What do you get when you put Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Eric Roberts, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, David Zayas, Giselle Itié, Terry Crews, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger in a film together? Exactly what you’d expect — a huge budget, lots of explosions, non-stop fighting and mostly mediocre acting talent. All the ingrediants for a great cheesey, mindless action film.

It’s called The Expendables. It’s about a team of the world’s most dangerous and highly-trained mercenaries who go on a mission to South America to overthrow and assassinate a powerful, evil dictator and his army, who has been causing devastation, chaos and torture for the last twenty years.

In a recent interview on an Italian talk show Quentin Tarantino was asked about a couple of sequel possibilities. He said “maybe” to a Inglorious Basterds prequel, “uh, no…it’ll never happen” to a Pulp Fiction sequel and then, and this is the important part, says “but you didn’t ask the third thing. Would I ever do a third…a Kill Bill, Volume 3?” The woman looks taken aback, then asks the question. Will you do Kill Bill 3? “Yes!” he replies — and the crowd goes wild.

District 9 is an upcoming science fiction film produced by Peter Jackson and directed by Neill Blomkamp. I remember seeing an earlier trailer for this movie and not knowing what to make of it — this new trailer looks great.  This new movie is based on Alive in Joburg (video), a short film directed by Neill Blomkamp, Sharlto Copley, Simon Hansen and Shanon Worley. The title is influenced by real life District Six, Cape Town. Copley also portrayed one of the interviewed policemen. The short film is about aliens landing in South Africa and becoming confined to a specific area and forced to work.

If you’ve not already heard the news — Tim Burton has been working on an adaptation of the classic film Alice in Wonderland . It is based off the Lewis Carroll novels Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. Starring Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter,  Anne Hathaway as the White Queen, Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen, and Matt Lucas as Tweedledee and Tweedledum. The film will use a technique combining live action, motion capture technology, and stop motion.

A teaser trailer was just released and it looks pretty crazy– definitely what you’d expect from a Tim Burton film. But don’t take my word for it, have a look for yourself:

After opening up to huge numbers, it’s apparent the new Star Trek movie is a hit amongst Trekkies and non-fans alike. However director (and Lost creator) J.J. Abrams is apparently catching some heat from the die-hard Trekkies who have been obsessing, dissecting, and theorizing about the film.

The theories range from interesting to ridiculous. Abrams, apparently eager to dismiss some of these theories recently spoke out to MTV. If you have not seen the movie yet, or are extremely bored by Star Trek minutiae you may want to skip the rest of this article.

The “Abrams Sabotaged Shatner” Theory: Some Trekkies have postulated that the new movie’s inclusion of the Beastie Boys classic “Sabotage” is a subtle dig at the original Captain Kirk, who has been known to mispronounce the word as “sabotaage.”

Seth Macfarlane is the creator of such hit shows as Family Guy, American Dad and the upcoming Family Guy spin-off  The Cleveland Show. Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy is a new uncensored video which I can best describe as Family Guy meets WarioWare meets HBO. If you’ve ever watched Family Guy you’re certainly familiar with the constant cut-away sketches and flashbacks. This video is basically a collection of these style of shorts presented in a rapid-fire fashion. Only the material and language is way more explicit. Expect plenty of swearing, poop, racism, religion and sex jokes.

Fans of Macfarlane and politically incorrect humor will no doubt love this video. There are a lot of pop-culture references and celebrity parodies.
