No, this post is not about Rog, Dwayne and Rerun. It’s about the creepy new trailers proliferating around the Web for M. Night Shyamalan’s new movie “The Happening.”

I think Shyamalan is a helluva filmmaker. Yes, his last few flicks have been subpar, but after raising our expectations so high with “The Sixth Sense,” it was easy for fans and critics to be disappointed.

The “red band” (ie: under 17 not admitted) trailer gives me hope that Shyamalan is back at the top of his game. Enjoy:

If you’re an honest youngster, fear not, IGN.com and Apple (among others) have the PG-rated trailer as well.

The creators of Internet film sensation “Star Wreck” are at it again. This time with “Iron Sky,” a movie about … well, I’ll let them tell it:

“In 1945 the Nazis fled to the moon. In 2018 they are coming back.”

More from their site: “Iron Sky is a film about conformity: those who want to conform, those who want to make others conform, and those who refuse.”

The film is in pre-production (the trailer above contains no actual movie footage — just some conceptual look and feel) and they are looking for people to help out. Sounds like fun.

Let’s get the obvious out of the way immediately: George A. Romero, father of the modern-day zombie movie, is a genre — and general — filmmaking giant. Mr. Romero could release a 90-minute test pattern and his legacy would be secure.

But man alive (or undead), is his latest film dreadful.

I love the ‘Dead’ series like Pittsburgh zombie’s love human flesh. So when ‘Diary’ came out, I searched all over L.A. to catch it (and the fact that it was only playing at Grauman’s Chinese Theater did little to dampen my enthusiasm.)

Sadly, it was probably the worst movie I’ve ever watched in its entirety — and I’ve seen several Uwe Boll flicks.

It’s on DVD soon, so you can see for yourself.
