    "Pitch Perfect" Poster Collage

    Beca (Anna Kendrick) is that girl who’d rather listen to what’s coming out of her headphones than what’s coming out of you.  Arriving at her new college, she finds herself not right for any clique but somehow is muscled into one that she never would have picked on her own: alongside mean girls, sweet girls and weird girls whose only thing in common is how good they sound when they sing together, in the new out-loud comedyPitch Perfect.

    When Beca takes this acoustic singing group out of their world of traditional arrangements and perfect harmonies into all-new mash-ups, they fight to climb their way to the top of the cutthroat world of college a cappella.  This could wind up either the coolest thing they’ll ever do or the most insane, and it will probably be a little of both.

    Loaded with new takes on old favorites to hits of right now that are seamlessly mixed together, mashed-up and arranged like you’ve never heard before, Pitch Perfect is directed by Jason Moore, who opened our eyes to the very misbehaved life of puppets in the surprise Broadway sensation Avenue Q.

    "The Big Wedding" First Poster & Trailer For The Big Wedding  

    With an all-star cast lead by Diane Keaton, Robert De Niro, Susan Sarandon, Robin Williams, Katherine Heigl, Amanda Seyfried and Topher Grace, THE BIG WEDDING is an uproarious romantic comedy about a charmingly modern family trying to survive a weekend wedding celebration that has the potential to become a full blown family fiasco. To the amusement of their adult children and friends, long divorced couple Don and Ellie Griffin (De Niro and Keaton) are once again forced to play the happy couple for the sake of their adopted son’s wedding after his ultra conservative biological mother unexpectedly decides to fly halfway across the world to attend. With all of the wedding guests looking on, the Griffins are hilariously forced to confront their past, present and future – and hopefully avoid killing each other in the process.

    "The Words" Trailer

    Starring Bradley Cooper, Oscar®-winner Jeremy Irons, Dennis Quaid, Olivia Wilde and Zoë Saldana, the layered romantic drama The Words follows young writer Rory Jansen who finally achieves long sought after literary success after publishing the next great American novel. There’s only one catch – he didn’t write it.  As the past comes back to haunt him and his literary star continues to rise, Jansen is forced to confront the steep price that must be paid for stealing another man’s work, and for placing ambition and success above life’s most fundamental three words.

    New Clip From "The Campaign"

    When long-term congressman Cam Brady (Will Ferrell) commits a major public gaffe before an upcoming election, a pair of ultra-wealthy CEOs plot to put up a rival candidate and gain influence over their North Carolina district. Their man: naïve Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis), director of the local Tourism Center. At first, Marty appears to be the unlikeliest possible choice but, with the help of his new benefactors’ support, a cutthroat campaign manager and his family’s political connections, he soon becomes a contender who gives the charismatic Cam plenty to worry about. As Election Day closes in, the two are locked in a dead heat, with insults quickly escalating to injury until all they care about is burying each other, in this mud-slinging, back-stabbing, home-wrecking comedy from “Meet the Parents” director Jay Roach that takes today’s political circus to its logical next level. Because even when you think campaign ethics have hit rock bottom, there’s room to dig a whole lot deeper.

    The "Paranormal Activity 4" Trailer, Finally!

    After teasing the Paranormal Activity 4 trailer for days the trailer is FINALLY here, and I have to say it delivers. Looking forward to being scared out of my mind in a dark theater.

    Like the previous films before it, Paramount Pictures is running a contest to allow the fans to bring the movie to their city first, this time it involves 25 cities across the world. Trailer courtesy of ComingSoon.Net and press release below.

    Fans of "PARANORMAL ACTIVITY" are being empowered to bring the movie to their city first.  Paramount Pictures, a division of Viacom, Inc., will debut the fourth installment in the popular horror franchise exclusively in 25 cities around the world by encouraging fans to vote to see it first with a new "Want It" application on Facebook.

    Facebook's 955 million global fans can vote for an advance screening in their city by clicking on the "Want It" button on the film's fan page at www.Facebook.com/ParanormalActivity.
    "Want It" is a dynamic application utilizing Facebook's open graph technology that gives fans the opportunity to vote to bring the franchise to their city and leverage their social networks to ensure they are one of the top 25 winning locations.  The application recognizes a fan's geo-location according to their Facebook profile and automatically registers a vote to bring the film to their city first.  Votes will be shared on a fan's page and automatically posted to the Facebook newsfeed to rally their peers to bring the film to their city first too. 
     
    The application feeds individual votes into a dynamic leader board that shows the ranking of every city in real time.  Audiences can track the top cities as well as the ranking of their own city as well as push out reminders encouraging friends to vote.  "Want It" brings an unprecedented level of interactivity for fans in determining screenings of the movie.   
     
    "There's a very special connection between 'PARANORMAL ACTIVITY' and Facebook," said Matt Jacobson, head of market development at Facebook. "Four years after the initial success of the franchise and the establishment of a passionate fan community, we're excited to see continued iteration on a franchise that was born on Facebook. Paramount is using both the Facebook platform and media to drive awareness of the film, three months out, and we will continue to drive awareness and intent at scale as we approach opening weekend in October." 
     
    "The success of 'PARANORMAL ACTIVITY' began with the fans who have championed the movie franchise from the very beginning through social media," said Amy Powell, Executive Vice President of Interactive Marketing. "Now we're creating an even more dynamic experience among the film's community of fans and for the first time, we're giving them an opportunity to go head-to-head on Facebook with fans around the world to determine the 25 cities who get to see 'PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 4' before it opens."
     
    Fans can also vote at the film's website, www.ParanormalMovie.com.
     
    The 25 cities that receive the most votes will win a free screening of the eagerly awaited film before it hits theaters October 19, 2012.
     
    "PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 4" is directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman.

    "The Avengers" Blu-ray/DVD 'Working Together" Clip

    Say whatever the hell you want about The Avengers but it was really entertaining. Sure the pacing was off and some of the dialogue was amateur, but I enjoyed it so much more than I could have imagined. The characters really meshed well together, the action was mind bending, and there was actually a lot of heart.

    In anticipation for The Avengers DVD/Blu-ray, which will be released on September 25th, Marvel has released five clips from the film. Below is my favorite one, showing off all of the heroes in action

    Olympic Inspired "ParaNorman" TV Spot

    Some of the Olympic crossover commercials are fairly lame. I could have sworn I saw a Burger King one with giant eleventeen thousand ounce cups filled with soda wearing USA Olympic Basketball shirts or something. It might have been a bad dream.

    The ParaNorman TV spot works though. A corpse going all out gymnast on a horse like a champion. Yeah, that works for me.

    "Paranormal Activity 4" Continues To Tease The Trailer

    This has become some kind of epidemic. First Peter Jackson and The Brothers Warner decide that splitting a rather small book into not two films, but three, is a good idea. Then we're getting three separate teasers, not for a movie, not for a movie, for a trailer. I think the Mayans were right, the world is coming to an end.

    After dropping a teaser of the upcoming trailer earlier in the week, Paramount Pictures has released two more teasers for Paranormal Activity 4. All of my annoying ranting aside, I came in late to the party on this series, but I do love me some Paranormal. Check out the two teasers below.

    New "Total Recall" International TV Spot

    “Total Recall” is an action thriller about reality and memory, inspired anew by the famous short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” by Philip K. Dick. Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), even though he’s got a beautiful wife (Kate Beckinsale) who he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vaction from his frustrating life – real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man. Finding himself on the run from the police – controlled by Chancellor Cohaagen (Bryan Cranston), the leader of the free world – Quaid teams up with a rebel fighter (Jessica Biel) to find the head of the underground resistance (Bill Nighy) and stop Cohaagen. The line between fantasy and reality gets blurred and the fate of his world hangs in the balance as Quaid discovers his true identity, his true love, and his true fate.

    "Taken 2" Trailer

    I was satisfied when I left the theater after seeing Taken. I had no want or need to see the expansion of this universe, it's characters were left in a comfortable place. I guess success can sometimes change things. The movie did so well that the studio wanted to launch a sequel to the surprise hit.

    I'm a more of a "leave well enough alone", kind of guy, but upon viewing the trailer there looks to be plenty of badassery left in Liam Neeson's arsenal even if his daughter is tagging along this time.

    Liam Neeson returns as Bryan Mills, the retired CIA agent with a particular set of skills who stopped at nothing to save his daughter Kim (Grace) from Albanian kidnappers. When the father of one of the kidnappers swears revenge, and takes Bryan and his wife hostage during their family vacation in Istanbul, Bryan enlists Kim to help them escape, and uses the same advanced level of special forces tactics to get his family to safety and systematically take out the kidnappers one by one.
