Report: “Twilight” changes release date to Nov. 21st…

Leave a comment

Are you looking forward to seeing the teen vampire flick “Twlight” so much that you think December 12th is so long to wait? Don’t fear! The film “Twilight” has just changed it’s release date to Nov. 21st of this year since the new Harry Potter film was pushed back.

The reason for the move is that they want fans of the book to get an opportunity to see the film earlier since it’s popularity of the book at Comic Con and “Breaking Dawn” being a best seller.

BREAKING NEWS: Mike Myers joins “Inglorious Bastards”!!!!!

Leave a comment

Oh my! Another shocking casting addition to Quentin Tarantino’s WWII flick “Inglorious Bastards”! Yes, you heard that right! The Waynes World, Austin Powers and the Love Guru star, Mike Myers will star alongside Brad Pitt in “Bastards”.

Myers will play British General Ed Fenech, a military mastermind who’s mission to plot out a plan to destroy Nazis.

Myers going for something that is not a comedy film this time. Like Myers will have to speak an English accent and knowing how good he is at creating different voices when he speaks, I think that’s the reason alone Tarantino wanted him for the film.

This is an interesting cast so far.

Still no confirmation on Sly Stallone yet, but if anything, I’ll still see the movie in theater even if Sly isn’t in it or not ’cause I love Tarantino flicks.

Report: Bruce Campbell on Sam Raimi game for Evil Dead 4, “When he’s ready, I’m ready”!!!

Leave a comment

Bruce Campbell have been saying for years that when Sam Raimi is ready to do another Evil Dead movie, Bruce will be welcome to do it no matter what happens. Sam Raimi is definitely planning another one and things are looking great with Evil Dead 4!!!! So look like another Evil Dead movie is definitely happening!

Bruce says there is no synopsis/plot and no script yet but they are already planning on an aging Ash trying to survive a bunch of demons that came from the book of the dead. Bruce says they plan not to use a younger sidekick. You know how everytime a sequel is made, the hero have a younger partner? Like Shia Labeouf in Indy 4 for example? That’s not gonna happen with the next Evil Dead film.

This is really good news. I’m so glad there is going to be another Evil Dead movie.

What should the plot be in the next Evil Dead movie? Will Ash be locked in S-mart trying to fight off the demons in the store to leave off from “Amy of Darkness? That be kind of cool.

But I think it be even better if Ash is finally at home resting from fighting all the demons, but somehow the recording of the demons spell ended up in Ash’s own home, Ash gets trapped in his own home trying to fight off demons. Ash using different weapons and coming up with creative ways to kill demons.

I’m pretty sure Sam and Bruce plans on making the next Evil Dead movie low budget style like the first 3, they’re not gonna use high tech CGI and stuff like Sam did with the Spiderman flicks. I remember Sam did say he wants to stay true to the earlier Evil Dead movies.

When another Evil Dead movie comes out, I’m sure it will be a major success in the box office, maybe not as successful as the Batman/Spiderman flicks but I’m sure Evil Dead 4 will be a hit. Evil Dead deserves one more movie to close out the series, the writers can find a way to end these demons for good so Ash can live with peace. Should Evil Dead 4 end with a happy ending where Ash survives or should he die? You just never know what Sam and Rob is gonna come up with.

Film Review: The Ruins

Leave a comment

Starring: Jonathan Tucker, Shawn Ashmore, Joe Anderson, Jena Malone, and Laura Ramsey

Directed by: Scott B. Smith

 

So I finally got around to watching “The Ruins” last night, a horror film which centers a group of friends going on a trip in Cancun, to visit an archeological site of the Mayan ruins. The 4 friends Jeff, Eric, Amy and Stacy stay in Cancun for a while to party and have some fun before visiting the ruins. They run into another friend named Pablo who knows where the place is by a drawn map he has. When they finally take the trip to the Ruins site which may look like a small pyramid or a temple of some sort, they notice the ruins were covered with these green plants that has red flowers on them. Armed Mayans people were gaurding the site so in order to survive, the 4 friends were forced to live on top of the Ruins until help came along because the place has an abandoned campsite. Those long plants has flowers that makes loud noises, if you make a noise, the plants will start to move and they could be moved inside humans bodies, it could be infective and could kill people.

My thougthts on the film? According to critics and fans of the movies online, people said it was scary and gory and too disturbing to watch. As a huge fan of the horror film genre, I didn’t once find the film all that gory and never once found the film to be all that scary either. The storyline and acting was pretty good, but I think the film would be a lot scarier if the film didn’t have any gore at all.

I didn’t find any disturbance in it and didn’t jump at all once. I know how horror films work as I said many times I am obsessed with the horror genre so I know all about it. Those who think it’s scary and disturbing must be new to the horror genre, but a longtime horror fan like myself would agree it was nothing all that scary but it did have it’s creepy moments.

It was an ok film. Nothing that excellent that people were making it out to be. I’ve seen better films than this.

Score for the Ruins = ** (2 stars as in ok)

Report: Tom Cruise was never set to star in “Edwin A. Salt” in the first place…

Leave a comment

With the reports of Angelina Jolie taken over Tom Cruise for “Edwin A. Salt”, it turns out that it wasn’t true that Tom Cruise was signed to the movie in the first place. So this doesn’t make Angelina Jolie Tom’s replacement. The real story is according to close source to the film, the source says that Tom Cruise was asked to star in it but he turned down the role.

Tom Cruise is currently trying to bring his movie career back on track, Cruise’s next film which will be released soon is Bryan Singer’s World War II film titled “Valkyrie” set to release December 26th of 2008 this year. Cruise recently signed on to a comedy titled “Food Fight” who plays a chef who is forced to cook meals at a high school cafeteria.

More on it here:

I think Tom Cruise’s movie career is just about dead. Tom’s been banned from Paramount, his last movie “Lions for Lambs” flopped in the box office.

I think the only way he can bring his career back on track to a box office success if only he does another Mission Impossible movie but those movies are made through Paramount and he can’t make movies through that studio anymore.

I used to love Tom Cruise in the movies in the past, he used to be great, but the way he’s acting in the media as of late, I am no longer a fan of his.

Edit for correction: “Valkyrie” comes out this year Dec. 26th, not next year.

Report: Lionsgate to make Conan, and new writers too…

Leave a comment

Lionsgate studios has got the go ahead to make the “Conan” movie. New writers have been hired to write the script. Screenwriters Dirk Blackman and Howard McCain have been hired to pen the film. The same writers also have another new fantasy epic adventure titled “Amazon” which Scarlett Johansson is attached to star the leading role in as a sword fighting female warrior. Both of these films will be made by Lionsgate studios. No directors have been hired yet for either film but they are looking.

Lionsgate is planning to get the “Conan” film into production as soon as possible. Just like the Batman series is starting over again with a clean slate, Lionsgate plan to do the same with the Conan franchise. The original Conan movies, “Conan The Barbarian” and “Conan The Destroyer” starred Arnold Schwarzenegger as the hero but hollywood feels the films can go on without him.

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

Lets hope they pick a good actor for Conan. And lets hope they do it good.

Who should be the director of this film?

I’d say give it to Ridley Scott after seeing what he did to “Legend” and “Gladiator”, I think he would make a very good Conan movie.

Report: George Clooney is up for “The Challenge”…

Leave a comment

George Clooney just bought the rights to make a film titled “The Challenge” which Clooney himself may possibly write it, direct it and star the leading role in although Clooney’s spokesperson say he hasn’t confirmed which role he will take part in for the film.

“The Challenge” will be adapted by the novel written by Jonathan Mahler. This film will be similar to “Michael Clayton” as “The Challenge” will be centered around lawyers. The synopsis for “The Challenge”, is about a lawyer named Charles Swift (which I believe who Clooney will play) and law professor Neal Katyal mission is to make sure that the Osama Bin Laden driver, Salim Hamdan gets a fair trial.

Clooney have been after Mahler’s novel for quite some time and the author gave Clooney the go ahead to make the film.

Hamdan was sentenced Aug. 7th to 66 months in prison in support of terrorism but was acquitted of the serious charge to committ murder.

While George is mostly known as an actor, he is a very good director too. I enjoy his directing style. And I hope he directs this one.

Report: Linda Hamilton to have a role as Sarah Connor in “Terminator: Salvation”? Eh, sort of…

Leave a comment

Linda Hamilton who played the original Sarah Connor in the first “Terminator” and “Terminator 2: Judgement Day” maybe in talks to have a role in the new Terminator film, “Terminator Salvation” but Hamiltons reps and lawyers responded to those rumours and shot them down that it’s not true.

The closest that she’ll ever be in the film that Linda Hamilton may have a picture taken for a photo that John Connor will have in the film, the film crew are trying to get her permission to take photos of her.

Don’t fret, Lena Headey who is the star of the “Sarah Connor Chronicles” TV series will not replace Linda Hamilton for the new film because that isn’t McG’s plan. Ever since James Cameron left the Terminator franchise, Linda Hamilton herself made a vow that she will NOT star in a Terminator film unless Cameron was helming it. She will not do a Terminator film without him.

More on it here:

Even though Linda may not be in the new film at least McG should have flashback scenes of Sarah Connor from the first two films, that be sweet to see flashbacks.
