The trailer for an upcoming crime thriller called Only God Forgives has come and it looks intense!
The movie stars the sexy Ryan Gosling as Julian, a former kickboxer turned drug-smuggler who is currently living in Bangkok and seeking revenge after his brother was murdered. It’s actually his mother who is insisting that he finds and kills the person responsible for his brother’s death. His mother is played by the fabulous Kristin Scott Thomas and I don’t think I’ve ever seen her as intimidating and feisty as in this trailer… and she’s almost always intimidating and feisty in her roles!
The filmed debuted at the Cannes Film Festival to mixed reviews. People seemed to either really love it, or totally hate it. Either way, the trailer was effective at piquing my interest so I’ll definitely watch the movie and determine my own opinion. The film opens in theaters on July 19. Check out the trailer below!

Based on the memoir of the same name, The Wolf of Wall Street is a true story about Jordan Belfort. The Gordon Gekko-idolizing figure presided over a brokerage firm that operated as a boiler room which cheated investors for $200 million. He spent 22 months in jail after confessing to money-laundering and securities fraud. The film revolves on Belfort’s hard partying ways which includes, believe it or not, throwing dwarves, sinking yachts and romancing models.
Leonardo DiCaprio once again reunites with director Martin Scorsese. The 38-year-old actor is joined in the flick by a star-studded cast including Jonah Hill, Matthew McConaughey,Jon Bernthal, Kyle Chandler, Margot Robbie, Cristin Milioti, and Jean Dujardin. Check out the first trailer for the flick below.
If you’re jaw is still on the theater floor due to Henry Cavill’s shirtless scenes in Man of Steel, then you’ll definitely appreciate this. The 30-year-old shares his experience training with Mark Twight, as he made his own personal transformation to portraying the iconic superhero. In between scenes of Cavill pumping iron, he weighs in on the value of pushing yourself over the limit and being selflessly dedicated to building a stronger mind and body.
Watching the clip slightly inspires me to push my own personal limits at the gym. I’m definitely guilty of letting my mind psych myself out. Check out Henry flexing his muscles in all his shirtless glory in the National Guard’s SoldierofSteel.com video below.
Let’s just get the important stuff out first: the guys in this movie are HOT. Not Abercrombie/Details magazine perfectly ripped hot, but straight guys who “probably would if they were drunk enough cause they seem pretty cool with it” disheveled and cute as hell hot. Just right, thank you very much for coming out Chase Williamson and Rob Mayes ;)
John Dies at the End is a… lord, how do I even describe this one? It’s a cross between The Matrix, A Scanner Darkly, Chronicle, Men in Black, Bill and Ted and a whole lot of other movies. It’s sci fi, horror, indie, comedy and it’s WEIRD. But, it’s good weird- and, like I said before, kind of sexy weird. Basically, the movie follows two burn out best friends who turn into pseudo ghost buster/super heroes with semi psychic, time bending and super sensory powers due to a liquid they imbibe code named “soy sauce”. They are granted the ability to see ghosts, monsters and people from other dimensions that we lay people only ever catch a glimpse of in the corner of our eye. In doing so, they work to save the Earth from an evil invasion of half naked pig looking people. Honestly, I watched the movie a week ago so the deets might not be DEAD on but you’re gonna watch this one stoned anyway so you won’t be writing me with corrections. It’s only about an hour and a half long and does have funny and CGI action moments that make it worth a watch… did I mention there’s two hot guys in it?

This was the big one folks, the big super hero movie of the year. Sure we had Iron Man 3 and we’re getting Thor 2 but DC had this one last shot to make a good Superman movie, and they totally succeeded.
With the mega success of the Marvel Movie universe, DC had to really show up to the party with all their new toys to make an impact. Lately the DC movies have not been the greatest (Green Lantern) or they have been completely missing (Why haven’t we gotten a Wonder Woman?), and with Marvel kicking ass well the pressure is definitely on. *** NOTE *** I am going to keep this as spoiler free as I can k?

Miss shirtless buff soldiers beating each other to a bloody death in slow motion since Spartacus signed off forever? You’re in luck. Zack Synder is finally releasing a sequel to his 2006 hit 300. Unfortunately, the following trailer will have to tide you over until 300: Rise of an Empire hits theaters in March 2014. The cruelty of it all.
Rodrigo Santoro helms the sequel based on Frank Miller’s latest graphic novel Xerxes. This new chapter takes the action to a fresh battlefield—on the sea— as Greek general Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) attempts to unite all of Greece by leading the charge that will change the course of the war. 300: Rise of an Empire pits Themistokles against the massive invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes (Santoro), and Artemesia (Eva Green), vengeful commander of the Persian navy. Check out the first trailer below.

“The legend is never the whole story.” Amen to that and thankfully for an upcoming biopic, we’ll know more of the story. Hopefully in a sensationalized way. As you know, I love me a scandalous biopic.
The first teaser trailer for the highly-anticipated Diana just dropped. Oscar nominee Naomi Watts plays the titular princess. Obviously, there have been other films about the “people’s princess.” This one stands out due to its focus on her relationships with heart surgeon Dr. Hasnat Khan (Naveen Andrews) and Dodi Fayed (Cas Anvar). Khan was allegedly her lover she used to smuggle into Kensington Palace in the trunk of her butler’s car. Fayed as you all know was her boyfriend she died with that fateful night in Paris in 1997.
Oliver Hirschbiegel directs the film and will premiere in the UK on September 5. It will arrive in North American theaters after that with no specific date solidified just yet. Check out the trailer below.
