I started this column because I really enjoy the diversity and potential for artistic creativity in movie posters (even if most nowadays are a photoshop disaster), but I have received a few requests to start including a movie trailer for each of these posts. Starting today, I will be including it after the jump for anyone who wants more info on the movie.

The Last Stand is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s first major film since leaving the office of Governor of California. He portrays small town sheriff, Ray Owens enjoying his day off, when a high profile drug kingpin comes through town trying to cross the border to Mexico.

I put the video after the jump because it had autoplay enabled. My favoritest feature in all the internet.

This feels very much along the lines of a classic Schwarzenegger movie. What will really be interesting is if such a film can compete in the modern box office.
The Last Stand comes to theaters on January 18th.

Welcome to the Powet Top 5, where we explore the top (and bottom) 5 items we think are relevant to any of a variety of topics that span the imagination. Sit back, read, and respond

2012 is now behind us. The year came with it’s share of decent movies. I made a pact with some friends to catch most of the summer movies and aside from that crappy Spider-Man flick I can honestly say I had a good time at all of them. So here’s a look at my top 5 personal favourites of the year. I’m sure to miss some of your favourites so feel free to let me know why I’m wrong in the comments!

I already discussed my favourites of 2012 on this week’s Powetcast. I took a little more time to look over the year’s movies before putting together my final list. I also made sure I saw the Hobbit before I wrote this article, though you will notice that I found it undeserving of being included.

Its movie trailer madness this week! The Pacific Rim trailer dropped at some point yesterday. I had never even heard of this movie before, but its directed by Guillermo Del Toro (Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth). It is some kind of cross between Godzilla, Gundam and Evangelion. I think I love it. This blows the GI Joe Retaliation and Man of Steel trailers out of the water.

Just shy of two months from the one year anniversary of the first trailer for GI Joe Retaliation making its splash on a worldwide Super Bowl audience, we are seeing the film’s third trailer. Since the intial splash of the first trailer, the movie was postponed, partially refilmed and converted to 3D. I’m not sure this movie can overcome the initial hype gut punch it received from the postponement. There are only a couple scenes we haven’t seen before, one including Duke (Channing Tatum), seemingly confirming that his death was rewritten as part of the postponement. I’m not sure I can be as excited about this as I was almost a year ago, but I’m still looking forward to it.

GI Joe Retaliation comes to theaters on March 29th 2013.
