Fido - Film, Movie - Trailer



Plot: alternate universe where domesticated zombies play a functional role in society by delivering the milk, carrying the mail, and even helping out with household chores, one boy is about to find out just how big of a personal responsibility "pet" ownership truly is. When the Earth passed through a cloud of space dust and the dead arose from their graves to devour the flesh of the living, it first seemed that all hope for humanity was lost. Society's rapid slide into chaos, however, was soon halted when scientists at a company called ZomCon created a special collar that turned the rampaging animated corpses docile. Now, thanks to ZomCon, everything is under control - or is it? Timmy Robinson (K'Sun Ray) isn't quite convinced. Quiet and withdrawn, the skeptical young boy spends so much time locked away in his room that he's almost become invisible around the household. His mother Helen (Carrie-Anne Moss) has recently purchased a zombie to help keep things tidy around the house, though, and when the creature attempts to engage the curious youngster in a game of catch, a friendship is forged between boy and zombie that finds the amiable gut-muncher nicknamed "Fido" (Billy Connolly) practically becoming a part of the family. Things take a turn for the worse, however, when "Fido"'s collar malfunctions and Timmy's neighbors (and sister) begin dying in droves. When ZomCon's top zombie control specialist Mr. Bottoms (Henry Czerny) moves in across the street from Timmy, the increasingly complicated situation threatens to place a serious stumbling block in the path of human-zombie relations.

Angel-A - Film, Movie - Trailer



Plot: Drowning in debt, without a Euro to his name and refused the benefits of the US green card he won in a lottery, André (Jamel Debbouze) decides the best thing for all concerned is to chuck himself into the Seine. Just as he is about to end it all on the Pont-Neuf, however, he is interrupted by a beautiful blonde (Rie Rasmussen) who leaps in first. When he pulls her to safety, she offers to help him out of his current malaise.

Angela, of course, is no ordinary stunner, though it takes time for the sceptical André to realise she has latched onto him for a reason. The twist is that she needs him just as much as he needs her, if only to feel the emotional connections that divinity has denied her.

The Host - Film, Movie - Trailer





Plot: The movie opens with an American military pathologist commanding a Korean assistant to dispose of formaldehyde down the drain.

The plot shifts to the present, focusing on a small family. Park Gang-du is a slow-witted man who runs a snack-bar with his father, Hee-bong. Hyun-seo is Gang-du's only daughter, a schoolgirl. Nam-joo is Gang-du's sister, and a national medalist archer. Nam-il is Gang-du's brother, an alcoholic who has not made much of himself since graduating from college.

Gang-du is sent to serve a customer and notices that a crowd has gathered along the edge of the Han River, pointing at something hanging off the Wonhyo Bridge. This turns out to be a large creature that drops into the water. The crowd throw food into the river, to see what will happen, but as the creature emerges, it attacks and devours people whole. Gang-du and an American man try to combat the creature. As Gang-du runs away from the monster, he sees Hyun-seo, recently emerged from the snack bar, unaware of the danger. Gang-du grabs her hand and tries to lead her to safety, but stumbles and grabs the hand of another girl instead. Realizing his error too late, he sees the monster grab Hyun-seo and drag her into the river.

The family grieves at the loss of the young girl. Nam-il blames Gang-du for Hyun-seo's death. Government representatives in biohazard suits arrive and demand to know who has had direct contact with the creature, to which Gang-du raises his hand. The family is dragged away to a hospital for quarantine. The Korean government announces that the monster is not only a direct risk, but also the host of a virus. While quarantined at the hospital, Gang-du receives a phone call from Hyun-seo, who is not dead, but trapped in a sewer. She is cut off as the cell phone battery runs out. No-one believes Gang-du except his family. They escape the hospital, determined to rescue Hyun-seo. In a confrontation with the creature, Hee-bong is killed. Gang-du is captured by soldiers, and Nam-il and Nam-joo separate.

Nam-il goes to a former college friend for help, and is able to trace Hyun-seo's phone call. He is betrayed and barely escapes capture. He manages to send a text message to Nam-joo with the information. Nam-joo meets the creature outside its lair, but she is knocked unconscious. Gang-du, trapped in the hospital, overhears that there is no virus, but the government is going through the motions anyway to save face (including attempting to extract Gang-du's brain to perform tests on it). After they take a sample of his brain tissue, he takes a hostage and escapes from the hospital.

Meanwhile, Hyun-seo survives in the sewer by hiding in a pipe, but she cannot escape. The creature drops the bodies of its victims nearby, saving them for later. Hyun-seo finds them dead or mortally wounded, except for one young orphan boy. She devises a plan to climb out of the sewer using the victims' clothes as a rope. The plan fails and the creature swallows the two children.

Gang-du arrives and realizes that his daughter is inside the beast. He chases it as it swims into the river. The three siblings converge on the monster, just as it is coming up on the riverbank where demonstrators are gathering to protest the use of Agent Yellow, a chemical that will be released by the government in order to combat the fictional virus. Chaos ensues as the creature comes on shore and is shot at. Agent Yellow is released, and it causes the creature to collapse temporarily. Gang-du manages to open its jaws and pull out the bodies of the two children. The creature then revives and tries to return to the river. Nam-il throws molotov cocktails at the creature, but none of them strike it. Then the homeless man who arrived with Nam-il pours gasoline on it and Nam-joo shoots a flaming arrow into its eye, setting it on fire. The creature runs towards the river, but Gang-du blocks its way, impaling it on a broken street sign. Gang-du tries to revive the children but only the orphan boy survives.

Ten 'til Noon - Film, Movie - Trailer



Desription: Ten 'Til Noon (2007) is a crime thriller movie that has won awards at multiple festivals (San Francisco Independent Film Festival, San Diego Film Festival, Newport Beach Film Festival).

It is a taut crime thriller in the vein of Memento and Pulp Fiction with a structural signature of witnessing the same ten minutes from the often tense perspective of ten different characters.

Its official description is: Between 11:50 and 12:00 noon, a crime is commited. In the same ten minute period, we follow the lives of the ten people, all connected to this crime. As we see each person's point of view, we are propelled closer and closer to the truth of what exactly happened...and why.

Directed by Scott Storm (graduate of the New York School of Visual Arts and classmate of Bryan Singer) and produced by Michael Creighton Rogers, Michael Mannheim, Gavin Franks, and Brian Osborne, Ten 'til Noon stars Morgan Freeman's son Alphonso and was shot during separate months on a shoestring budget with the help of countless crew and friend favors.

After a Los Angeles Premiere screening, Jon Voight's company, Crystal Sky, signed on to sell foreign and domestic distribution and the film opened theatrically in Los Angeles on March 30, 2007.

Dead Silence - Film, Movie - Trailer



Plot: There is an old ghost story in the sleepy town of Ravens Fair about Mary Shaw, a ventriloquist who went mad. Accused of the murder of a young boy, she was hunted down by vengeful townspeople who tore out her tongue and killed her. They buried her along with her "children," a hand-made collection of vaudeville dolls. Since that time, Ravens Fair has been plagued by death. The ghastly dolls from Mary Shaw's collection have gone missing from the grave and reappeared over the decades. In the dead of night--wherever they are glimpsed--families are found gruesomely murdered, with their tongues torn out like Mary Shaw.

Far from the pall of their hometown, newlyweds Jamie and Lisa Ashen thought they had established a fresh start, but when his wife is grotesquely killed, Jamie reluctantly returns to Ravens Fair for the funeral, intent on unraveling the mystery of her death.

Once reunited with his ill father and his father's new young bride, Jamie must dig into the town's bloody past to find out who killed his wife and why. As he uncovers the legend of Mary Shaw, Jamie unlocks the story of her curse and the truth behind the song from his childhood: Beware the stare of Mary Shaw. She had no children, only dolls. If you see her do not scream, or she'll rip your tongue out at the seam.

The Lives of Others - Film, Movie - Trailer



Plot: Stasi agent Gerd Wiesler, a heart-felt supporter of the communist regime, is assigned to spy on playwright Georg Dreymann, who is suspected of Western leanings. He soon finds out that the real reason why Dreymann is being spied on is that a minister and member of the Party's Central Committee is attracted to Dreymann's girlfriend, actress Christa-Marie; if Dreymann is arrested he will have free rein. Dreymann is a supporter of the regime, but dislikes the way dissidents are treated. When an artist friend commits suicide because of his marginalisation, Dreymann publishes anonymously in West Germany an article on suicide rates in the GDR. Wiesler's empathy for the writer and his girlfriend having grown as time went on, he lies in his reports to protect Dreymann. When Christa-Marie is arrested for drug abuse, she turns Dreymann in, but Wiesler removes evidence from his apartment preventing him from being detained. Christa-Marie dies when she walks in front of a truck and the operation becomes pointless; hence Wiesler's chief officer, Anton Grubitz, calls it off and ensures the end of Wiesler's career: he is demoted to Department M, where he tediously opens letters all day. At the end of the film, after German reunification, Dreymann finds the truth while searching his process in Stasi's archives and releases a book dedicated to "HGW XX/7" (Wiesler's Stasi codename). He finds out the location of Wiesler and sees that he has meanwhile become a leaflet deliverer. But Dreymann turns away and doesn't talk to him. When Wiesler buys the book and the vender asks him if he should package it as a present, Wiesler responds: "No. It's for me."

Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles - Animated, Movie - Trailer



Plot: The story begins with the attempted reclamation of Earth by the returning Robotech Expeditionary Force, with an all-out attack launched on the Invid central hive known as "Reflex Point". This revisits the battle chronicled in the final episodes of the original Robotech's New Generation storyline, except this time it is told from the standpoint of the arriving space fleet instead of that of Scott Bernard's freedom fighters. The human forces are bolstered by new "Shadow" technology given to them by a cyborg alien race befriended by the forces of Admiral Hunter. This technology gives the Robotech forces a marked advantage against the Invid, because it prevents the energy signatures emitted by their mecha's protoculture engines from being detected by Invid sensors. However, the Invid Regis quickly recogizes this technology as that of the "Children of the Shadow", the treacherous race responsible for driving the Invid from their original home world.

The battle rages on Earth's surface as well as in orbit, with Invid forces eventually overwhelming their human foes. When the Robotech forces realize that their attack has failed, they have no choice but to launch their newly-developed Neutron-S Missiles directly at Reflex Point. This last-ditch effort guarantees the eradication of the Invid horde, but at the cost of several million human lives, both military and civilian. The Invid Regis, realizing that this final destruction is pointless due to the ultimate threat posed by the Children of the Shadow, decides to leave the earth and take all protoculture with her. The Regis' daughter, Ariel (a.k.a. "Marlene" in the original series), decides to remain with love interest Scott Bernard on Earth. As a final gift to her daughter and the people of Earth, the Regis destroys the incoming Neutron-S Missles, harmlessly vaporizing them as she exits the planet's atmosphere.

Meanwhile, the human forces lose contact with the SDF-3 and Admiral Hunter, who are carrying out a final test on the Neutron-S missiles. A ship is dispatched, The Icarus, under the command of Vince Grant, to the SDF-3's location in the Omicron sector. Upon arriving at the location of the SDF-3, they are nearly drawn into a black hole. They manage to escape by using their fold system to create a field around the ship. They establish short range contact with SDF-3 and are subsequently warned by Admiral Hunter that the Neutron S missiles contain a serious flaw and must not be fired. Soon after establishing contact with the SDF-3, Vince Grant's rescue team is attacked by an unknown alien force. The rescue team attempts an escape, using the Icarus' fold system to envelope not only their ship, but the damaged research vessel and the SDF-3 as well. However, due to an alien battle cruiser ramming the SDF-3, they are forced to leave SDF-3 behind.

Description: Day of the Dead will be a remake of George A. Romero's classic zombie film of the same name, the third in the the Living Dead series. Steve Miner has signed on to direct while Jeffrey Reddick will write the script.

The plot of the original film was about a small group of survivors inside of an underground military bunker when the world becomes overrun with zombies.

According to Reddick, this film will not have any connection to Zack Snyder's 2004 remake Dawn of the Dead. Reddick told ComingSoon.net:
“It's going to be a separate movie, he told us. We wanted to pay homage to the original with the military and the scientists and the socially relevant stuff that George Romero always does, but we wanted to put a fresh spin on it. There will be similarities, but there'll be differences as well that I think fans will hopefully dig. Steve Miner (Friday the 13th Part 2) is directing, which I'm really excited about.”

A teaser poster has surfaced over the internet. There is no word as to whether this is an official poster or simply a fan made one, although it bears a strong resemblance to a poster for Land of the Dead that features a severed hand gripping a fence.

It is produced by Danny Dimbort, one of the producers of The Wicker Man and The Black Dahlia.

There are reports on bloody-disgusting.com that a reliable source has stated that Ving Rhames and Mena Suvari have been cast and that Rhames has been cast as Captain Rhodes, originally played by Joseph Pilato. The article also reports that shooting in or around Bulgaria or Romania was to begin in July, 2006. Also, IMDb reports that Christa Campbell, Matt Rippy, Vanessa Johansson, Linda Maralowe, Ian McNeice, Taylor Hoover and Hugh Skinner are attached.

bloody-disgusting.com states:
“the film is a typical zombie film, virus infects town, people start biting each other, virus spreads by the bites, and a handful of survivors try to make it out of town alive. In this one the military is brought in to enforce a quarantine on the small town of Leadville, CO because of the mysterious virus. Once they realize the virus eventually makes people start ravenously attacking each other, it's too late... EXCEPT for a few.”

On October 23, 2006, a trailer was put on the internet but was taken down a few hours later. A copy of this trailer is available on Youtube. Due to thecontent in the trailer, many fans are concerned about the quality of the movie, including theories that it will be straight to dvd.

The zombies shown in the trailer seem similar to the zombies featured in Dawn of the Dead. Both seem to have high speed and much more mobility than the Romero zombies in the original film.

Ratatouille - Film, Movie - Trailer



Plot: The film tells the success story of an unlikely hero; a rat named Rémy (voiced by Patton Oswalt) who finds himself in a Parisian restaurant made famous by an eccentric French chef, Auguste Gusteau. Rémy is not only a foodie, (so quite an outsider among his kinfolk), but aims to become a fine chef. This far-reaching ambition, incredibly enough, he achieves.

A Disney press release gives us the following plot outline:

“After taking audiences on incredible journeys to the worlds of cars, monsters, superheroes, fish and toys, only the amazing storytellers at Pixar Animation Studios ("Cars," "Finding Nemo," "The Incredibles") could create an entirely new and original world where the unthinkable combination of 5-star restaurants and rats come together for the ultimate fish-out-of-water tale.

In the new animated-adventure, RATATOUILLE, a rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great French chef despite his family's wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in the sewers of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Despite the apparent dangers of being an unlikely—and certainly unwanted—visitor in the kitchen of a fine French restaurant, Remy's passion for cooking soon sets into motion a hilarious and exciting rat race that turns the culinary world of Paris upside down.

Remy finds himself torn between his calling and passion in life or returning forever to his previous existence as a rat. He learns the truth about friendship, family and having no choice but to be who he really is, a rat who wants to be a chef. Directed by Academy Award-winning Brad Bird ("The Incredibles") and co-directed by Academy Award-winning Jan Pinkava ("Geri's Game"), RATATOUILLE is slated for release on June 29, 2007.

”In an interview, John Lasseter described the movie: "It is about a rat that wants to be a fine chef in a top French restaurant in Paris. It is a wonderful story about following your passions when all the world is against you. A rat to a kitchen is death; a kitchen to a rat is death."

Plot: Reed and Sue are married early in the film. The film's remaining story will center on the appearance of the Silver Surfer on Earth, as well as the return of Doctor Doom. The Silver Surfer does befriend Sue.

The teaser trailer (link below) shows the wedding of Reed and Sue interrupted by the arrival of Silver Surfer on Earth. Johnny Storm pursues the Surfer, but eventually is grabbed and pulled into the vacuum of orbital space, from where he is dropped back to Earth (presumably unconscious).

Ioan Gruffudd, in an interview with AICN, has stated that Galactus will not appear in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, but, his presence will be felt.

Tim Story has confirmed that Doctor Doom, seen defeated and frozen in his metal form at the end of the first film, will make a dramatic return in this movie and "he will be back in full DOOM, not like we had him in the first film." Actor Ioan Gruffudd has confirmed that Julian McMahon will be back for the sequel. Doctor Doom will have three different designs during the course of the film.

Plot: In the past few years, aging police officer John McClane (Bruce Willis) has spent his time in and out of Alcoholics Anonymous and has managed to get divorced from his wife. He is no longer employed by the police department, but has found a position with Homeland Security chasing dangerous computer hackers. On his way to turn a young hacker named Matt Foster (Justin Long) into custody, he experiences a modern version of a terrorist attack first hand when he gets stuck in traffic. A group of hackers have struck at the vulnerable United States computer infrastructure and are systematically shutting it down, beginning with the traffic light system. As they move on to crash banking networks and the stock market, the indices plummet and America’s economy becomes crippled. As usual, McClane gets caught up in the middle of the excitement. It turns out that the recently captured Matt seems bright enough to understand exactly what the terrorists are doing and what steps they are taking to achieve their mission. The sophisticated criminals have a nearly foolproof plan to bring the country to a halt, but they didn’t count on an old-school cop and his computer-smart buddy to figure things out. Soon, the crime-fighting duo of McClane and Foster are pulling out all the stops and matching wits with the terrorists, hoping to figure out the motives behind their actions and to stop them before the entire nation collapses to its knees on the anniversary day of its independence.

It isn’t long before the foursome begins to doubt the reliability of their supposed informants and allies, which eventually leads them to question their own abilities.

Mr. Bean's Holiday - Film, Movie - Trailer



Plot: Rowan Atkinson returns to the iconic role that made him an international star in Mr. Bean's Holiday. In his latest misadventure, Mr. Bean-the nearly wordless misfit who seems to be followed by a trail of pratfalls and hijinks-goes on holiday to the French Riviera and becomes ensnared in a European adventure of cinematic proportions.

Tired of the dreary, wet London weather, Bean packs up his suitcase and camcorder to head to Cannes for some sun on the beach. Ah...vacation. But his trip doesn't go as smoothly as he had hoped when the bumbling Bean falls face first into a series of mishaps and fortunate coincidences, far-fetched enough to make his own avant-garde film.

Wrongly thought to be both kidnapper and acclaimed filmmaker, he has some serious explaining to do after wreaking havoc across the French countryside and arriving at his vacation spot with a Romanian filmmaker's precocious son and an aspiring actress in tow. Will Bean be arrested by the gendarmes or end up winning the Palme d'Or? It's all caught on camera as Atkinson again applies his awkward athleticism to a comedy of errors in Mr. Bean's Holiday.

Knocked Up - Film, Movie - Trailer



Plot: For Alison Scott (Katherine Heigl) it is a big night out to celebrate her recent promotion to on-air interviewer for the E! Entertainment Network. For Ben Stone (Seth Rogen) it is just a typical drunk evening. However, thanks largely to their excessive inebriation, the two hook-up and have a one-night stand. When it becomes inescapably obvious that they don’t really get along, they go their separate ways. Unfortunately for both, Alison soon finds out that she is pregnant and has to track Ben down. Since she never got his phone number to begin with, the only way she is able to contact him is through the porn website he runs with his buddies (Jonah Hill, Jason Segel, Jay Baruchel, Martin Starr), fleshofthestars.com. Ben’s reaction to the pregnancy is one of confusion, as he simply cannot imagine giving up his utterly carefree and irresponsible lifestyle. Still, with both of their lives somewhat derailed, the two make a decision to give dating a try. With a little luck, they may actually be each other’s soul mates, but no one is actually betting on that. Despite Ben’s solid effort to prove himself as a responsible adult male capable of fathering a child, the couple continues to have problems. With the dysfunctional marriage between Alison’s sister Debbie (Leslie Mann) and her brother-in-law Pete (Paul Rudd) serving as the only example for the new couple, things get even more confusing.

The Invisible - Film, Movie - Trailer



Plot: In this film, a high school student named Nick Powell (played by Chatwin) is assaulted and left for dead after a tragic case of mistaken identity. However, he fails to "cross over" to the afterlife but instead remains in limbo between life and death, thus becoming literally invisible. As an invisible being, he watches helplessly as his mother (played by Harden) and the police search for his attacker, unaware that he is merely hours away from perishing completely. Nick must find his attacker, Annie (played by Levieva), before his body expires. She is a troubled teen who is neglected (thus metaphorically invisible to others) after the death of her mother and is on the run from the law.
