The newest “Twilight: Breaking Dawn” vampire has been announced. If you haven’t read the books, chances are the character’s name, Benjamin, will mean little to you. He is going to be played by 29 year old actor Rami Malek, who is best known for his role as Egyptian Pharaoh Ahkmenrah in the movie “Night at the Museum,” and for his role in the Emmy award winning miniseries ”The Pacific.” His special vampire power is being able to manipulate the elements of the earth, such as stone, water etc. Let’s hope he can manipulate the acting on his costars.

For those who are crazy about the series, the leaking of the trailer would probably be similar to Christmas morning. To all others, it will be a good look at an action flick that is sure to be pretty amazing.

You can check out the leaked content here at Cinemablend.com, but hurry because it might not be on the internet forever!

1. Bad Acting
2. Lack of character development
3. Non-realistic relationships (and I’m not talking about the non-human kind)
4. Unbelievable characters

I can accept the New York Times putting the Twilight books on their Bestseller’s list, but what fact I can’t accept is each woman’s unhealthy obsession with such mediocre acting and cinematography.

Honestly, the characters are attractive, male and female alike, but none can act. There is nothing I can’t stand more than a movie franchise that is popular mainly for the looks of its actors, and not the depth of the plot. Go to any blog and what do you hear? I bunch of overly hormonal teenage girls talking about how much they’re in love with Jacob or Edward, NOT what is actually HAPPENING in the movie. I’m frustrated. I’m convinced if you just showed still images of each with their shirts off for 2 hours you’d still sell just as many tickets.

And yes, I guess I am speaking from a biased perspective, but I can’t stand how much in love so many women are in with Edward. In real life, if I had a girl obsess over me as much as Belle does with him, it’d freak me out. And for Jacob, if I had any friend who would hold on so hopelessly to a woman who doesn’t want him, I’d call him pathetic. Move on man. You’re attractive. I’m sure you can find someone with a little more personality than Belle anyways.

A combination of bad acting and a lack of real people that I can relate with makes the movies a total bomb. Please people, grow some brains and wake up to reality. Twilight isn’t THAT good.

Crazy fans aside, skeptics must admit that Lautner has played a huge role in skyrocketing this mediocre series to the top of the box office. In all honestly, who would want to see a pale, hairy vampire when they could see a shirtless, tanned werewolf?

It’s Jacob versus Edward.

Any votes for the vampire? Anyone? Anyone? ….. That’s what I thought.

Taylor’s good looks have the producers laughing all the way to the bank. The movie Twilight grossed over $70 million in its opening weekend. The sequel, New Moon, more than doubled those earnings, pulling in $142 million opening weekend. The third part in the series, Eclipse, was just shy at over $121 million in the first three days of opening. Looks like Lautner’s muscular back pulled in some serious greenbacks.

So regardless of your level of devotion to the world of vampires and werewolves, people can’t deny that Taylor Lautner is a hot commodity. Now pass the popcorn and enjoy the trailer for the latest addition to the saga, Eclipse.

Starring Jesse Eisenberg and Justin Timberlake, The Social Network will chronicle the story of two Harvard undergraduates that created the social network of Facebook to be able to feel included in the exclusive clubs of the school.

Check out this trailer for The Social Network. It looks like an interesting film that definitely doesn’t follow the same normal formula as other movies out there right now.

Inception does all of that by being one of the most brilliant movies I’ve ever seen. I won’t go into details for those of you who haven’t seen it yet, but it is essentially a combination of “The Matrix” and “Dark Night”, and yes, this movie is greater than the sum of its parts.

Reviewers have called it a “thinking man’s movie” but don’t let that turn you off. Anyone with a brain can follow the plot line given they don’t talk during it. Turning to the person next to you to ask for clarification will only put you farther behind. Every sentence in Director Nolan’s masterpiece is important.

In Inception Nolan takes you into the world of dreams as lead Leonardo DiCaprio (Cobb) works to break into the subconscious of Cillian Murphy (Robert Fisher). As DiCaprio digs deeper and deeper into Murphy’s mind though, he soon finds his own subconscious at work, leading him on a chase to uncover truth and resolve the conflicts of his own past.

What makes this movie brilliant though is how it draws the audience in. the first 30 minutes will entertain you. The next hour will make you start asking questions, and by the end, you will leave the theater just as confused as the characters in the story as to what is and what isn’t reality.

Nolan has done it once again in Inception, a brilliantly crafted blockbuster that will leave you wanting to see it again and again. For those of you who prefer to wait and rent, don’t. Either see it now, or buy it later.

The new film Company Men, which hits theaters on October 22nd, has in its ranks a plethora of big-time actors: Ben Affleck, Tommy Lee Jones, Chris Cooper, and Kevin Costner. It’s a drama that focuses on several men that all get laid off from their jobs because of corporate downsizing. The film looks at how this turn of events affects these men’s lives and families.

Usually, I’m not very excited for dramas to come out, but this one looks smart and heartfelt; and with an all-star cast I’m hoping that it is just that. Below is the trailer for Company Men. Enjoy!

The first Predator was extremely popular, but any attempt by Hollywood to milk more money out of the character proved to turn sour. Predator 2, and both Alien vs. Predator films bombed. Many people thought that the new Predators movie would suffer the same fate. But it hasn’t…

It has received mainly positive reviews, which tell that it stays true to the original story while giving it a fresh new spin. One other aspect of the movie that was surprising was the main star, Adrien Brody. Many thought that he wouldn’t fit the bill because of his more serious roles in the past.

But he surprised everybody, and most critics agree that he does a superb job. If you have time this weekend, go see this movie!

To read a review of the film, go to cinemablend.com

People came away from the movie very happy and pleased with the outcome. Many even came away with tear stains and little sniffles, because for many this movie was a tear-jerker. Oddly enough, the movies that make us cry are the ones we tend to love the most and say are the best. The ones that make us cry must hit in a very sensitive spot causing our emotions to explode and really “hitting home” causing us to feel that the movie really relates to us. For those of you who have not seen this movie, come prepared to cry or at least to feel very emotionally connected with the movie. Very good movie.
