When Roland Emmerich destroys the world, he does it with a certain panache. Independence Day, Godzilla, Day After Tomorrow are some of his previous epic disaster movies and 2012 looks to be kicking it up yet again. With an off-beat cast including genre favourites like John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Woody Harrelson, the Mayan doomsday is compounded by a government conspiracy and some of the biggest scale earth-ending images we’ve ever seen!

Watch scenes from the movie and interviews with the cast and crew! It’s taken decades to finally happen, but Maurice Sendak’s beloved children’s book, Where the Wild Things Are has finally been adapted to the silver screen. The only thing less predictable is that the director who would accomplish this feat is Spike Jonze! With a history of wild music videos and MTV’s Jackass under his belt, he’d seem an unlikely choice, but he’s been friends with Sendak for years and after plenty of buzz about re-fanging the controversial 60’s book for a modern audience, this creature effect driven story about childhood is finally ready!

Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg look like they make an incredible comedic duo in Ruben Fleischer’s directorial debut, Zombieland, but there’s a delicate balance to ride between that comedy and the horror elements that makes Zombie movies really knock it out of the park. We’re both easily as excited about this one as we were about any summer movies that came our way, whether that’s because Matt loves him some Sam Raimi-style horror/comedy or because Nat has an abnormally active imagination when it comes to surviving a Zombie pandemic, you can bet we’ll be inline for the midnight screening!

Quentin is bringing us something the world hasn’t really seen in theatres since the 70’s — a spaghetti western style World War II movie set in Nazi Germany behind enemy lines. With Brad Pitt… that part’s new. With a great cast of international talent, at least three languages and more Nazi scalping than you can put in a single movie trailer, it looks like Tarantino’s latest is a sight to behold. At least, that’s what the folks at the Cannes Film Fest thought. What about you? Let us know what you’re expecting! Another piece of genius from the world’s biggest movie fan? Or a disappointing over-the-top action movie from a screenwriter whose greatest asset lies in dialogue?

We’ve been looking forward to this one since the very first “For Human Use Only” bus shelters started popping up in our city, and the early teasers made this look like a sci-fi film the likes of which we’ve never seen. Oozing with social commentary, this human/alien segregation story is placed in South Africa, where the wounds of apartheid are still healing. We can’t wait to see what Producer Peter Jackson and first-time Director Neill Blomkamp have to offer with District 9!

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.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the sixth story in the Harry Potter Anthology, is coming to the big screens after breaking the hearts of fans everywhere with a tragic (yet necessary) plot development in the book. And now we get to see all that nastiness come to life! Since being blown away by Order of the Phoenix, Matt has actually read all the books, and it’ll be interesting to see how opinions may change since our 2007 Review of the previous installment of Harry Potter.

If you go back to our 2007 review on http://YourGeekNews.com, Matt was on a bit of a tirade about how terrible of an adaptation Michael Bay’s first Transformers film was. Now that all the wounds have healed, Bumblebee is a Camaro, Jazz is dead and Optimus has flames on his trailerless tractor trailer, it’s time to see if this re-imagined Transformerverse has a good story to tell in it. We’ve got three scenes to share with you that give you an idea of what to expect from the T2… wait, that acronym is already taken. Either way, we hope you enjoy our take on almost 5 minutes of theatrical footage from the film!
