Report: Rambow joins third “Narnia” film…

Leave a comment

Will Poulter the leading star of the “Son Of Rambow” joins the cast of the third “Chronicles of Narnia” film. The third “Narnia” film is titled, “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of Dawn Treader” (which is actually the fourth of the Narnia novels). Poulter will be playing the cousin of the Pevensie children in “Narnia”. Poulter will be joining the cast of a returning Ben Barnes as Prince Caspian and of course the rest of the original cast who plays the Pevensie kids.

Fuck yeah! I’m so thrilled that they are not wasting any time to get right to work on a third Narnia film!

I love the books so much and so happy they are making a film on all the novels!

Considering the fact that “The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe” is the second of the Narnia novels, I’m willing to bet they will do the rest of the movies first, then they will make the first Narnia novel “The Magician’s Nephew” into a prequel film. I think the reason they started off on “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” first is because the Pevensie kids are not in the first book.

I’ll always be looking forward to more “Narnia” films!

Report: Why Cheetah the Chimp gets no love on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame?

Leave a comment

At least 20 movie stars are getting their star for the Hollywood walk of fame. Everyone from Cameron Diaz to Tim Burton to Hugh Jackman to Robert Downey Jr. and plenty more to list but Cheetah the Chimp gets ignored.

The Associated Press Reports:

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gk8hiOClxoemZ2Nhb0aL0u3OXuEAD91DB5TG0

Why is Hollywood ignoring Cheetah? NEWS FLASH!!!!!!

It doesn’t deserve one!

I mean come on people! Think through your heads!!!!!

You have to look at how many iconic animal stars that never got the Star on the Walk of Fame.

Lets see here… how come Keiko the whale who played Willy in the “Free Willy” movies never got a star, eh? Keiko was a pretty well known whale for many years! What about friggin’ Beethoven the dog who is also an iconic animal from movies? How come Virgil the chimp from Matthew Broderick’s film “Project X” never got a star when Virgil was pretty popular too?

Oh yeah, and what about that horse who played Black in the “Black Stallion” sequels, how come that horse never got a star? How come Bart the Bear from the movie “The Bear” never got one? What about Milo and Otis? What about Babe the pig? What about Benji? What about Toto the dog in “Wizard of Oz”?

There are only two animals that do have a Walk of Fame…they are Lassie and Rin Tin Tin. They got one because they’ve been well known for years.

Cheetah the Chimp however is not that well known and not that much of a star. Cheetah is not in Lassie’s league, that’s why the monkey doesn’t deserve one. Sorry but that’s the truth you will have to accept and this is why Hollywood continues to blast down Cheetah everytime the chimp is requested for a star. Cheetah is not star power quality.

From AFI.com:

http://www.afi.com/10top10/

I agree with all the #1 choices.

I disagree with “Titanic” and the original “Star Wars” being in there ’cause in my opinion, they aren’t the best ever made.

I am dissapointed that “Superman II” or “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan” didn’t make the science fiction list.

“Big” starring Tom Hanks a fantasy? I consider that film a romantic comedy. While “Big” is a great film it is no where near considered the best work.

If they wanted a Tom Hanks film in the lists, “Big” shouldn’t even be in there. They should have put “Philadelphia” in the Court Room drama section and maybe “Forrest Gump” in the Epic section too.

Report: The Rock to Steve Carell, “Do you smell what the Rock is kissing?”

2 Comments

Is the Rock going gay in real life? Who knows! The Rock admits to enjoying locking lips with The Office star Steve Carell who he stars with in the “Get Smart” movie which is out this weekend! Yes, Dwayne and Steve make out in “Get Smart”, it’s been said that the man on man makeout scene in “Get Smart” was a real kiss. I believe the Rock plays a gay character in the film.

FOXNews reports:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,368304,00.html

Maybe this is the reason for Dwayne and his wife divorcing? I know bad joke.

There is nothing wrong with experimenting homosexuality just for a film, that’s it. I don’t think the Rock will come out of the closet in real life although he enjoyed that one experience.

Report: “Gears of War” live action movie on it’s way to the big screen, director found…

5 Comments

Film director Len Wiseman is confirmed to bring the very popular first person shooting game “Gears of War” to the big screen. He is also the director of “Live Free or Die Hard” (or Die Hard 4).

The story to “Gears of War” film revolves around a world being invaded by aliens, and a group of soldiers are set out to fight them off just like in the videogame.

The game “Gears of War” is only available for Xbox360, I don’t think it’s out for the Playstation 3 but I hope so soon because I’m dying to play the game myself.

Most movies adapted from videogames are pure crap, but I hope this will be a good one.

Report: “Angels and Demons” cast and crew banned at Rome churches…

Leave a comment

Ron Howard, Tom Hanks, Ewan McGregor, and the rest of the cast and crew filming the new “Angels and Demons” prequel has been banned from filming at the churches of Rome, it was outraged by the real life Vatican City. The cast and crew has been filming at real life historic places in Rome but they are not allowed to film at the churches there.

The reason is, in the book “The Da Vinci Code” had a story where Mary Magdalene married Jesus when in real life religious stories, Jesus was never married to Mary.

Reuters reports:

http://www.reuters.com/article/filmNews/idUSHAR66504420080616?pageNumber=1&virtualBrandChannel=0

Hmmmm, more reasons to hate religious people. Rev. Marco Fibbi shouldn’t blame Ron Howard and Tom Hanks for this, that’s bullshit. They weren’t the one that came up with the idea of Mary being married Jesus. They should blame the writer of the book that came up with that phony story, Dan Brown. How come Hanks and Howard get the blame for this? They’re just going by the script and what’s in the novel. They should ban Dan Brown from the Churches of Rome, not the film crew. Damn that Marco Fibbi FOOL!
