20th Century Fox has released a behind-the-scenes video online after debuting footage at this year’s SXSW festival earlier this week. Robert Rodriguez (Sin City) is producing the film with Nimród Antal (Armored) directing with Adrien Brody and Laurence Fishburn taking on the lead roles. Rodriguez states in the footage that he wants film to function as an introduction to the series and not like a 5th sequel or remake. We’ll have to see how successful he is at pulling that off. This will be the first Predator film outside of the two Alien Vs. Predator films since Predator 2 back in 1990. Will audiences respond to a solo Predator? Read the full story

Con-men films are often at times uninteresting and predictable. This is not one of those films. The Brothers Bloom is Rian Johnson’s follow up to his incredible directorial debut Brick, he has now crafted a welcome entry in the con-man genre and its for sure one of the year’s most delightful films.

The Brothers Bloom follows the con-men duo brothers Bloom (Adrein Brody) and Stephen (Mark Ruffalo). After pulling countless amounts of tricks in their life, Bloom wants to retire. After he  runs off to live a new life, Stephen eventually catches up with him offering him one last con.

2008 was a great summer for the movies. Good entertainment was had, and not just dumb popcorn movies for once. We got The Dark Knight, Wall-E, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Iron Man, Tropic Thunder, and Pineapple Express. This summer is even going to be better. Although the start was a bit shaky with Wolverine, Star Trek kicks it off right this weekend. Here are the top 15 stand out films this summer:

15- Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen

Release Date- June 24th

Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen will inevitably offer no more then a lot of explosions and CGI, but with robots. While the first film wasn’t a landmark of any kind, and mostly dumb, it was fun none-the-less. The 147 minute running time for the new one is a bit bothersome, but long running times are fine when the story calls for it. My only question is do we really need to see robots fighting for that long? Its a Michael Bay movie, there will only be good action, nothing more. Even the length of the first movie was a problem, the last thirty minutes turned into nothing but repetitive action. Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen will without a doubt be a fun action movie, even if it extends its welcome.

So 2008 is over, come on, it’s time to move on. Here are 50 great reasons to go to the theater this year:

January

My Bloody Valentine 3-D (Jan 16^th)

Synopsis: After surviving a fatal accident that claimed the lives of five of men in a mine shaft, Harry Warden performed a horrific killing spree on Valentines night in the town of Harmony, killing 22 people before he was shot to death.

Why You Should See It: Early screening reports have said there is more sex, limbs, and buckets of blood than one can handle. The 3-D gimmick is the only reason this is on my list. If implemented right it should be a great time at the movies.
