New Release Tuesday
I am not a huge Lord of the Rings fan but since we are
starting at the beginning of the story here I am kind of interested. Know to make a spare 3 hour window…
I have always been a big fan of director Kathyrn Bigelow
since her vampire flick Near Dark. The Hurt Locker was a powerful military
drama and this looks to be the same. I cannot wait to check out how we may have
finally got America’s most wanted.
I remember checking out this little time travel flick in the
theater in 1982 and thinking it was really cool. When it was first released to DVD a decade
ago I bought a copy and found that this movie did not hold up at all. Fred Ward was really trying to latch on to a
franchise with this or Remo Williams but neither caught on with audiences.
I do not mind Paul Rudd but this movie does nothing for
me. That is probably because it has the
fake and untalented Leslie Mann in it.
It is about time this Arnold classic got a release.

Trailers from Hell
I have heard of this site for years but just never really
took the time to check it out until late last year. Trailers from Hell is a wild ride of a site
to check out trailers from many old and perhaps forgotten films. They are actual movie trailers and they specialize
in horror and exploitation films with commentary voice over from famous
directors, writers, or others from the filmmaking industry and they are known
as “Gurus”. The site launched in 2007
from famed horror director Joe Dante (The Howling, Gremlins) with the help of
others on the technical side.
The site contains hundreds of trailers that can be viewed
alphabetically or by your favorite guru.
I love all the gurus on here but particularly like the commentaries’ by
Dante, directors Edgar Wright, John Landis, and writer Josh Olsen. So if you like classic movies of every genre then
give them a visit at their site: http://trailersfromhell.com/
They also have 2 DVDs out: Trailers from Hell Volume 1
and Volume 2. You can find a great deal
on these at Shout! Factory: http://www.shoutfactory.com/?q=node/216067
