Pursuit of Dopeness

A new Anchorman 2 trailer has been released, this time it’s finally showing footage from the new film. Apparently, Ron Burgundy and the boys are on a mission to try and take over the 80s. A few classic, inappropriate remarks from Burgundy and you’ve got yourself a clip that only leaves you wanting more.

See it above.

Kanye West has released a new commercial for his album that was inspired by American Psycho.  Check out the short film starring Scott Disick and Johnathan Cheban by clicking on the image above. You can also now download the album on Kanye’s site as well.

 We were lucky enough to be invited to a private screening of “Doin’ It In The Park” last night at the ICON Theater thanks to the great people at Nike. The film was directed by Bobbito Garcia and Kevin Couliau; and they were actually on hand to answer a couple of the audience’s questions as soon as the film ended. The film featured New York City’s Pick-Up Basketball scene and it’s history. Bobbito and Kevin got on their bicycles and peddled all over New York City and explored the history, culture, and social impact of New York’s summer b-ball scene, widely recognized as the worldwide “Mecca” of the sport. Bobbito and Kevin interviewed street hooping legends, NBA Players, and the regular common basketball player at each courtyard. The greatest quote in the documentary that hit the whole audience was, “You can play high school or college for four years. You can play Pro for a decade. You can play pick-up … for life.” This documentary is a must see for anyone who has played a pickup game outside. The film is actually set to publicly release here in Chicago tomorrow at the ICE Lawndale Theater (3330 W. Roosevelt Road) at 7PM until June 20th. If you aren’t able to catch it in theaters, you can download the movie for $9.99 by CLICKING HERE!

The official trailer for the sequel to Zach Snyder’s 300 has been released. This will definitely be a must-see film. Check out the intense trailer for 300: The Rise of An Empire up above. The film hits theaters March 2014.

Based on Frank Miller’s latest graphic novel Xerxes, and told in the breathtaking visual style of the blockbuster “300,” this new chapter of the epic saga takes the action to a fresh battlefield—on the sea—as Greek general Themistokles attempts to unite all of Greece by leading the charge that will change the course of the war.

“300: Rise of an Empire” pits Themistokles against the massive invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes, and Artemisia, vengeful commander of the Persian navy.

 

 

Say what you will, but this new Man Of Steel trailer seriously has me excited for the film. Nokia released this new trailer for the movie and it looks a lot more action-packed with all signs pointing to the new Superman movie as an epic one. See it above.

Thank you, Nokia!

Have you seen this new trailer for the new Superman movie, Man Of Steel? It’s epic. In this new clip we see Zod, the menacing General from Krypton, threaten Earth to capture/turn-in Clark Kent or else face certain doom. The scenes that appear on this trailer are crisp and action-packed.

As superhero blockbusters come, the quality of this film looks to compete with the likes of The Avengers, the Iron Man trilogy, and maybe even the highly-regarded The Dark Knight trilogy. Check out the trailer for yourself above and I dare you not to get excited over this one.

Add-2 has released a new mini-documentary that gives us an inside look at his everyday life.  This is a pretty cool video and you can’t help but root for Add-2 to get the respect he deserves. Check out the clip shot and edited by Domiv up above.

The opening line puts it best… “Jesus… Jay-Z. The great ones always return.” The new trailer for Anchorman: The Legend Continues is very similar to the previous one with each member of the newscast giving out a line about themselves to help tease the new film, with a special message from Ron Burgundy at the end. See the new trailer above.

Movies that come from comic books are more than normal nowadays, but the Superman franchise has been on the silver screen for decades. The latest successes of films about comic book superheros like Spiderman, Iron Man, The Avengers and (my personal favorite) Batman have prompted the people behind the original superhero to reboot the franchise and give the world a film to help it compete. This new trailer demonstrates that the Christopher Nolan-produced (Director of The Dark Knight films) film will be epic and one to look forward to. Check it out above!
