Prometheus Review!

Review: Prometheus Review - Variety
Trailer: Prometheus - 20th Century Fox

Variety has what I believe is the first media review of "Prometheus." Expect SPOILERS!

The Last Ride

Trailer: The Last Ride - Mozark Productions

Hank Williams' final days are portrayed in "The Last Ride," a road movie that to seems to mirror "On the Road" a bit. Here, Henry Thomas plays the legendary country artist, being shuttled to his next gig by a young man, played by Jesse James.

The trailer seems to have a good, independent vibe to it, and it could be interesting. The cinematography has that worn-in feel that reflects its time.

"Battleship" Knock-Off Could Sink!

Story: Universal Sues Over 'Battleship' Knockoff - TMZ
Trailer: American Warships - The Asylum

The Asylum, the low-budget studio that makes knock-offs of major studio films, has struck again! This time, its target is "Battleship." And, Universal Studios isn't amused!

The Asylum's was to be called "American Battleship." But, Universal quickly sued for unspecified damages. However, The Asylum has now acquiesced somewhat. They have changed to title to "American Warships" and altered the poster.

Piranha 3DD

Trailer: Piranha 3DD - Weinstein Company

Yes, there actually is a sequel to "Piranha 3D!" And, yes the "DD" in "Piranha 3DD" is what you think it is! This installment is directed by John Gulager. Most don't know him. But, I was a real fan of "Project Greenlight," the reality series founded by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. It concerned amateur filmmakers vying to helm a $1 million budget independent film. In Season Three, which was also the last season, Gulager won. Since then, he has been the only successful product of the show, making low-budget films like this.

The Amazing Spider-Man

Trailer: The Amazing Spider-Man - Columbia Pictures

One of those "Who Asked for This?" movies! It seems like we just got done with Sam Raimi's three Spider-Man movies, now we have this one. Should we really be looking forward to this? I personally didn't get much out of the previous series. So, I am not exactly jumping up and down thinking about this movie!

It does seem to be a well-made movie, so there's that. But, will there be enough to get viewers into the theater? You'll have to decide!
