This will be good as long as Ron don’t have Tom Hanks star in the lead in this one. Ron and Tom has made so many movies together, it’s time for someone else to get a chance at the leading role. I love Tom Hanks, don’t get me wrong, but Ron needs to give him a break.

Report: Freida Pinto joins the cast of Julian Schnabel’s, “Miral”…

Leave a comment

The gorgeous and talented actress, Freida Pinto’s, film career is on a roll these days. Her first film, “Slumdog Millionaire”, opened new doors for great opportunities in her film career. First she gets signed to Woody Allen’s new film, and now she’s signed on to star in a film called, “Miral” which is written and directed by Julian Schnabel. The film is adapted from the book by Rula Jebreal which is about Hind Husseini, who founded an orphanage in Jerusalem in the wake of the 1948 partition of Palestine and the creation of the state of Israel.

I look forward to any project that Freida does now. She’s so gorgeous and beautiful. New celebrity crush, that I could date someone like her in real life. She’s one of them type of women that you can never get your eyes off of. Freida may have been snubbed for “Best Actress” for the Oscars, but she’ll get her chance down the road, trust me. Maybe she’ll get it with Woody Allen’s upcoming film.

Report: Sam Raimi still wants to do “Evil Dead 4″….

Leave a comment

This is so awesome that Sam Raimi is still interested in bringing the Evil Dead back to the big screen. Sam Raimi tells MTV News that he still wants to do it. He is dying to bring Evil Dead back to the big screen. He wants Ash back for one more film, get Bruce Campbell back on the chainsaw and the shotgun killing demons and zombies. He says he really wants to do it, but after he gets done promoting, “Drag Me to Hell”, he wants to do “Spiderman 4” first, and then he’ll think about another “Evil Dead” movie.

I’ve always thought the Evil Dead trilogy deserved one last film to close out the series. I love the Evil Dead movies, all three of them. Yep, I even loved, “Army of Darkness”. “Army Of Darkness” may have bombed in the theater when it first came out, but if “Evil Dead 4” came to us, I’m sure it will be a box office smash if made right.

As long as Sam Raimi, keeps “Evil Dead 4” old school Evil Dead with low budget cameras and all that, it’ll work. I think, “Evil Dead 4” would be great and hope they do one last film. Bring on “Evil Dead 4”, I really want one!!! 🙂

Report: Nicolas Cage is still a box office draw, “Knowing” tops box office weekend with a whopping 24.8 million!!!

Leave a comment

Yet, another reason to give Nicolas Cage respect. Nicolas Cage haters out there needs to shut their mouths about him, because it’s a proven fact that he’s one of the most hardest working and successful actors in Hollywood more than anybody out there.

Cage’s “Knowing” hits no. 1 this weekend making a decent 24.8 million. Not bad. Not bad at all. I haven’t seen, “Knowing”, in theater, but I really want to see it. Looks like a great film.

The Associated Press reports:

Also, look at all these successful films that did well in the box office in Nic Cage’s career, check out box office mojo:

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/people/chart/?id=nicolascage.htm

His biggest films that made the most money:

  1. National Treasure: Book of Secrets
  2. National Treasure
  3. Ghost Rider
  4. Gone In 60 Seconds
  5. Face/Off
  6. Con Air
  7. The Rock
  8. Moonstruck
  9. World Trade Center
  10. The FamilyMan

Those that keep knocking Nicolas Cage’s acting skills, it doesn’t matter if you think his acting is good or bad or if you wonder why he is still working. He is still working because it’s a proven fact that he’s still a box office draw.

I’m sure his remake of “Bad Lieutenant” will make very good bucks in the box office as well. Why should he quit if he is still making Hollywood a lot of money through his films? I think that proves he is doing something right. You can’t deny that Nic Cage has got some great films. He’s an interesting guy and unique.

Report: 50 Cent pulls out of “The Expendables”, Terry Crews is in!

Leave a comment

(50 Cent top picture, Terry Crews bottom picture)

Rapper 50 sent says “no” to starring in, “The Expendables” with Stallone. Former NFL star, Terry Crews, says “yes” he is in.

AICN reports:

Terry Crews is not a well known actor, but he has starred in many films in the past, doing mostly supporting roles. Not really big roles but small roles. He was in movies such as “Training Day”, “Starsky and Hutch” (remake), “The Longest Yard”, “Get Smart”, “The 6th Day”, and he will have a role in the upcoming, “Terminator: Salvation”. I think Terry Crews is a much better choice!

See a few videos of Terry Crews in various films below. Enjoy.

Report: Liam Neeson to take a long hiatus from film?

22 Comments

Due to the death of his wife, Natasha Richardson, Liam Neeson announced he is putting his film career on hold. His latest movie that he starred the leading role in the action/thriller, “Taken”, he will do no more films after that. He is set to do future projects, but he will have to drop out of them. This hiatus will only be temporary but not permanent. No word on how long Liam will take a hiatus, but he can take all the time off he needs. He can even retire from Hollywood if that’s what is best for himself and his family.

Why do bad things happen to good people? Stay strong, Liam buddy. That man will be heartbroken and depressed for the rest of his life now. He’ll never get over this, just like John Travolta will never get over the death of his son.

These celebrities and movie stars don’t need to keep working over the death of a family. The same goes for Jennifer Hudson. I don’t know why she continues to do music with losing her family members, but she does anyways. Her hiatus from her career was very short.

John Travolta and Liam Neeson’s hiatus will probably be a long one. I feel bad for Liam. Liam and Natasha seems like a very happy couple, Natasha was a very beautiful woman for her age too. RIP, Natasha.

Thought: Nicolas Cage…people need to stop saying negative things about him…

Leave a comment

I don’t see anything wrong with Nicolas Cage. In fact, he is one of my favorite actors. I think the guy is great. I know people do not like him too much, I don’t know why, maybe it’s because he’s no Brad Pitt and Matt Damon? I think he’s a really great actor. He has a good speaking voice, his acting seems normal and real than any other actor out there.

I’m interested in seeing his next movie, “Knowing”, it looks good, and I’ll probably see it in theater. I’m also looking forward to his upcoming remake “Bad Lieutenant”.

My top 10 favorite Nicolas Cage flicks here:

  1. Con/Air
  2. Matchstick Men
  3. Snake Eyes
  4. Raising Arizona
  5. World Trade Center
  6. Adaptation
  7. 8mm
  8. The Rock
  9. Face/Off
  10. National Treasure (the first one only)

He’s starred in many great films. Of course, he had his share of starring in some bad movies that I didn’t like, other than that, I don’t see anything wrong with him. He’s one of the hardest working actors in Hollywood who seems to love doing this as a passion. Comes out with movie after movie, year after year, non stop. The guy is always working.

Give the man the respect that he deserves. Enough said.
