blast-o-rama.

One of the most anticipated films of this Holiday season has to be The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

Directed by Terry Gilliam and featuring the final performance of Heath Ledger, with his scenes completed by Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law (you’ll understand), the film looks to be an absolute surreal fairy tale acid trip.  And luckily, it won’t be too long before it hits theaters.

Either way, Yahoo! got the exclusive trailer, which I’ve embedded above.  You better believe I’ll be there on Christmas Day when it releases.

This past weekend, the Woody Harrelson starring undead opus Zombieland hit theaters, and I think it’s safe to say, it’s probably, to me at least, one of the most fun movies this year.

Reveling in a fun world where the Zombie apocalypse has become more an annoyance than a detriment, it was a shot in the arm to the tired Zombie genre, making for possibly the best film of that style since Shaun of the Dead.  All I know for sure was I loved every minute of it.

And it seems that audiences took to it as well, with Zombieland taking the #1 spot at the box office, making $25 Million.

Luckily for all these new Zombieland fans, ideas for a sequel have already been tossed around. Infact, ideas for ELEVEN sequels exist.

See, Zombieland was originally pitched as a TV series, and the film script combined the first two episodes into one theatrical script.  And since the creative team had an entire 24 episode season planned, we may just see those ideas appear in multiple sequels to follow.

Should there be 12 Zombielands? I don’t think so. But I surely want to see another adventure with Columbus, Tallahassee and the gang. Sony, let’s give this a shot. But not 11 of them.

With the deluge of trailers, which culminated in a 5 minute sequence airing on something like 30 networks at the same time last week, I think it’s safe to say that everyone is aware of Roland Emmerich’s latest disaster-rama 2012.

And I think it’s really safe to say that people aren’t looking forward to the flick to see the effects, but rather take in some solid, Oscar caliber acting.

Luckily, some intrepid YouTube user took the 5 minute teaser clip from last week, and cut out all those useless effects, leaving us with nothing but Shakesperian level acting from John Cusack and Amanda Peet.

You can just SMELL the awards!
