Watch Sean Bean Die (For England, James! x 21)
Embedded below, please enjoy an assortment of Sean Bean deaths set to music from the insipid Dead Island trailer.
Strung together with the music suggests a man trapped in a Groundhog’s Day sort of limbo, or perhaps it’s a work meditating on mortality.
Or it can represent how I felt sitting through Dark of the Moon.
For a complete list of films (there’s some fairly obscure/weird stuff in here), clicky here.
Oh, SPOILER ALERT by the way.
Springtime Double Feature: Super vs. Sucker Punch
Preface: This was supposed to be a review of Super, but I couldn’t help contrasting the craziness in Super with the craziness in Sucker Punch. Both James Gunn and Zack Snyder are swinging for the fences with these movies, but Gunn hits it out of the park while Snyder epically whiffs. Both movies have the distinction of being totally batshit insane, but only one of them resonates. READ MORE!

IT CHANGES COLORS
LIKE THE CHAMELEON
IT USES THE JUNGLE
Thrill as we blabber incoherently on the following:
- Inception – IMAX, speak up Ken Watanabe, is it all a dream (and does it even matter?) – spoilers ahoy
- Predators – Brodychest
- The Social Network – the evolution of David Fincher, director of the music video for Paula Abdul’s “Straight Up”
- The Room – meeting Tommy Wiseau
- M. Night Shyamalan’s Neckbeard Army
- Machete – we demand more Jeff Fahey
- Steven Seagal vs. vampires!
- the dearth of decent Nazi Zombie movies
- Zack Snyder makes a crazy owl movie
- You can’t see the eyes of the demon until him come callin
Get ‘em while they’re hot!

Review: Predators
![Predators [Photo - Twentieth Century Fox]](http://www.woogmoog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/predators_xlg-692x1024.jpg "Predators [Photo - Twentieth Century Fox]")
It’s been a rough couple of years for everyone’s favorite cloaky-snarly-stabby yakbak-utilizing alien hunter. The one-two punch of the overall horrendous Alien vs. Predator movies (AvP is watchable but terrible, and AvP: Requiem is like some sort of hate crime) while his xenomorph counterparts live it up in star-studded sequel after sequel (yes, I am kidding – no rational person feels anything positive for Alien: Resurrection).
Can Robert Rodriguez and relative newcomer Nimród Antal turn all of that around? READ MORE!
Fan-Made Expendables Trailer Wants You to Grow a Pair
Most of the time fan-made trailers and posters are utterly worthless. As much as I love the music used in Inception‘s trailers, it’s quickly replacing The Two Towers‘ rendition of Requiem for a Dream‘s main theme as the most annoyingly overused bit of music on the internet. BRRRRRMMMMM and Predator do not mix.
However, this call-to-arms trailer for The Expendables not only blows most other fan-made hokum out of the water, it also puts the film’s own shoddy marketing to shame. Good-bye CG crows and footage-less teasers, hello “get your ass to Mars” admonishing!
Turn yourself into a goddamned sexual Tyrannosaurus when The Expendables hits theaters August 13th.
UPDATE: So apparently the MPAA really does not like it when you use their green bumper things. The trailer has been re-upped here.

Review: The A-Team
![The A-Team [Photo - 20th Century Fox]](http://www.woogmoog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/ateam_wallpaper3_1024X7681.jpg "The A-Team [Photo - 20th Century Fox]")
The A-Team looked like crap. It looked like the worst kind of excessive, remake-happy Hollywood tripe. The trailer, in all of its CG-idiocy, coasted on nostalgia-bombing the audience with Mr. T references and playing the original theme song.
So it came as an enormous surprise when I walked out of the theater completely stoked. The movie is an incredibly satisfying blast. The trailers made this seem much more serious than any summer movie ought to be, which is a shame because the movie’s playful tone is pretty great. Much of this is due to director/writer Joe Carnahan’s electrifying script and sharp pacing; just as much praise needs to be heaped upon the delightful work done by the entire cast. There’s not a flat note in the entire enterprise. READ MORE!
Absolutely Gorgeous CG Deus Ex 3 Trailer
Here’s your daily reminder that E3 is coming up, along with all the requisite sexy trailers of games you won’t be playing for at least a year.
Is there a specific term for the synthy, future-y music used in Deus Ex, Mass Effect et al? Because I really can’t get enough of it.
PROS: protagonist’s fashion sense, stealth cloaky stuff, weapons and crap coming out of arms
CONS: silly newscaster’s future-victorian chic
Deus Ex: Human Revolution will be coming to PS3, 360 and PC sometime in 2011, which is incredibly depressing.

Wonderfully Violent Muppet Coffee Commercials
I can’t keep myself from getting all excited about the prospects of a new Muppet movie from Muppet-aficionado Jason Segel and Nicolas Stoller, director of Forgetting Sarah Marshall and the upcoming Get Him to the Greek. Apparently, there was a table read recently for the new movie, with all of the Muppets on hand (in Muppet form). I recently came across this series of ads done by Jim Henson with some wacky, early Muppets.
Back in the late 1950s, before The Muppet Show and all that pizzazz, there was Wilkins Coffee. In a series of short tv ads created for the coffee chain in Washington, DC, Jim Henson had two lovable little Muppets maim and torture each other Itchy and Scratchy style. They’re all great.
Check out the videos after the break. READ MORE!
