‘Assassins Creed III’ 2012 Review – Red Guy’s Reviews

This time, Red Guy reviews the highly anticipated, ‘Assassins Creed III’.

‘Iron Man 3’ Trailer #1 Review – April 26, 2013

HECK YES! The first of the post-Avengers movies to come out! APRIL 26, 2013! The Iron Man movies were the best of the bunch with Robert Downey Jr. being the absolutely perfect Tony Stark. Iron Man 1 and 2 were great with the action and humor of Tony Stark.

So this takes place after Avengers with the incident in New York.  Tony Stark has nightmares after saving the world and New York from a nuclear bomb. He’s pretty freaked out apparently. He’s scared for Pepper since  ‘a hundred people’ want to kill him’. And hey! MEMENTO! Guy Pearce is in this movie. This looks to be Iron Man with somewhat of a ‘The Dark Knight’ coating with the ‘fall of a superhero that needs to rise’. The villain looks badass too even though we know almost nothing about him. If you don’t know his name, it’s ‘Mandarin’.

As for the random Iron Man suit sneak ups on Tony Stark throughout the trailer, maybe it’s Rhodey, maybe it’s a nightmare of Tony’s, maybe somebody stole his suit, I don’t know. I’m hoping it’s just a nightmare of his. Of course, this movie does have a chance of being stupid since this trailer gives a CRAPLOAD of visuals and story away. We know two of the villains, we know Stark is doubting himself, and that he, his family, and his home and properties are being attacked and blown half way to hell. Keep you hopes up kids!

Kim Basinger Joins ‘Grudge Match’

Who isn’t excited to see Jake LaMotta and Rocky Balboa go at it in the ring together? Sure, they’re really old… but it’s still those same awesome boxers we knew from long ago. Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone.

You may have seen Ms. Kim Basinger in Charlie St. Cloud or in the upcoming ‘Third Person’ by Paul Haggis. She is going to be playing the ‘woman in the middle’ which is often seen in films with two men who have a rivalry.

The film is about two retired boxers with a rivalry who are pushed into the ring for one last fight together. Sounds like the plot of Rocky 6 but times 2 ehh?

Peter Segal is set to direct, Doug Ellin writes, and Kevin Hart is also set to be the promoter for the fight who sees good money involved.

‘Grudge Match’ is expected to begin shooting sometime in 2013.

‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Blu-Ray & DVD Covers Revealed Along With Boxset

We Switched Sites!

http://RetrospectRealm.com/

As you might have saw in our post last week, Warner Bros. Youtube channel accidentally let it slip that ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ would be on Blu-Ray and DVD on December 3, 2012. Well, now it is official with Blu-Ray and DVD covers, Limited Edition statue, and Trilogy Box Set covers revealed courtesy of Comicbookmovie.com.

See the UK DVD cover below:

So first of all, who designed this cover? Second, who approved of this cover? This is ugly. Sure Batman looks cool but look at the rest. It’s just random police cars with the bat behind Batman’s head which we can’t see well. Not to mention that Batman photo is from a different TDKR poster in which they took it from a still in ‘The Dark Knight’. It still looks cool nevertheless, but it still looks stupid. They should’ve hired some fans to do this or had a contest to use fanmade covers. Seriously, some of the stuff people make on the internet is freaking amazing.

And there is the little statue sort of thing that comes with the limited edition Blu-Ray combo pack. The broken cowl that doesn’t even match up with the way it was broken in the movie but who cares! It’s still cool!

As you can see, that is the same Batman image used on the UK DVD cover. But anyways, this poster. is starting to grow on me. I like it.

This is the Blu-Ray trilogy boxset that will be used. It’s pretty simple, but still cool nevertheless.

Here is all of the contents for the Blu-Ray tril0gy boxset. Pretty cool stuff. Am I right?

YESSSS. I am so glad that the DVD trilogy boxset has this cover. This concept was fanmade by, you guessed it, a fan. Looks like Warner Bros. came across it and decided to use it. I’ll definitely be getting this.

And there are the contents of the box set. Just like the Blu-Ray box set pretty much, just a different and better cover.

Pick up ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Blu-Ray or DVD on December 3, 2012.

Rare Images From ‘The Dark Knight’ Online

The images in question are of Batman (Christian Bale) and Joker (Heath Ledger) at a photo shoot.

There are 64 images total in that album which are all very interesting with many different poses from the two stars.

If you look closely, you may find familiar photos that were used in posters. Here are just some of the photos. Via Screen Crush

Obviously, the photos from the photoshoot look much different since they have no special effects or color correction/grading on them. Even so, it’s still cool to see how they looked in the beginning.

In other news, ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ is on Blu-Ray and DVD December 3, 2012.

‘The Dark Knight Rises’ On Blu-Ray & DVD Dec. 3

Warner Bros. actually uploaded the 3rd trailer of ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ onto their Youtube channel again a couple days ago. Why did they do this? The description of the video told us that the film will be available on Blu-ray Combo Pack and Digital Download on December 3. A tidbit little message added to the end of the trailer was added too, if you decided to watch the whole thing.

To our suprise, Warner Bros. removed the description of the video not too long before uploading the video, then deleted it. Why did they do this? Some speculate it was because they decided they did not want to announce the date yet. Considering everyone in the world who loves the new summer box office masterpiece heard of the news, taking down the trailer was pointless.

‘The Expendables 2’ Ultimate 80’s Vintage Trailer Review

What a wonderful idea! Paying tribute to how people used to watch movies at home. How trailers used to look. A great idea. Probably wasn’t Stallone’s.

It also fits for Expendables 2 since the movie is filled with action stars. The old one’s like Stallone, Arnold, Lundgren, etc. were all 80s stars too.

There’s only a couple things wrong with this though. It’s the effects they put on it. VHS’s did not jitter and mess up like that unless you were watching it in a car while driving on a bumpy road. And this is straight from the heart. From experience when I was a kid going out to eat dinner at a restaurant on rare ocassions or going on long trips for vacation… good times… good times…

‘The Last Stand’ 2013 Trailer Review

This looks like an excuse to put Arnold Schwarzenegger as an old guy who beats people up and impresses everyone. Seriously, there seems to be nothing special about this. It’s got Arnold and his weird annoying Argentinian accent, that weird black guy with the eyes, and the story is just another excuse to make an action movie.

It’s like they said,

• 1- “Hey, lets make an action movie. Go watch a bunch of action movies, take one of the stories used a million times that people will forget and we’ll use it”
• 2- “Well, how about drug cartels coming after a sherrif?”
• 3- “Nice, but we’ll need one of those former badasses to play an old sherrif who can still kick ass”
• 4- “But sir, the only one anyone cares about is Sylvester Stallone, and he’s obsessed with making stupid films filled with random action these days”
• 5- “Well, he’d fit perfect in this role, but lets get someone more annoying”
• 6- “ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER!”
• 7- “YES”

This looks about the same as Stallone’s ‘Bullet To The Head’ except it doesn’t have Sarah Shahi, so who cares about this. And tell me why some hardcore ex-CIA commando or something would be working as a sherrif? And why would they call a sherrif anyways to take down a drug cartel?

Did ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Live Up To Anticipation?

‘The Dark Knight Rises’, which premiered on July 20, 2012 in IMAX and regular theaters across the world was one of the most anticipated movies of all time. But did it live up to anticipation?

Days before The Dark Knight Rises hit theaters across the world, Rotten Tomatoes gave it a rating of 87% and many reviews on the internet raved that it was good, but sadly did not surpass 2008’s ‘The Dark Knight’.

Fans panicked at the thought of the last film of Nolan’s Epic Trilogy of one of the greatest superheros of all time not being as good as it’s predecessor. The names of those who did not give the film good reviews were hidden due to threats by hardcore fans of the trilogy.

But was it really as good as people expected it to be?

Many people left the theaters saying it was dissapointing and not what they thought it was going to be. Others left the theaters overjoyed and happy with how the trilogy was ended and were perfectly satisfied. The Dark Knight Rises was a great film overall with a complex and detailed story. The Rise and inspiration of a true hero overcoming true evil.

Going into The Dark Knight Rises, watching and speculating about the film so much. People already had their minds set to what they wanted to see and would not budge. The people have their opinions and wanted to see what they wanted to see and what was speculated. People did not expect what they saw in theaters.

I also think that people wanted more. But sadly, Christopher Nolan did not want to do anymore than a trilogy. Many agree with him, not going overboard and eventually having the series go rotten like Star Wars or Indiana Jones.

Guilty meaning “Yes, it is guilty of living up to anticipation”

Innocent meaning “No, it is innocent of living up to the anticipation” (didn’t live up).
