We all are expecting a new Mortal Kombat movie ever since Warner Bros bought the franchise from Midway. I did not expect this. There are reboots. This my friends, is a complete re-imagining. Gone are the days of campy techno and blue ninjas. The time for serial killers and eating of heads has arrived. This is a 8 min clip found on Youtube which could very well be the first few mins of a MK movie. This is way to high tech to be a user vid. Awesome dot com.
I can remember waiting in line with my younger brother in 1995 to see Mortal Kombat. Having spent days upon days playing the game, we couldn’t wait to see how Goro would look in real life or what characters would be revealed. The movie actually was pretty good and we left satisfied. Then we saw MK Armageddon. We left angry and disappointed.
Since Warner Bros bought Midway last year, ipso facto they own Mortal Kombat and will be making the newest version which is likely to be a complete reboot. No word on the story, cast, director, writers, but we do know the movie is greenlit. Let’s just hope they do a better job than the last atrocity.
I know, I know. A movie based on a video game. How can this possibly not turn into another Uwe Boll disaster? Well, a few reasons. First, it’s a Disney film. That doesn’t mean it is juvenile because Disney did all of the Pirates of the Caribbean films. They were really, really good. (except the third one). Second, the visuals look tremendous. Low budget, this is not. Third, it is a story 98% of the people in the world know nothing about, so they have to tell it from square one. This could be a great film. It could also be Max Payne 2.0. Watch and ponder.
Fuck. Yes. One of my favorite movies of all time and anyone who is even a little Irish owns Boondock Saints. I wore a Navy Issue Pea Coat for like 5 years after I saw this movie. A script and sequel has been rumored for almost a decade. Now, it has come to fruition. I give you the debut trailer for Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day.
Remember way back in the day when there was a live action Super Mario Bros. TV show? I certainly do. Captain Lou Albano, famous mostly his wrestling career, played the role of one of the best gaming characters of all time. Not to be outdone by the GI Joe PSA’s at the end of episodes, the Mario Bros. show added their own mix. Watch as Capt’n Lou tells you what happens if you take drugs.
I often do not put up movie trailers unless they are really worth it. This is the X-Men movie that I have waited for. The first 3 were okay, not great. I thought X-Men 3 was going to be something like this, but it was not. This is just like the awesome animation series from the mid 90′s. A ton of mutants hell bent on beating the crap out of each other using their powers. Check out the latest trailer. Word is they are planning an X-Men Origins: Magneto. We’ll keep you in the loop. Until then, here you go. Gambit FTMFW.
Transformers are not really video gaming related, but its our site and we like robots. So much so, we are going to post a sick, sick teaser for the sequel to the Transformers movie. Note a few things. One, there are more robots. Two, they all seem pissed. Three, The Fallen is a giant unicycle and he is doesn’t care about humans. Revenge is coming. I wish Megan Fox was coming. Hey-yo.
I am taking a different direction today from the FFG Video. Usually it is someone getting hurt or a someone doing something stupid which results in them getting hurt. Today, it is movie trailer day. The film is Slammin’ Salmon. It is the new Broken Lizard project. They did Super Troopers and Beerfest. Beerfest is our official movie btw. They also did Club Dread and Dukes of Hazzard. They sucked. This could be awesome. Watch and prepare to laugh your ass off.
Fuck. Yes. The live action GI Joe movie that will be coming out in August of 2009 has just launched their official site. There is nothing on there yet, but it is a start. Here is the link. I use to play GI Joes when I was younger and we would have tribunals like they do for war criminals at The Hague in Prague. I would tape Cobra Commander to a bottle rocket and launch him across the street for genocide. Then, I would try to find him because my dad would beat me if I wantonly destroyed my toys. I miss childhood. Days filled with playing army, Ellio’s pizza, and Sunny Delight. Sunny D FTW.
