Movie Trailer: Law Abiding Citizen
Gerard Butler & Jamie Foxx. Sign me up.
Don’t know how this slipped under my radar, but I’m hearing rumblings that this is pretty brilliant. Can’t wait for this one!
Law Abiding Citizen is written by Kurt Wimmer (Equilibrium) and directed by F. Gary Gray (Friday, The Negotiator, A Man Apart). Although the writer has been involved in some recent stinkers (Ultraviolet, Street Kings), hopefully this will be his first sure fire hit.
Plot Synopsis:
Law Abiding Citizen is a thriller about a brilliant sociopath who orchestrates a series of high-profile murders that grip the city of Philadelphia – all from inside his jail cell – and the prosecutor assigned to his case who realizes he is the only one who can end the reign of terror.

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans starring Nic Cage and another bad hair piece.
Nicolas Cage is back! Nicolas Cage’s bad hair is back! Nicolas Cage’s acting is over the top!
I know all this is a surprise to you. But, all the craziness of Nic Cage aside, I’m interested in checking out the pseudo remake Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans by equally insane Werner Herzog. I’m positive the Harvey Keitel is the better version, but let’s hope this Bad Lieutenant doesn’t have any Nic Cage frontal nudity. I’m still trying to forget Harvey Keitel’s frank & beans…..(shudder)…..

Movie Trailer: Toy Story 3 (Full Trailer)
The long awaited trailer to Toy Story 3 is out! I’m interested to see where this goes. Looks like Andy is off to college and Woody, Buzz and all the toys end up in a Day Care.
The plot seems kind of thin here, not sure where they’ll go with it. But, I trust Pixar 100% and am looking forward to taking my kids to see this opening weekend!
