‘The Dark Knight Rises’ (and saves the day again!)

Posted by Cielo Stack ⋅ September 21, 2012 ⋅ Leave a Comment

(Note: I know that I am little behind in the summer movie watching department so sue me!)

BLAM!” ”POW!” “BOOM! ” Remember those action words flashing across your Zenith cathode ray tubed television?! Yeah you do and if you don’t then you do not know what you have been missing. The Batman television series had many of us hooked and we anxiously waited to see if the weekly dastardly villain had finally put an end to Batman’s and Robin’s heroic ways.

Ahhhh…….the olden days. That campy Technicolor Batman of yore has now been replaced by Christopher Nolan’s present day Batman: bedraggled recluse being tended to by the ever faithful Alfred in the cavernous Wayne Manor. Eventually, Bruce Wayne is forced to don the suit due to the appearance of the heinously masked Bane (Tom Hardy). This muscle bound mercenary’s mission to overtake Gotham is overwhelming for even the most well equipped super hero like Batman. Enter Batman’s Scooby gang: Commissioner James Gordon (Gary Oldman), intuitive, street smart beat cop John Blake ( Joseph Gordon-Levitt), thief Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway) and invention extraordinaire, Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman).

What ensues is the requisite bone crunching, car smashing, grenade launching, and gunfire battles we come to expect out of a summer action blockbuster. As Gotham falls to the merciless Bane, we desperately root for the good guys to come out on top. As each actor took a turn onscreen to deliver their lines, my candy supply dwindled as well as my large lemonade. Each scene became enticingly and seemingly the end, and yet not while my lower extremities became numb. Despite the superb performances and action sequences, The Dark Knight Rises in the end stretched beyond a normal human’s attention span.

Awesomesauce | Exclusive 4 Min Super Preview for ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’

Posted by Jasmine McGee ⋅ May 17, 2012 ⋅ 1 Comment

So far it seems like The Avengers is surely going to be the biggest film of the year. I’ve already seen it twice and I can see why it’s made almost 4 billion and counting in revenue. The film just had all the components of comedy, action, great acting, special effects, and overall it was just one of the best movies I’ve seen this year. It’s hard to measure how the other films this summer are going to stack up in comparison to The Avengers.

I’m not sure how well Prometheus, The Dark Knight, and The Amazing Spider-Man will do at the box office, but so far the trailers and exclusives for each film have been promising.

One of the most promising clips I’ve seen is the exclusive 4 minute super preview for The Amazing Spider-Man. I was already planning on seeing the film, but the exclusive super preview sealed the deal for me. There is no way I’m missing out on seeing The Amazing Spider-Man. It just looks really really good.

I doubt it will beat The Avengers in revenue at the box office, but it still could be a big summer movie. Check out the exclusive 4 minute super preview below. You think it’s going to be a box office hit?

The Dark Knight Rises – Prestige Style (Innovative New Trailer)

Posted by Jasmine McGee ⋅ February 23, 2012 ⋅ Leave a Comment

The months just seem to be buzzing by, which isn’t receiving much complaint from me. I turn 21 in April, and I graduate college in Summer. So if the months want to buzz on by, then that’s quite alright by me! However, it still feels like an awfully long wait until the summer action flicks will arrive. The best apart about summer is always chilling out and going to the summer movies. Well of course traveling and hitting the beach, but movies are pretty awesome. So yes, it does suck a little we have to wait for all the action movies, but at least we can spend the next few months enjoying trailers, as well as fan-made creations.

Actually, we don’t have to wait terribly long for films such as The Avengers (hits a theatre near you May 4th, 2012,) but we still have to wait until summer to enjoy The Dark Knight Rises. I’m stoked about seeing what Christian Bale will do in this movie (hopefully he didn’t cuss anyone out on set again) but for now I just have to enjoy the trailers. Which I might add, um pretty epic trailer so far!

So we’ve got this awesome trailer that shows us how epic the film is going to be, but some people wanted more. Well luckily, a fan out there decided to take one of my favorite movies, The Prestige, and create a new trailer for The Dark Knight Rises that infuses Michael Caine’s speech from The Prestige with clips from the trailer for the upcoming film. If you thought the original trailer for the film was epic, then check out the new trailer below. It’s pretty spectacular! The cuts (editing) is timed in precision with Michael Caine’s speech, which creates this awesome effect of an even more dark & sinister film driven by the magic of compelling words.
