TERMINATOR SALVATION, BODY OF LIES, WATCHMEN

Yeah baby. 3 trailers worth watching.

Terminator Salvation

Set in post-apocalyptic 2018, John Connor (Christian Bale), the man fated to be the leader of the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators, and the future he was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a Terminator whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet’s operations, where they find out a terrible secret that may lead to the possible annihilation of mankind.

I welcome this franchise 100%. I’ve always though the franchise should move to the root of the storyline, Skynet, the future, the apocalypse. Christian Bale ? Interesting choice in casting; I would have cast Will Smith.

I’m kidding.

Body of Lies

A CIA operative (Leonardo DiCaprio) is sent to Jordan to find a high-ranking terrorist. While in Jordan, the operative forms an uneasy alliance with the head of Jordan’s covert operations.

Leo and Crowe ? I don’t even think I need to say anything else. Two of this gennies finest actors.

Watchmen

In an alternate 1985 where superheroes exist, Richard Nixon is still president, and tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union are at an all time high. The vigilante Rorschach is investigating the murder of the Comedian, and uncovers a plot to discredit and murder various heroes. Rorschach discovers a far wider ranging conspiracy involving his colleagues’ past which could completely change the course of history.

One word; Carla Gugino. Okay two words. This woman is as fine as they come. A lot of buzz and from the killer director Zach Snyder who is batting .1000 in my book (Dawn of the Dead, 300). I have never been a fan of Superhero films and didn’t much read the comics growing up (always a film junkie), but have always loved graphic novels.

Any film with Carla and this chicka named Malin Ackerman is a must see.

  3. Body Of Lies looks great! I’m really excited to see it.

    Watchmen. Wow. I’m a huge fan of the graphic novel. My favorite graphic novel to be exact. I’ve been eagerly waiting to see Watchmen. I’ll be there at the midnight showing.
