| Posted: 13 Aug 2011 02:39 PM PDT  Ironclad Directed by Jonathan English Starring James Purefoy, Paul Giamatti, Kate Mara, Brian Cox, Derek Jacobi, Vladmir Kulich, Charles Dance, Jason Flemyng, Mackenzie Crook, Aneurin Barnard, Jamie Foreman Release Date: June 8th, 2011 The name Jonathan English may not mean jack squat to you now, but after you see his latest film, Ironclad, you'll remember it for goddamn sure. English is the writer (with Erick Kastel and Stephen McDool) and director of this latest entry in the medieval action genre that has gotten a major adrenaline fix recently with the success of the HBO series A Game of Thrones and the literal onslaught of blood and steel battle epics like Neil Marshall's Centurion and Christopher Smith's Black Death. Armed with a tight script, a fantastic cast ready to chew scenery and kick ass, and buckets of blood and severed limbs, English saddles up to take on that hoariest of cinema sub-genres that's easiest to do if you have little funding to work with: the siege movie.

| Watch Now: Trailer and Clips For Killer Car Flick ‘Super Hybrid’ Posted: 13 Aug 2011 11:59 AM PDT  One of the most common complaints about the movie industry is that the majority of the films getting released contain not a shred of originality and feel more like assembly line products than anything approaching entertainment that a person with an I.Q. larger than double digits can enjoy without feeling the need to injure the nearest house pet. Every year Hollywood talent agencies compile a "Blacklist" of the best screenplays making the rounds at studios and not getting made, and on occasion some of those scripts manage to make it to the big screen. Entire books have been written about great scripts that sat on the shelf for years for various reasons that defy all manner of logical thought. Yet despite all this it is still possible for a movie about a killer car to be made, and for that movie to be called Super Hybrid. And because it is possible, it has happened; a movie called Super Hybrid has been made. You can watch the trailer and several clips from the film below this article. [...]      |
| Watch Taylor Lautner Slide Down A Building In This New ‘Abduction’ Trailer Posted: 13 Aug 2011 10:12 AM PDT  We've already seen a bunch of photos of Twilight star Taylor Lautner in action in his new conspiracy-thriller Abduction, as well as the first trailer for movie. Now, Lionsgate has released the second trailer for the film, directed by John Singleton. Watch the new trailer here below. In Abduction, Lautner plays a teenager who finds his baby photo on a missing persons website, which makes him question his background, and eventually he becomes a target of the CIA and the Serbian Secret Service [...]      |
| Movie Review: 30 Minutes Or Less Posted: 13 Aug 2011 08:00 AM PDT  30 Minutes or Less Directed by Ruben Fleischer Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Danny McBride, Nick Swardson, Aziz Ansari, Michael Pena, Fred Ward, Bianca Kajlich, Dilshad Vadsaria Release Date: August 12, 2011 Director Ruben Fleischer has a variety of unorthodox ways to evoke action, rampage, and chaos. After only two feature-length films (first being Zombieland) we can see that his forte may already be established and that his vision has become distorted by things that go boom. Innumerable are his whacked out and distinct ideas that somehow and some way get made into a film that either succeeds or misses the mark somewhat. Refer to Zombieland, in which that film sufficiently mapped out and exhibited more than a dozen extravagant ways to execute an approaching zombie. His approach to 30 Minutes or Less is even more chaotic yet less coherent and blatantly contrived. The lack of regard for more details that he displays here (this deficiency can be attributed to the 83–minute run time) may represent his inability to structure a fully believable tale that consists of mindless individuals in incomparable circumstances.

| Metallica: 20th Anniversary Of The ‘Black Album’ Posted: 13 Aug 2011 06:21 AM PDT  Metallica Metallica - The Black Album U.S.: CD | MP3 UK: CD | MP3 Recorded October 1990 – June 1991 Released August 13, 1991 At the end of the 1980s, an epic battle was about to take place. Grunge was wafting its sweaty cardigan in the direction of the drainpipe-trousered metallers hoping to lay claim to their throne. One band was not about to concede the new decade to any pretenders and set about writing not only one of the defining albums of the decade, but one of the greatest metal albums of all time. The almighty Black Album arrived, and nobody was going to remove Metallica's crown. Officially titled Metallica, it became known as the Black Album thanks to the cover art. It's black. Released August 13, 1991, it demonstrated a marked change for Metallica. The band's thrash-heavy, white-hot relentless riffs were replaced by a slower, heavier sound that was less like a machine-gun attack and more like a steady series of hammer blows. On previous albums like …And Justice or All and Master Of Puppets, Metallica showcased their songwriting abilities through epic, challenging musical pieces. This time, however, they went in the opposite direction and kept everything much more simple. The riffs were shorter and catchier and in "Nothing Else Matters" they even have a love song that is actually my favourite track on the album. The galloping riffs of "Through The Never," "The Struggle Within," and "Holier Than Thou" prove that Metallica is still the same band. Much of this praise -- or blame -- was laid at the feet of producer-of-the-moment Bob Rock [...]      |
