Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - Extended Edition for one night only

There is nothing like seeing the extended editions of these films because they include all of the little things that fans of the book wanted in the original theatrical release but alas would make the movie too long. Tonight we got a new intro from Peter Jackson and the fun thing we learned is that the infamous Gollum/Smeagol split-personality argument scene was actually written and then directed by Fran Walsh and not Peter Jackson due to time and scheduling deadlines. Two down and the Return of the King to Go. Good times.

New Puss in Boots Trailer

Now we finally get to see some of the story. Anyone thinking Zorro besides me? Either way, Puss was one of the best characters from the Shrek series so I look forward to checking this out when it hits theaters later this year.

The Muppets Trailer

I have loved the Muppets ever since I was a child and I have to go see their new movie. Here is the first real trailer for the film. Enjoy.

Green Lanten 3D

DC Comics finally makes its presence known on the big screen this weekend even though it is going to be the "Summer of Marvel". Ryan Reynolds is Hal Jordan, the newest emerald space cop on the block, who receives a power ring from a dying alien and must come to terms with the responsibility of being a ring slinger. All comic nerds know the origin story and this one is good enough for prime time with a few strands from other story plots thrown in to insure sequels if it does well. I enjoyed the film even it it was a bit rushed when on OA during Hal's training but Sinestro was introduced well and played excellently by Mark Strong who seems to be the industry's go to new to bad guy. A CGI fest which is what I expected and a good superhero film but I don't see it beating out Thor or Captain America at the box office.

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - Extended Edition for one night only.

I heard that the extended editions where finally getting the Blu-Ray treatment which did not mean anything to me at the time until I learned that all three films where going to be re-released to theaters for one night only as part of the promotion. Being a huge fan and participate in the original Trilogy Tuesday that lead up to the theatrical release of The Return of the King at the Uptown, there was no way I was going to miss this. Nothing beats seeing these films on the big screen and we get a personal introduction to the films from Peter Jackson. Awesomeness!

Super 8: The IMAX Experience

J.J. Abrams' love letter to Steven Spielberg's E.T. and other films is finally here and my inner nostalgic child along with my older hardened horror fan just loved the movie. I am not going in to the details of the film but what stands out best is that the alien is smart but not cute and I will be damned if he does not actually kill and eat people. The plot moves you along quickly and does not have to explain anything unnecessarily and the child actors are good with Elle Fanning delivering an on-screen film test that is truly amazing to watch. The other standout is the lead, Joel Courtney, who has doe-like eyes that just suck you in to the emotions of the scene with no real dialogue needed. The film is a must see and do stick around through the credits to see a soon to be local award willing film.

Glee Live Tour 2011

Yes I bought tickets to see this concert/performance because I could not get the tickets to see it last year in New York. The production values were great and almost everyone from the cast and backup crew were there so every character had their moment on stage - Warblers and all. Britney, aka Heather Morris, was first and everything everything took off from there. The pre-show performance was by the LXD and they are just amazing. All in all a great show and if you were able to make it you got your money worth.

X-Men: First Class

The X-Men are back and the new movie is great. Promoted as the origin of the X-Men this movie is really the staring vehicle of Magneto that delivers on the core of the character unlike X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Magneto gets his revenge and it is bloody delightful and fun to watch. The plot is all there in the trailer so nothing needs to be hashed out here and I have to say it is on par with the first X-Men film and may even be better. A rock solid story with great effects so let's see where Marvel can take their most popular franchise from here.
