G.I. Joe

Another movie from the 80’s cartoon days is coming out in a live action setting next year. G.I. Joe makes his first non-cartoon appearance next year. My childhood was all about G.I. Joe toys, comic books, and the cartoon show. I kept my action figures and vehicles in great shape over the years and I still have the comics stored away.

I’m looking forward to this movie and I hope they can pull it off in similar fashion to how the Transformers did. I think the special effects with G.I. Joe will be a bit “easier” when compared to that however.

The movie is set to show up in theaters on August 7, 2009. There is no video trailer as of yet, but here is a still shot of Snake Eyes:

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

The X-Men series carries on after the X-Men Trilogy. Now, they are focusing on their origins of the X-Men and they are starting with Wolverine. What’s good is that they have the original actor from the X-Men series still involved with the latest installment. Hugh Jackman plays a great Wolverine.

X-Men 1 grossed almost $300 million worldwide, X-Men 2 almost $410 million, and X-Men 3 topped out at about $460 million. If the series continues the trend, Wolverine will make the series even more money. They will keep mining the series if that happens.

Check the teaser trailer out… The movie is set to come out May 1, 2009:

Terminator: Salvation

Once again, we are going to be treated to another movie in the Terminator franchise. I’ve been a Terminator fan since the day we rented it on VHS back in the mid 80’s. All of the Terminator films for me are exciting as I’ve always been interested in nuclear holocaust and the aftermath of such an event… call me crazy.

Anyway, the latest movie will apparently not have Arnold in it but the storyline and special effects I’m sure will more than makeup for any cameo the current governor of California would provide. Christian Bale is set to be the star of the show. He’s a hot commodity coming off his blockbuster status he has earned from his latest Batman film.

Here’s the current teaser trailer for Terminator: Salvation set for release on May 22, 2009…

Transformers 2

Transformers 2 – Revenge of the Fallen, is a sequel to the massive blockbuster hit Transformers. Set to hit theaters on June 26th, 2009… Just in time for the July 4th weekend!

I have always been a Transformers fan since they showed up in cartoon form on television during my childhood. The sequel has a lot to live up to considering the first installment grossed almost $710 million worldwide not counting dvd rental or sales.

When a trailer comes, I will definitely be posting it here!
