Movies to check out: July Edition

Everyone enjoys a good movie. Whichever genre it may be; Horror, Action, Romance, or even Documentaries. But we here at The Spinner Rack are focusing on movies based on our pop culture icons. Comic Books, Video Games, Action Figures and Anime; we take a look at what's coming out for July and give you the rundown on what you should be waiting in line for.


Air, Water, Earth, Fire. Four nations tied by destiny when the Fire Nation launches a brutal war against the others. A century has passed with no hope in sight to change the path of this destruction. Caught between combat and courage, Aang (Noah Ringer) discovers he is the lone Avatar with the power to manipulate all four elements. Aang teams with Katara (Nicola Peltz), a Waterbender, and her brother, Sokka (Jackson Rathbone), to restore balance to their war-torn world.

 Based on the hugely successful Nickelodeon animated TV series, the live-action feature film “The Last Airbender” is the opening chapter in Aang’s struggle to survive. The Last Air Bender is due out in theaters on July 01


In a happy suburban neighborhood surrounded by white picket fences with flowering rose bushes, sits a black house with a dead lawn. Unbeknownst to the neighbors, hidden beneath this home is a vast secret hideout. Surrounded by a small army of minions, we discover Gru (voiced by Steve Carell), planning the biggest heist in the history of the world. He is going to steal the moon (Yes, the moon!) in Universal's new 3-D CGI feature, "Despicable Me." Gru delights in all things wicked. Armed with his arsenal of shrink rays, freeze rays, and battle-ready vehicles for land and air, he vanquishes all who stand in his way. Until the day he encounters the immense will of three little orphaned girls who look at him and see something that no one else has ever seen: a potential Dad. The world’s greatest villain has just met his greatest challenge: three little girls named Margo, Edith and Agnes. Despicable Me is due out in theaters on July 09


A group of elite warrior-types are being hunted by members of a race of merciless alien trackers called Predators. Predators due out in theaters on July 09


Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage) is a master sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan trying to defend the city from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina). Balthazar can't do it alone, so he recruits Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel), a seemingly average guy who demonstrates hidden potential, as his reluctant protégé. The sorcerer gives his unwilling accomplice a crash course in the art and science of magic, and together, these unlikely partners work to stop the forces of darkness. It'll take all the courage Dave can muster to survive his training, save the city and get the girl as he becomes THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE. The Sorcerer's Apprentice is due out in theaters on July 16

Red teaser trailer.

Red is an upcoming 2010 American action film based on the comic book limited series of the same name created by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner, and published by the DC Comics imprint Homage. The film will star Bruce Willis with Robert Schwentke directing a screenplay by Jon Hoeber and Erich Hoeber. The film is scheduled for worldwide release on October 15, 2010.



It gives preview to the normal, peaceful life of some retired CIA agents before they return in action, showing how they are still "dangerous".

Bruce's Frank Moses is a former black-ops CIA agent, who is now living a quiet life. That is, until the day a hi-tech assassin shows up intent on killing him. With his identity compromised and the life of the woman he cares for, Sarah, endangered, Frank reassembles his old team in a last ditch effort to survive.

Mary-Louise Parker plays Frank's wife, while Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman, and John Malkovich are Frank's teammates. Robert Schwentke directs it with the script provided by Erich Hoeber and Jon Hoeber. This action, which still presents some humors, will be distributed by Summit Entertainment in U.S. theaters on October 15.

Cover Art to next DC animated revealed, Superman/Batman: Apocalypse


Superman Homepage has learned that Warner Premiere's next DC Universe animated title Superman/Batman: Apocalypse will hit Blu-ray and DVD on September 28. The movie is based on the second story arc, "The Supergirl from Krypton," from Jeph Loeb and Michael Turner's the "Superman/Batman." So there is no question about whether to pick this up or not. Even though its Superman and Batman taking center stage again and I feel they may be heading towards overkill utilizing only mass marketed characters, but its based off of the story arc drawn by the late great Michael Turner. The third short film, featuring Green Arrow, is included with the upcoming Superman/Batman: Apocalypse with Neal McDonough as the voice of Green Arrow/Oliver Queen. Here is the cover artwork:

"Supernatural" anime

It was previously revealed that "Supernatural" brothers Sam and Dean Winchester are bringing their never-ending battle against the forces of Hell to an animated project called "Supernatural The Animation," slated for release at some point in January of next year. Now, we might have an idea of what that project could look like.


Alleged concept art from the "Supernatural" anime has popped up online over at Saouri's Window, showing possible preliminary character sketches of the Winchester boys, played on the CW series by Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. Official or not, it's still pretty wild to see Sam and Dean in illustrated form - really, if there was one currently airing live-action television series begging for an animated translation, it's "Supernatural." (Or "True Blood." Or "Fringe." Really, there are a bunch, but "Supernatural" is still a solid choice!)

According to Anime News, "Supernatural The Animation" is being produced by Japanese studio Madhouse and is co-directed by Shigeyuki Miya and Atsuko Ishizuka. "Supernatural" creator Eric Kripke will provide guidance on the series. The series will be released in two sets of 22 original episodes.

The Green Hornet trailer

Finally after so many leaked photos, we get a trailer for The Green Hornet. I gotta be honest here, I wasn't thrilled with Seth Rogen being cast as Britt Reid the alter ego to the Green Hornet and this trailer confirms that he may not be the right person for this role, especially when introducing the Green Hornet to this generation, with so many heroes already on the market Seth Rogen does little to make the Hornet stand out and even less to keep him from looking like a 4th rate generic hero instead of someone who went toe to toe with Batman (yes, that did happen!). I still have hope for Jay Chou as Kato, martial arts always wins. Any objections?

New cast to Walking Dead Tv series on AMC


Several new actors have joined the cast of The Walking Dead over the past few days. In addition to the recently announced Chandler Riggs as Carl Grimes, actors Linds Edwards and Jim Coleman have also reportedly signed on for roles in the currently shooting AMC adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s survival horror comic book series.

Both Edwards and Coleman are said to be playing new characters Leon Basset and Lambert “Lam” Kendal, respectively. The news was confirmed by Edwards himself in an interview with The Walking Dead Podcast, but the interview has since been pulled at the request of AMC.

Also recently announced was the casting of Emma Bell in the recurring role of a college student who seeks refuge with Rick Grimes and other survivors. Perhaps she’ll play Amy, the young sister to sharpshooter Andrea. In the comics, Andrea began as a mid-20s legal clerk, but the adaptation is adding a few years to the character with the casting of Laurie Holden in the role.

Snoop Dogg tribute to Sookie Stackhouse

HBO has been imaginative in its marketing of its hit series True Blood, using everything from posters and online “minisodes” to video blogs and comic books. But this latest effort is by far the best.

Behold the video for “Oh Sookie,” Snoop Dogg’s rap tribute to everyone’s favorite psychic waitress, Sookie Stackhouse. The song contains such moving lyrics as, “Come close, baby, I’m the Dogg that don’t bite (woof, woof),” “Come and play on my team/We’ll do it in the daytime/Bill won’t know a thing” and “Bill ain’t for real/He ain’t Tru Blood/Snoop is a G/I smoke true bud.”

Plus, as you can tell from the image above, the video features a troupe of dancing Sookies.

Black Panther coming to everyone digitally

Official Press Release

Marvel Knights Animation is proud to announce Black Panther: Who Is The Black Panther?, a twelve-episode, weekly, all-new series debuting on iTunes, Xbox LIVE, Microsoft Zune and PlayStation®Network on June 23rd.

Inspired by the acclaimed graphic novel from respected filmmaker/producer Reginald Hudlin and legendary comic book artist John Romita Jr, Black Panther: Who Is The Black Panther? introduces viewers to the Black Panther, the warrior king of Wakanda, a technologically advanced nation in the heart of Africa. As outside forces conspire to plunder this proud nation, the Black Panther will face his greatest threats as he meets Klaw, the man who murdered his father.

“The positive responses to news of the show have been so overwhelming, it’s great to finally make the Black Panther series available to everyone,” said Hudlin. “Audiences get caught up on many levels – seeing John Romita Jr’s art come to life; the quality of the voice work by an award winning cast; the boldness of the politics, the music and humor. But see it for yourself!”

Romita Jr added, “The reaction by any person, upon viewing footage of a black panther, is universal: Awe. There is no more elegant a creature on the face of the planet. The creation of the character by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, in a turbulent political time, maintained that quality. Reggie Hudlin's updated version follows that and adds an amazing, cinematic flair to it. In my opinion, reading, and now viewing, the Black Panther series is much akin to witnessing a panther in person. Enjoy the elegance of the story, the elegance of the actors, their voices, their words, and....the imagery.”

This exciting series also features the voices of major celebrities including Academy Award-nominee Djimon Hounsou as Black Panther; Jill Scott as Storm, Kerry Washington as Princess Shuri; Alfre Woodard as both Dondi Reese and Queen Mother; Carl Lumbly as Uncle S’Yan; and comics legend Stan Lee in a special role.

Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader

I never cared for C.S. Lewis’ Narnia novels, and I wasn’t particularly impressed with the first two installments in the current film series. But I have to admit the just-released trailer for the third adaptation, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, looks pretty good.

Here’s the official synopsis, courtesy of 20th Century Fox, which stepped in after Disney walked away from the franchise:

This time around — Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, along with their pesky cousin Eustace Scrubb — find themselves swallowed into a painting and on to a fantastic Narnian ship headed for the very edges of the world. Joining forces once again with their royal friend Prince Caspian and the warrior mouse Reepicheep, they are whisked away on a mysterious mission to the Lone Islands, and beyond. On this bewitching voyage that will test their hearts and spirits, the trio will face magical Dufflepuds, sinister slave traders, roaring dragons and enchanted merfolk. Only an entirely uncharted journey to Aslan’s Country — a voyage of destiny and transformation for each of those aboard the Dawn Treader — can save Narnia, and all the astonishing creatures in it, from an unfathomable fate.

Directed by Michael Apted, the film stars Georgie Henley, Skandar Keynes, Ben Barnes, Will Poulter, Gary Sweet, Bruce Spence, Arthur Angel, Shane Rangi and Liam Neeson. Voyage of the Dawn Treader opens in 3D and 2D on Dec. 10.

Scott Pilgrim International trailer

Another international trailer to Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, I'm as stoked about this movie as I was about "Kick Ass" and i know next to nothing about it. I know its based off of a graphic novel put out by Oni Press other than that i can give you the description after the jump.



Scott Pilgrim's life is totally sweet. He's 23 years old, in a rock band, "between jobs," AND dating a cute high school girl. Everything's fantastic until a seriously mind-blowing, dangerously fashionable, rollerblading delivery girl named Ramona Flowers starts cruising through his dreams and sailing by him at parties. Will Scott's awesome life get turned upside-down? Will he have to face Ramona's seven evil ex-boyfriends in battle? Short answer: yes.

Batman: Under the Red Hood tips the next DC animated film


DC has been killing it with their DC Universe Original Animated Movies like Green Lantern: First Flight and Wonder Woman, so we've got high hopes for Batman: Under The Red Hood, which is based on a series of comics written by Judd Winick back in 2005 that brought back formerly dead Robin Jason Todd as an imbalanced anti-hero with his sites set on Gotham's criminal underground. Box art for Batman: Under the Red Hood has revealed DC Entertainment's next full-length animated movie which will, again, showcase Batman and Superman.

The film, which comes out on DVD and Blu-ray on July 27th will have a slew of extras including a short film focusing the spotlight on scarred cowboy Jonah Hex, with the special edition DVD boasting a history of Robin and the Blu-ray looking at how Todd got the axe thanks to fans back in the '80s. The film itself will star Batman (Bruce Greenwood), Nightwing (Neil Patrick Harris), Red Hood (Jensen Ackles), The Joker (John DiMaggio) and even Ra's al Ghul (Jason Isaacs) and Black Mask (Wade Willams). It'll be interesting to see how a straight-up adaptation of a somewhat controversial Batman story will go!

Several eagle-eyed comic fans have spotted the title of DC's next animated film on the back cover of the Amazon.com Exclusive Blu-Ray edition of Batman: Under the Red Hood.



"First Look: Superman/Batman: Apocalypse - Exclusive Sneak Peak at DC Universe's Next Original Animated Movie"

Recent internet chatter revolves around the assumption the title itself may hint at the debut of either Darkseid or Supergirl. There is no official word from Warner Bros. entertainment which comics story line the movie will follow, if any. This will be the fourth animated film highlighting a Superman and Batman team-up. Speculation as to this latest film's plot will be put to rest come July 27th, 2010, when Batman: Under the Red Hood becomes available for purchase.

DC Entertainment has two animated short films already planned, Jonah Hex and Green Arrow, which will accompany their full length features. There is also a rumored Batman: Year One adaptation in the works.

Jonah Hex Clips

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World clip

Another clip from the MTV Movie Awards of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, really amped up for this movie. can't wait! Scott Pilgrim due in theaters August 13th



Meet charming and jobless Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera). A bass guitarist for garage band Sex Bob-omb, the 22-year-old has just met the girl of his dreams...literally. The only catch to winning Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead)? Her seven evil exes are coming to kill him. Genre-smashing filmmaker Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) tells the amazing story of one romantic slacker's quest to power up with love in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

Scott Pilgrim has never had a problem getting a girlfriend. It's getting rid of them that proves difficult. From the girl who kicked his heart's ass—and now is back in town—to the teenage distraction he's trying to shake when Ramona rollerblades into his world, love hasn't been easy. He soon discovers, however, his new crush has the most unusual baggage of all: a nefarious league of exes controls her love life and will do whatever it takes to eliminate him as a suitor.

As Scott gets closer to Ramona, he must face an increasingly vicious rogues' gallery from her past—from infamous skateboarders to vegan rock stars and fearsome identical twins. And if he hopes to win his true love, he must vanquish them all before it really is game over.

Fantasy Adventure. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," the seventh and final adventure in the Harry Potter film series, is a much-anticipated motion picture event to be told in two full-length parts. Part 1 begins as Harry, Ron and Hermione set out on their perilous mission to track down and destroy the secret to Voldemort's immortality and destruction--the Horcruxes. On their own, without the guidance of their professors or the protection of Professor Dumbledore, the three friends must now rely on one another more than ever. But there are Dark Forces in their midst that threaten to tear them apart. Meanwhile, the wizarding world has become a dangerous place for all enemies of the Dark Lord. The long-feared war has begun and Voldemort's Death Eaters seize control of the Ministry of Magic and even Hogwarts, terrorizing and arresting anyone who might oppose them. But the one prize they still seek is the one most valuable to Voldemort: Harry Potter. The Chosen One has become the hunted one as the Death Eaters search for Harry with orders to bring him to Voldemort...alive. Harry's only hope is to find the Horcruxes before Voldemort finds him. But as he searches for clues, he uncovers an old and almost forgotten tale--the legend of the Deathly Hallows. And if the legend turns out to be true, it could give Voldemort the ultimate power he seeks. Little does Harry know that his future has already been decided by his past when, on that fateful day, he became "the Boy Who Lived." No longer just a boy, Harry Potter is drawing ever closer to the task for which he has been preparing since the day he first stepped into Hogwarts: the ultimate battle with Voldemort.

Everyone enjoys a good movie. Which ever genre it may be, Horror, Action, Romance, or even Documentaries. But we here at The Spinner Rack are focusing on movies based on our pop culture icons. Comic Books, Video Games, Action Figures and Anime; we take a look at what's coming out for June and give you the rundown on what you should be waiting in line for.


Like the original series, the story follows the adventures of four U.S. Army Special Forces soldiers-turned-mercenaries, three of whom were arrested for a crime they did not commit and are now branded war criminals. After managing to escape from military prison, the three join forces with Captain H.M. Murdock, their reconnaissance pilot, as soldiers of fortune. The A-Team is scheduled for a June 11th release date.


In Columbia Pictures' The Karate Kid, 12-year-old Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) could've been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother's (Taraji P. Henson) latest career move has landed him in China. Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying—and the feeling is mutual—but cultural differences make such a friendship impossible. Even worse, Dre's feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng. In the land of kung fu, Dre knows only a little karate, and Cheng puts “the karate kid” on the floor with ease. With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), who is secretly a master of kung fu. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life. The Karate Kid is scheduled for a June 11th release date.


The creators of the beloved “Toy Story” films re-open the toy box and bring moviegoers back to the delightful world of Woody, Buzz and our favorite gang of toy characters in TOY STORY 3.

In the third installment, Andy is preparing to depart for college, leaving his loyal toys troubled about their uncertain future. Toy Story 3 is scheduled for a June 18th release date.


As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob — knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf.

Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is a thrilling action-packed adventure set in four dramatically different universes from legendary Spider-Man lore, each with a distinct Spider-Man armed with unique skills and strengths, in one original storyline. Players will be transported to new locations never before seen in a Spider-Man game, from lush jungles and dusty deserts to various urban terrains. Acclaimed comic book writer Dan Slott takes players on a mission to contain the magical energy of the Tablet of Order and Chaos, which has been shattered and sent hurtling across parallel universes, and battle fan-favorite villains in a quest to restore the fabric of reality.

New Scott Pilgrim vs. the world trailer



Meet charming and jobless Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera). A bass guitarist for garage band Sex Bob-omb, the 22-year-old has just met the girl of his dreams...literally. The only catch to winning Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead)? Her seven evil exes are coming to kill him. Genre-smashing filmmaker Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) tells the amazing story of one romantic slacker's quest to power up with love in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

Scott Pilgrim has never had a problem getting a girlfriend. It's getting rid of them that proves difficult. From the girl who kicked his heart's ass—and now is back in town—to the teenage distraction he's trying to shake when Ramona rollerblades into his world, love hasn't been easy. He soon discovers, however, his new crush has the most unusual baggage of all: a nefarious league of exes controls her love life and will do whatever it takes to eliminate him as a suitor.

As Scott gets closer to Ramona, he must face an increasingly vicious rogues' gallery from her past—from infamous skateboarders to vegan rock stars and fearsome identical twins. And if he hopes to win his true love, he must vanquish them all before it really is game over.
