Some movies I think you should check out...

Before part II of Netflixorama comes to fruition, I've been checking out some trailers again for films I can't wait to see. Not sure if all of you have seen these, so I'll take it as me being your dealer of filmy goodness.




Ahhh Chocolate. I can't wait for this film. Kick ass fights, an autistic girl who loves candy and martial arts and stunts gone horrible wrong. From the director of Ong Bak, so story doesn't matter. The choreography matters more in this case.



Bronson. The film I can't wait for, probably more than any other. A new version of A Clockwork Orange might be in our midst, and it seems they didn't try too hard to attain that. Tom Hardy looks absolutely bat shit crazy in the title role and I see he's bulked up a bit since Star Trek Nemesis.



And finally the film I'm so dying to see and was elated last night that Sony just bought the distribution rights to the film. I speak of Black Dynamite, the film that might finally make Michael Jai White the star I've always fashioned him as. People probably recognize him most now as one of the crime bosses in The Dark Knight. I knew him as Mike Tyson in a pretty good TV movie, Spawn himself in a terrible movie and as a great deleted scene in Kill Bill Volume II. Check it out if you haven't seen it.

There's a trio of films, two of which are officially coming out this year. I'll scour the interweb to see if there's any more trailers I think you people should check out.

Thank you Sir James from saving me from my hopeless despair.
Movies have been absolutely dry for me these days and you gave me two possible gems to drool over.

I'm truly looking forward to seeing Tommy Davidson's performance as "Cream Corn". He plays a black man very well:

There are a number of winners in that cast but I will go into that in-depth on a post of my own... ;)

Where did this guy, Tom Hardy, come from? i love it when actors find their break out roles like he did with Bronson

It's funny. The first time I saw Hardy, it was in Layer Cake where he played Clarkie. Didn't think much of him. Then I didn't even realize he was the main villain in the last Star Trek movie, Nemesis.

Then I saw him in RockNRolla and thought he was great... but when I saw this trailer, I had to look back and go, "Wait a second. That's the same guy? Holy shit, he looks bat shit crazy."
