There’s no doubt in my mind that the epic fantasy adventure, Clash of the Titans, will be something extraordinary, and most possibly the best fantasy / action flick that will cross our eyes this year.
I had my doubt about Liam Neeson as Zeus, but after watching the trailer and the scene where he commands the Kraken to be released, leaved me hungry for more. I’m also curious what Ralph Fiennes will do with his role as Hades, as well.
Of course, there’s more to this flick, than Neeson and Fiennes, which makes me tense with excitement, like Sam Worthington as Perseus and his fight with Medusa, Alexa Davalos as Andromeda, Izabella Miko as Athena, all wrapped up with breathtaking effects and the stop motion techniques.
All that sounds very good to me, don’t you think?

I guess that many of you have probably seen the 3D version of Avatar and perhaps you been amazed by that experience, as well.
Some of you maybe shrugged your shoulders and thought, what’s the big deal.
Maybe that was what they thought over at Korea’s leading cinema chain, as they decided to turn it up a notch and offer Avatar in 4D. Their setup includes over 30 effects, complete with moving chairs, sprinkling water, wind and the smell of explosives, to name a few.
Even though the cost for the 4D version is twice the regular price, the show is fully booked with people who want to experience Avatar, a little more lifelike.
Now, the logical question is, when do we see the first horror movie in 4D and more importantly, do we want to?
Imagine that you sit down in your favorite cinema and suddenly the musty smell of rotting corpses enters your nose. Your seat starts to spin and turn, as a grotesque banjo playing man chasing you, while you feel the breeze from his swinging ax, is licking your neck.

In the horror movie Case 39, directed by Christian Alvart the man behind Pandorum and penned by Ray Wright, we see Renée Zellweger play a role that is far away from the usual feel-good and drama movies that we’re used to seeing her in, which unfortunately, is noticeable in this film.
The story, in Case 39, follows the social worker Emily Jenkins (Zellweger) who, overwhelmed with work, gets another case on her desk, case 39. That case is about a sweet girl named Lillith Sullivan (Jodelle Ferland), whose school has filed a report, where they express their concern about her wellbeing.

In the movie we get to follow some of the characters from Diary, as they seek shelter on an island, only to be mixed up in a family feud about wherever zombies should be killed or not.
You can check out my previous post about Survival of the Dead to check out the trailer.

The sturdy Bruce Willis shared a crumb of his vast knowledge in an interview recently in, Men’s Journal Magazine – how to kill a wolf with your bare hands!
He doesn’t reveal how he figured it out or if he has actually done it in real life, although it sounds rather physically possible.
Bruce says that if a wolf attacks you, the first thing you should do, is to shove your hand down its throat. This will prevent the wolf from biting you, since it would have problems breathing, with your arm down the throat.

Suicide Girls is a popular adult website that focus on softcore pin-up-style photos of Goth, punk and indie-styled ladies. Now, the whole concept has been adapted into a reality horror movie, which I think looks rather interesting, actually.
The concept is rather original; a bunch of SuicdeGirls-models heads out to a remote cabin in Main, to shoot a calendar video. What they don’t know is that they’re part of a Suicide Girls version of reality horror movie.
Therefore, when the models start to disappear, one by one, the video shoot turns from an idyllic vacation like job, into a chaotic nightmare for the rest of the models.

I wrote about Repo Men a couple of days ago and today I found that they had released some very cool posters for it as well.
Even though it’s only January and the movie year has just started, I do believe that these posters could be one of the coolest posters of the year, or what do you think?
Repo Men, is a sci-fi movie, which isn’t for the squeamish ones. The plot revolves around a high tech company that manufactures human organs, which they are selling expensive, as you can see in the posters.

If you’re like me, having difficulties to embrace the movie adaptations of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight saga, you will soon have an alternative, which might suite you better that let you see the story in a completely new perspective.
My biggest problem with the movies is that I find them too far away from the charmed experience; I got from reading the books, which makes the movies to come out as wimpish, to me.
However, as said soon you can enjoy this vampire saga in a completely new format, as Yen Press is about to publish, Twilight: The Graphic Novel, by the graphics artist Young Kim.

The third TV spot for Joe Johnston’s, most likely epic monster movie, The Wolfman, has just sailed up online and what a trailer it is. It’s one of the most intense that I have had the pleasure to see in a while!
It’s barely 30 seconds long, but the creators has managed to pack it so full of both dramatic and brutal action scenes that it will make your eyes watering with desire, to see this one as it screams into the cinemas on February 12, next month.
Another movie poster has also surfed up but, opposed to the trailer, it’s both horrible bad and boring, though.

Repo Men, with Jude Law and Forest Whitaker is a sci-fi action flick, with a slightly bizarre touch, directed by Miguel Sapochnik, after an adaption of the novel, “The Repossession Mambo”.
The plot in Repo Men is set in a near future, where a company called The Union has managed to extend humans life, through their sophisticated and advanced mechanical organs.
However, these organs doesn’t come cheap and if you don’t pay your bill, the company sends out their repo men, to reclaim them, regardless of the comfort or the life of the bearer. This tends to be a bit messy, from time to time…
