained

M.C Gainey will join the cast of DU. you might remember him as Tom Friendly, member of "The Others"

He'll be playing Big John Brittle, one of the outlaws who Jamie Foxx's Django hunts down during his revenge mission. It's a small part but he fits the role.

One word: Bingo

Arrested Development gets new movie and TV show

Fans of the cult show arise!The long-discussed movie is finally happening. And there will be new episodes.

Creator Mitchell Hurwitz says the TV show will film next summer and will focus on the characters'lives in the past five years.

We're all game. We've hated being coy, but we've been trying to put together this ambitious idea."

“I’m peeing with @batemanjason at the moment..and we can confirm that we are going to make new AD eps and a movie,” said Will Arnettt.

“It’s true. We will do 10 episodes and the movie. Probably shoot them all together next summer for a release in early ’13. VERY excited!” added Jason Bateman.

Evangeline Lilly talks about The Hobbit

Wood Elf Tauriel returned to the real world to attend the US premiere of Real Steel. She was happy to chat about her little Hobbit stories.

“Working with Pete Jackson is super inspiring. “I have a dialogue coach, an emotion coach, a language coach, a stunts coach. So I should by rights be great in this film but if I fuck up it's my fault,” Lilly told Access Hollywood.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey opens 14 December 2012.

Ricky Gervais Golden Globes return planned

His presentation of this year's Golden Globes was blimy brilliant and now he's returning for another round of controversy-spreading.

Gervais revealed: "I don't think I should host the Golden Globes again, even if I'm asked and that is very unlikely, to be honest...

"But because of the greatest thing about our society, freedom of speech, I can still host the Golden Globes, or any event on the planet. “I am working with a Californian technology company on a live webcast idea. "People watch their TV at the same time as listening to me and a few chums provide our own alternative commentary.”

"This is not to steal anyone's thunder, or disrupt pleasant society. It's simply a new horizon. And for its own sake.

"I have no idea if it will work but I didn't know if podcasting would work back in 2005 when I launched The Ricky Gervais Show.“I didn't particularly care either. I was doing it for a laugh. There are not many better reasons to do anything."

Fox does NOT cancel The Simpsons

You might have heard the news about Fox who wants the cast members to take a 45% pay cut – going from 8 million dollars to 4 million a season.

Fox is known for killing and cancelling the most amazing shows like Futurama, Arrested Development, Firefly and even more.

The following news is just minutes old, but the actors agreed with Fox. They will do the 24th season. Neither Fox or the actors are saying anything.

This was just one of the many bickering between the network and the actors. The series started in 1989 and the first quarrel happened in 1998 when Fox threatened to replace the cast. Other negotiations took place in 2004 and 2008.

We don’t know what the future holds for our yellow friends from Springfield. It’s still possible that it will end on a landmark, which will be the 25th season.

Le retour de Bond, Man in Black III and Jackie Chan is serious

2011-09-30T15:11:00.000-07:00

Welcome back to MMB for your
bi-weekly injection of movie news!

Don't worry, the needle is sterile.

Hello and welcome once again to Movie Monstrosity, your source for awesome movienews only for YOU because you are the best. No doubt.

So you know what's coming, right? What if i tell you that there will not be a FilmState huh? Wouldn't that be a hard nut to crack? Missing an awesome FilmState episode with a pretty damn funny Domain.com commercial in the middle of the episode. Domain.com, the best domain provider in the universe. Yes, even Cubans use domain.com. So does this mean you're dumber than a commie ? YES IT DOES. Be smart and get a domain.com address.

I should get paid by domain.com. Anyway, my point is: I'm not going to take away your fun of watching a FilmState episode. Enjoy!

Men in Black III and it's retro aliens

Make-up designer Rick Baker talks about his work on MIBIII and is quite happy about the time travelling element.

Time Travelling? Yes, the third part of the franchise will send Agent J back the Golden Sixties, where he meets the Young Agent K( Josh Brolin ) and Andy Warhol( Bill Hader). Did i mention Jemaine Clement will be in there too ( from Flight Of The Conchords )? The movie will have a 60s retro look.

“The thing that’s cool is there is a time travel element. Where I had fun is that we go back to the Men In Black headquarters of the ’60s," said Rick Baker.

"The first thing I said is that we should have retro aliens not aliens of 2012, more based on B-movies of the ’50s and ’60s. So a lot of the aliens are based on that - space suits with fish bowl helmets and ray guns.”

Rick Baker was the special make-up designer of Tropic Thunder( Anyone who did Downey Jr.'s make up should get an award), Norbit, Hellboy, The Ring, Planet Of The Apes, MIB I and II, Ed Wood and many more.

Michael K. Williams will appear in Django Unchained

Quentin Tarantino does not want to let Michael K. Williams go and wrote him a new role. He was chosen to be the main lead character first.

“It came down to Jamie and I for Django, and [Tarantino] was gracious enough to call me and tell me that ‘Jamie was his nigger.' Will Smith expressed some interest, but it came down to Jamie Foxx and I, like QT told me this personally out of his mouth over lunch.”

“QT has asked me to keep my diary clear in early 2012. I’ve been given a timeline. January through April. I’ve been given some dates when he’s going to want me to work but I haven’t gotten the official word yet.”

Williams does not want to tell a thing about his role. So it will be a surprise! Django Unchained will be released on 25 December 2012. If you are still alive after 21 December 2012, you should go watch it in a burning theatre, like Inglorious Basterds ended.

Jackie Chan goes 1911

The first trailer for the war film 1911 has appeared online with Jackie Chan playing a serious role. Yeah, i'm dead serious about this.

The film marks the 100th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution and the founding of the Republic of China. It's also the 100th film of Chan.

Jackie Chan, plays Huang Xing, the first commander-in-chief of the army of the Republic of China.

1911 opens on 23 September 2011 in China and on 12 October in the US.

Bond 23 Girl is French

Daniel Craig is getting ready for the 23th Bond film. The film will be released in 2012, this year being the 50th Anniversary of the James Bond film series. Expect something special.

Bond 23 is back up and running it's time for the casting directors to look for that perfect actress. And that perfect actress will be Berenice Marlohe, a young French TV actress who has recently made the transition from television to films.

The cast at the moment is Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes. Cross 9 November 2012 on your diary.

The Second Centipede and Lone Ranger is back?

2011-09-27T16:24:00.000-07:00

Welcome back to MMB for your
bi-weekly injection of movie news!

Don't worry, the needle is sterile.

It looks like it's a meagre week this time for film news. Excuse me, for interesting film news. Normally I select the best news( for my viewers ) from several sites but this time it's a bit boring and dull...

For example: One for The Money releases a trailer. It's a romantic comedy. So what's the plot? It's about a bounty hunter who tracks down her former lover. Oh wait, sound a lot like The bounty Hunter with Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler. It's one of those "let's watch these with the girlfriend because the gf likes romcoms and I wanna chill on the couch and do nothing else" movies. Yeah. so if you're interested: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=One+for+The+Money+trailer

Full trailer released for.......

Wait a second. It seems that i have forgotten something but i can't remember what. Huh. That's strange. Let's redo that.

Full trailer released for........

OH YEAH. The new FilmState offcourse! Stupid me! And I just love the movie game. You choose a random actor and try to get to Steven Spielberg on Imdb in the least amount of clicks.

Official trailer The Human Centipede 2 out

A new trailer has been posted online for The Human Centipede Part 2: Full Sequence, the shockhorror film from Dutch director Tom Six.

The First Sequence was quite the shocker for the audience. Will this be even worse? We've seen the reactions of the Australian people a few weeks ago and the results are...definitly not normal.

The Plot? A man saw the first sequence and got inspired to do the same. That's it. It's filmed in black and white to give the film that certain horror vibe.

This movie has been banned in the UK so British people have to get their tickets abroad.

The director also said that he was ready for Part 3, which will go far over the line. We can't wait.

MMB Opinion: The actor's eyes or just his look is similar to Michael "Benjamin Linus" Emerson. Just a mere moment in the trailer.

Old Spice inspired TV-spot for Puss In Boots

Back to the normal stuff. The Shrek spin-off Puss In Boots released it's new Tv-spot and it's quite groovy.

When i heard about this spin-off, i thought they were miling the series out. I thought we had enough of Shrek and it's fairy tales. Time for something new.

But this way of thinking changed. I am quite impressed by Antonia Banderas and the awesome kitty.

New set photos from The Dark Knight Rises

You know what? I had it with these motherf***** spoilers on this motherf***** sets. I've looked at these because it's a journalist's nature to do so but please, they're just too many spoilers. I've seen catwoman in normal suit, some kind of weapon in a truck and shots from the Batwing.

I know it will look completely different than in real life but these are still spoilers and i want to be surprised in theaters. I'm going to provide you with the link but you don't have to click on it.

Disney's The Lone Ranger is back on track

A while ago we reported that The Lone Ranger was dead and the project was put on hold. But it seems now that it's back in action.

A project from Depp-Bruckheimer-Verbinski cancelled? My first thought was nuts. I mean, it's a perfect combo and if they could bring the spirit of the first Pirates into The Lone Ranger, well that would be magical. But the primary concern was the budget ( 250 million )

Bruckheimer and Verbinski were able to chop the budget down to 215 million, which is still a lot.

I mean, with such an amount of money you could make eight awesome movies. My expectations will be that high.

Johnny Depp (Tonto), Armie Hammer(Lone Ranger) and Ruth Wilson (Luther) are expected to be back.

It's unknown if it will hit it's original December 2012 release date. Let's hope not because that month is stoked with awesome movie releases. ( Hobbit, Django Unchained, World War Z, Les Miserables )

_________________________________________________________

Let's end with an awesome thing: nudes of Scarlett Johansson.

EDIT: Sorry, one minute after the upload i had to take them down from the FBI. Or else they'll confiscate my pc. But hey, i got an alternative. A song about her! From Jacksfilms, Tobuscus, SeanKlitzner, Jason Horton and Tay Zonday.

It's more than a feeling

2011-09-25T12:19:00.000-07:00

Hello you Moviefans. This is a completely different and small post on what i have been doing today. Not interested? Alright, here's a picture of a frog. You should stare at it.

I'd like to let you know that college starts again tomorrow and....................................

this will not affect the blog. Didn't expect that huh? Normally you'd expect that i would talk about less posts and activity dropping which is normal blog behaviour( I have a Phd in Blog Psychology ) and then they'll never post again but no! Not in my case!

So, in the past i've talked about Filmtopia, a new dutch filmblog which would see the light soon but i'm putting it on hold. Instead, i started blogging again on my other blog, Gonzo Style.

I recenty discovered that the blog had alot of activity ( 1/3th of MMB ) so i'm restarting this one. Expect a weekly post over there. Here's the new post: ( I'm reviewing Final Destination 5 so it still has something to do with movies!)

http://gonzojournos.blogspot.com/2011/09/our-final-destination.html

I'll check your comments and view your blog tomorrow so don't worry if i'm a bit late on replying to your blogs. Oh and before i forget, i'm designing some t-shirts at the moment and they'll be available soon. Might do some give aways once in a while.

Et voila. We are through for today. I leave you with this.( And apologies for the English, i made a few grammatical mistakes but hey, this post is a bit off the road, doesn't matter! )

Scarface Rises, Girl with The Dragon Tattoo, Zombiefest and Community!

2011-09-23T05:48:00.000-07:00

Welcome back to MMB for your
bi-weekly injection of movie news!

Don't worry, the needle is sterile.

No BFX for this week because most of them were useless for us, except if you're interested in filming a fight scene or watching a 21-minute long episode of Mad Monster Lab on make up( skimmed it). In fact, the fight scene could be useful... Ok let's share them quickly!

FilmRiot - How to shoot a fight scene

Mad Monster Lab - Make Up Burns

And now, let's watch some great FilmState trailers!

Universal wants new Scarface movie

I'm Tony Montana! You fuck with me, you fuckin' with the best!

Universal is preparing a third Scarface movie, which will be reimagined for modern times like Brian De Palma did. The Original Scarface was a film noire released in 1932. This movie took place in Chicago, back then the haven for gangsters.

The producer will be Martin Bregman, the one who was responsible for the 1983 remake so that's good news.

I'm kind of interested to see what they will do with it. as Tony Montana would say: "Universal best not f*** this movie up!"

This is just a side note but ROCKSTAR, WHY U NO MAKE GTA: VICE CITY 2?

Girl With The Dragon Tattoo gets full trailer

The full trailer has been spotted on the internet for David Fincher's Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. While the first trailer/teaser was packed with action this one has a slower pace, giving it time to explain the plot. I know the story from end to beginning so i'm not surprised anymore but i know some of you will.

All eyes are on Lisbeth Salander( Rooney Mara), and Mara might be able to perform a good Salander, but she'll be always in the shadows of Noomi Rapace's brilliant performance in the Swedish trilogy.

Daniel Craig keeps the English accent as Rooney Mara has that Swedish-English accent which contributes great to the trailer. And the soundtrack...wow.

The Rum Diary poster and TV spot
A new poster has been released online for johnny Depp's The Rum Diary and a Tv Spot. Shawoowiee

Still don't like the first song but the other song fits the glove.

Milla Jovovich talks Resident Evil 5

The Resident Evil 5 actress has been updating her fans on Twitter about what they can expect in the upcoming movie.

So, what has she shared? Let's take a look.

* he Umbrella Corporation kidnaps K-Mart (Spencer Locke), Chris Redfield (Wentworth Miller) and Claire (Ali Larter).

* Jensen Ackles won't be playing former Raccoon City cop Leon Scott Kennedy(but character will appear in the film. )

* Albert Wesker (Shawn Roberts) returns from Resident Evil: Afterlife.

* S.T.A.R.S. weapons specialist Barry Burton and agent Ada Wong both appear, with no word on casting yet.

* Colin Salmon plays James 'One' Shade, having last played the role in the 2002 Resident Evil movie.

* Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory) will become one of the main antagonists.

Resident Evil: Retribution is currently shooting in Canada and director Paul W.S. Anderson is listening to fan feedback. Well, here is mine: No more 3D. The movie was meh. I want it to go back to the first film, that claustrofobic feel being stuck in a research facility underground with a bunch of zombies surrounding you...

Yeah, that was awesome. And i hated the short hair look in RE4. but loved Chris Redfield and i'm rambling on and on :D

Walking Dead New Promo

You know how i feel about this series? I feel like a zombie tearing up heads for those delicious raw brain. MOOOOOOOOORRRRREEEEEE

Community Season 3 is awesome

If you watched The Big Bang Theory yesterday then you have no idea that NBC has a much better alternative: Community! It's original, awesome, creative and geniunly funny! And it's stuffed with references like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Cougar Town, Doctor Who( Inspector Spacetime) and the awesomeness of John Goodman covered. OH, and Annie's Boobs. And the other video is an awesome remix of S1&S2 :D

Welcome back to MMB for your
bi-weekly injection of movie news!

Don't worry, the needle is sterile.

I started this blog on 9 October 2010, nearly a year ago, and i've been looking through my old posts. Most of the old followers and commenters are long gone, only a few are still up and running. ( Bonjour Tristesse and Lvl 85 Nerd ) So most of you don't know what will happen with this Blog in October. These festivities will start on 10 October, which is pretty soon. So you're warned!

Another issue that i want to discuss is the shortfilm i'm making. At the moment we're out of money and we are still collecting our gear and props. So we kinda need your help on this. If you like to donate i've added a button to this blog. The donation will go to Spring Hill Entertainment, our Indie production company. Every dollar is welcome and you will be added to the credits!

But hey, if you don't have a Paypal or don't want to pay, there are other ways to help a fellow Blogger reach his goals *wink*

Alright, back the movies with a smashing new episode of FilmRiot! ( you'll see why it's smashing )

This just in: DiCaprio’s J Edgar trailer online

The trailer for Leonardo DiCaprio's J Edgar went online yesterday. Exciting news for every Eastwood Fan, including me!

DiCaprio commands the screen as the young J Edgar in this long-awaited movie from Clint Eastwood.

Is this going to be the Oscar grabber of 2011? Let's cross our fingers for Leonardo! He may win his first Oscar. But let's be honest, the last quarter of 2011 will be very competive!

New Muppets trailer parodies Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

I love these trailer parodies of The Muppets. The Marketing division is doing a great job promoting the Muppets. I love it! And i saw some Neil Patrick Harris.

Oh yeah, before i forget, the seventh season on How I Met Your Mother has begun this weekend. I still have to watch the first two episodes though. ItT's going to be Legen-wait for it - Dary! ( both The Muppets and HIMYM )

More Tintin pictures online

A Tintin image gallery has been found online. I am so excited for this CG movie!

I just love Haddock!

The Adventures Of Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn opens on 26 October 2011.

Rec 3: Genesis teaser trailer online

The first teaser trailer for Spanish horror [REC]³ Génesis has appeared online.

It looks different than the previous Rec movies, both of which were located inside an infected apartment block. At first sight they removed the first-person look which is weird. I wouldn't call my movie Rec if you ain't gonna use handcams. It's just a teaser so we'll see.

Nick Cage bites The Expendables'necks, Source Code on TV and Wild West gets Pulp Fictioned

Welcome back to MMB for your
bi-weekly injection of movie news!

Don't worry, the needle is sterile.

Yeah, i'm quitting the alliteration titles. It was a good experiment but i had to shut it off *cries*. I'm going to watch some FilmState to get over my sadness... What? Twilight Trailer?? *Screams, cries and falls of a cliff* what, you can skip the trailer to 3:59 and then see Ryan Connolly beats the shit out of this movie? AWESOME!

Nic Cage and John Travolta for Expendables 2

Sylvester Stallone has stated he wants to re-unite Face/Off leads Nic Cage and John Travolta in Expendables 2.The only problem is scheduling for now.

Sylvester Stallone also confirmed that Van Damme and Norris will be in the sequel.

Stallone said: "We’ll have a big showdown between me and Van Damme, which has been anticipated for a long time, so it should be a good one."

“We’ve got Chuck Norris and I think Nic Cage and we’re trying to work out different scenarios. I like using people that had a moment and then maybe have fallen on some hard times and give them another shot."

About Travolta he said: “It’s possible. The one thing I’ve learned is what is a fact on Monday is a complete fallacy on Tuesday. A lot of it is scheduling. It’s not financial.”

Hey Sylvester, you should watch your words. It seems that Mr. Cage is a Vampire and has been running around on this world for a very long time. This picture is from 1860-1870. If you wanna buy it, go to this link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nicolas-Cage-is-a-Vampire-Photo-from-1870-Tennessee/260821098271?ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1&ih=016&category=409&cmd=ViewItem

Original c.1870 carte de visite showing a man who looks exactly like
Nick Cage. Personally, I believe it's him and that he is some sort of
walking undead / vampire, et cetera, who quickens / reinvents
himself once every 75 years or so. 150 years from now, he might
be a politician, the leader of a cult, or a talk show host.

Source Code becomes TV series

The pitch is as follows: “Three former federal agents who are part of a top-secret program use Source Code technology to jump into the consciousness of people involved in tragic events.”

Mark Gordon (Grey’s Anatomy) will producer and Steve Maeda (Lost, Lie to Me) will be the head of the writing team. It will be on screen in 2012.

This movie made me think about life and death and it's possibilities. And i want to see it again.

Good and Bad but no Ugly News for Django Unchained

This is no surprise to all of us but Samuel L. Jackson has confirmed for Django Unchained. This will be the fifth time they will work together.

Samuel will play Stephen, a house-slave for the sadistic slave-owner Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio)

Jackson officially joins an already awesome cast, including Jamie Foxx as Django, Christoph Waltz as a German bounty hunter,and Kevin Costner as... what? I just got a report that Kevin Costner will not appear in this movie. He walks away from a Tarantino movie.

Kevin Costner, rumoured to be playing Ace Woody (crew member of the villaineous Candle), has passed the picture, blaming it on 'scheduling conflicts.'

It looks like Costner would rather make a TV movie (The Hatfields & The McCoys) for the History Channel. But Kevin is also appearing in Zack Snyder's Superman reboot Man Of Steel.

Tarantino will now have to find a new Ace. It's a shame. I liked Kevin Costner in The Postman ( Come on, i was 7 years old! ) and Wyatt Earp. I really loved him in those roles. But hey, let's start the gossipping. Who would be perfect for Ace Woody? Please comment in the doobly doo!
