10 – Indiana Jones IV – This has got to be one of the worst scenes of all time in the movies, but the explosion is pretty impressive.

9 – Death Star exploding in “The Original Star Wars Episode IV” – I shouldn’t have to lead into this film or explosion in anyway. Enjoy.

8 – White House in Independence Day – This movie seemed to of come out of nowhere and boy did it hit hard. This is a great sequence and explosion. A must see!

7 – The Rock - This movie is a must see for so many reasons, adding it to this list was a pleasure.

6 – The Dark Knight-A great sequence caught on film to say the least. A homage to the late Heath.

5 – Swordfish - This has got to be one of my favorite films for so many reasons. Love the story, the action, and this explosion is awesome!

4 – Stealth - The movie that bombed has one of the all time great explosion in movie history!

3 – Fight Club - The spectacular ending. Nothing else to say besides watch and enjoy!

2 – Terminator 2 – Opening Dream Sequence – this is hard to watch for a father of two kids, but such a statement and a well done scene.

1 – V for Vendetta – Parliament – Great movie, great scene, well done explosion all leading up to a great finale!

Do let us know what we missed as this is a huge genre! Hope you enjoy our little explosion masterpiece!

With Marvel bosses and director Joe Johnston still hard at work on apparently auditioning every young male actor in Hollywood for the titular role in The First Avenger: Captain America, it seems that some other casting news has just dropped. In a decision that comes as both surprising and wholly appropriate, Cap’s arch-nemesis, the Red Skull, will be portrayed on screen by none other than Hugo Weaving.

Filmgoing audiences are most familiar with Weaving as well-dressed computer-baddie Agent Smith in all three of the Matrix films and as Elven Lord Elrond in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but with more daring roles in indies like The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and comic-book experience in V for Vendetta, Weaving has become an established and much-beloved character actor.

The selection of Weaving came as a small surprise to many who were expecting a younger pick or a German actor for the part of the evil Nazi supersoldier, but considering his work with Johnston in last month’s The Wolfman, the choice doesn’t seem so shocking.

Okay, so now that Captain America has its lead villain, we can hope to hear some definitive news soon on who will be picking up the shield and putting on the mask, and you can bet your flag that Atomic Popcorn will have the news when it breaks.

Yes, I am well aware that I am late to the game but better late than never, I have heard a couple of people say. I must admit this took a shorter time than I thought it would. Looking back on so many films, the ones in my blu-ray library and the ones that just stick out in my head, the list was HUGE. Narrowing them down into a top 10 list was something that was a very hard task.

To get the list was something I wanted to put out there. This list is not perfect by any means. I know for a fact I am missing some movies that should be on here. With that said, this is my list and I love each of these movies and cannot see them being pushed out.

This list is not a list of which one is better, this list contains 10 movies that I love and put onto a numbered list. By no means is it in any ORDER what so ever!

Enjoy

1. Children Of Men (2006)

2. Pan’s Labyrinth (2006)

3. The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy (2001-2003)

4. The Dark Knight (2008)

5. Avatar (2009)

6. The Hangover (2009)

7. Gladiator (2000)

8. District 9 (2009)

9. Memento (2000)

10. V for Vendetta (2005)

So how far off was I from you all? Who did I miss and why do you think I am wrong? See you all in the comments.

A first look photo of Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L Jackson in the upcoming Will Eisner’s film “The Spirit” have hit the interwebs.

While not surprising or earth shaking, the shots definitely show us some of the what the film will be looking like. I call a cross between Sin City and V for Vendetta. It should be a sight to see!

Mankind has a expiration date…

Stealing from “28 days later”, “V for Vendetta” and “Madmax”, we see a futuristic look at what the government is ready to do when life becomes a political chess piece, and nothing more.

Doomsday opens with a “virus” already running rampant throughout the British Isles. The spread of the aptly named “reaper” virus is taking lives in the thousands in the first few hours of the spread.

Newspaper articles are strewn across the movie screen trying to show us the atrocities that are happening due to a massive 30 foot wall going up to contain the virus. Murder, rape, become the norm in a society left in a contamination zone to die. Or to survive?

We are introduced to Eden (our main character) as a child with her mother trying to drive out of the city only to be stopped by the sheer mass of people trying to exit before the doors are closed for good. We see lots of heads rolling, bodies flying all the while introducing laughs that shouldn’t be producing laughs. The corniness this film introduces early on continues throughout the story-line.

Present day Eden is a force to be reckoned with on the police force working under Bill Nelson (the good cop stuck in between the politically calloused and the military tyrants). We have seen this story-line many times before. Is this different? Not really.

The lack of acting ability was overcome by an immeasurable amount of blood and gore. Burning bodies, heads rolling (literally), and to make it more of a B movie, they even throw in some boobies for you to see before they got bloodied up.

With a cast of familiar british actors but no one to carry this movie, the acting falls short of anything above par. Rhona Mitra gives the audience something to look at in Eden Sinclair, but the acting falls short all around. With the likes of Bob Haskins, David O’Hara, and the ever popular Malcolm McDowell, you would expect more. This movie is a mess of chaos, overdone blood, death, boobies and more. If you are into films that have an outrageous plot line, a futuristic style, and a lack of acting. This is the movie for you. It reminds me a little of the Resident Evil series. Although its a train wreck in terms of acting, the film entertains to a degree.

Overall I would not recommend this to many of my friends.
