‘Act of Valor’ Super Bowl Promo Features Real SEALs At Work
Feb 6th
Relativity Media is wisely taking advantage of Super Bowl XLVI to drum up interest for the fast-approaching release of Act of Valor – a film project two years in the making, due to the limited availability of its central cast, which is composed primarily of real active-duty Navy SEALs playing… well, themselves. Everything from the acting crew featuring actual military personnel, to the use of live ammunition during combat sequences – and directors Mike McCoy and Scott Waugh utilizing mobile Canon 5D Mark II cameras, in order to literally get in the middle of the action – is meant to make Act of Valor a largely accurate portrayal of SEAL operation techniques (not to mention, a high-octane viewing experience)

Feb 5th
Continuing to explore the ramifications from the fall of the House of Batiatus, Spartacus: Vengeance takes a closer look at the idea that, although free, many of the series’ central characters find themselves adrift in a new world that offers them no sign of purpose. ‘A Place in This World’ focuses much of the episode on Oenomaus/Doctore (Peter Mensah), who, having participated in the destruction of his home, wrestles with mixed feelings. Seeking penance, Oenomaus puts himself into combat in the mines – a miserable place Spartacus knows all too well

Feb 4th
This weekend, Big Miracle , the true story of the rescue of a family of California blue whales trapped in Alaska in 1988 opens in theaters. John Krasinski ( The Office ) plays the reporter who first discovers the plight of the whales while Drew Barrymore portrays his former girlfriend and the Greenpeace activist who champions the mission. In order to successfully create a path through the ice where the creatures are trapped (so they may reach the ocean and continue with their winter migration) the pair must enlist the help of the media at large, an oil tycoon with access to a massive “ice-breaker,” the national guard, and both the US and Russian governments.

Feb 3rd
A Sam Raimi-approved Evil Dead remake is coming, whether fans like it or not. This particular recycling of a beloved cult classic is very much embracing Hollywood’s “darker and grittier” remake creed, by abandoning the mix of over-the-top gore and Three Stooges -style comedy from Raimi’s original film(s), in favor of a dead-serious supernatural horror flick, with Ichi the Killer levels of violence.

Feb 3rd
You may or not have thought that Insidious was the scariest movie of last year ( I certainly did ), but after earning nearly $100 million on a measly $1.5 million budget, there’s no denying that it was one of the most profitable. Second only to the ridiculously successful Paranormal Activity 3 (which earned over $200 million worldwide), director James Wan’s throwback horror film was a big hit with audiences and immediately spurred conversation about a possible sequel.
