Smokin' Aces!


The movie I'm look forward to the most this month is no doubt Smokin' Aces! It has a really good cast, not to mention the movie debuts of Alica Keys and Common. Heres a quick synopsis of the movie:

In these interlocking tales of high stakes and low lifes, Mob boss Primo Sparazza has taken out a hefty contract on Buddy "Aces" Israel (Piven)--a sleazy magician who has agreed to turn state's evidence against the Vegas mob. The FBI, sensing a chance to use this small-time con to bring down big-target Sparazza, places Aces into protective custody-under the supervision of two agents (Reynolds and Liotta) dispatched to Aces' Lake Tahoe hideout. When word of the price on Aces' head spreads into the community of ex-cons and cons-to-be, it entices bounty hunters, thugs-for-hire, smokin' hot vixens and double-crossing mobsters to join in the hunt. With all eyes on Tahoe, this rogues' gallery collides in a comic race to hit the jackpot and rub out Aces.

Yesterday they released 6 comics with each one giving background on a different character. You can find the links to the comics here. You can also check out the trailer there too.

I wanna know what you think about it and if your gonna go see it. The movie comes out January 26.

That Doug Jones is poppin' up everywhere these days! This time, iFMagazine caught up with the man behind the movements of Abe Sapien and The Silver Surfer and he revealed a bit more about both sequels. Here's a clip:

According to Jones there will be some new things to look for in the second Hellboy movie, "You can expect more from Abe Sapien, you can expect a larger role from the first one, you can expect him to maybe wield a weapon, you can expect him to show you a style of fighting in hands on with bad guys that you’ve never seen or heard of before."

Chapdelaine Talks Alien vs. Predator 2

AvPGalaxy has interviewed Morris Chapdelaine, one of the puppeteers on Alien vs. Predator 2, who gives lots of new info about the creatures and action scenes. Here's a clip:

AvPGalaxy - What was your favourite scene in AvP2 to work on?

Morris Chapdelaine - There were a lot of favourite scenes but I have to say that the battle on the rooftop was amazing! We worked on it for over 2 weeks and it was brilliant not only because of the sheer number of creatures involved, but because of the tense nature of the sequence and the choreography of the fighting. There is some stuff that has never been seen before- weapons, gadgets and hand to hand combat that is sure to pique everyone's interest.


Check out the full interview at the link above! "AVP2" is currently scheduled for a December 21 release.
