Daniel Craig returns to the role of MI6 agent, James Bond, under the watchful eye of Sam Mendes (Jarhead). He is joined at MI6 by the perrenial Dame Judi Dench and newcomers Ralph Fiennes as Gareth Mallory, Ben Whishaw as Q, and Naomie Harris as Eve.

This film chronicles the story as Bond hunts down a terrorist who has stolen a hard drive which contains the identities of all NATO agents currently undercover.

Undead Trailers
You should know by now that we at Call Yourself A Nerd are pretty big zombies fans, especially when it comes to our love of The Walking Dead.
Next year, we get lucky with two promising movies. The first one is Warm Bodies and it is about a zombie falling in love with a normal human girl. Before you make Twilight comparisons, this movie actually looks funny on purpose. Then we have World War Z with Brad Pitt which look to be intense with fast zombies. Both titles are based on books, I have read World War Z and it is quite an interesting collection of stories.

Wreck-It Ralph Review
What You Need to Know:
Before the feature, you will see the beautiful short Paperman from director John Kahrs about a man who meets a woman at the train station, but the only token he has to remember her is a sheet with her lipstick.
Rich Moore makes his feature length directorial debut on this highly anticipated Disney/Pixar film. John C. Reilly provides the voice for the titular Ralph, a Donkey Kong-like villain in an old arcade game. After thirty years of being the villain, Ralph decides to abandon his game to venture out into other games and become a hero. Ralph’s opposite, Fix-It Felix Jr. (Jack McBrayer) must track down Ralph to prevent the game from being unplugged.
Warning: I generally avoid spoilers, but there will possibly be a few spoilers for early scenes in the film. I will also go very in depth on the short, Paperman.

Evil Dead (Remake) Trailer
Well it’s here.
I have to disagree with people that Evil Dead should have been remade, but this isn’t that remake. Yes, the original went all out for that true horror feel, but starting with Evil Dead 2 and continuing in Army of Darkness, the movies became more campy and bordered comedy. Watching this trailer, I’m reminded of Cabin in the Woods which to certain degree spoofs this entire scenario. I’m most disappointed in the gore porn direction this one is going in. And don’t get me wrong, the original had plenty of gore, but this one seems to be using the gore in a way movies like Saw and Hostel made popular. But no matter what I think, this one got the Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell stamp of approval.
Wreck-It Ralph’s Vintage Commercials
The nostalgia of the upcoming Disney movie Wreck-It Ralph just oozes out of every frame. Now the viral marketing for the movie comes out with three commercials for the fictional “Litwak’s Arcade.” Ahh, remember when arcades were everywhere with brand new games?

Iron Man 3 Trailer
The first official, full trailer for Iron Man 3 has just been released. From the trailer, we see that the franchise may have taken a darker turn especially since Robert Downey Jr. is not as humorous this time around. Not to mention all the destruction being inflicted on the Iron Man armors.
The trailer leaves a lot of questions up in the air for us to ponder until the May 3, 2013 release date.

Review of Paranormal Activity 4
Last night Natalia and me went to watch the fourth installment of the Paranormal Activity series. I have been a fan of these movies since I caught the first two back to back on DVD. I truly enjoy the back story as well as the horror that is not graphic like a few other gore-porn movies have done.
For this review keep in mind that I will probably spoil the first three movies, but I will avoid spoilers for this movie. Again, NO SPOILERS for Paranormal Activity 4.
How well did this fourth movie do? Hit the jump to find out what I think.
