Quandumb of Dumbace

Watch this very silly trailer "mashup" between Quantum of Solace and Dumb and Dumber:

No egg nog this year

I know that Christmas Week is behind us but I forgot to feature the following re-cut trailer to Home Alone…

The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons

This film, directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, might earn Pitt an Academy Award in 2009… we'll keep an eye on it.

HPHBP

A new trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has been released:



Although the trailer announces "THIS YEAR", the movie is to be released on 17 July 2009.

W.

On 17 Octover Oliver Stone released W., a film (a biopic, more precisely) about George W. Bush — it sounds great, please watch the trailers!

"A job interview from Hell"

Just like British mogul Sir Alan Sugar, Darth Vader is looking for an apprentice among 16 contestants… Let's watch the trailer:



"You're fired!"


PS. The series is based upon the American television show of the same name, featuring entrepreneur Donald Trump.

Singing in the rain

What if George Lucas decided to make a re-mastered version of the classic Singin' in the Rain and add a very personal touch of his own in passing? Check this out to find out:



For the record, Debbie Reynolds has a real connexion with Star Wars because she's Carrie Fisher's mom, who played Princess Leia in Episodes IV to VI.

The Dark Knight in Lego

The title says it all!

"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" Trailer

Yup, it's finally been released about a dozen of days ago, and I completely forgot to check it out. Now that it's done, please have a look at it as well and enjoy it.



Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is scheduled for release in November, apparently.

PS. I started reading the last book yesterday.

When a Joker meets another…

What if the Joker faces the Joker? I mean, Jack Nicholson (Batman, 1989) v Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight, 2008)? Let's watch the trailer:



"This town needs an enema!"

Jack Nicholson himself talks about playing the Joker:



The 1989 Joker had some very good lines, like these:

"What do you want?"
"My face on the one-dollar bill."
"You must be joking."
"Do I look like I'm joking?"

The Dark Knight

Today I went to the cinema to see The Dark Knight. This is truly the best film I've seen in years, not only for the brilliant script, dramatic scenes, perfect photography, but also for Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker. It wasn't Ledger on the screen, but just the Joker. Jack Nicholson's performance in Batman was already fantastic, but here Ledger gives the character a new dimension, namely that of a psychotic villain killing just to satisfy himself, and enjoying creating chaos in Gotham City. It wouldn't be much of a surprise if Ledger is awarded a posthumous Academy Award in March 2009, and if the film is nominated for Best Picture as well: Christopher Nolan did a marvellous job — just like in Batman Begins, being the mastermind behind both the script and the camera. I'm definitely going to see this movie a couple of extra times! I highly recommend it to you, even if you don't give a shit about the Batman franchise; go and watch it for the sake of it. Maybe this scene featuring Ledger will further convince you:



"This town deserves a better class of criminals. And I'm gonna give it to 'em. Tell all your men they work for me now."
"They won't work for a freak!"
"Frrrreak?"

And here's just another excellent trailer:



"Dent! Jesus! I thought you was dead…"
"Half." --> Brilliant. Harvey Dent / Two-Face's make up was terrific!

As a bonus, I even found the complete opening scene of the movie, a clever bank robbery by the Joker. If you never watch the videos I feature, please watch at least this one!!!

Brokebat Mountain

Yesterday I was telling you about the biggest pile of poo in the movie history, Batman & Robin. It was notably criticised for Batman and Robin having so-called "Bat nipples" on their Batsuits, arguing that director Joel Schumacher wanted to give them a gay look. That would of course strengthen that feeling of the "ambiguously gay duo" (as in the song) in the minds of the opposants to Schumacher's conception of the franchise. However, this alleged gay tone allows us to find highlight some interesting lines, and to make use of them in subtile parodies of the Brokeback Mountain theme.

"All you could think about was dick" --> LMAO

"Can you feel it coming?"

"You're not thinking straight."

And I almost forgot to show you the best part of the movie: you'll be surprised:

NostalgiaCritic analyses… "Batman & Robin"!

Here's the trailer of the most awaited critic/critique of one of the worst movies (or "pile of shit", I should write) that has ever been created. I even watched this "thing" this very afternoon, just to have a good laugh and then after I re-watched the brilliant review made by thatguywiththeglasses.



Perhaps you are willing to watch the movie trailer — but don't do it if you don't want to waste 2,5 minutes of your life.



Now, if you're ready, please watch this amazing review (sorry but there's no imbedding on his website):

Hancock

I'm definitely going to see this movie in the upcoming weeks, because I was stunned by the trailer (which you can watch below) and also by the positive critics that I've read. Moreover, the fact that the story is about a fallen superhero who gets drunk appeals me, perhaps because it's satirical and because it's unusual for a superhero, precisely.

Harry Potter is the Dark Knight

Some funny stuff, as usual: someone edited clips from the first Harry Potter movie so that they correspond to the Dark Knight second trailer:



Another try, but with fragments from all the HP movies:



I prefer this one, though:



A bonus: a Harry Potter version of the Indiana Jones 4 trailer:

Batman returns (I mean he's back)

Remember the first Batman: The Dark Knight trailer?



A very gifted film editor on YouTube came up with this re-cut trailer: shots from Tim Burton's 1989 Batman with the audio from The Dark Knight.



Wasn't that brilliant? According to me, the best bits is "Why so serious?" and "I like that": Jack Nicholson's facial expression is perfectly tuned with the audio.

The second trailer has eventually been released, so enjoy it!



The Joker (Heath Ledger) kicks ass! (but not for the Lord…) There's also a hint about district attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) becoming Two-Face… Did you spot that as well?

Bill Shaky

Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson) meets William Shakespeare (Hugh Laurie), telling him he's most unsatisfied with the pace of the action in Hamlet



Please also watch this fake trailer for a film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as Hamlet — as he did in a mise en abyme in Last Action Hero.

Indiana Jones IV: the trailer (2)

The second official trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has (eventually!) been released. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.



More TV trailers are to be seen on the official website. I'm really looking forward to watching that movie. I'm so eager that I'll sacrifice an afternoon in my study period to go to the cinema on 21 May when it is released. (Some call this day "InD-Day"!)

Coneheads

Here's the trailer of Coneheads, a movie which I like very much but which I haven't had the opportunity to watch for several years. Fortunately, I've got the DVD and I'll watch it in July or August. Till then, I can enjoy the trailer. From the Wikipedia entry (slightly edited):

Coneheads has been said to have made an "accidental" or "unintentional" political statement or social commentary about the nature of the immigrant experience in America, the filmmakers' ostensible intent being merely to entertain.

The film's plot premise: the adventures of the Conehead family — whose ship, as part of an advance scouting mission for an invasion, is shot down by a F-16 fighter-interceptor of the New Jersey Air National Guard, and they try to assimilate into American society and pursue the immigrant's American dream.

The film stars Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin as Beldar and Prymaat Clorhone (who later Anglicize their Remulakian surname to "Conehead"), parents of Connie (Michelle Burke), but also Michael McKean (seen in Dream On as Gibby), and supporting actors Sinbad, Phil Hartman, Jon Lovitz, the late Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, Jason Alexander and Alexander's Seinfeld co-star, Michael Richards, makes a cameo appearance.

Unfortunately extracts from the film are scarce on YouTube, so I propose you watch this fine example of rickrolling… (Remember?)

George Lucas in Love

About ten years ago, a fan of the first Star Wars trilogy decided to make a short film that would depict how the "holy creator", George Lucas, got his inspiration for the different events and characters of his space saga. Please watch George Lucas in Love:

"It's about a young space farmer…"

"Ahhhhhhhh! My hand!"

"Hey George! Check out my new duck: I named it Howard."

The title of this short film is of course a spoof on Shakespeare in Love.

If you're interested to see what Star Wars looks like in German, here's the trailer for Revenge of the Sith:
