When we heard that Ryan Reynolds teamed up with Spanish Director Rodrigo Cortes to make a film that takes place exclusively in a coffin for 90-minutes, we were terrified and intrigued. When it rocked Sundance and got a $3-Million Lionsgate distribution deal right after its premiere, we were sold! SO sit back, relax, and get freaked out by these clips from the film and see Ryan & Rodrigo the night of the Sundance premiere!

The Hughes Brothers may have delivered us a familiar “by the book” post-apocalyptic world, the story certainly took some unexpected turns to the point that The Book of Eli may just have a “Sixth Sense” need for a rewatch! Just keep your eye on Denzel in some of the clips in this review!

When young filmmakers with $20 million dollars decide to take on the vampire AND the science fiction genres at the same time, you really shouldn’t expect much. Which is why Daybreakers blew us away. Well conceived, imaginative, original and above all well done, this kind of film would have cost millions more if Hollywood decided to do something similar, and probably wouldn’t have turned out to be nearly as enjoyable!

James Cameron definitely made the most of nearly 15 years and 300 Million dollars making Avatar, because it looks and feels completely unlike any movie ever. Maybe it’s the tasteful use of 3D technology, maybe the striking resemblance the CG characters have to their human actor equivalents, or maybe it was the fact that an entirely computer generated world actually felt REAL for the first time ever, but Avatar definitely knocked us both out… what about you?

It’s taken a decade and a half for James Cameron to bring Avatar to the silver screen (in 3-D IMAX no less), but now that technology has caught up with his imagination, he’s leading an all-star action-packed cast into the jungles of a world called Pandora to meet his photo-realistic blue-skinned aliens. Using custom-made performance capture rigs on a scale never before attempted, Avatar LOOKS stunning so far and there’s a lot of talk about the technology and the visuals, but as is the case in any movie, the real satisfaction for the audience lies in that 15-year old paper that Avatar was written on. Is THAT any good? We’ll soon find out, but with Cameron at the helm as writer and director and producer, we’ve definitely got our hopes high!

If you’re looking for a way to get even more engrossed in all things Avatar before this week’s release, check out The Official TypePad Avatar Community, we’ve been playing on there ourselves and having a great time!

Dear sweet lord… this was seven shades of atrocious, and we’re not even sure where to begin. Not even Destro and Cobra Commander could save it. In fact, they might be Matt’s most hated part of the entire film. Or was it the American Good-guy Baroness? Or maybe the terrible lead actors? No, it might have been seeing the entire Snake Eyes/Stormshadow mysterious backstory told in horribly inelegant flashbacks all in one movie. Hard to say, really.

If you were an action figure kid or a cartoon lover in the 80’s, there’s no way you escaped G.I.Joe… so you’re either excited or horrified with what is coming to the silver screen in August. An American Baroness, goofy looking armour suits and a Wayans brother aren’t helping the situation.

Michael Bay stunned us. Not only was Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen an entertaining enough film to keep Nat’s attention for 150-long minutes, but Matt, (who RAILED against the 2007 film as a classic G1 80’s Transformer fan) actually enjoyed this one, too! The wounds from Bay’s painful reimagining of the Transformers have healed in the last two years, and a Mute, Camaro Bumblebee doesn’t offend us quite as much as it used to. Maybe that’s what helped make this sequel SUCH an improved experience over the original!
