“Dead Man Down” Trailer
We did our highly anticipated in 2013 podcast (Engress) recently, and movies were unfortunately cut due to time. Danny has his Top 20, but we had many more to mention. Unfortunately, this one still missed our attention. Niels Arden Oplev (2009’s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) teams again with Noomi Rapace to bring us a tense tale of revenge. Colin Farrell and Terrence Howard also star. Check out the trailer.

Loads of movies for all types of nerds fill up the upcoming year. Let’s countdown the top twenty movies that will excite us in 2013.
Head past the jump for the list.
Man of Steel Trailer
Originally, the trailer for the Zack Snyder directed Man of Steel was scheduled to show with The Hobbit this weekend. Instead, Warner Bros. decided to show the trailer off a little earlier. Definitely some interesting and fun stuff in the trailer. The teaser had me concerned but this trailer has started winning me back.

First Photo from Ender’s Game
Courtesy of Entertainment Weekly, we get out first look at Harrison Ford and Asa Butterfield (Hugo) playing Graff and Ender in this screenshot. Ender’s Game comes to theaters at the end of next year after many said that the book could not be adapted to film.
Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion
Okay, as you may have noticed by now I am a fan of books that become movies. Actually it seems like recently just about everything on the big screen falls into that category. I found this book after watching the trailer for Warm Bodies. I vaguely remembered the plot from my search for a zombie story that was less gore more heart.
If you have seen the trailer you know that this story tries to make light of the Protagonist, R‘s, situation; you know… being the walking undead. Here is what you need to know about the plot.
This is a story of star-crossed lovers. She is a teenage girl and he is a zombie who has eaten her boyfriend’s brain. When a zombie eats a human brain, it absorbs all of its prey’s memories and in the case of “R” he absorbs the feelings this boy has for Julie. R & Julie…. ring and shakespearian bells? R’s ability to love Julie causes a change and its contagious, proving that love truly conquers all.

Pacific Rim Virals Out Today (Updated)
Guillermo del Toro is working on an American version of giant robots versus kaiju movie called Pacific Rim. You may have heard Ricky and me talk a little about it on the podcast. If you are unfamiliar with what kaiju is then think of Godzilla or any other Japanese giant monster and that will be your answer. We have only recieved little snippits and the official trailer is about two weeks away from releasing, but today a few viral videos and images released on the internet and we are all grateful for it.
This is a video of the test for the Kaiju Emergency Alert System

Sinister Six in Amazing Spider-Man Sequel?
Amazing Spider-Man just released on Blu-ray/DVD last Friday and many people are already trying to guess who will be in the sequel. From end scene of Amazing Spider-Man, I believe that the person talking with Curt Conners to be the Vulture. Where Ricky thinks that the person is actually Electro, especially with news that Jamie Foxx would like to take on the role.
What if we are both correct?
