4 Great Movies You Will Never See This Year

Summer Blockbuster season is approaching an end... Which for a movie buff like me is the best time for blogging, as now is the time when most of the blockbusters for next year start releasing teasers and virals and also the contenders for the year's Oscars start releasing trailers...

A lot of the journalists from the movie industry also consider this the most interesting part of their work schedules, as this is when phantom whispers of movies from Blockbuster paradise start garnering volume.... Ridley Scott to direct the Alien prequel, Steven Spielberg to direct the remake of Harvey, Futurama's coming back from the dead and what not.

Well anyways as a prelude to the inevitable list of blockbuster trailers, here's a look at some of the best movies releasing this summer, you might never hear of:

Not Quite Hollywood

The story of Oz Movies.... Their unbelievable overdose of grotesque, stereotypes, nudity and above all car explosions became inspirational for a number of Hollywood's biggest stars including Quentin Tarantino who is also a part of this film.





An Unlikely Weapon

A documentary film narrated by Kiefer Sutherland about Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Eddie Adams, the man who shot the iconic snap of police chief General Nguyễn Ngọc Loan executing a Vietcong prisoner, Nguyễn Văn Lém, on a Saigon street, on February 1, 1968, during the opening stages of the Tet Offensive.





Still Walking

For those of you who know Hirokazu Koreeda, this, according to me, is his best flick till date. For those who don't you might want to check out Hana, After Life or Nobody Knows before you decide on whether you would want to continue on this Odyssey of beautiful, light hearted and yet powerfully profound cinema.





Brothers

Stars Tobey Maguire, Natalie Portman and Jake Gylenhall and is directed by Jim Sheridan (In America, My Left Foot and also the infamous get Rich or Die Tryin') is a world war story of 2 brothers who are as alike as chalk and cheese, and the trials faced by the family as one goes off to war.



Trailers for the next Martin Scorcese film - Shutter island

The new film stars Leonardo DeCaprio, Mark Ruffalo and Sir Ben Kingsley. Plot synopsis courtesy IMDB.com...

'It's 1954, and up-and-coming U.S. marshal Teddy Daniels is assigned to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Boston's Shutter Island Ashecliffe Hospital. He's been pushing for an assignment on the island for personal reasons, but before long he wonders whether he hasn't been brought there as part of a twisted plot by hospital doctors whose radical treatments range from unethical to illegal to downright sinister. Teddy's shrewd investigating skills soon provide a promising lead, but the hospital refuses him access to records he suspects would break the case wide open. As a hurricane cuts off communication with the mainland, more dangerous criminals "escape" in the confusion, and the puzzling, improbable clues multiply, Teddy begins to doubt everything - his memory, his partner, even his own sanity.'

Trailer looks very much like a slasher-horror-thriller flick which is shocking coming from Scorsese. Well atleast we can rest assured that this is not his attempt at a remake of 'The Great Gatsby'. 'Nuff said... enjoy the trailer...

Some of the Best Stuff from Comic Con 2009

Haven't really been there, but have been an ardent follower of the now cult event. Here is some of the really good stuff revealed at this year's Comic Con:

  • The next Batman movie starts filming in 2010. Gary Oldman slipped this in, but David Goyer the writer of the last 2 and supposedly the third one disagrees. But hey... I am a glass half full guy...
  • Edward James Olomos of Battlestar Galactica admits that there is one loose thread to the show... "Who left Odama the letter?"... No idea what this means... Am still stuck on the second season.
  • Peter Jackson giving a sneak preview of District 9... I must admit... The trailer looks bloody awesome and the movie is up for launch on the 13th of August woldwide.... Doesn't look like India might get to see it anytime soon, because its a "low budget B-grade flick".... Trust me the trailer puts all the movies spending millions of dollars on their CGI (read all Harry Potters and the unncessary post Cameron Terminators) to shame. Check it out for yourself..
  • Peter Jackson also revealed that the Hobbit script is gonna be ready in a couple of weeks. In addition, if the studio approved (like hell they wouldn't... Peter Jackson and Del Toro together = scripting heaven) casting would begin soon after. (Please God no Daniel Radcliffe... not even as a spot boy on set)
  • James Cameron's Avatar presentation, which from what Matt Goldberg says.. does not live up to the impossible hype, does not redefine cinema as we know it and does not cure all the disease of the world and does not give us 1000 years of peace and prosperity. However its still pretty damn good.
  • Timur Bekambetov confirmed that Wanted 2 is well on its way.
  • Trailer for 2012 looks amazing... Nobody destroys humanity like Roland Emmerich
  • New images of Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow and Mickey Rourke as Whiplash.

3 Wolverine TV Spots

Trailer for the Wolverine TV Spots have gone on air.... No clue what it contains cuz I am posting before I am checking.. Lemme know what u guys think....

Trailer for the TV Spots



TV Spot 1 - Outcasts



TV Spot 2 - Brothers



TV Spot 3 - Legends



Call me a skeptic but I really think this movie will bomb...

2nd Transformers Trailer Rocks!!

In the 80s this guy would have been a cult B Film Maker, In the 70s he would have made the best spaghetti westerns.. However in the 90s he met the king of summer blockbuster land Jerry Bruckheimer and the twisted genius turned senile Steven Spielberg...............Ladies and Gentlemen I give you .............The one man who can make a movie fun with absolutely no storyline whatsoever.. Michael "I am the best at blowing stuff up" Bay....

First Look At Inglorious Basterds!!

K... Some important clearing up... This is not a remake of the original... Just the concept was so damn cool of a bunch of Americans just going gung ho in Nazi-land that Tarantino could not resist.. This as would be obvious is his warped rendition of it....(droool)....

This is as much a spaghetti western as a war film so please oh please don't for once consider the possibility of Tarantino creating a serious war drama... For thats one thing this one aint!!

Additionally... Tarantino 'humongously' respects Enzo Castellari contrary to whatever the fuck you may have heard... And now for the juicy stuff .... I give you:

  • Trailer of Inglorious Basterds
  • Trailer of the original Inglorious Bastards
  • Tarantino speaking to Enzo and finally just something I found online
  • Tarantino ripping a journalist apart

Inglorious Basterds



The Inglorious Bastards



Tarantino and Castellari



Tarantino takes Fat Journalist Apart



You have so not seen war if its not through Tarantino' eyes!!! I LOVE ME SCALPS!!!

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Trailer & Fast and Furious Trailer

My Fave trailers from the lot launched during Superbowl:

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Trailer kicks some serious ass... Megan Fox looks hot....




Fast and Furious

New body: Original parts - Read tons of babes, cars, insane stunts, killer soundtrack, dead faced Paul Walker (boooooo!!!! hissssss!!!) and oh FYI......Vinny is back!!!!

Angels & Demons... and Tom Hanks with some weird hair!!

Da Vinci Code was factually (or for the lack of it, I don't fucking care) impressive. The story by itself though in my honest to God opinion sucked. And Dan Brown is no Shakespeare for sure.... So what do they do for the movie -

They get the brilliantly inconsistent, dreary and unimaginative director on board - Ron Howard. This moron, decides to strip his movies of the one good thing in them - The Genious of Russell Crowe... and replaces him with Tom Hanks, who is also a colossus in acting proficiencey no doubt... However... just to annoy the crap out of me and countless others he gives him an extraordinarily gay hair cut... 'Nuff said..

For all those who still give a damn!!!



p.s:- The trailer sucks as well

Star Trek

Never been a real fan of this series... But this one has JJ Abrams directing and Zachary "Sylar" Quinto as "Spock". The trailer blew my mind as well!

G.I. Joe Movie Trailer

K... I am still a sceptic, the cast sucks (Dennis Quaid has a penchant for choosing movies that bomb), has the most untrustworthy director - Stephen Sommers (Van helsing, Deep Rising...umm I liked The Mummy though :P). Also the trailer starts kinda lame (read ree-hee-hee-hee-ally cheesy dialogues)... Though the special effects are impressive and the action sequences do show promise.... I really hope they dont screw up this one up... Dont want to fuck up fond weekday evening memories!!!

Race to Witch Mountain Trailer

My bet for the surprise hit of this year... The Rock and (Carla Gugino (not topless or getting banged.. goddamned kids flicks).. starring in a Disney flick titled 'Race to Witch Mountain'.. or something like that....



If untrue.. I can pin sarcasm as my excuse...

Wolverine, Dragon Ball Z and Terminator Salvation

here in High Res.... Oh and BTW Christian bale is John Connor... is also the man starring with Johnny Depp in his next...'nuff said

X Men Origins: Wolverine



Snikt??? Aye Aye Captain!! Look like we are all set for the best or the worst flick next summer....Ooh ooh oooh... Did I mention we have Gambit too.... How geek-o-logically cool is that...

Dragon ball Evolution



Definitely a flop..... This inspite of the fact that I am a huge fan!! Why.. cuz Justin Chatwin is Goku.. thats why... no Vegeta (did I spell that right). Only saving grace.... Chow Yun Fat as Roshi... Hope I end up eating my words.. cuz the sequel will soooo kick ass with vegeta in it....

Terminator: Salvation




The only guaranteed blockbuster of next year... Hu - Y u ask??? Well 3 reasons - "Christian Uber-Awesome Bale" thats why!!! Reportedly he has said that Salvation will do for Terminaor what Begins did for the Batman franchise.

Didja know that:

Director McG asked his actors to read the novel 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy, because he wanted them to absorb the bleakness of the world in the novel

For those who came in late (source: Wikipedia) The Road is a post-apocalyptic tale describing a journey taken by a father and his young son over a period of several months, across a landscape blasted years before by an unnamed cataclysm that destroyed civilization and, apparently, most life on earth.

Who Watches The Watchmen... I for one do!!

Thought Id get to what I do best... Give ule the best in up and coming flicks evryone has... has to watch

Lets start with my personal fave trailer.. The Watchmen



Now lets see.. great trailer, great book (rated by Time as one of the greatest novels of the last century), great Director (300 fame).. whats the catch... Well The Watchmen has been a political thriller of great acclaim.. implying... Lots of talking.. gripping no doubt... but elementally not ur obvious contender for an action packed pop corn evening flick.. In fact the book has barely any fight sequences. Therin lies the problem... The trailer is highly deceptive... It betrays fight sequences that would make The Matrix seem like something from the Jurassic ages.... WB are setting themselves up for a problem child i what I fear... believe you me... Id love to be proven wrong....
