“Jack Reacher” (2012) - Teaser Trailer
Paramount has released a teaser trailer for their upcoming adaptation of the Lee Child novel, One Shot.
Starring Tom Cruise as the title character, the film centers around Jack Reacher—an ex-military investigator—who has been called to help the suspect of shooting spree where six shots were used to kill five people and track down the true serial sniper.
Jack Reacher also stars Rosamund Pike, Robert Duvall, Richard Jenkins, David Oyelowo and Werner Herzog and is set for a December 21st release.
Isn’t Jack Reacher, like 6-6 or something like that? Tom Cruise is what, 5-8? Talk about reaching, Jack!
Lara Croft Takes A Beating In The First Gameplay Trailer of “Tomb Raider”
If you aren’t excited about the reboot of the Tomb Raider franchise, here’s your new reason to throw down a pre-order.
In the first gameplay trailer, Lara is looking more vulnerable than ever and is fending off death by any means necessary. The new game appears to take cues from the Uncharted series and looks to add a survival element mixed into the action.
Tomb Raider will be released March 5th, 2013, on PS3, 360 and PC.

The Piggy with the Froggy Tattoo (2011) - Parody Trailer #4
Disney and The Muppets have released their fourth parody trailer leading up to their Thanksgivings release. Following the success of their previous three parody trailers: The Fuzzy Pack, Being Green, and Green with Envy, they now bring us this aforementioned trailer. Guess which film it’s parodying?
That’s right, it’s spoofing the trailer for the upcoming American adaptation of the Swedish novel & film, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. And what a great parody trailer this is. Very meta in its concept and quite entertaining, which makes me actually want to see both The Muppets and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo even more now.

Eddie Murphy Set To Voice Hong Kong Phooey
Having been in big roles in animation films like Shrek and Mulan, Eddie Murphy is no stranger to voice acting. Now he will be taking his talents to the upcoming live-action/CGI animation film Hong Kong Phooey, voicing the title role.
Hong Kong Phooey was a Hanna-Barbara cartoon series from the 1970’s about a superhero pooch proficient in Chinese martial arts. Hong Kong Phooey was voiced by the late Scatman Crothers.
I have no issue with Murphy voicing the lead character. It’s a fine casting and I think he’ll do a good job. But for the love of cartoons, can we please, please, PLEASE quit it with these crappy hybrid live-action/animation films based off 70’s and 80’s cartoons?? Scooby Doo, Alvin and the Chipmunks, The Smurfs, Yogi Bear, Garfield, Rocky and Bullwinkle, etc. My childhood begs of you!
Who knows, maybe Hong Kong Phooey will be different. But then again, Alex Zamm, who directed such straight-to-video luminaries as Inspector Gadget 2, Dr. Doolittle: Million Dollar Mutts and Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2, is set to direct this film. Ugh.

It’s Official: All Borders Bookstores Closing!
Yes, it’s official folks! All Borders, Borders Express and Waldenbooks stores will be closing down. Five months after filing for bankruptcy, Borders will now begin liquidation sales with all books, DVDs and furniture discounted up to 40% starting TODAY (July 22, 2011).
Bad News: All sales are expected to end September, which means all 10,000+ employees nationwide will lose their jobs after liquidation. Plus local artists and musicians lose a venue that helped promote plenty of special events such as book and CD signings.
Good News: For many parents, it may be the perfect time to go back-to-school shopping for your kids. Or if you’ve been waiting to buy that DVD/manga/comic/art/design/computer/drama book, now is the time to splurge with all your available discounts.
Truth be told, if you’re a loyal customer, it’s always hard to say goodbye to a place you love. Do any of you feel the same way?
Dear Borders,
You got Amazon’d. Karma is a bitch.
