Look like Arnold Schwarzenegger couldn’t make it of course, but Bruce Willis did! Bruce was there at Comic-Con to promote his movie “Red” with Helen Mirren…but while there, Bruce made a stop to Hall H to support “The Expendables” movie with Sly and the rest of the cast.

Rumours been on the internet for months now that Joss Whedon could possibly be the one to direct Marvels, “The Avenger’s” movie. At the Q&A session with fans at SDCC today, Joss Whedon himself confirmed that he is directing, “The Avengers”.

Joss Whedon directed that sci-fi action movie, “Serenity”. Maybe he will make “The Avengers” a good flick, with or without Ed Norton.

“Truckin’, got my chips cashed in. Keep truckin’, like the doo dah man, Together, more or less in line, just keep truckin’ on”…
Yes, that’s right. Jerry Garcia is on his way to the big screen with his own biopic film, and it will be directed by Amir Bar-Lev. The film will focus on Jerry Garcia’s earlier days, before joining the Grateful Dead that made him a huge star.
Variety Reports:

Since the film will focus on Jerry’s earlier days, I assume they will focus on his childhood, and how he got into music. I’m sure they will focus on his history of drug use as well. Garcia had a pretty rough childhood and he was already playing in bands way before the Grateful Dead even started. Him and Phil Lesh go way back.

I think a Jerry Garcia biopic would be interesting and it’s well deserved.
So the question is? Who should play Jerry? I was thinking Jeff Bridges, but the article said they would focus on Garcia’s younger days, so they are probably gonna go for a younger actor.
They would obviously need an actor that is also a guitar player. This is a hard one to decide. Maybe the role should go to an unknown actor instead of a big name?
I’m a HUGE Grateful Dead fan by the way. Yeah, I’m a Dead Head like the rest of ’em. Except I don’t drink and don’t do drugs to the music. I don’t need to do that shit to enjoy the music, do I?

Bill Murray did a new interview with CQ magazine, and in the magazine, Bill, responds to “Ghostbusters 3” news that’s been hitting the internets. Bill’s response? He calls it a bunch of crock. Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis been plugging in Ghostbusters 3 on the itnernet for months, and after all this time, Bill Murray squashes “Ghostbusters 3” news.
Sorry, Ghostbusters, fans. Looks like a G3 is never gonna happen now.

Now that the Swiss has decided to let Roman Polanski go, he wasted no time to decide what’s next for film. Polanski’s next film is titled, the “Gods of Carnage”, an adaptation of a Yasmina Reza play.
Isn’t it kind of funny that after Roman is being accused of being a pedophile, he is still doing movies about children?
Although the play was set in New York City, the film will obviously be taken place in Europe instead since he is not allowed to step foot in the US.

Starring: Leonardo Dicaprio, Ellen Page, Marion Cotillard, Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy, Tom Berenger and Michael Caine.
Directed by: Christopher Nolan
Today, I went and saw the movie “Inception”, another film that I was looking forward to see for a long time. It is finally here, so I went and saw it. Before the movie, I did a little fun shopping for myself. Just got a couple of books from Barnes & Noble and a thing of Itunes cards to download albums with, that was about it. I didn’t buy any video games or DVD’s ’cause I didn’t see anything I wanted. When I buy videogames, I don’t just buy random games like a lot of video gamers do. I only buy a video game if there is something coming out that I really want ’cause PS3 games are pricey, I wanna make ’em worth it. Now on with my review…
Plot/synopsis: This is a heist film where Leonardo Dicaprio plays a father who is a thief, his name is Dom Cobb. He is an expert thief where he steal things that are valuable secrets. So what is Dom’s secret in committing these crimes successfully? He does them in dreams. Cobb and his men take control of the dream world to commit these robberies. There are a few rules in the Dream World, if someone is hurt in the dream world, they will experience pain in real life. If someone dies, they will be forced to wake up. Dom, was offered a heist job of “Inception” by a man named Saito, which he accepts, in order to get back to his two children. What “Inception” means it’s the implantation of a thought within a person’s mind. Ariadne (Ellen Page’s character) teams up with him as a guide to help what is haunting him. Does Dom successfully get the “Inception” job done in dreams? You will have to see the film to find out.
As I have predicted a long time ago, this film was very impressive. Very very very good, film. Christopher Nolan is such an amazing storyteller. Honestly, I LOVE his work more outside of Batman. You know what? I’m actually glad he was chosen to do Batman, because doing Batman indeed helped him make better movies other than, Batman. Even though “Inception” wasn’t a Batman movie, it sure did felt like one. It felt like a comic book movie even though this is an original piece of work. Chris Nolan has such an amazing imagination when it comes to writing. You gotta wonder, what goes on in that man’s head when he comes up with these crazy stories.
Yes, “Inception” is a big time special effects movie. Lot of CGI throughout the entire movie pretty much, but it makes sense. How else are they going to do that stuff? Ya know? I thought it was a perfect movie all around. No complaints here. Direction was excellent. Writing was excellent. The acting by the cast was just phenomenal. The special effects and the sound was a blast. It was action packed. It almost felt like a James Bond/Jason Bourne movie on acid. Hans Zimmer’s score for the film was amazing as well.
Most peolpe hate Leo Dicaprio, but I respect him and his talent. He’s not my absolute favorite either, but you can’t deny, this guy has got a lot of talent. His acting in this film was actually very good as well. Leo needs to quit doing these girly drama flicks and keep doing dark movies. He’s good at it. I really loved him in “Shutter Island”, and he was so good in this movie too.
Uh oh, do I have this feeling that Leo Dicaprio could get a serious role in “Batman: The Dark Knight 3”??? If the Riddler is picked as a villain, could Leo be the Riddler? Don’t be surprised. Christopher Nolan seems to have a fetish of working with actors that he already worked with in the past. So you bet your ass, Leo will get a role for the next Batman flick. Maybe Leo won’t get a villain role, but maybe a different character. Christopher Nolan is one of my top 5 favorite directors. I love all the work he has done. My favorite movie, “Memento” and “Insomnia” were both really good. Respect his work other than Batman please. Chris can’t do Batman his whole life, he’ll get bored with it. He needs to do different things like most film makers.
I look forward to seeing, “The Expendables” in August, which is my next movie I plan to see.
Score for “Inception” = **** (4 stars as in “Excellent”)

So two trailers have hit the internets now, of David Fincher’s newest movie, “The Social Network”, based on the popular social networking site, well, um, Facebook. You ask yourself? WTF? This is weird, there is nothing on these two trailers, how can the public give feedback on these? The thing that viewers don’t understand that, it’s the whole point. The film makers purposely made these two trailers this way, as their way to confuse you. It’s their way of getting people talking. I see reader comments in other movie blogs and message forums, saying, “Why don’t they make myspace the movie?”
Why isn’t there a myspace movie yet? Because there doesn’t need to be one. There are many reasons Facebook needs to be a movie. On the Facebook website, there are a lot of secrets and behind the scenes stuff that we don’t know about. Maybe the Facebook movie wants to reveal all the secrets? How the site started, all the stuff behind it, how the site got it’s popularity, the media, etc. Plus, try to remember that when Facebook first started, it didn’t start in a very good way. Mark Zuckerberg first started a social networking site when he was in Harvard College, that site was for that school only. Then he was sued for it or something. I don’t know the whole history. I’m sure the movie wants to get more into detail with that. Get the hint with the trailer in the video below, it even mentioned Mark Zuckerberg getting sued.
Is the Facebook movie being made for box office money? Of course, but I’m sure there are more important reasons Hollywood wants this made. “The Social Network” will be a learning experience. It’ll help us understand why we are all on the site to begin with. Why we were all drawn to it? The site was made by some bored college kid who probably had no social life, so being the computer expert he is, he decided to build a site of his own. It started off small with just himself using it at first…now the site is mainstream, worldwide. It is more popular than myspace now. Mark Zuckerberg still runs and owns the site today after all these years. He is still young and he is still in his 20’s.
The Facebook site and Mark Zuckerberg himself has quite a bit of history that we need to know about.
I know this film is getting tons of negative backlash, so I wanted to write in some thoughts to help defend the movie a little bit. I think this is a unique and interesting idea for a film. I’m looking forwardr to seeing more of it. I’m sure we’ll soon see another trailer with actually actors and clips from the film. David Fincher is a fantastic director, he’s made many great films in the past and I’m sure he made this a great one too. Make no mistake with David Fincher!
