Back at the Movies

Here are a few more movies you’ll want to watch this year.

Smokin’ Aces (Trailer)

When a Las Vegas performer-turned-snitch named Buddy Israel (Piven) decides to turn state’s evidence and testify against the mob, it seems that a whole lot of people would like to make sure he’s no longer breathing.

This movie’s plot - and trailer - is so filled with big guns, big explosions and bad catch phrases that you’d be stupid not to see it. Features a lot of familiar faces like Ben Affleck, Andy Garcia and Ray Liotta. Alicia Keys can be found in the cast, not sure if that is a good or a bad thing yet.

Grindhouse (Trailer)

Two movies in one - the first by Robert Rodriguez and the second by Quentin Tarantino. Is your hearth beating faster yet? It should. Judging by the trailer, the style of both movies is just like we’re familiar with from classics like Reservoir Dogs and From Dusk Till Dawn. Tarantino also has a role in this - just like he should when he’s directing.

Live Fee or Die Hard (Trailer)

It’s Die Hard 4! I would not rule out the possibility that this movie will turn out to be a piece of crap, but being a fan of the first three I must say that this is a must-see this year. It’s been twelve years since Bruce Willis did Die Hard: With a Vengeance, and the guy is getting old - but if Sylvester Stallone, so can Mr. Willis.

Spider-Man 3 (Trailer)

I’ll admit it without even blinking - the first two Spider-Man movies kicked movie butt. Perhaps not movies that will be remember for a long time, but as a cartoon moved to the big screen it really works. Now, number three is on it’s its way:

A strange black entity from another world bonds with Peter Parker and causes inner turmoil as he contends with new villains, temptations, and revenge.

Ooooooh….
