Visionary director Tarsem Singh, who has spun stuff like The Cell, The Fall, transports us in this epic tale of treachery, vengeance and destiny in Immortals. It looks rather stylish as a visually spectacular 3D action adventure.

The story concerns a power-hungry king razes ancient Greece in search of a legendary weapon, a heroic young villager rises up against him in a thrilling quest as timeless as it is powerful.

The brutal and bloodthirsty King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) and his murderous Heraklion army rampage across Greece in search of the long lost Bow of Epirus. With the invincible Bow, the king will be able to overthrow the Gods of Olympus and become the undisputed master of his world. With ruthless efficiency, Hyperion and his legions destroy everything in their wake, and it seems nothing will stop the evil king’s mission.

The movie opens in theaters November 11, 2011.

Screenhead is hosting a giveaway for Kim Cattrall’s scandalous comedy-drama Meet Monica Velour, which will be available on DVD and Blu-ray August 16th. In celebrating the upcoming release, we have three copies of Meet Monica Velour to giveaway.

Starring also Dustin Ingram, who makes an impressive adolescent, teenage boy, the movie is written and directed by Keith Bearden. The movie is considered an irreverent comedy about an awkward teenager Tobe (Ingram) who sets off on a road trip to meet Monica Velour (Cattrall), his favorite 80s porn star. He is headed for her rare live appearance hundreds of miles away.

Instead of the glamorous sexpot portrayed on film, he finds a 49-year-old single mom living in a trailer in rural Indiana. Still captivated by his crush, Tobe befriends Monica, further complicating her difficult life. Cattrall gives a career-defining performance in this offbeat love story that appeal to the dreamer – and the nerd we often see in the best of us.

To enter the giveaway, post your name and we will pick the winners September 3, 2011.

As Fernanda (Rooney Mara) enters her senior year at Tanner Hall—a sheltered boarding school in New England—she’s faced with unexpected changes in her group of friends when a childhood acquaintance, the charismatic yet manipulative trouble-maker Victoria (Georgia King), appears.

Shy and studious, Fernanda is usually the voice of reason among her friends—adventurous and sexy Kate (Brie Larson) and tomboy Lucasta (Amy Ferguson)—but when she begins a complicated friendship with Gio (Tom Everett Scott), an older family friend, she decides it’s finally time to take some risks. Jealous of Fernanda’s exciting relationship, Victoria begins to sabotage Fernanda’s plans and plots to publicly humiliate her.

Meanwhile, Lucasta struggles with her newfound feelings towards another classmate, and mischievous Kate is too preoccupied with making her teachers nervous to pay much attention to her actual classes.

However, as each of the girls flirt with adulthood, they realize they still need each other to help get through their first grown-up decisions—and the consequences they bring. But, does the movie have enough ups to go with the downs?

Directed by Francesca Gregorini and Tatiana von Furstenberg, Tanner Hall also stars Amy Sedaris and Chris Kattan. Tanner Hall hits select theatres September 9, 2011.

Cave Of Forgotten Dreams is now available to watch from the comfort of your home on SundanceNOW.com. How cool is that!

A breathtaking documentary from director Werner Herzog (Encounters At The End Of The World, Grizzly Man) Cave Of Forgotten Dreams follows an exclusive expedition into the nearly inaccessible Chauvet Cave in France, home to the most ancient visual art known to have been created by man. It is an unforgettable cinematic experience that provides a unique glimpse of pristine artwork dating back to human hands over 30,000 years ago — almost twice as old as any previous discovery.

The documentary was an Official Selection at the 2010 Toronto International Film Fest. The film is the top grossing documentary of 2011 and the 25th highest grossing doc of all time.

And, what is super cool is that I have a code to giveaway for a complimentary viewing of the movie!

Simply, post your name and I will pick the winner August 5, 2011.

For over 20,000 years, Chauvet Cave has been completely sealed off by a fallen rock face, its crystal-encrusted interior as large as a football field and strewn with the petrified remains of giant ice age mammals. In 1994, scientists discovered the caverns, and found hundreds of pristine paintings within, spectacular artwork dating back over 30,000 years to a time when Neanderthals still roamed the earth and cave bears, mammoths, and ice age lions were the dominant populations of Europe. Since then, only a few people have been allowed access into Chauvet Cave, and the true scope of its contents had largely gone unfelt—until Werner Herzog managed to gain access.

Filming in 3D, Herzog captures the wonder and beauty of one of the most awe-inspiring sites on earth, all the while musing in his inimitable fashion about its original inhabitants, the birth of art and the curious people surrounding the caves today.

Battleship Trailer is promoting the Summer 2012 release, the battle for Earth begins at sea. Whatever happened to Hasbro’s board game of the same name? I thought Battleship was based on the board game. It is obvious the movie is about a battle at sea with awfully big aliens compared to Earth’s tiny battleships. Oh, if you haven’t noticed, there is a love story, too. I am curious, though. Does anyone in the movie say “You sunk my battleship!”?

On behalf of Salient Media I am introducing you to the horror-thriller Atrocious – will hit theatres on August 17th for a special engagement! Atrocious will join the “Night Terrors” film series where The Collective, AMC Theatres and Bloody-Disgusting.com have teamed up to distribute the best new horror and thriller titles from the festival and international markets to AMC theatres across America.

These showings are totally for horror fans.

Atrocious is a gruesome, mind-bending thriller shot in a style reminiscent of The Blair Witch Project. The horror film excerpts found footage from a film reel recovered by Spanish police, documenting a family of five discovering the truth behind a dangerous urban legend. The 37 hours of found footage follow Cristian and July Quintanilla passing time at their summer home by investigating a terrifying and mysterious urban legend. As their investigation intensifies, strange occurrences in and around the house escalate rapidly, culminating finally in unspeakable atrocities.


The Adventures of TinTin-The Secret of the… by Paramount_Australia

Combining the stories of The Crab with the Golden Claws, The Secret of the Unicorn and Red Rackham’s Treasure, the trailer looks like it captures Tintin’s (Jamie Bell) first meeting with Captain Haddock (Andy Serkis) along with the discovery of a clue to the treasure of his ancestor Sir Francis Haddock.

The two of them begin the adventure of finding out where the treasure is located. They are with a prison escapee who tried to get the treasure as well as. Then, there are Detectives Thompson and Thomson (Simon Pegg and Nick Frost) who bumble around and try to get the upper hand of the situation.

The digital cinematography is extraordinary. Steven Spielberg, who directs the movie, was significantly assisted by the producer Peter Jackson. Jackson hopes to direct the sequel .
The movie opens late 2011.

I can’t believe that I am writing this and saying that Jack and Jill looks like a funny movie. Adam Sandler plays both Jack and Jill. They are twins; one is a boy and one is a girl. Neither one looks very handsome or pretty.

But that’s not the point. The point is that it is a little raunchy, most Sandler movies are, but I had fun watching this trailer.  Call me crazy or stupid, it still looks like a winner.

Katie Holmes also stars as Jack’s wife; she is adorable. Al Pacino also stars as a love struck man hitting on Sandler as Jill.
