Our favorite alien anti heroes are back and with an appetite for scoring some human skulls to their accounts. Using homo sapiens as game like Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, Walton Goggins and Laurence Fishburne is what the bloody sport is all about. Now, what makes Predators so entertaining to watch?

1   When survival is a bliss. Expecting a group of bad ass mercenaries fighting and praying for not becoming the ultimate prey is a blast. Go Predators!

2   Oh boy it’s not our planet its theirs!  Forget any chance of hope and rescue as the meaningless humans fight quite a few galaxies far away from home.

3   Is that a Predator bird of prey?! Wait, is that a Predator hound dog?! Wow! New kinds of alien wild beasts enter the hunting party. Cool huh?

4   Dreadful Predators are back! This means new breeds of Predator slayers appear at the killzone with all the gore and blood that we used to love.

5   Morbid is never underrated especially when it comes to Predators as they play with tormented earthlings. Let’s see which human wins the Arnold Schwarzenegger trophy

Who’s your favorite last man standing Mr. Predator?

Expect no Oscar nominees nor best movie in Cannes for this upcoming flick, however expect mucho macho hot stuff and tons of testosterone as The Expendables blast the big screen on August 13.

Hell yeah! I The action hot shots of the 80’s-90’s like: Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Eric Roberts and Arnold Schwarzenegger

team up with the new gen ass kickers like Jason Statham, Jet Li, Randy Couture, Steve Austin and Terry Crews into a shockwave of your best mercenaries served Á la carte.

Betrayals, thrills and high octane action is the name of the game when this band of brothers fight as soldiers of fortune among the explosive plot. With out a doubt Stallone’s Expendables will be fun and entertaining to watch, but really expect no great drama acting. This movie is not for the cheesy nor the wimps at blood. The Expendables is all about calling your best buddies, have a boys night out, get to see the movie and then grab a few beers and say: “Dude, thank God for The Expendables, is what separates the men from Sex and The City“.

Art comes in many ways, but the way Tranquili has captured and portrayed it, saves anybody’s day even though if it’s for Superman’s sake.

He’s the Michael Jackson, Air Jordan and Stan Lee of digital art, his name: Nico Di Mattia. People like Di Mattia don’t happen twice in life, and when they do come before our eyes, the best thing to do is to honor and salute their work. Here’s to you a tribute to the extraordinary hand and illustration wits of Nicco Di Mattia.

Can your eyesight catchup with the art?

So the score is about to get even as Iron Man walks in for its second delivery. It’s the ultimate battle of superheroes: Stark Industries vs Wayne Enterprises, cockiness vs disguised, player vs detective, power machine vs vigilante… when the two moguls of Marvel and DC Comics go one to one as sequels tie up the match.

It’s no news that Chris Nolan’s The Dark Knight franchise has risen the bar for every  super hero dude that pretends to jump into the big screen in how things should be done when understanding the true brand character of a particular hero. Nolan’s work has settled the superhero benchmark for many directors, that become lost in translation when trying to top the record.

Spidey, Hulk 1, Fantastic Four, Superman among other underdogs have failed in doing so. However coincidences of fortune or not, Jon Favreau’s vision of Iron Man, has reached Dark Knight level. It seems that Favreau is the prodigy child for Marvel. Voila, at last! A director that understands the branding of a superhero and what makes him and his surroundings truthful for the fans.  As good as it gets, we are only weeks away of seeing if Iron Man 2 goes on par quality of Gotham’s Caped Crusader or if it only auto destructs in the attempt.

Trick or treating will come early this year as grizzly ghouls and freaky creatures lurk into monster land Indianapolis with hunger of terrorizing you. So ready your goose bumps and let chills run freely down your spine as you walk at your own risk into the horror of THE FIRST ANNUAL FAMOUS MONSTERS CONVENTION to be held in Indianapolis, Indiana, July 9-11, 2010.

Thomas Jane (The Mist, Punisher) , Derek Mears and additional cast members from this summer’s 20th Century Fox release Predators, a Night Of The Living Dead reunion featuring eight original cast members, and a Nightmare on Elm Street series reunion with Heather Langenkamp and Mark Patton are among the initial line up of guests FM has invited for the first annual FMC. Horror legends Tom Savini, Bill Moseley, and Herschell Gordon Lewis will also be in attendance to celebrate this memorable FM launch.  A complete guest list can be found at www.famousmonstersconvention.com.

To accommodate already increasing demands, Famous Monsters has secured additional convention floor space for our monstrous event. “Friday night’s VIP Blood Red Pool Party and the Beauty Pageant sponsored by Girls and Corpses are just a few of the highlights for the weekend,” said Philip Kim, Senior Manager of Famous Monsters. “The winner of the beauty pageant will receive a photo spread in an upcoming issue of both Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine and Girls and Corpses magazine.”

The Famous Monsters Convention will be held at the Wyndham Indianapolis West, located at 2544 Executive Drive, Indianapolis, IN. Ticket pricing, hotel accommodations, and a schedule of events are available at www.famousmonstersconvention.com.

Got horror?

On 2011 Captain Steve Rogers will receive the call of duty call for touring into the hatred tentacles of the Third Reich back to insane era of WW II. Yep, Nomad is in for a wild ride as he goes one on one with Hitler´s hordes not to mention his most challenging nemesis: The Red Skull. So the panorama for Joe Jhonston´s  First Avenger film seems quite clear; Steve Rogers becomes The Cap, The Cap disembarks in Naziland and all hell breaks loose against Der Red Skull and any of Hitler´s goons. That easy? Definitely not.

If The Cap blows up the blockbuster charts, and hope he does… Then sure thing Marvel will deploy more Captain America sequels into the view, summoning new villains and allies on the big screen. This said, one thing is clear, due to the super soldier serum, Nomad is one hell of a super soldier, but only human after all. The phrase when the going gets tough the tough gets going, will strike hard at the star center of Nomad´s shield! Besides Red Skull their are many other foes that want a piece of The Cap´s vibranium shield. Maybe will here about some of them in the First Avenger Film or maybe as stated above, if Nomad succeeds among the cinema fan troops probably some of these badasses will take over new sequels.  Until now we´ll have to settle for the wits of Der Red Skull, but in a distant future who knows, if some members of The Masters of Evil or Hydra will break in the defenses of Nomad´s shield. Only time in 2011´s WW II,  will tell.

Intense, explosive and exhilarating… Get a little more taste of Black Widow, Nick Fury, Whiplash, War Machine and Tony Stark when they go side to side with this second trailer that promises to sky rocket Iron Man 2 on May 7!

Filled with the grim and dreadful surroundings of WW II, as you already know, Marvel is planning to unfold the “origin” story of Steve Rogers as Captain America. It’s definitely a go… we’re going to do some time traveling to the 40’s in the whereabouts of Hitler’s Nazi occupied Europe. So if Steve Rogers is disembarking in the highly anticipated First Avenger Film then voilá… Guess who should we have for the ruthless welcoming party? The Cap’s arch nemesis: The Red Skull!

Johann  Schmidt A.K.A. Red Skull is one of the most feared and brutal officials of the Third Reich.  Selected personally by Hitler himself, The Red Skull escalated the highest ranks of the Nazi Party becoming a decidedly and effective “weapon of intimidation” to spread out terror in the early stages of WW II. Although The Captain America Movie is starting to deploy its production, nothing is 100% confirmed whereas The Red Skull will be the official villain or not, but as I stated above, since this is the story of how Steve Rogers becomes Captain America, then The Red Skull in Joe Jhonston’s First Avenger film is a must! Hope they don’t turn this one into The Cap just fighting Nazi soldiers. The real deal here is without a question the showdown with the old school of menace The Red Skull.

The Cap and Red Skull have come a long way, they’re like bread and butter, one cannot exist with out another. The Red Skull vs Captain America are one of the greatest rivalries in the Marvel Universe. So as in past post  Will Captain America Movie trigger The Invaders? we don’t know for sure, but hope it does. Now one thing is for certain… it should definitely trigger the vicious fury, of The Red Skull!

Enjoy the visual treat!

Condition: Extreme. Climate? Hostile. You mission? Survive. Your Weapons? Your guts.  Desolation and risk takes you on a one way ticket to the barren fate of Capcom’s Lost Planet 2.  Sequel to Lost Planet: Extreme Condition this third-person shooter video game dares your instinct to embrace enemy extinction on May 2010.

Playing the video game is one thing owning the collectible mobile suits is another deal. Licensed by Capcom Kotobukiya does it again!

Maybe so hot to handle that they could blast away any other figure that stands alone in your collector’s shelf.
