The Trailer for Adam Green’s Frozen will give you the chills

I’ve been quietly following Adam Green’s suspense/horror/thriller Frozen with anticipation.  Now we finally have a trailer and I’m hooked.

Plot Synopsis:

A typical day on the slopes turns into a chilling nightmare for three snowboarders when they get stranded on the chairlift before their last run. As the ski patrol switches off the night lights, they realize with growing panic that they’ve been left behind dangling high off the ground with no way down.

With the resort closed until the following weekend and frostbite and hypothermia already setting in, the trio is forced to take desperate measures to escape off the mountain before they freeze to death. Once they make their move, they discover with horror that they have much more to fear than just the frigid cold. As they combat unexpected obstacles, they start to question if their will to survive is strong enough to overcome the worst ways to die?

“Kick-Ass” Red Band Trailer featuring 11 Year Old Assassin: Hit Girl. (NSFW)

In a bold move, Lionsgate has released an R-Rated trailer for Matthew Vaughn‘s highly anticipated comic book flick, Kick-Ass.  This trailer features 11 year old assassin, Hit Girl doing what she does best: killing the shit out of bad guys.

If you’re easily offended, skip this trailer.  However, in context with the plot and character, this trailer works and really gets me excited for Kick-Ass!

DVD/Blu-ray Releases for 12/22/2009

Buying movies is almost a dangerous obession with me. I love it, and probably have spent more money on movies in my lifetime than any sane person. At least I’m not spending money on heroine.

New Movie Tuesday is my favorite day of the week. Here are this week’s releases as well as my recommendations.

Being the film snob I am, I will recommend the Blu Ray versions of these flicks if available.

MUST BUY

District 9

This is the best original Sci-Fi movie in the past 10 years.  Exciting, full of ideas and wholly original.  Read my review HERE.  If you’re a fan of good Sci-Fi or good movies in general, you should buy this movie! (Buy on Amazon, Rent on Netflix)

Weaponized Baby Carriage? Yes, please!!

Were you planning on having kids during the impending Zombie Apolcalypse? Or are you thinking of procreating in order to save the near extinct and enslaved human race after our planet has been overrun by Aliens who resemble giant grasshoppers?

Well, then you should probably invest in Shi Jinsong’s Gun Shape Baby Carriage. I know I would!

Movie Trailer: Clash of the Titans (#2)

The movie trailers for Louis Leterrier’s remake of Clash of the Titans are looking pretty kick ass. Although, the music may be heightening the kick-ass-ness (as noticed by ScreenRant‘s Vic Holtreman/@screenrant in a recent tweet). Not sure how I feel about Sam Worthington’s 3rd film with a buzz cut. Seriously, in ancient Greece did they have clippers?

At any rate, Medusa looks cool and the Kraken is pretty mind blowing too. The effects look great, we’ll see if all the prettiness can hold up to the plot.

Clash of the Titans stars Sam Worthington, Mads Mikkelsen, Gemma Arterton, Alexa Davalos, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, Izabella Miko and Danny Huston.  It will be in theaters on March 26, 2010.
