Misguided Aggression - Behind the Scenes of the Kingdom Come video
Tuesday, July 21, 2009
From the press release: "Our Kingdom Come" comes off Misguided Aggression's debut album "Hatchala", which was recently released by Year of the Sun Records. The album was recorded at Icehouse Studios by producer Thomas Ireland and mixes bone crushing brutality with head-banging grooves to create the soundtrack to a drunken bar brawl between Lamb of God and Meshuggah. Sputnik Music hailed the album as, "One of the neatest records of extreme metal from an upcoming band I've heard in quite a while."
This looks kind of fun, but also kind of goofy. It is set in New Orleans and follows the war on drugs. It stars Val Kilmer with a bad accent, 50 Cent, Sharon Stone, and Michael Biehn.
Behemoth unleash preview of “Evangelion” DVD bonus footageBehemoth's Evangelion will be released in North America as a digi-pak containing the record as well as a bonus DVD that follows Behemoth throughout the recording process. The footage was shot while the band forged Evangelion between January and May of 2009. Fans can view a sneak preview of this footage right now on TheGauntlet.com! Evangelion was recorded in the band's hometown at Radio Gdansk studio with longtime sound engineer Malta, the Wieslawscy Brothers, and Daniel Bergstrand (drum engineering) in the producers' chairs. Evangelion was mixed in Miloco Studios by Colin Richardson (Machine Head, Slipknot, Carcass, Napalm Death) and will be unleashed in the US on August 11th via Metal Blade Records.
A little bit of Blade, a little bit of John Carpenter's Vampires, and just a touch of awesome. This new film from the Spierig brothers, makers of Undead, is set in a world where nearly everyone is a vampire and human blood is running out. The cast includes Ethan Hawke, Sam Neill, and Willem Dafoe.
Not so sure about this one. I haven't seen the original, but this looks like another mass-marketed remake that will fail to deliver. I'll probably end up seeing it...
This looks awesome! Horror comedy set in a world overrun by zombies. Join Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin as they try to suvive in this new world. This is going to be great! (I hope)
Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl - Clip and trailer
Friday, June 12, 2009
It has been awhile since I uttered the words "What the...?" at a clip or trailer before, but this did it. The clip features teen girls competing in a wrist cut rally. Yes, you read that right. It is completely random, bloody, and not for the easily offended. I guess I should not be surprised to learn it is from the director of Tokyo Gore Police.
The French hit REC is getting a sequel. I wonder if this will lead to Quarantine 2? The trailer seems to show the same location being investigated by the military when it hits the fan.
What else need be said? it is only tangentially connected to the movie, but te connection is there and that means the video has been making the rounds of movie sites. It features Norwegian model Linni Meister singing (ahem) a lame pop song about her anatomy.
Martin Scorsese's new movie looks great! I am officially hyped based on this trailer. The cast includes Leonardo Dicaprio, Michelle Williams, Max Von Sydow, Ben Kingsley, Mark Ruffalo, Jamie Earle Haley, Patricia Clarkson, Emily Mortimer, and Elias Koteas. Wow.
Screen Rant has a hi-rez image of Mickey Rourke in Iron Man 2, the first released of him as the film's baddie Whiplash. Take a look, let me know what you think. I like it, cannot wait to see him in action.
This looks pretty darn cool. I cannot say I ever thought I would see a martial arts based movie with stars like Kate Bosworth, Geoffrey Rush, and Danny Huston. The real star of the show is Dong-Kun Jang. The trailer is small and I look forward to seeing a higher rez version of it.
The new film from Sam Mendes is one I am looking forward to despite its uber-indie feeling trailer. The film stars John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph. Story: Directed by Academy Award winner Sam Mendes (“American Beauty”) from an original screenplay by Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida, this funny and heartfelt film follows the journey of an expectant couple (John Krasinski [“The Office’] and Maya Rudolph [“Saturday Night Live’]), as they travel the U.S. in search of the perfect place to put down roots and raise their family. Along the way, they have misadventures and find fresh connections with an assortment of relatives and old friends who just might help them discover “home” on their own terms for the first time. The movie features the music of Alexi Murdoch.
Director: Sam Mendes (“American Beauty,” “Road to Perdition,” “Jarhead,” “Revolutionary Road”)
Writers: Dave Eggers (A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius), Vendela Vida (And Now You Can Go)
Cast: John Krasinski, Maya Rudolph, Jeff Daniels, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Allison Janney, Chris Messina, Catherine O’Hara, Paul Schneider, Carmen Ejogo, Jim Gaffigan, Josh Hamilton, Melanie Lynskey
