Jurassic Park, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice & Fantastic Four.

Nubia 1:16:00 PM

Holy Trailers Batman!

There's been some great movie trailers dropping this past week or so. If you haven't checked them out (because you live on outer space or something) I wanted to post them here for you. So excited for Jurassic Park, Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice. I'm still feeling pretty iffy about Fantastic Four... just not convinced yet.

So many comic book based movies coming out soon and Jurassic Park is such a classic... looks like we have a good few months ahead of us in the film department.

Jurassic Park

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Fantastic Four.

Which one of these are you looking forward to the most?

Stephen King

Netflix Favorites For April 2015.

Nubia 11:29:00 PM

Because everyone needs a movie night...

I was roaming Netflix the other day and bumped into some pretty awesome movies that brought back great memories... you know, the kind of film you just always remember.

Anyway I thought I'd make a short list of some recommendations I had for this month just in case you haven't watched them already.

1) The Devil's Rejects - House of 1,000 Corpse to be continued... and then you have THIS. I'm actually a fan of most Rob Zombie Films (some are even too intense for me). If sick, twisted and dark horror is something you're into, than this is for you! Plus who doesn't love lil ol' Sheri Moon Zombie as 'Baby'? "Chinese, Japanese, dirty knees, look at these!"

2) Bebe's Kids- When I was younger I watched this movie time after time after time. Robin Falls in love with Jamika but he was to deal with her crazy ass 4 kids. It's a really cute classic. You have to watch this movie at least once in your life. Bebe's kids don't die, they multiply!

3)Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood- Hahaha this movie is just too much. I believe this was the Waynes Brothers first parody movie. If you have even one ounce of 'Hood' in you, street smarts, or just enjoy a urban comedy that makes fun of gangs and racial statistics, than this is for you. "Recruiter: Well, I see your hobbies include "drinkin', smokin' weed, and all types of ill shit."

4)Natural Born Killers- Ummm can you say relationship goals? One of my favorites from Quentin Tarantino. But really, Mickey and Mallory Knox are crazy twisted in love and take on the road and a life of crime. This movie is magic. "You know the only thing that kills the demon... is love".

5)Cujo- Don't let the Netflix rating fool you. This is a cult classic based on a Stephen King novel. Imagine your cute lil doggy, you know, mans best friend and all going bat-shit crazy? I never thought I could be scared of a dog. "Terror has a new name".

6)Pulp Fiction- Another work of art by Quentin Tarantino. Also, the movie that first got me to love Uma Thurman. It's like a game of connect the dots all the way through. "And you will know I AM THE LORD when I lay my vengeance upon you"

7) Cool World- Even though I still like Who Framed Roger Rabbit more... Cool World is still a must see just because. Reasons I can't explain... you just have to watch it once in your lifetime. It's Brad Pitt and cartoons, what do you have to lose. Plus Holli Would voiced by Kim Basinger is a total fox. Sneaky and hot.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this short list and find something you'll enjoy in it. Toodles!

New Marvel's Ant-Man - Trailer 1

Nubia 8:19:00 AM

Yay Monday Means New Trailer...Today At Least!

via

Marvel has just dropped it's first full length Ant-Man movie trailer starring Paul Rudd as Scott Lang. The trailer looks pretty promising for the comic book movie.

It's cool to see Paul Rudd in this kind of role as apposed to so much comedy. You get to see him shrink to ant size and have a short and sweet conversation with an Ant. The trailer includes a quick backstory, some humor, a face off, he even gets punch by a chick! Ch-ch-ch- Check it out.

The Ant-Man film is set to be in theaters July 17th.

What do you guys think so far?

DareDevil On Netflix. Let Us Binge!

Nubia 7:44:00 PM

The Real Question Is Who Hasn't Been Binging On Marvel Comics DareDevil This Weekend?!

Ok guys so I'm only on like episode 5 right now but so far so great! Am I right? I don't want to give too much away but I'm really enjoying the way the story is unravelling and I love how detailed the fight scenes. They're doing a great job at showing how DareDevil's other senses (besides sight obviously) are so heightened. The way he could tell when a weapon is about to hit him or when someones out in the hallway before they even enter (he could smell them)... so many small details are making this show fantastic to me.

I'm very much enjoying it. Charlie Cox is doing a stellar job and I'm enjoying the rest of the cast too. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect when I heard about this show at first... I was never huge on DareDevil. Needless to say I am very pleasantly surprised.

What do you guys think about the show so far? Drop a comment.

Orange Is The New Black Season 3 Trailer.

Nubia 12:30:00 PM

One Of Our Favorite Women's Prison Shows Is Back!

The Orange Is The New Black season 3 trailer has finally dropped. I don't know about you guys but I was a BIG Fan of season 1 and season 2 had me feeling blahhh... It was ok.

The Season 3 trailer looks a little more promising and I'm super happy with the return of Alex Vause (Laura Prepon). I feel like the lack of her in season 2 was one of the reasons I didn't enjoy it as much. I wonder what will happen to her and Piper (Taylor Schilling) in season 3 and if Piper has anything to do with Alex being back in jail.

Anyway, the trailer looks like they'll be plenty on drama and I can't wait for season 3 to drop on Netflix.

On another note, after I was a bit disappointed about season 2 I discovered Wentworth on Netflix. An Aussie women's prison show similar to 'Orange Is The New Black'. In a lot of aspects I like Wentworth more than Orange Is The New Black... It's a bit more rough and realistic in my opinion. If you have Netflix, you can check out the first 2 seasons of Wentworth HERE.

At the end of the day I love both shows, cheers!

Happy 20th Anniversary to Disney's 'A Goofy Movie'.

Nubia 8:27:00 PM

My brother let me know today that I was getting pretty old...

My brother let me know that he read via Entertainment Weekly that today is Disney's 'A Goofy Movie' 20th anniversary.

I have a true weak spot for this animated movie... I'm not sure why. What I will tell you is that it's my second favorite Disney movie after 'The Lion King' (That's right! Beat out all of the Disney Princesses). Till this day I think this movie was terribly over looked. If you haven't seen it, go watch it NOW!

Max was moody and like many of us embarrassed by his dad, Goofy. They went through trial and tribulations and all sorts of ups and downs/father son fights. The movie had some really great emotional scenes going on. At the end I think Max realized what was important and realized his dad loved him and would do anything for him. Goofy even helped Max catch the affection of his mega crush and ultra Disney babe Roxanne.

One of the things I think has been over looked the most in A Goofy Movie is that spectacular songs. Tevin Campbell voiced 'Powerline' which was Max's and all of his friends super cool music idol. He was super smooth, had movies like Michael Jackson and an awesome futuristic style.

He also sang amazing songs with fantastic lyrics like "Eye 2 Eye' and "Stand Out". I think Eye 2 Eye might be one of my favorite songs in like as a matter of fact. The lyrics are so romantic and inspiring and the song has so much energy. It's absolutely fantastic.

Lyrics from Eye 2 Eye and the great 'Perfect Cast' dance Goofy and Max created. A truly heart warming movie.

If you're a good friend you'll pay The Goofy Movie Forward. It's so ridiculously underrated, I've talked to so many people about this. Tell you're friends about them or even better do something that I've done, buy them the DVD and give it to them!

Below is my favorite song from the movie Eye 2 Eye. Goofy and Max crash PowerLine's concert and it's pretty epic. Enjoy!

Joe Simko's 'Cereal Killers' Card Sheet Winner!

Nubia Mejia 10:37:00 PM

This is SO AWESOME!

Remember when I went to the Las Vegas Super Toy Con a few weeks back? Well, I entered a giveaway for a Joe Simko's 'Cereal Killers' Series 1 uncut card sheet and won! I was so very excited because I'm one of those people who really never win anything. Series 1 is sold out, so other than getting it on ebay, this was the only way to get my hands on one.

I love these cards because they're so much fun and they're for people like me, obsessed with pop culture. Joe Simko takes classic cereal boxes, classic serial killers, cereal box characters, classic movie characters and creates the best pictures and titles for the images of the boxes. Some of my favorite titles are "Clockwork Porridge", "Children Of The Corn Flakes", "Fiber The 13th", "Chucky Harms" and much more.

In the photos below, you're going to see the leading men of some of your favorite horror films. My favorite cards are the ones channeling classic films like 'A Clockwork Orange', 'Halloween/Michael Myers', 'Chucky', 'Friday The 13th', 'Terminator', and more.

Thanks so much to the people over at Wax Eye, make sure to check them out on Facebook HERE. Shout out to the Las Vegas Super Toy Con too! Fun times. You can check them out on Facebook HERE.
