Report: First look at Dolph Lundgren’s “Command Performance”!!!

Leave a comment

Action star Dolph Lundgren is serious about reviving his career. I think he’s had enough of making straight to video and straight to TV movies, that I think he’s ready to make a huge comeback to the big screen.

Dolph’s next movie he’s currently filming “Command Performance” which he plays a drummer in a rock n’ roll band. Dolph’s leading character goes to watch a female pop star concert (which he probably falls in love with in the film), then terrorists take over the concert and kidnap the Russian president which Dolph’s character must rescue. “Command Performance” sounds like it will be a mainstream movie, not a straight to video release because it’s being released by Nu Image/Millenium.

Dolph is also set to star alongside, Sly Stallone in “The Expendables” which will also be released by Nu Image/Millenium.

See this link for more on the plot and see two exclusive photos of Dolph on set of the film “Command Performance”:

The movie “Command Performance”  sounds goofy and silly as all hell, but it still sounds like a fun movie to see. I’m looking forward to it.

And my god, that second picture of Dolph, he still looks ripped and buffed up.

Confirmed: “The Dark Knight” getting a theaterical re-release everywhere Jan. 23rd…

Leave a comment

Did you miss the showing of “The Dark Knight” when it first hit theaters earlier in the summer back in July? Did you already see the film and wanting to see it again on the big screen? Well, you’ll get that opportunity on Jan. 23rd because Warner Bros. will re-release “The Dark Knight” for the big screen in theaters everywhere.

Although “The Dark Knight” comes out on DVD/Blu Ray Dec. 9th (that’s next week), Warner Bros. wants fans to experience it on the big screen, not on the small screen at home.

Variety Reports:

Come on now.

The real reasons they are re-releasing this is that they are hoping to top “Titanic” in the box office and trying to attract an Oscar buzz for “Best Picture”.

I won’t see it in the theater again, I’ll enjoy it on DVD at home.

Report: Nicole Kidman does not apologize for her failed movie career…

Leave a comment

In this article, actress Nicole Kidman admits to the public that most of her films are flops. She also admits to having bad taste when choosing films to star in by saying that some of her movies are mainstream hits and some of them are not. She doesn’t seem upset by her failed movie career because she either does the films if she either 1) Likes the script herself 2) Just does it for the love of acting 3) Does the films for the money alone… or it could be a little of all three!!!

She is not sure what she’ll do in her future acting career because she is planning to have more children with her country star husband, Keith Urban. Is this a hint that she is planning on backing out on Hollywood too? Her favorite role is being a Mom and that’s her first priority.

More on it here:

Whether her films bomb or not, she is still a talented actress, I love a lot of her films. Just because movies flop in the box office, doesn’t mean a film is bad.

Her in “Cold Mountain” is probably one of my favorite movies she’s ever starred in, I remember seeing it in theater when it first came out.

I’ll wait for DVD on “Australia”, I’m not that excited to see it in theater.

I look forward to anything Burton and Depp do together. I will see “Alice In Wonderland” in theater and I will see “Dark Shadows” in theater as well.

“Dark Shadows” also happens to be an all time favorite TV show of mine. I used to watch it all the time on the Sci-Fi channel.

Brock’s Top 5 Worst Films of 2008!!!

Leave a comment

Here are my top 5 choices for worst films of this year…films I didn’t like…

1. Burn After Reading

This was the biggest piece of crap I’ve seen all year long. The Coen Bros. worst film ever made. Were they trippin’ on drugs when they made this? They made Brad Pitt and George Clooney look like sissies in this flick.

2. Wanted

A favorite actress of mine who starred in  one of her worst films ever made. I never liked this film at all. While the movie is action packed, too much CGI that the film almost looked cartoonish to me. Don’t waste your time on it.

3. Vantage Point

A film I thought would be very promising and very good, but I wasn’t impressed with this film. It was boring. Only good thing about it was Dennis Quaid’s acting but the rest of the movie itself wasn’t very good. I didn’ t like how the script was written.

4. The Forbidden Kingdom

Action flick that stars Jet Li and Jackie Chan. Thought the film would be fun and action packed but it wasn’t. It was more about the storytelling with only very few action scenes. Giving this film a thumbs down.

5. 10,000 B.C.

I thought this film was ok, but nothing special or amazing, it’s definitely a wait for DVD type of thing. Not seeing in the theater. Again, I thought this film would be pretty promising by seeing the trailers and stuff, but when I saw this film in theater, I wasn’t that impressed. The film kind of bored me.

There’s my list. Enjoy.

Brock’s Top 5 Best Films of 2008!!!

Leave a comment

Well, it is the last month of the year 2008 already. Do you know what that means? This means, it is time to pick my top 5 best and worst films of 2008!!! I’ve seen a lot of movies this year that came out in 2008 so I wanted to tell you what I liked and didn’t like. Today I will start off with my top 5 choices for best films. I will talk about them in order:

Brock’s Top 5 Best Movies of 2008:

1. The Dark Knight

The best film of the year, I would say. This movie is a masterpiece. Not just for Heath’s acting as the Joker which is also amazing, I just love the entire movie overall. I am out of my mind how well Christopher Nolan saved the Batman franchise. Thank you Chris, Thank you!!!!

2. Rambo

This movie got mixed reviews by critics and regular fans, but I don’t care what anyone else says, I judge movies by my own opinion alone. I thought this film was a masterpiece too. It’s the way action movies are supposed to be today. Sly knows how an action movie is supposed to work and he did a great job with Rambo. It also tells a powerful story about Burma. Sly is a great film maker. I love this film to death.

3. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Again, this film got mixed reviews by critics and regular fans, this another movie you either love or hate, but oh well, I LOVED IT!! I thought Indy 4 was amazing. People don’t like the sci fi mixed in with aliens, but people just don’t understand that Spielberg is always putting aliens in pretty much everyone of his movies. Spielberg always had a fascination with UFO’s and aliens. He wanted to mix that in with Indy which makes it an original story and different. This film is extremely entertaining and the storytelling is just fantastic. Sure, some of the movie is silly and didn’t make any sense, but hey, it’s just a movie right? If you don’t take it seriously, you would enjoy it and have fun. 🙂

4. Changeling

Clint Eastwood is back with another film that stars my favorite actress Angelina Jolie which she plays a troubled single mother trying to find her missing son. This film makes the top 5 indeed. It’s a wonderful movie and as usual Angelina’s acting is always amazing when she does the serious drama stuff.

5. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

The Chronicles of Narnia films keep getting better and better. “Prince Caspian” is just absolutely mind blowing and this film is a masterpiece as well. The violence and action in this flick is actually pretty intense. The story itself is actually very good and cast does a good acting job.

Enjoy the list. “Iron Man” is good but not good enough to make my top 5 so don’t complain to me that it didn’t make it up there. I will have the 5 Worst Films of 2008 up tomorrow.

Hmmmm, Mike Patton scoring for an action flick, interesting. I’m sure he’ll capture the music perfectly for the film. And it’s good to see Corey Haim coming back to the big screen finally.

I have never even seen the first “Crank” film yet.

Report: Kristen Stewart to play Joan Jett in “The Runaways” biopic…

Leave a comment

“Twilight’s” leading star Kristen Stewart is set to portray the legendary punk rocker, Joan Jett in “The Runaways” biopic. The Runaways were a manufactured rock n’ roll all girly band that was formed by Joan Jett and Sandy West, Kim Fowley managed the band and had total control. Other members included Lita Ford, Micki Steele, Peggy Foster, Vicki Blue, and more. The band were together for four years but broke up due to management and money issues.

Joan Jett went on to form the Blackhearts which she wrote many memorable hits such as “I Love Rock N’ Roll” and plenty more. The film “The Runaways” will begin filming early in 2009 hoping to finish before Kristen goes to work on the next “Twilight” sequel, “New Moon”. Joan Jett the legend herself will be executive producer for “The Runaways” film, will she have a small cameo in the film as well? Who knows!

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3ia662814697fe5016d0a29dd4ac7d747c

It will be interesting to see who is going to play Lita Ford. Hope it won’t be Britney Spears.

I wonder if Kristen will have to learn to play guitar and sing for her Joan Jett role?
