Theatrical Release:Sep 4, 2009 Wide

GAMER is a high-concept action thriller set in a near future when gaming and entertainment have evolved into a terrifying new hybrid. Humans control other humans in mass-scale, multi-player online games: people play people…for keeps. Mind-control technology is widespread, and at the heart of the controversial games is its creator, reclusive billionaire Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall). His latest brainchild, the first-person shooter game “Slayers,” allows millions to act out their most savage fantasies online in front of a global audience, using real prisoners as avatars with whom they fight to the death.

Kable (300’s Gerard Butler) is the superstar and cult hero of the ultraviolent “Slayers.” Kable is controlled by Simon, a young gamer with rock star status who continues to defy all odds by guiding Kable to victory each week. Taken from his family, imprisoned and forced to fight against his will, the modern day gladiator must survive long enough to escape the game to free his family, regain his identity and to save mankind from Castle’s ruthless technology.

GAMER stars Gerard Butler (300, THE UGLY TRUTH), Michael C. Hall (“Dexter”), Amber Valletta (TRANSPORTER 2), John Leguizamo (RIGHTEOUS KILL, ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13), with Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges, and Kyra Sedgwick (“The Closer”).

Behind The Scenes

Looks official…..the cast line up is crazy

Who is Squeegee Lo?

Arguably, the biggest dancer of all time. Squeegee Lo, through sheer willpower, has revived his career and is experiencing a miraculous popularity resurrection, after scandal, financial difficulty and heartbreak.

Born in the ghetto, Squeegee was abandoned by his parents and forced to walk the streets. To survive, he washed car windshields for pennies.

While enduring this backbreaking labor at just nine years old, Squeegee had an idea. After washing each window, he would dance and give each patron a show he or she would never forget.

It worked. Young Squeegee made more dancing in a day than a month of window washing. The name Squeegee stuck, and a star was born. It was only the beginning.

Ever since 2006, there have been too many articles to count about the lack of black sitcoms on television. Every season since the 2006-2007 television season, there have been no new black sitcoms created. That trend ended at the beginning of this television season.

During this television season, many television networks have added black sitcoms. Lifetime currently airs the Sherri Shepherd sitcom, “Sherri,” and FOX airs “Brothers.” Aside from that, the Internet is booming with black sitcoms. BET.com recently began airing the Tatyana Ali project, “Buppies.”

In addition to BET.com, there are many websites geared towards black content creators for them to upload their work. In the midst of all of that, too, is True Black Television. The network airs many original black sitcoms right over the internet. Shows featured on the channel include “Living Lavish,” “Can Life Get Any Worse Than This?,” “Rundown & McRee,” and “Road to the Altar.”

By next year, the network hopes to more than double their original sitcom output. Right there, as of now, there are seven new black sitcoms that have invaded some form of screen. On top of all of that, TBS still has their Tyler Perry sitcoms, BET has plans of reviving “The Game,” and TBS is planning an “Are We There Yet?” sitcom.

Despite all of this activity, most magazines and websites are still talking about the lack of black programs being created. It is rare to read an article about Terry Crews’ new sitcom, Jaleel White returning to the spotlight, or True Black Television’s quest to save black television. Instead, all that can be heard is how black television is on life support.

Take things back to January of 2008, no words could be farther from the truth, but it is almost January 2010 and there are a lot of black programs on television. An IV has been placed into the vein of black television and more and more shows are being created. It is time for all of these websites to take notice of this and research exactly what is going on. Then, they can write more accurate articles.

The black sitcom is no longer on life support, please let it go!

Seguinte; Sabe somar? Então vamos lá…

Sylvester Stallone +  Jason Statham + Jet Li + Dolph Lundgren + Eric Roberts  + Randy Couture + Steve Austin + David Zayas  + Terry Crews + Mickey Rourke  + Bruce Willis  + Arnold Schwarzenegger =

Isso mesmo esse é o elenco principal de The Expendables, próximo filme escrito, dirigido e estrelado por Sylvester Stallone, já tem nome em português. A Califórnia Filmes lançará o longa com o título Os Mercenários. A distribuidora aproveitou para dizer que as filmagens durarão três semanas no país, inicialmente no Rio de Janeiro, e que Rodrigo Santoro e Juliana Paes negociam para participar do filme. Entre as atrizes que fizeram teste com Stallone nesta semana que passou estão Gisele Itiê e Cleo Pires; o ator já deixou o país e confirmações acerca do elenco devem sair em breve.

Em fevereiro começa a pré-produção e as filmagens por aqui acontecerão em março. O Estado da Louisiana, nos EUA, também servirá de locação. O longa acompanha um grupo de mercenários que assume uma missão para derrubar um ditador na América do Sul, na ilha caribenha de Corza, uma pequena e mal desenvolvida nação perto de Cuba.

Here is the worst trailer for what is going to be the greatest movie of all time. Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Eric Roberts, Randy Couture, special appearance by the Governator, I’m sure the Predator and RoboCop have cameos. I think KITT is their getaway car, and in the final battle Skeletor gets run over by the General Lee while Optimus Prime plays a killer guitar solo. In all seriousness, if there were Oscars for Best Jason Statham performace, Best One-Liners before massive explosions, and Most Bullets Used to Kill One Person, this movie would win at least two of those. I. Can’t. Wait.

The trailer isn’t available to be viewed readily in the States due to Copyright laws, according to YouTube. But on a completely unrelated note, check out this link on how to make a delicious apple cobbler. WATCH how carefully THE crust is laid in a crossing pattern on the baking dish. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can add a nice whip cream TRAILER. Just click HERE:

This movie looks like it might beat the last 45 minutes of the last Rambo movie (where there is no dialogue and Rambo stabs people in the head, snaps their necks, SHOOTS THEM WITH EXPLODING BULLETS, then proceeds to get behind a large, mounted automatic machine gun and fire at anything moving for a good half hour. Both in regular and slow motion).

Remember when you were a kid and you would set up elaborate storylines with your GI Joes, Transformers, He-Man, Star Wars, and MASK figurines? Waging epic, cross-toy-line battles to either save or avenge the gruesome firecracker death of your sister’s Barbies? This is the movie equivalent of that.

WHOOOOAAAA!!! Looks like THE EXPENDABLES is following John Rambo’s formula one part bad movie with two parts fucking insanely violent awesome movie.  Nice to see the AA-12 getting put to good use.

The story follows a team of mercenaries who head to South America on a mission to overthrow a dictator.

This trailer might be pulled down by Lionsgate very soon, so check it out now while you still can!

Forest Whitaker, Eric Roberts, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke et Sylvester Stallone dans un même film ? Il y a des années de ça, vous l’auriez pas cru, et pourtant, voici venir The Expendables, dont la date de sortie est prévue pour l’été 2010 (le 20 Août aux USA) et la première bande-annonce nous est enfin révélée.

Putain ce que ça a l’air con. Et par là même ce film a l’air totalement jouissif, nous renvoyant directement aux années 80, où le cinéma d’action s’illustrait par sa violence gratuite, ses scénarios insensés, et ses personnages cartoonesques et bodybuildés, et non pas par une foultitude d’effets spéciaux, des scènes d’action lissées, et une violence graphique aseptisée. Il y a des explosions, des gunfights, une scène de combat entre Jet Li et Dolph Lundgren, Jason Statham torse nu et Rourke sur une moto !

On dirait une fusion de Commando de Demolition Man et de Rambo 4, ce qui est complètement génial.

It’s like the 80’s all over again

“Assim que surgir o Game Over na tela, você deve esquecê-lo”

Num futuro próximo, as pessoas terão acesso a uma nova modalidade de jogo, onde de forma online poderão controlar outras pessoas. Existem dois tipos de jogos virtuais, o Slayers – algo como um counter striker da vida onde jovens controlam condenados no corredor da morte numa arena sangrenta, e o Sociedade – não menos indecente onde pessoas de forma perversa, controlam outras pessoas numa mistura de The Sims com Second Life. O que diferencia e que, os controladores do Slayer buscam emoção, tensão e violência, já os do Sociedade, não passam de sádicos em busca de perversão e promiscuidade. Ambas obras criadas pelo maligno Ken Castle (C. Hall), um engenheiro bem sucedido que em pouco tempo superou a fama e a fortuna do top-ranking Bill Gates.

Mas espera…Kable, Kable, Kable – todos só falam no cara, o jogador mais bem sucedido do Slayers (Butler) precisa apenas sobreviver em mais 4 batalhas para ganhar a liberdade.

Este futuro promíscuo e caótico foi escrito e dirigido por Mark Neveldine e Brian Taylor, responsáveis por também Adrenalina – o que não é de se estranhar já que toda freneticidade da câmera nervosa e das cenas de ação também estão presentes aqui em um tom mais dark.

A ideia e sem dúvidas boa, porem mostrar o futuro revolucionário dos games poderia ser muito melhor explorado aqui – ate porque este parecia ser a única forma de entretenimento da maior parte da população do mundo todo. Mas não deixa de ser interessante ver a forma como os roteiristas abordaram a interatividade de seus ‘controladores’ com seus ‘controlados’. Inovador então seria a melhor palavra para descrever Gamer, mesmo que este ainda mame do clichê ‘ valentão fodão’ (sem sentido) que acaba com 10 grandões de uma só vez, esperto e tal que sempre está a frente de todos e tem de salvar a donzela desamparada que precisa da mão do macho dominante. Gamer não é um filme para ser levado a sério, tão pouco para ser guardado na mente – é um puta blockbuster cheio de tiroteios, explosões, violência e mulheres semi nuas, coisa que deve chamar a atenção de muitos adolescentes e jovens, mas de forma bem passageira.

Boris Kodjoe and Nicole Ari Parker hit up the world premiere of Touchtone Pictures’ “Surrogates” at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood.  They both look stunning.  It’s rare to catch either one slippin’.  That’s one good looking couple right there.  Ron Artest, Bruce Willis and Terry and Rebecca Crews when you

Endlich ist es so weit der erste Trailer zu “The Expendables” ist da. Und die Qualität ist jetzt auch super!!

In the future video gaming has taken to a new extreme, people controlling real people . . . yes that sounds very strange but thats how far everything had come in the future in this film. Castle (Michael C. Hall) was the founder of two different “simulation” worlds the first having actors, who are controlled by the users doing what ever they want. Then second was a “TV Show” called Slayers which involved convicts from death row to battle to the death while being controlled by a user.

Kable (Gerard Butler) is the star of the whole show as he made it through 27/28 battles, the whole point of it was in any of them made it to 30 they would therefore be released from death row and therefore the show and have a second chance at life. Simon (Logan Lerman) is the user who controls Kable, he is a 17-year-old boy. Kable wants to get out so he can find and be with his wife and daughter again. But Castle has other plans, to increase his bank balance which I will not go into so I do not spoil the film.

I suppose the whole idea of the film is to say how far will it all go in relation to reality tv and computer games appearing more and more realistic. So this could have been a really good film, or at least potential to be. I did not really enjoy it, I cannot lie. I just found it rather pathetic at times mainly because of the terrible jokes which were difficult to figure out if they were actually supposed to be funny or not.

I do like Gerard Butler a lot (and yes I am referring to his acting, even though he is very nice looking) and I think the different roles he seems to take on is one of the main reasons for liking him more each time. I think he makes a very good action hero if you want to class a few of his roles in this category now. But he has also done some very different things such as “Phantom of the Opera” and then the rom-com genre with “P.S. I Love You” and “The Ugly Truth” which make him more appealing to women as showing a more sensitive side. But I definitely think he is very appealing to both men and women because of his wide range of roles. This role I think will be good for both men and women.

Michael C. Hall was very creepy in his role as Castle. I know he is from Dexter but have never seen that but remember watching Six Feet Under A Few Times. But the “got no strings” scene was soooo creepy. I actually thought he put in a very good performance mainly from the creepiness. But some of the lines he was given were shocking it has to be said.

I would use “Death Race” as a comparison for this film, and I was not a fan of that either. But I think the idea between this film was better than that of Death Race. With the rise of the internet and video games ever evolving. Maybe this is more of a guy film, who knows? I am interested to see what others think of this film.

This excellent review by Robert De Nijman.

Going into this movie, I wasn’t really expecting a lot. I had only seen one short preview, which made it look like any other post-Running Man fight-your-way-out-of-trouble action flick that sees the protagonist trapped in a game show-like fantasy, going through army’s of bad guys like Pacman through so many of those little pills. I didn’t know however, that Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, the writer/director duo that brought us Crank and Crank: High Voltage, were at the helm of Gamer. The first minutes of the movie made that distinctly clear, though, as high powered action and fast paced kinetic camera-work introduce us to the world of Slayer, a first-person shooter that has its inmate characters live and die at the control(s) of real world gamers. Movements of both players and camera and the feel of the game are right on the money if you’ve ever seen shooters like Counterstrike or Call of Duty.

The world of Gamer is a not too distant future where Castle, an overnight software giant shying the likes of Microsoft and Google, reigns supreme. Its young manager, media mogul Ken Castle, couldn’t be more offspring of Generation X or Michael C. Hall’s joyfully overacted and clearly Dexter-based part would be played by Coupland himself. The immense riches brought on by his revolutionary gaming technologies make him a have-it-all loner who has lost all contact with the everyday reality spawned by Taylor and Neveldine. The virtual world is slowly replacing the tangible one, as more and more people hook on to games like Society, where you get to control an actual human being in a more-or-less fictional setting, best described as Sims at a Mad Max-themed rave, dressed by Brüno. It is in these aspects that the directors are at their best, using internet and other digital references to portray these future playgrounds, hyper technological media and the next generation of adult entertainment. The kind of future not quite as dark as the one imagined by Orwell, but pretty scary nonetheless, like we’re all trapped in the Ministry of Virtual Reality.

If Castle’s virtual world Society laid the first bricks for his soon-to-be world dominating company, second invention Slayer certainly paved the rest of the way, captivating a loyal audience the world over. The hero of the game is Kable (a contemporary Ben Richards if you will), or John Tillman outside the map of the game, played by Gerard Butler. A prison inmate who gets a fighting chance for parole, if he successfully completes thirty missions in Slayer. Which means the seventeen-year-old professional gamer that controls him has to beat a world full of other gamers, most notably Terry Crews’ Hackman, an all-killing, all-dancing beast of man, whose impressive physique (neck), short singing routine (‘I haven’t got any strings’) and the fact there’s no-one in the real world controlling him make him more fierce than Dynamo, Fireball and Buzzsaw combined. Rich background casting is provided as well, seeing supporting parts for Ludicrous, John Leguizamo, Alison Lohman, Milo Ventimiglia and Keith David, among others (although some in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-’em capacity), but this is clearly an all-out Butler-show. Quite possibly due to the fact the makers intended to put moviegoers into the perspective of his character as well.

Tillman’s wife (Amber Valletta) and daughter on the outside are what keep him going, but we soon find out he hides an important secret as well; one that Castle would very much like to remain hidden. In the end, that gambit combined with the somewhat rushed climax are what amount to Gamer falling short of being a true original, but other than that I highly recommend you go see this movie. The extremely detailed look at a possible future makes it eerily clear we may be closer to an alternative 1984 than we are past it.
