Ok so nowadays I don't get to excited anymore about upcoming movie releases, especially after last years dismal showing of pure crapola. That's all about to change, I hope, for the upcoming year.
First up is "Battle Los Angeles" and it looks like a strong contestant for blockbuster status. I first read about this movie almost two years ago and the premise intrigued me. To the best of my knowledge its never been done before at least not on this scale. It appears to go where we wished "Independence Day" and "War of the Worlds" would have but didn't. I'm talking about a hardcore, urban warfare, Marines in the streets movie where they fight aliens. If you've seen the trailers then you know what I'm talking about. All I can say is, finally!
In the last few days they have released two short clips, not trailers mind you, but clips from the movie. I will try and post later of possible. All I can say is it seemed to combine "Blackhawk Down" with any alien invasion movie that comes to mind.
I'm super psyched to see this, more so than I can remember being for a movie in a long time. I love movies but American cinema has been sorely lacking on many levels the last few years. If it wasn't for foreign movies lately I may have lost my love. Here's to hoping Hollywood is back doing what it does best, entertaining.
