Grayson

Note, I recommend the High Res 60MB version of this if you are at all interested beyond the first 30 seconds. The YouTube version is here for the lazy and/or bandwidth challenged
A fan written script about a post Batman era Dick Grayson led to the creation of this trailer. The trailer is a bit long and pretty much tells the overall scope of the story. Batman is gone, but villains rise up again in his absence. Grayson re-dons the guise of Robin to fight crime in Gotham City once more. Cameo appearances come from Wonder Woman, Superman, Green Lantern, Batgirl and more.
In watching the trailer it’s obviously amateur in it’s portrayal of nearly the whole of the story in a fully linear manner. Trailers need to make you want to find out what happens and get excited about potential, I feel like I know way too much after watching this, but of course this can be forgiven as it seems unlikely this film will ever be produced in it’s entirety anyway… I didn’t read the script, so I’d hope it’s development is a touch more mature. I want to want more from this, but don’t…
I can partially understand the appeal of this as a popular internet phenomenon, it is good in a generally poor area of fan created action/adventure films.

DOA: Dead or Alive Movie
September 7, 2006 | 2 Comments
I love movies where girls rip out and kick butt! There is something intrinsically wonderful about female action heroes. Honestly I had not even considered DOA: Dead or Alive as being a movie I was remotely interested in… until I saw this video clip, aptly titled “How to put on a bra”:
How To Put On A Bra 101 - video powered by Metacafe
This of course prompted me to seek out the full trailer:
This is so flippin’ sweet! In general movies based off video games stink. I understand, trust me. This does look like a ton of fun though. It also includes a bunch of relatively unknown actresses who I really like, including: Devon Aoki (Miho from Sin City), Jaime Pressly (Joy from My Name is Earl), and Sarah Carter (Alicia from Smallville).
I hope somewhere local actually gets this movie. As of right now, the release date is slated as today, but I can’t find anywhere within a 100 miles that is listing it…
