Official World War Z Trailer

This movie has been troubled by problems all throughout production, but it looks like it's finally going to be released this coming summer. While it is named after the book by zombie expert Max Brooks, it seemingly bares no other resemblance to Brooks' work, especially since these seem to be the fast 28 Days Later type zombies rather than the slow Night of the Living Dead type zombies Brooks prefers. Any way, it still looks pretty cool and Brad Pitt is in it, so how bad can it actually be? 

Birdemic 2 Has a Trailer

Created on a budget of $10,000, Birdemic: Shock and Terror looked like a film that was created on a budget of $5,000 (read my review of it here). But thanks to the Internet’s love of the strange and insane, producer and director James Nguyen’s homage to Alfred Hitchcock and global warming earned almost instant cult classic status and has been wildly celebrated for its poor film quality, terrible acting, and all-around hilarious charm.

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Nguyen and Co. wanted to double down on that success, so of course they filmed Birdemic 2: The Resurrection. Filming wrapped in the Spring on this non-Hollywood tale of Hollywood dreams, and release is slated for later this summer. As for the plot…

Bill is a struggling filmmaker; Gloria is an aspiring actress. Rod, a Silicon Valley millionaire finances Bill’s film, a dream come true until eagles and vultures attack Hollywood and its up to Rod, his girlfriend Nathalie, new friends and old to mount the resistance. Who will survive?
Birdemic II, you asked for it.

I suppose we did kind of ask for it. And now Birdemic 2 has a trailer as well, which playfully mocks one of the after-credit scenes of Marvel’s The Avengers. Someone was bound to do it, we’re just glad it was Nguyen.

Trailer for Paul Blart: Mixed Martial Farts

From the makers of Paul Blart: Mall Cop and Paul Blart: Zookeeper (or just Zookeeper, but we all know the truth), come Paul Blart: Mixed Martial Farts. Some snoots over at “Sony Pictures” or “IMDb” might tell you that this latest film produced by Happy Madison stars someone called “Kevin James,” and is titled “Here Comes the Boom.” But you and I both know that’s not true. This is actually part of the ever-popular “Paul Blart” series, with this particular title being “Paul Blart: Mixed Martial Farts.” Anyway, this is it. The movie we’ve all been waiting for. You can watch the trailer below, but I warn you, there’s not a single fart, groin shot, or record scratch. Not even a scene where Paul Blart cries because he can’t have pie while he’s cutting weight. Man, even when I’m expecting the worst, Kevin James, Allan Loeb, and Happy Madison still manage to disappoint.

If you’re an MMA aficionado you may notice cameos from MMA fighters and related figures, including:

• Bas Rutten
• Vinny Magalaes
• Krzysztof Soszynski (God, that guy is a spell check’s nightmare)
• Brian Stann
• Mark Delagrotte (along with a giant Team Sityudong banner – very Thai name for a team that seems to consist exclusively of extremely white dudes from Boston)
• Mayhem Miller
• Joe Rogan
• Salma “Heavy Bags” Hayek

And of course, 12th degree capoeira black belt Henry Winkler. That’s an awful lot of people from the MMA world participating in a movie whose message seems to be that any fat loser can do it (he wrestled in high school! Probably would’ve been all-state if he hadn’t blown out his knee and turned down a scholarship to take care of his sick mom!). Paul Blart even knocks out Mayhem with an overhand right at the end. I wonder if Peter Berg taught him that.

New Avengers Trailer

Nothing really new to see here. Although I still don't quite understand what Hawkeye and Black Widow are bringing to the group that the other members can't already do themselves. The world is under attack by what appear to be Transformers, or maybe their the aliens from Battleship (who can tell anymore?)! Call the guy with the outdated weaponry and the chick with the big tits who has a 9 millimeter and knows jiu-jitsu! What does it matter? We're all going to go see this anyway, because explosions.
