Check out these new movie posters for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I can easily say, this is the movie I’m most looking forward to this year. Actually, it’s not that easy to say at all; with Transformers 2 and Star Trek also coming out.

If you haven’t read the Harry Potter books; first off, shame on you, and secondly, go read them now! The books start a little “kiddy”, but as you progress, from book to book, the characters get older, and the stories get more dark and serious. This is the sixth movie, with 2 more movies planned. Two more because the final, seventh book, will be split into two parts.

We could have seen Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince back in November of 2008, when it was originally scheduled to come out, but the studio decided to push it back to this Summer; hoping to make more money in the Summer movie mayhem.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince stupifies movie theaters on July 17th.

Ok, so as you read in my past posts about the Dragonball movie, I, along with the majority of Dragonball fans, have skepticism that this movie will be decent enough, or grossing enough, to warrant a Dragonball Z sequel.

This trailer is better than the old ones. I’m pretty sure it’s the first time I’ve heard Piccolo’s voice. I’m surprised; it sounds a lot like the voice from the anime. Having said that, I’m still not excited about the movie. I will see it though.

Will Ferrell stars as has-been scientist Dr. Rick Marshall, sucked into one and spat back through time. Way back. Now, Marshall has no weapons, few skills and questionable smarts to survive in an alternate universe full of marauding dinosaurs and fantastic creatures from beyond our world—a place of spectacular sights and super-scaled comedy known as the “Land of the Lost”. – MovieWeb

It’s horrible quality, and it’s in Japanese, but hey, it’s better than nothing. Or is it?

I’m hoping they didn’t ruin the movie by not sticking to the source material. There’s no Krillin in the movie for one. How can they do that? They decided to just cut one of the main characters out, like it was nothing important. I grew up watching Dragonball, and Dragonball Z, and from all the trailers I’ve seen so far, I’m not impressed or even excited to see the movie. Of course, I will see it, because I love Dragonball; that doesn’t mean I’ll like the movie though.

Dragonball Evolution is being released on April 8th…

“To theaters, it will come.”

After all the push backs, Fanboys is FINALLY coming to theaters. Sounds like good news, but it’s really not. The movie is only going to be released in the following cities on February 6th:

  • Austin, TX (1 screen)
  • Chicago, IL (3 screens)
  • Houston, TX (3 screens)
  • Los Angeles, CA (10 screens)
  • New York, NY (10 screens)
  • Philadelphia, PA (5 screens)
  • San Francisco, CA (6 screens)
  • Seattle, WA (3 screens)

If the movie does well, it’ll get a wider release in the following weeks. I’m not too confident that the movie will hit my home town, even if the release is wider.

First up; Zack and Miri Make a Porno. This movie was surrounded by controversy in a lot of places. They even had to take the word “porno” out of the title to put ads on TV and promote the film.

So this movie stars Elizabeth Banks and Seth Rogen as two best buds from school. They live in a dump, have a crappy car, and work low paying jobs. They’re electricity, heat, and water get shut off, and they come up with a plan to make money. Porn. Miri, Zack, and a few of their friends and hired stars get together to shoot a porno, all while love tenion sparks between Zack and Miri, who have been just friends for years.

All in all, it was a decent movie; it had it’s funny moments, it’s WTF moments, and it’s “romantic” moments. I say romantic, but I’m not sure if that’s the right word. My bottom line on this movie is RENT IT.

Back in July, TMZ reported an incident on the set of Terminator Salvation. They said that actor Christian Bale threw a fit, shouting expletives and threatening to kick the ass of the director of photography.

Well, it looks like the audio from that tirade is now online, in all it’s glory. I listened to it, and it’s not that big of a deal, but some people might think he’s one of those “diva” actors now. I agree with Bale in the audio, but I think he went a little overboard. Sure, Bale is a rich actor, making yet another movie, but still, he’s working, and when somebody messes up his work, he gets extremely pissed off. That being said, I can’t wait for Terminator Salvation!

You can listen to the full audio of the Christian Bale blow up, just click on “View Full Story”; and yes, I used a photo of Batman for this post.

This aired during last night’s Superbowl. I can easily say it was my favorite of all the new movie spots, closely followed by Angels & Demons, and Star Trek.

The video is very short, but still very satisfying. Yeah; short and satisfying.

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen will crush the box office on June 26th.

This new Star Trek trailer aired last night during the Super Bowl. It wasn’t the best of all the movie trailers that aired, but it is worth watching. It goes by fast but you can catch glimpses of McCoy, Sulu, Uhura, Spock, and of course, Kirk is seen throughout.

I’m wonder what will be the biggest movie of 2009. My prediction is, Star Trek, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, or Transformers 2 will gross the most, but who knows, there might be a surprise.

Star Trek beams into theaters on May 8th.
