Michael Caine, who’s been playing in the last batman movies as the butler Alfred, has decided to become a vigilante himself! Well, at least according to the movie trailer of Harry Brown, an upcoming drama thriller movie directed by Daniel Barber:

HARRY BROWN
Plot:
“Harry Brown (Caine) is an elderly widower and ex-marine who has lived to see his neighborhood overrun by violent gangs, drugs and crime. When his best friend Leonard (David Bradley) is brutally murdered and the gang leader responsible walks free, Harry finds himself snapping. Soon, his desire for revenge leads to the unlikely vigilante facing up to the young thugs, with terrifying results.”

That old man got no superpowers, but he’s damn cool! It kind of reminds of Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino, but this time, the ol’ man is gonna kick them all! Is there a trend for senior vigilantes because of Population ageing?

The movie Harry Brown will be released early November in the UK, but no US release date yet. Let’s hope that Lionsgate will it soon!

The Chipmunks Alvin, Simon and Theodore are back for a Squeakquel (contraction of squirrel squeak and sequel I guess…). We”ll be able to watch Alvin and The Chipmunks 2 The Squeakquel starting this Christmas, on December 25, 2009. But meanwhile let’s watch below the movie trailer of Alvin and The Chipmunks 2:

Alvin and The Chipmunks 2
Plot:
“Because of a freak accident involving Alvin and Dave Seville, they go to live with Dave Seville’s cool cousin Toby and must enroll in school just like every other kid. School presents new challenges to these rock stars, like dealing with peer pressure, school sports and of course, girls!
By ‘girls’ we mean the Chipettes who are managed by Ian Hawke, the Chipmunks greedy former manager who wants to turn them into the next big thing. At the outset, there is a rivalry between the Chipettes and the Chipmunks but in the end they realize that they make great friends and a great musical team!”

Things get always more complicated when girls are in, but it’s for the best: so much more fun with them around! And those Chippettes look so sweet. So I can be but impatient to see lovestruck chipmunks in the movie Alvin and The Chipmunks 2.

Here belwo the trailer of Valentine’s Day:

Valentine’s Day
Plot:
“Intertwining couples and singles in Los Angeles break-up and make-up based on the pressures and expectations of Valentine’s Day.”

I appreciate those romantic comedy movies from time to time, but most of the time I’m disappointed because I expect too much after watching the trailer. The movie trailer of Valentine’s Day, with that dynamic music, would let us think that’s it gonna be a crazy ride… But it’s a common trick to oversell a flat movie with trailer boosted with the latest music hits…

Anyway, let’s hope that the movie Valentine’s Day will keep its sweet promise!
