Thought: While “The Dark Knight” may not top “Titanic”, I have a feeling “Twilight” just might…

Leave a comment

This movie “Twilight” a romantic teen vampire film adapted from the popular young adult novel written by Stephenie Meyer, just may have a chance of topping “Titanic” in box office domestically if “The Dark Knight” doesn’t.

Everytime I read about “Twilight”, I become even more anticipated in the film. The story sounds very interesting. I am also liking how the cast of the film is full of unknown actors. Actors that we never know about.

Stephenie Meyer just released the final “Twilight” book of the series, titled “BreakIng Dawn” and that book seems to be creating a lot of controversy. The “Twilight” film has created a huge internet buzz. Much larger than “The Dark Knight”.

You think, why is this movie about a teenage girl falling in love with a vampire? You may think, that story is so stupid and nothing new. If you know vampires as well as I do, that’s the whole point of vampires. Vampire stories are mostly love, romance and women. Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” is a perfect example of this. The same goes for Nosferatu and Anne Rice’s “Interview with the Vampire” series.

The film “Twilight” hits theaters December 12th and I will be there to see it. I am glad that vampires are finally making a return to the movie industry.

Don’t worry folks, “Titanic” will be off the list as the number one movie in the world soon since box office movies are getting much higher these days. You just never know what movie will top “Titanic”. I just think “Twilight” may be the one.

Report: Nicolas Cage and John Carpenter team up for “Scared Straight”…

Leave a comment

Actor Nicolas Cage and legendary horror film director John Carpenter are in final negotiations with Nu Image/Millenium to make a prison thriller titled “Scared Straight”.

The “Scared Straight” synopsis is about a young teenage boy who is sent to an adult prison who is sentenced there for a short period of time. While the teen serves his sentence in an adult prison, a riot breaks out and prison inmates hold him hostage. Nic Cage plays a prisoner who is serving a life sentence (that’s what being a “lifer” means) and he is forced to rescue the troubled teen from the other prisoners.

Nicolas Cage is currently filming “Bad Lieutenant” remake which also stars Val Kilmer and Eva Mendes.

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

Hmmm, Cage in a prison film again? Remember the film “Con Air”? That was one of my favorite films of his.

A lot of people don’t really care for Nicolas Cage but I like the guy a lot. He’s very enjoyable and he’s a good actor.

He’s a busy hard working actor who never seems to stop. It’s about time he’s got the opportunity to team up with John Carpenter when that should have happened a long time ago! This film is gonna be fuckin’ sweet!

Report: Michael Bay says Shia Labeouf’s hand injury will be written in script for “Transformers” sequel…

Leave a comment

Even a dangerous car wreck that almost killed actor Shia Labeouf is not stopping Michael Bay from finishing “Transformers 2”. While Shia may have a busted up hand and he’s hurting badily, Michael Bay plans to continuing working on the sequel to Transformers. Bay plans on re-working the script by writing Shia’s hand injury into the movie, so Shia’s character in the film will have an injured hand.

Shia was found not at fault during the accident and he was cleared of that charge, but he is still on charge for DUI. Bay defends the kid, saying he wasn’t drunk that night and predicts that charge will be dropped too.

More on it here:

While I do like the first “Tranformers” film and “Indy 4”, I don’t see anything special about Shia’s acting. He’s not amazing or great that people are making him out to be.

I see him just a regular actor doing his job.

Everytime I see Shia on the big screen, he reminds me so much of a young Ralph Macchio.

Report: Arnold to be CGI in “Terminator Salvation” and do voice overs???

Leave a comment

McG, the director of “Terminator Salvation” has teased at Comic Con that Arnold Schwarzenegger may actually be in the new film. While he is still keeping secrets underwraps, he is still giving small hints that the Governator may have a pretty big role in the film, but the Arnold Terminator maybe CGI. My guess is that they will take Arnold’s image from the first three Terminator films and make him CGI for T-4. Arnold himself may have time to go into the studio to do voice overs, the real Arnold himself may not be in the film at all, just a CGI Arnold with him doing voice overs if that makes sense.

More on it here:

I believe it’s true. Arnold will be in it, don’t worry.

I’m sure the CGI Arnold as the Terminator will appear toward the end of the film.

I am actually very anticipated for this film now. In the past, I used to worry it’s going to be bad, but after I’ve seen the teaser, I’m like, woah, this is gonna be a great Terminator film! I love “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” and I hope this one will be just as good!

Report: Robert Deniro to star alongside Mel Gibson in “Edge of Darkness”…

Leave a comment

Robert Deniro is close to signing a deal to star alongside Mel Gibson in “Edge of Darkness”, a film adapted from a BBC TV mini series. The film is directed by Martin Campbell and shooting begins this month in Massachussetts.

Mel Gibson plays a homicide detective whose 24 year old daughter was murdered on the front steps of his home, he assumed that he was the target, but then he investigates his daughter’s secret life and her past. Deniro will play an operative who helps cleans up the evidence.

Mel Gibson’s last acting role to the big screen was M. Night Shyamalan’s “Signs” way back in 2002. Mel then made a vow to stay away from acting and concentrate on directing with such films like “The Passion” and “Apocalypto”. So much for Mel’s acting retirement since he is back in leading roles again.

Variety reports:

The question is will Mel do “Lethal Weapon 5” or “Mad Max 4”?

I don’t want another “Lethal Weapon” film but another Mad Max would be great.

Leave a comment

After more than 25 years of not getting along and feuding, Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong, buries the hatchet and ready to tour again with live comedy shows. They tried to reunite before but it failed because the two were always fighting all the time. They finally came to a realization that life is too short to hold negative grudges that they want to do something good before they get any older.

Cheech and Chong are legendary stand up comedians who mostly sang songs about drug use and other obscene adult humor. The two has also made plenty of comedy films such as “Up In Smoke”, “Cheech and Chong’s Next Movie”, “Nice Dreams”, “It Came From Hollywood”, “The Corsican Brothers” “Still Smokin'”, and others.

The Associated Press reports:

Awesome! Cheech and Chong rules!

What do you say? One more “Cheech and Chong” comedy film for the big screen? I’d say Hollywood should go for it! 🙂

Billboard reports:

Great choice for the Bond theme. I like Jack White and I like Alicia Keys too believe it or not. While I hate today’s pop music, I actually do like a very few pop singers. The pop singers I do enjoy listening to are Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, Amy Winehouse and Kanye West.

But on top of that, I’m really looking forward to the new James Bond flick coming out, I will see that one too.
