Smokin Aces prequel ramps up and gets director

I thought Smokin’ Aces was a complex and somewhat engaging contract killer crime movie. It came and went, but didn’t move many cinephiles enough to turn it into a cult gangland film…or even a DVD keeper really. While the box office was also somewhat disappointing, obviously someone at Universal believes enough in the film to ….

Full Terminator Salvation trailer online

The Terminator Salvation trailer actually looks pretty cool. But of course, looks can be deceiving. All I can say is, there are some kick ass bikes whizzing by, and the first half of the trailer looks like a try post-apocalyptic desert, a-la The Road Warrior. The robots are rusty and more menacing also. I got ….
