Terminator Salvation has now introduced a supernova screen talent, Sam Worthington, onto the public psyche. I could go on and on -- but in keeping with 32-year old Worthington's elegant and refined performance in Terminator Salvation, it suffices to say that this Aussie is one of the biggest talent working in Hollywood today. He blew away all his co-stars in terms of cinematic stature, even Terminator Salvation's lead actor Christian Bale.
AND Sam Worthington is going to go places as you have never seen him in his two upcoming movies, James Cameron's Avatar and the remake of The Clash of the Titans!

SAM WORTHINGTON -- AUSTRALIAN SUPERNOVA

TRAILER PARK: OH-MY-GOD! YUMMY TRAILERS FROM TRANSFORMERS-TERMINATOR-N-G.I.JOE
What a brilliant triptych of movie trailers I managed to lay my eyes on.
First, there was Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen. Not since the first The Matrix movie did my jaw drop so many times. The latest trailer shows us more -- and leaves us wanting more. All the transforming heroes return and the bad one is revived from under the ocean -- and drool-worthy new machines are introduced.
The story line appears suitably skewed towards action and what spectacular action it all looks set to be.
Then, I checked out the four-minute clip from Terminator Salvation. It is directed by McG who brought us the superb Charlie's Angels as a big screen adaptation (and brilliant re-interpretation) of the famous TV series. In his able hands, Terminator Salvation looks like it is going to be a riveting blast. The effects look spot on -- but more than that, the storyline (as sampled in the trailer) looks absolutely riveting. Man and machine and their gritty battles are going to grab everyone's imagination when this film opens.
Finally, I took a look at the G.I. Joe trailers and it looks like a solid-hit-in-the-making. The storyline and villain seem like predictable hash -- but the effects and stunts will leave fanboys delirious with excitement. The camera angles and choreography look amazing during action scenes
All together now: Hooray for Hollywood!
