Tag archive: Harrison Ford

But he’s… And that’s… Well this is it, the internet has officially maxed out its awesome quota. If you don’t know why Harrison Ford–star of among other things, the Indiana Jones trilogy (Yes, trilogy, the fourth movie never happened.  It never happened!!), playing Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, a game that is basically a modern Indiana Jones retelling–is awesome, then we can’t be friends anymore. In the video released by Sony for… Read More

The much-discussed Blu-Ray collection of Star Wars: The Complete Saga arrives on shelves next week, and while we got an early peek at some of the bonus features courtesy of the Star Wars iOS app, we now have a peek at one of the deleted scenes found on the collection, too. The cut scene premiered over at EW.com, and features Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) having yet another one of their rife-with-sexual-tension spats.… Read More

When Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner was first released in 1982, it was hailed as a modern day “meh.” The film was only a moderate success following a disappointing opening weekend, and most audiences initially overlooked it—which isn’t all that surprising when you consider that it opened against Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, John Carpenter's The Thing and E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. Critics were also somewhat split on it, but… Read More

First off, Cowboys & Aliens is not a bad film. How could it be? You take two of Hollywood’s favorite topics — cowboys and aliens, then mix. You might as well make a movie combining wizards and superheroes and watch the box office numbers explode. Maybe it could also star a Hollywood legend, one of the biggest A-list actors currently working, and an up and coming starlet who is stunningly beautiful, just as Cowboys & Aliens did.… Read More

If aliens ever visit Earth, we should probably hide all the movies, especially those from the last few years. It might be tough to explain in a first contact situation why we have spent decades fantasizing about killing extraterrestrials in new and increasingly spectacular ways.  It used to be easy. The Soviet Union—or some form of nefarious communists—were the enemies, and it was the righteous duty of heroic Americans to smite them. But now… Read More

There are too many alien invasion movies coming out this year, but at least one of them balances things out with a little western flair. A new short trailer for Cowboys & Aliens debuted during the Super Bowl last night, showing a lot more alien spaceships and a lot more horses and saloons getting blown to pieces. Check it out below. Cowboys & Aliens is directed by Jon Favreau, best known for heading up the first two Iron Man films and… Read More

Even though the summer movies of 2011 won’t come out until, well, summer of 2011 obviously, now is the time of year when films begin to slowly feed the hype machines in order to generate some early buzz by releasing trailers. Green Lantern just released the first official trailer, and not to be outdone, Jon Favreau (Iron Man 1&2, Zathura), Universal and Dreamworks have dropped the trailer for one of their summer 2011 blockbuster, Cowboys… Read More

It's possible Google surprised absolutely no one: at his keynote today at the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show, Google co-founder Larry Page took the wraps off the Google Video Store, officially putting the Internet giant in the content distribution business. Expected to be available “shortly,” the Google Video Store will enable users to buy or rent video content provided by independent producers and film makers, along with… Read More
