In the latest comedy from Broken Lizard, (the creators of Supertroopers and Beerfest) “Slammin” Cleon Salmon (Michael Clarke Duncan) is a former Heavyweight Champion of the World turned celebrity owner of a high end Miami seafood restaurant, The Slammin’ Salmon.

A terrifying bull of a man, Salmon uses fear to rule over his misfit waitstaff (Broken Lizard’s Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, Erik  Stolhanske, as well as Cobie Smulders and April Bowlby) and on this particular night, he takes his bullying skills to a new level.  In an effort to pay off a gambling debt to the Japanese Yakuza, Salmon sets up a contest to ‘inspire’ his waitstaff to sell more food than they ever have before: the top selling server wins $10,000 while the waiter in last place gets served with a broken rib sandwich—courtesy of the Champ himself.

Spurred on by greed and panic, the staff resort to backstabbing, bribery and indecent proposals in an attempt to upsell their patrons while simultaneously sabotaging their co-workers. As the hours pass, the dining room action becomes more frenzied as the contest escalates into a brawl for first place in order to win the money.

Well this looks like a pretty fun ride.  The “Pirates of the Caribbean” vibe is unmistakable, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be an entertaining movie! Check out the first trailer:

This 3 and a half minute trailer should give you a better idea of the plot and some of the supporting characters.  The CGI still doesn’t look “game-changing”, but its still impressive and the film definitely looks like a fun ride… Not sure about that dialog though…  oh well, check out the brand new trailer from Yahoo!:

Jason Bourne goes to Iraq?  But seriously, this is directed by Paul Greengrass who directed the last 2 Bourne movies, so it will probably be pretty good.  Here’s the first look:

It seems like Nic Cage won’t say no to any movie role he is offered? Season Of The Witch looks… weird.  Check out the brand new teaser trailer from IGN.com:

In the supernatural thriller Season of the Witch, Nicolas Cage stars as a 14th century Crusader who returns with his comrade (Ron Perlman) to a homeland devastated by the Black Plague. A beleaguered church, deeming sorcery the culprit of the plague, commands the two knights to transport an accused witch (Claire Foy) to a remote abbey, where monks will perform a ritual in hopes of ending the pestilence.

A priest (Stephen Campbell Moore), a grieving knight (Ulrich Thomsen), an itinerant swindler (Stephen Graham) and a headstrong youth who can only dream of becoming a knight (Robert Sheehan) join a mission troubled by mythically hostile wilderness and fierce contention over the fate of the girl.

When the embattled party arrives at the abbey, a horrific discovery jeopardizes the knight’s pledge to ensure the girl fair treatment, and pits them against an inexplicably powerful and destructive force.

This movie is absolutely stacked with classic action movie guys and the cliche’s are relentless even in this 3 minute promo trailer, but I’ll be damned if this doesn’t look pretty awesome. Check out the trailer:
