Now, I know that you have all been itching to know exactly how it is that the Lycans broke away from their Vampire lords because the tidbits given the first movie of the trilogy, just was not enough. It simply whetted your appetite for more. So, here you have your steak.
The third (hopefully the last) of the Underworld series has released a trailer for your viewing pleasure. The first one was interesting and stimulating, the second one lacking, and the third one . . . ? It definitely has one thing going for it. Audiences love the epic CGI computerized festival of creatures, and that werewolf pack looked pretty amazing. However, can the grandiose nature of the visual stimuli make up for the one factor that got me through the sequel in this series? No Kate Beckinsale in tight black leather walking around in various levels of wetness? I might have to pass.
Watchmen trailer was released recently and it is visually a rollercoaster of stimuli. It was screened at the Scream 2008 awards where it received an award for most anticipated movie. Sometimes trailer editors get accused of putting all the best stuff in the trailer and leaving nothing as a surprise for the actually film. This might be the case, but how could you pass on a nuclear explosion going off behind the light touch of a kiss to the lips? I mean really? This movie is destined to pull in the box office dollars, and I am just praying that it’s not a flop on content. The story is excellent and the visuals are amazing, but only time will tell the reaction of the finicky fans of the comic book world.
The new rendition of Friday the 13thhas released a trailer. I’m not sure what to think. For fans of the original film, you will notice instantly that there is an edgier feel than in the previous film, albeit ever since Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, they have been nothing but a laugh riot. It made me recall sitting in front of the television at the age of seven or eight and turning on HBO to see the rain pouring down on a man in a ski mask. I think I was hooked on horror movies from that moment on. Hopefully some additional trailers will come out to show us which direction the new director took the film.
Here is a selection of last night’s jokes from the late night television world. I personally found Craig Ferguson’s to be my favorite. Via AP :
“Do you remember John Kerry? Neither do I. He ran for president, and didn’t do that well. And now he is being criticized for telling a joke about John McCain wearing adult diapers. How dare you, sir! That is MY job. Knock it off, Kerry. I’ll tell the McCain diaper jokes, you stick to losing elections to the least popular president ever in the history of America.” - Craig Ferguson, CBS’ “Late Late Show.”
ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) “has conducted a huge voter registration effort, and not all the registrations are valid. Now I have a lot of problems with ACORN. First, they should have picked a more ominous name, like KAOS or SPECTRE, instead of squirrel food. Something really scary: They are the biggest nut-based threat to America since Mr. Peanut tried to assassinate the GOP elephant to impress the Morton’s Salt girl.” - Stephen Colbert, Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report.”
“People are saying that John McCain does not have a prayer. But I’m pretty sure the Lord is with him. Mostly because they used to be college roommates.” - Colbert.
“Obama’s taking a day or two off from campaigning to visit his sick grandmother in Hawaii. … Some people think that visiting his sick grandma might actually help him win more of the elderly vote. In fact, to try to counter that today, John McCain stopped by our nation’s capital to visit his grandmother, Susan B. Anthony. … Meanwhile, Sarah Palin had a good thought: She suggested that while Barack Obama is over in Hawaii, it might be a good idea for him to keep an eye on Japan.” - Jimmy Kimmel, ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
