The official trailer for Resident Evil: Afterlife has been released (and can be viewed below). I can’t think of another awesome video game franchise that has had the misfortune to be butchered for four (count them, four) horrible film adaptations.

In Afterlife, writer/director Paul W.S. Hack Anderson continues the journey of Alice (aka his wife Milla Jovovich), who attempts to help survivors find a safe haven. This time they try going to Los Angeles, which is (you guessed it!) overrun by horrible looking CGI zombies. Will they survive?

I give Anderson’s Resident Evil film series a lot of shit, but they have entered the class of being so bad that I enjoy them. Will I see Afterlife in theaters? Hell no. But I’m sure I’ll enjoy it some day via Netflix or HBO.

Happy Holidays everyone! We’ll keep updating through New Years, just at a bit of a slower rate (as we have been this past week). Thanks for checking out the site!

• Owen Wilson provides the voice for the newspaper comic strip dog turned movie Marmaduke. Sadly, his voice and the opening shot makes me think its Marley and Me 2. Click here to give it a look. Did anyone know they were making the dog talk?

• After 23 years Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins have split up. What? Seriously? I guess no Hollywood couples are safe, no matter how long they’ve been together or how happy they seem.  On a side note, Sarandon is wonderful in The Lovely Bones. She deserves some Oscar supporting actress love.

• Warner Brothers have released a synopsis for their DC Comics adaptation of the Losers.  “An explosive tale of double cross and revenge, The Losers centers upon the members of an elite U.S. Special Forces unit sent into the Bolivian jungle on a search and destroy mission. The team — Clay, Jensen, Roque, Pooch and Cougar — find themselves the target of a lethal betrayal instigated from inside by a powerful enemy known only as Max. Presumed dead, the group makes plans to even the score when they’re joined by the mysterious Aisha, a beautiful operative with her own agenda. Working together, they must remain deep undercover while tracking the heavily-guarded Max, a ruthless man bent on embroiling the world in a new high-tech global war.”

• There are a lot of movies opening this weekend! For the older crowd we have Maryl Streep and Alec Baldwin in It’s Complicated.  For the kiddies there is Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel.  For the ladies there is the musical Nine. For the guys there is the action re-invention of Sherlock Holmes from Guy Ritchie. And for both kinds of adults we have Up in the Air with George Clooney expanding, and Heath Ledger’s final film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

Hey everyone, trying to keep things fresh with a new logo as we approach the end of the year. TV is mostly taking a break, but this is about the time we get a big push in theaters. We have at least 5 big films hitting theaters on Christmas alone.

• I’m still shaking my head over the success of New Moon.  The sheer fact that the movie could open so huge when the first film was easily one of the most poorly put together films in recent memory disappoints me.  The only bright side is the fact that they might make Breaking Dawn, which sounds hysterical.

• This week I’ll be seeing Up in the Air in theaters, and so should you. Jason Reitman + George Cloony = Awesome.

• Funny Video: The gang over at College Humor take on a Grease classic.

• Interested in casting your favorite stars and releasing your dream movie? Then you should try Hollywood the Game. The Internet’s longest running Hollywood Simulation Game and Community.

• This week from DC Comics is Superman: World of New Krypton #10.  The series, which pulled Superman from Earth, has been one of the best stories featuring big blue in a long time. Maybe all he needed was to be away from the constant crossovers of the DCU. You can check out a preview for the new issue on DC Comic’s official site.

• FOX’s 24 will be returning for two nights of episodes on Sunday, January 17th at 9pm and Monday, January 18th.  The network’s main powerhouse American Idol will be returning the same week (also for two episodes), on Tuesday, January 12th and Wednesday, January 13th at 8pm.

I’m geeked out about this movie in the past, but now we actually have footage for Universal Soldier: Regeneration! Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren are back and will try to kill each other again, in a sequel to one of my favorite childhood action films. Here is the trailer…

Joining the action legends is UFC Fighter Andrei Arlovski. Sadly, the film will not be hitting theaters. I thought this would be Jean-Claudes best chance to have an action film how it was meant to be seen on the big screen, but I guess I was wrong. It is currently available for pre-order on Amazon.

A new teaser for the Family Guy spin-off The Cleveland Show has been released! The new Seth MacFarlane series premieres on September 27th at 8:30pm on Fox.

NBC has released a new preview for their upcoming new fall comedy, Community. The new series stars one of the funniest men on television, The Soup‘s Joel McHale, as a fast talking lawyer who gets his degree removed and is forced to go back to community college. Chevy Chase is co-starring in the series, along with Danny Pudi, Gillian Jacobs, John Oliver, Donald Glover, Yvette Nicole Brown, and Alison Brie. The series premieres on Thursday, September 17th at 9:30pm.

While we might not get many new shows during the summer, at least we get some really good ones, like Burn Notice (and it helps that Bruce “The Chin” Campbell co-stars in the series).  The series has a great blend of action, drama and comedy. It airs at 9pm on the USA Network. In tonight’s episode, Michael infiltrates a gang to try to take down a dangerous and sought-after criminal, while Sam’s past catches up with him. Yeah, I have no idea how the above picture ties into the episode.

• TNT: Wedding Day (Reality)
