So first up there is a brand new shiny Avengers trailer: I haven’t been quite as stoked for a film as i am right now since I saw that trailer!
There’s a pretty awesome viral video going round of a representative of Weyland Yutani giving a corporate speech for Prometheus And if you look closely at 0:05 you can see one James Camerons Avatar helicopter things in the background.
There are some pretty sweet behind the scenes pics of the new Riddick Movie floating about upon the net, here is just one

The Dark Knight Rises.

Fuck. Yes.

Here it is
I don’t really think I have to write spoiler alert do I?

Enjoy Cadets

DISMISSED!!

I’ve been ‘Dredding’ doing this update…


See what I did there???
How freaking clever am I!?
The title is relevant because a whole load of Judge Dredd stills just got released, looking good.

I'll be bahk! Wait..wrong movie...

So as far as I’m aware it’s going to be a more serious, violent, gory take on the whole thing, but Dredd is such a silly concept, that I don’t think anyone can ever make it work…
But well done to them for trying. Here is the full, official synopsis for the reboot:

DREDD takes us to the wild streets of Mega City One, the lone oasis of quasi-civilization on Cursed Earth. Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) is the most feared of elite Street Judges, with the power to enforce the law, sentence offenders and execute them on the spot – if necessary. The endlessly inventive mind of writer Alex Garland and the frenetic vision of director Peter Travis bring DREDD to life as a futuristic neo-noir action film that returns the celebrated character to the dark, visceral incarnation from John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra’s revered comic strip.

So the new Spiderman trailer is out, and it looks….Yeah….I never cared for Spiderman and don’t particularly care for this incarnation, with everything looking the same as the last lot except the guy playing Spiderman

Even the Girl playing Mary Jane looks just like the last one…
That’s about it for today, that and more rumors circulating about a sequel to Blade Runner, which Harrison Ford is reportedly stating he wants nothing to do with! Oh noes! *GEEKCRY*

Right, I’m off!

Dismissed Cadets!!

What’s that? An update you say? IMPOSSIBLE!


Hey, so I’m so sorry that the site hasn’t been updated a lot but thanks for bearing with us & I shall strive to update as often as I can! Right then cadets, let’s get right to it!! I’ll skip all the Prometheus stuff,as you all know it, it looks FANFUCKINGTASTIC and I for one can NOT wait!! The sooner it’s released the happier I am going to be!!

Right we got Finding Nemo in 3D, yay! Such a cool film, gonna be great to revisit it, but Disney, if you’re listening, no more, Ok?? Seriously, enough is enough…

The CREATOR of DEADPOOL (I like caps today) has stated that he has seen 8 minutes worth of Deadpool movie footage & he says its really R-rated and stupidly cool, so it’s Deadpool approved! Thank the lord!
I’m not a Steve carrel fan, or Jim Carrey fan for that matter but a photo has been released of him in some new movie about two magicians that are competing against each other, it looks unfunny and dumb.

Stupid Hippies...

So as well as that a new Photo has been released to get interest in the up & coming James Bond film, I don’t know which audience they’re trying to attract, but it’s just Daniel Craig sitting by a pool, topless…

Um....

The movie is also called ‘Skyfall’ for those interested…

That’s all for today Cadets, DISMISSED!…

Breaking news: The public WINS


footage of Shia Labouff getting his ass kicked has been online for a day or two now, in Vancouver, it’s the tail end of the fight, but Yanks keep describing it as ‘brutal’, plus he is saved by a dude on crutches…


(Footage from TMZ)

People have speculated that it could be becuase he keeps chrning out god awful sequels and shitty movies…
I, however, am better than that and am not going to mention Indiana Jones: The kingdom of the Crystal Skull and how god fucking awful it is, being the good person that I am

To be fair to him, he does look pissed and is held back a lot by his firends

HOLY HELL AN UPDATE!!


I know, right?

Your all like: WTF? An update!????? Yes, yes it is, so let’s not fanny around eh?

Getting right down too it, I wanted to first off say that I have had a look round the site and their has been a high level of traffic and comments, despite the lack of updates, so I wanted to say a personal thanks you YOU! Yes, YOU! ALL OF YOU!!

So, Brutal Truth is on the stereo, and let’s get down to the Brutal Truth, Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman costume, we expected this:

Yes please... ;)

And what we got was this….

Oooh....

I’m not saying it’s bad, I’m just a little disappointing, I know everything’s supposed to be more ‘realistic’ in Nolan’s interpretation, and skintight rubber isn’t exactly bullet proof, but, no head-mask? 6″ stilletoes….

Real realistic…

Rumors are abundant that Hasbro wants to make another TWO Transformers, with Jason Statham…, that’s gonna happen, for sure…

Horror movie fans can ‘rejoice’ as Hostel 3 goes straight to DVD, and has NOTHING to do with the previous Hostel films, aside from giving Roth a small writing credit or something, I dunno, it looks weird mostly, whatever Yay….

Here is the trailer for the movie thats ‘attempting’ to breathe life into the American pie franchise, and admittedly the original American Pie was the best, so it was a genius stroke to get the WHOLE ORIGINAL CAST back together!! and the trailer seems quite funny too, if Gross out humor is your kind of thing

A good day to Die Hard, or to you and me, Die hard 5 will be set in Russia with (I’m assuming) Bruce Willis saving his kid from terrorists, comes out on Valentines day 2013, can anyone say ‘Taken’?

****SPOILERS AHEAD****

Speaking of Taken, Taken 2 has been revealed to be released on Columbus day 2012 (whatever the hell that is?) in America I’m guessing, the plot revolves around Liam Neeson & his family being taken hostage in Istanbul (who the hell holidays there) & Liam using his ‘skills’ to get them the hell out of there I guess, predictable, but fun

****SPOILER END****

Ok Cadets, that’s all from me, the film Lieutenant, thanks once again fro keeping the place running and hopefully there will be many more updates coming your way!!

Cadets: Dismissed!
