So yeah the new Spider-man trailer looks slightly better that what I was expecting, if looks leaps better than Raimi’s shlock that’s for sure. I still don’t like the costume, you know the one Peter Parker made from a bunch of deflated basketballs? The Lizard looks ok so far, from what I can tell he’s either largely CG or entirely which doesn’t excite me the least. In fact most of the action sequences I have seen so far look like a video game. Garfield looks pretty good as Parker and it seems the story should at least be good upon first viewing. Oh yeah and kudos to them giving him his self invented web shooters!

I have to say though I would have loved for Marvel to bring a new super hero to life, perhaps Moon Knight, Doctor Strange, The Black Panther or Iron Fist even. Just personally kinda still not over the last three Spidey movies fully. So here we go again already, I will definitely be seeing this in the theaters but honestly I’m not totally stoked on the idea.

I am excited for The Avengers movie, mostly because of Whedon’s involvement, hoping that perhaps he brings us the memorable movie I have always dreamnt of. Lastly I really would like to see some smaller scale superhero movies made, something gritty and more real world feeling. Not real world as in realistic but rather something that doesn’t feel like a bunch of people in front of a green screen the entire movie. Something inventive, with feeling that really transplants you into the pages of a comic book…

Anyway I haven’t been able to find too much more info about this film but it looks great. I also heard finally that Michael Bay is rebooting the TMNT franchise?! Uggh please nooooo! That hack will yet ruin another one of my childhood favorites with his wretched CG ridden summer slop-buster mentality!

If we get a new Turtles film it had better be dark and gritty like the original series! In the meantime I’ll take this fan made version over any pile of steaming shit Bay tries to serve me!

Well my double feature started out pretty good with 1994′s Brainscan, starring Edward Furlong. This one turned out to be a pretty fun little movie where Furlong orders a new state of the art interactive “video game” from Fangoria magazine and it ends up subliminally turning him into a vicious killer. It also introduces one of the lameest movie monster villains I’ve seen in quite some time, the amazingly not scary at all “Trickster”.

This jerk off is about on par with The Wishmaster if you get my drift. Still it was a decent movie despite some really shitty 1994 CG.

The next movie however was the real deal, Sean “Friday the 13th” Cunningham’s movie “The New Kids” was a real treat all the way back from 1985.

I always ask myself why the hell did I first see this in 2012?! Well as I also have said before there’s nothing quite as satisfying as seeing a rad 80′s movie for the first time so late in the game. This one was like a much darker version of “The Karate Kid” which unfortunately came first, as I at first suspected that perhaps it was a rip off of The New Kids.

Anyway what we got here is one hell of a fun movie, with one of the corniest opening scenes I’ve ever seen. The movie follows two teenage siblings (Abby & Loren), who having been raised as bad asses on a military base lose their parents in a car crash. Soon thereafter their zany Aunt & Uncle invite them to live with them down in Florida where they run a cool little amusement park. I mean really how rad would that be?! I mean if your parents are both going to pass away at least you get to live some place totally awesome like in an amusment park?!

Well now unfortunately luck is still not on the brother and sister’s side when they head off to the local high school and meet a bunch of deranged red necks lead by a criminally insane James Spader!!!

Yeah Johnny from the Karate Kid has got nothin’ on this dude! Spader’s character “Eddie Dutra” sets his pervy eyes on Abby and simply won’t take no for an answer. When he gets rejected in a very comically awkward “gas station” scene he decides to make both their lives a living hell. He and his asinine hillbilly buddies go on a rampage, trashing the amusement park, keying their uncles fancy classic car, kicking Loren’s ass in the bathroom, finally kidnapping Abby, trying to rape her, set her on fire with gasoline and having their vicious pitbull attack her! Yeah Spader is pretty funny and quite awesome as the villain in this one. However one thing they didn’t suspect was that these two kids are total bad asses and were trained by their father while on the military base! That’s where the fun starts at the final showdown at of course……the amusement park!! I gotta say it’s a good one too and let’s just say those douche bags get what’s coming to them, still the movie somehow finds a way to wrap things up on a sunny 80′s style note and even leaves it open for a sequel! Check this out if you’re craving a totally rad 1980′s teenage revenge flick! It won’t disappoint!

Well none other than Chuck Norris!!! Supposedly he signed on to the movie only if it would be “kid friendly”. He is opposed apparently to any foul language or cursing that could offend children. Well I don’t need to hear everyone cursing every five seconds, that’s not what worries me-it honestly the gore level that concerns me-I mean did you all see the last Rambo movie?! Now that was one crazy comically gory action movie-Sly delivered the goods. The Expendables was pretty damn over the top too-but with this movie Sly promised it’d be the comically violent, over the top, dumb, one liner action flick everyone was hoping for from the start. Unfortunately Norris had to go and get all Walker Texas Ranger on us all with The Expendables 2….hmmm… well now actually that could end up being pretty damn fun. We’ll see I guess but one thing I never thought was that the sequel was going to go soft on us…In the end this could be more what The Expendables 2 end up playing out as!

Well people here we get a new look at what Raimi was considering for the look of the Green Goblin, this design was done by ADI and Sam is actually directing the actor in this clip. I don’t know about you but to me this IS the Green Goblin-however to Sam I guess he liked the Power Ranger idea-then again this is the guy who made Spider-man 3 so this isn’t suprising….

Of course you guessed it this movie was produced by Charles Band! Never has the idea of intergallactic monster boxing sounded so awesome! I am on the hunt ofr this one but of course it’s nowhere to be found on Ebay or Amazon. I am sure you can find some downloads online but another cool place to get crazy rare movies on dvd is Ioffer.com check that out too!

Following the stories of the actual stars and the crazy locations they shot these films at with a shoe string budget, Machete Maidens looks like the film for all of us Grindhouse fanatics. It looks like they have some cool commentary from the likes of Joe Dante one of my all time faves and Roger Corman. Check out this trailer is doesn’t get any better than this!

Madness ensues and without spoiling the whole movie I will say this, it’s got some great goofy 80′s adventure along the lines of Weird Science or the Goonies. It’s got Dennis Hopper playing the washed out hippie science teacher, crazy neanderthals and an over the top annoying side kick teenage buddy along the lines of Evil Ed from Fright Night. It’s also got cute nerd girls and lots of great 80′s electricity that I love so much. So if you’re a dork for the 80′s check out this one it’s about as perfect as they come, as long as you don’t take it too seriously…..

However for me personally I am a bigger fan of Julie Newmar from the original series!!
