"Raiders of the Lost Ark" Update

Kick-Ass 2, 2 Guns 2013 Releases

Kick-Ass, which was released in 2010, is a movie based on a comic book. It is one of the most fun, because of its ridiculousness and gore. Thankfully, a sequel to Kick-Ass is to be released June 28th next year, I'm excited to see even more of the awesomeness, but I have to wait some time.

2 Guns, an action film starring Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington has now officially announced it's release date for 2013, and will arrive to the big screen August 16th!

Snow White & The Huntsman with no Snow White!

Snow White & The Hunstman is coming back for more...without snow white? Not only did Kristin Stewart make a fool of herself, but she's losing acting jobs because of her fling with the director of the film, Rupert Sanders. Universal Studios hasn't made a public confirmation, but we all know why Kristin is no longer Snow White, obviously...because she's a bad actress! The Spinoff will be announced soon, and will still be directed by Sanders. None of this makes any sense, but neither does any of Kristin Stewarts movies.

"The Tomb" Info/News

Wow, did the world forgive Arnold fast!!! He has numerous movies coming out in 2013, a couple of them being "The Last Stand" and "The Tomb". "The Tomb" which hits theatres next January, features Stallone as well, them being the two front man for the movie. The storyline is somewhat entertaining, just theres holes that need to be filled, and by filled i mean clarrified, because they're not so much thought out correctly. 

"Ray Breslin is the world's foremost authority on structural security. After analyzing every high security prison and learning a vast array of survival skills so he can design escape-proof prisons, his skills are put to the test. He's framed and incarcerated in a master prison he designed himself. He needs to escape and find the person who put him behind bars."

Don't get me wrong, it's a great concept. One thing that I don't get though is that Ray Breslin built the 'prison', but yet when he's trapped in it, he can't get out of the own jail he built. That's like setting up a safe for yourself, but you forget what numbers to to put in to unlock and access. Tell me what you think. Comment and Follow! Check for more of the "The Tomb" on Flick Report in the upcoming months. I'm sure it will be good, Sly is never disappointing.

"The Last Stand" Details/Info

"I'm back!" He says in the trailer for the new soon to be released "Expendables 2". Turns out Arnold wasn't joking as he's got one hell of an agenda for the years ahead. This poster for "The Last Stand" was just released earlier today along with the synopsis:
       After leaving his LAPD narcotics post following a bungled operation that left him wracked with remorse and regret, Sheriff Ray Owens (Schwarzenegger) moved out of Los Angeles and settled into a life fighting what little crime takes place in sleepy border town Sommerton Junction. But that peaceful existence is shattered when Gabriel Cortez (Eduardo Noriega), the most notorious, wanted drug kingpin in the western hemisphere, makes a deadly yet spectacular escape from an FBI prisoner convoy. With the help of a fierce band of lawless mercenaries led by the icy Burrell (Peter Stormare), Cortez begins racing towards the US-Mexico border at 250 mph in a specially-outfitted Corvette ZR1 with a hostage in tow. Cortez’ path: straight through Summerton Junction, where the whole of the U.S. law enforcement, including Agent John Bannister (Forest Whitaker) will have their final opportunity to intercept him before the violent fugitive slips across the border forever. At first reluctant to become involved, and then counted out because of the perceived ineptitude of his small town force, Owens ultimately rallies his team and takes the matter into his own hands, setting the stage for a classic showdown.

Sounds pretty intense. If you want to see Arnold make his comeback to the big screen, check him out along with a shitload of other legends in the new movie coming out next week, "The Expendables 2".

"Seven Psychopaths" Exclusive Trailer

       Brand new exclusive trailer for "Seven Psychopaths" which comes out October 12th. It's a comedy directed by Martin McDonagh, and features actors Colin Farrell, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell, Christopher Walken and Tom Waits. Hopefully Colin Farrell can redeem himself after the lame "Total Recall", by playing the major role in this. The plot is very original and is a great idea, sounds like a lot of fun to me. 
                Marty (Farrell) is a struggling writer who dreams of finishing his screenplay, "Seven Psychopaths." Billy (Rockwell) is Marty’s best friend, an unemployed actor and part time dog thief, who wants to help Marty by any means necessary. All he needs is a little focus and inspiration. Hans (Walken) is Billy’s partner in crime: a religious man with a violent past. Charlie (Harrelson) is the psychopathic gangster whose beloved dog Billy and Hans have just stolen. Charlie is unpredictable and extremely violent and wouldn’t think twice about killing anyone or anything associated with the theft. Marty is going to get all the focus and inspiration he needs, just as long as he lives to tell the tale. 
            
           Awesome!

"Lawless" HD Trailer

     
       The new film, "Lawless" will be coming to theatres soon, and looks like it's going to be a good one. With a major cast with guys like Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy, Guy Pearce, and Shia LaBeouf. This film looks fantastic, and just from the trailer, you can tell it will be a hit. Can't wait to see it!

"Lone Survivor" News/Details

       This could be good! Peter Berg, director of numerous movies, one including "Hancock", has now took on the job of directing a new movie titled "Lone Survivors". Lone Survivors is based on the book, which is about a Navy SEAL team’s fight to stay alive during a Taliban ambush in the midst of their 2005 mission to kill a terrorist leader in Afghanistan. The guys you see above  (Taylor Kitsch, Ben Foster, and Mark Wahlberg) will be some of the leading men on the big screen, and will be joined by even more stars like Eric Bana and Emile Hirsch. No details have been put out for a release date or pre-production. I will look forward to seeing this though, as I'm sure everyone else will too, stay tuned for updates!

"The Expendables 3" Talks

  The action packed, badass, classic, favorited series "The Expendables" is adding on another film to the series, which will make it it's third. Yes, I know the Expendables 2 is coming out next week, and there is already talks for a third...that's very practical! So, the producer was like you know what this cast of Sly Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Chuck Norris, Jean Claude Van Damme, Bruce Willis, Arnold "GET TO THE CHOPPA!!" Schwarzenegger, Randy Couture and Liam Hemsworth Cyrus isn't enough! For the next movie, they got Nicolas Cage, who has made himself a joke, and are trying to get the following: Clint Eastwood, who is a legend, Harrison Ford, who is a legend, and Wesley Snipes, who was a legend, then went to prison, but if he comes out to do this then he will be a legend. Now nothing is super official, but to get this cast is a huge move, and to pull it off would be spectacular. Let's see if they can do it! Go Avi Lerner!!! In the meantime, catch the Expendables 2 Friday, the 17th. If you haven't seen the trailer or want to check out other shit, click here> http://theexpendables2film.com/

"The Campaign" Movie Review

CAN'T READ? WATCH A VIDEO REVIEW BY CLICKING THIS LINK>  "THE CAMPAIGN" VIDEO REVIEW

                 Today's review is of "The Campaign", a new comedy starring Zach Galifianakis and Will Ferrell. It is also directed by the famous Jay Roach. It is about two quirky politicians that are rivals against one another, who happen to be running for a spot as congressman in a district in North Carolina. "The Campaign" was one of my most anticipated comedy's of the summer, mainly because the trailer was actually one of the few comedic trailers that made me laugh out loud numerous times. I do like Will Ferell in certain movies, a lot of them are funny, but then again, I don't like them much. Zach Galifianakis, who I think is very talented repeats himself a lot in the roles he portrays. The trailer looked decieving, it looked like a different role for both of them. I was waiting to see how this movie tackles the subject of politics. Unfortanately, after seeing it, this movie really is just another Will Ferrell flop. Zach Galifianakis' character is a little bit different, but it is too much alike Alan Garner from "The Hangover". This time, he has a little bit more of a brain, and is more developed character wise. Will Ferrell is up to his regular shtick, just doing the loud mouth, red neck guy. Overall, playing an irritating idiot... 
               What I did notice a lot in this movie is Will Ferrell was improvising lines, and a lot of it doesn't work in his movies. Like most Will Ferrell comedies, the delivery is a hit or miss, you will get a brief section that is humorous and funny, but there was a lot of laugh-out-louds for a majority of the movie, and then you will get a dull phase with vulgar humor. Luckily for both of them, even though some of there jokes don't work, they both bring enough heart and life to their characters to make it a little bit more bearable.

               I want to start out saying this movie isn't bad at all by any means, but it is pretty inconsistent, and a little misleading for reasons here and there. This film could have had so much more smart humor, especially in an election year, I thought they would take more digs and they had many opportunities to do that, but never did. They did not make one single Obama or Romney joke, which could have tied in well with the scenarios. Like I said the movie has some very funny,great moments, as in one scene involving this dog that was hysterical. The movie near the end, is very predictable, and you can tell what will happen from the middle of the movie. Near the end, it starts to get super cliched, and not believable. It evolves into this uncentimental, cheesy story. There is a lot of pacing from back and forth from one thing to the next. There may be a time where a lot of jokes hit, and then may be 15-20 minutes of them digging up "scraps" from anything that they can find, so they attempt it. 
                   Another thing bad to apply into any comedy movie, is you don't get to feel for the characters. They do make Zach Galfiianakis likeable in certain spots and Will Ferrell too, but you never care for who wins. So, at the revealing of who wins, you kind of are like "oh great, cool, whatever". I didn't really care who won either way. The writers try to make you care for at least one of the candidates, I actually cared more for the supporting characters (Jason Sudeikis, who plays Will's campaign manager). I did like Jason Sudeikis a lot, I would almost want to see a spin off of him more, and Dylan McDermott, who plays Zach Galfianakis' campaign director. I thought the supporting casts were some of the best parts of this movie. If you like Will Ferrell or Zach Galfianakis' movies, you will probably enjoy this. One misconception, is that if you think from the trailer, this movie will be hilarious, it's not, it's inconsistent and predictable. It does have enough laughs where I say to check it out. 
                   I rate it as one of the weakest comedies of the year because of it's competition, but it's not necessarily bad. A disappointment is it had a lot of potential, but didn't live up to it. "The Campaign" could have been a smarter movie, but mainly was just juvenial humor. It's definitely one of Will Ferrell's better movies. Overall, a descent movie, a fun watch.
