Warner Bros. Pictures has released the new movie trailer for its upcoming action epic The Dark Knight Rises, and it is… epic. Everything about this movie – save for Bane’s voice, which still sounds goofy – indicates that it is going to be just as incredible as everyone expects it to be. But why are you still reading?

Headhunters is a pulse-pounding nonstop action thrill ride with plenty of intrigue thrown in.  The middle 45 minutes of this film is by far the most fun I’ve had at the movies all year.

The Raven, starring John Cusack, lurks its way into theaters on April 27, 2012!

The macabre and lurid tales of Edgar Allan Poe are vividly brought to life – and death – in this stylish, gothic thriller starring John Cusack as the infamous author. When a madman begins committing horrific murders inspired by Poe’s darkest works, a young Baltimore detective (Luke Evans) joins forces with Poe in a quest to get inside the killer’s mind in order to stop him from making every one of Poe’s brutal stories a blood chilling reality.  A deadly game of cat and mouse ensues, which escalates when Poe’s love (Alice Eve, She’s Out of My League) becomes the next target. Intrepid Pictures’ The Raven also stars Brendan Gleeson (In Bruges) and Oliver Jackson-Cohen (Faster).

Universal Pictures recently released the movie trailer for Oliver Stone’s upcoming action-thriller Savages, about two seemingly peaceful drug dealers who go on a rampage when their shared girlfriend (played by scorching-as-always Blake Lively) is kidnapped by a Mexican drug cartel. It’s a situation most of us can relate to.

Foreign films are cool. Because they’re foreign, and they speak foreign languages, and they have plots you’d never see in America, like Bullhead, about a steroid-fueled cattle farmer named Jacky Vanmarsenille who gets involved with a criminal meat trader (those exist?) and is forced to face his tragic childhood as federal agents begin to investigate an assassination of one of their colleagues… Who comes up with this stuff?

Last time Johnny Depp took on a Hunter S. Thompson adaptation, he was Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. In The Rum Diary, he’s simply lost in Puerto Rico, which isn’t nearly as wild of a ride. At times entertaining, but generally forgettable, The Rum Diary‘s only saving grace is that it also stars the face and body of Amber Heard.

The Texas Killing Fields is about a serial killer. It’s been a while since a really good serial killer movie came along – well, one not directed by David Fincher (who did Seven, Zodiac and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) – and unfortunately the trend continues. Drab, uninteresting and featuring an unremarkable villain, there’s a reason why you’ve never heard of The Texas Killing Fields.

Marty is writing a movie called Seven Psychopaths, but he doesn’t want it to be violent. His best friend Billy informs him that that’s impossible: the movie is about seven psychopaths. Billy is right. Seven Psychopaths is a fun, funny and absurd movie, but it is not for the faint of heart.

I am 29 years old. I am single. It’s Thursday night as I write this, and I should be out at the bars hitting on beautiful women, or at least lusting after them from afar. Instead, I’m sitting at home writing a stupid review about a stupid movie, thinking about what could have been had I not chosen to go watch Man on the Ledge, a mildly entertaining but laughably dumb crime thriller starring Sam Worthington.
