Not a lotof people are talking about John Williams score in “The Force Awakens” trailer…

Leave a comment

How about that score by John Williams in the new “Star Wars” trailer, hey?

Yes, in the opening of the trailer when it shows the wrecked Star Destroyer… you hear the old music from “A New Hope” but the rest of the trailer is all new music composed by John Williams.

I think it was the music of John Williams who helped get fans pumped up for the next film. Without the music of John Williams, then the trailer would have been less-interesting.

I’m just posting the trailer again ’cause it’s fuckin’ badass. I’ll admit that I was skeptical of JJ doing this film at first but now I think it’s gonna be great. Star Wars fanatics should be happy with this one.

2nd trailer of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” is here and it gave me goosebumps!!! WOW!!!!

Leave a comment

I’m blown away by this trailer. The trailer was very well done and this is HOW you make a movie trailer. I figure this trailer will get Star Wars fans pumped up and they did a good job doing just that.

Luke Skywalker does appear in the trailer, he’s the one with the mechanical hand touching R2D2 and Mark Hamill is obviously doing the voice overs. Princess Leia does appear in the trailer but you can’t see her face. Leia is seen handing someone a light saber. When Leia hands someone a light saber, did you noticed a ring on her finger? Is she and Han Solo married in this movie? That’s what it’s looking like to me. Who is Leia handing the light saber to?

Seeing Han Solo finally is fucking badass as well! Predictably Han Solo still looks the same except he’s much older now obviously.

As expected, this looks to be an action-packed Star Wars movie that would get fans jumping up and down on their seats excitedly feeling like a little kid again.

I’m blown away with the trailer. I’m sure we will see much more in Trailer #3. I’m sure they’ll let us see Luke’s and Leia’s face in the next one.

Will we see Luke Skywalker back in light saber action? I’m almost positive we will see Luke swinging the light saber around again ’cause fans will be disappointed if we don’t see Luke in action again. I’m sure it’s gonna be Luke vs. Kylo Ren at the end of the film.

I can’t fucking wait though! I’m definitely gonna try to see this on opening day.

2nd trailer of “Terminator: Genisys” arrives online…

Leave a comment

When I saw the first teaser of “Terminator: Genisys”, I wasn’t all that impressed with it but now that the second trailer is here, I think I’m pretty much sold to the movie now. I’m looking forward to it and can’t wait. I love Emilia Clarke, big fan of hers. After her role as Daenerys in “Game of Thrones”, she’s gonna be a huge movie star. Whenever she’s done with “G.O.T.”, she’ll probably move on to movies full time.

Ron Howard’s “Dark Tower” adaptation gets green lighted by Sony Studios…

4 Comments

Universal Studios said no. Warner Bros. says no. Sony Studios says, “Yes” to Ron Howard’s “Dark Tower” adaptation by Stephen King. These guys are struggling to get these films made. I would think the reason is, they’re too expensive and so much work. The other studios didn’t want to deal with all that.

I hope Sony won’t bail out as well and hope they do a good job with the first, “Dark Tower” film. I’m a huge fan of the books myself as I’ve read them all. I’ve always wanted to see these books be made into big screen movies. I wish them good luck ’cause these movies would be difficult to get made.

I love how Ron Howard is committed to these films and admire how he hasn’t given up. He has a lot of passion for the “Dark Tower”. I have a feeling that when these movies come out, the “Dark Tower” could become the next big franchise. I predict the “Dark Tower” could become just as big as the Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Star Wars.

The Dark Tower books are already very popular but these books will become best sellers again when the movies come out. A lot more people will be buying the books for sure. So I hope Sony does a good job. This is still gonna be a combination of movies and TV series like originally planned.

I hope they pick a good cast for Roland, Eddie Dean, Susan and Jake.

Film Review: “Fast and Furious 7”

Leave a comment

Starring: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, Kurt Russell, Dwayne Johnson

Directed by: James Wan

Today, I decided to hit the mall for something to do and I went to check out “Furious 7”. Here is my review…

Plot/Synopsis: Dominic Torretto and his crew thought they left the criminal mercenary life behind. They defeated an international terrorist named Owen Shaw and went their seperate ways. But now, Shaw’s brother, Deckard Shaw is out killing the crew one by one for revenge. Worse, a Somalian terrorist called Jakarde, and a shady government official called “Mr. Nobody” are both competing to steal a computer terrorism program called God’s Eye, that can turn any technological device into a weapon. Torretto must reconvene with his team to stop Shaw and retrieve the God’s Eye program while caught in a power struggle between terrorist and the United States government.

If you’re looking for an action packed thrill ride and if you’re a big fan of car chases, explosions, guns and all that stuff, you’re definitely gonna dig this movie. I think this is the best of the “Fast and Furious” franchise. The action scenes in the other films seems okay and they were just entertaining but that’s all they were but in “Furious 7”, you’re gonna see some pretty intense action. The action in this movie was more intense than the previous “Furious” films. The action scenes in “Furious 7” will keep your eyes glued to the screen. The action scenes were actually pretty unpredictable for sure!

The casting in this movie was pretty impressive as it was another all-star cast. I thought they all did a good job with the acting in this movie even Vin Diesel, Paul and the Rock did a great job. It was awesome to finally see Kurt Russell on the big screen ’cause he hasn’t starred in a big screen movie in a long time and this was a perfect comeback film for Kurt! Ronda Rousey had a small role in this film which was badass. She had a brief fight scene against Letty (Michelle’s character).

Even though the script was well-written, I felt the script was altered a little bit due to Paul’s sudden passing. It seemed they had a lot more of a story to get told but a lot of it was cut out or something.

It was just a great action movie and it’s the way an action film was supposed to be. James Wan was a perfect choice to direct this movie too. I think this is the final film of the “Furious” franchise and it was a prefect way to end the franchise. Of course, the ending was very sad and heartbreaking. I don’t wanna reveal too much but this movie was more of a tribute to Paul Walker. It’s a real shame to see so many people talked so much negative shit about Paul Walker’s death. The “Fast and Furious” crew really loved Paul and when you watch this movie, they wanted to show you that they really loved him like a brother.

Is this movie Oscar worthy as Vin Diesel claims? Yes it is but you know the Academy will never give it a nod. I can see “Furious 7” getting nominations for best sound, best editing but that’s about all. Maybe Paul Walker will get nominated for the film but it won’t get a Best Picture nod, though.

I was very impressed with “Fast 7”. You definitely gotta go see this film for yourself.

I’d give “Fast and Furious 7” a score of “5 out of 5” as in “Excellent”.

Star Wars finally coming to online streaming and downloads but avoiding Netflix…

Leave a comment

The Star Wars film franchise is finally arriving to online streaming and downloads. Soon you will be able to watch the six Star Wars films on Amazon, Google Play, Itunes Movies and Vudu.

I am noticing that they are avoiding Netflix streaming and I wonder why? Netflix and Disney are on good terms together as Netflix streaming has plenty of live action and animated Disney films. So I wonder why Star Wars isn’t on Netflix yet? I’m sure Star Wars will make Netflix streaming sometime in the future. Maybe not right now.

I already have all six Star Wars films on DVD but I’m missing the first Star Wars movie, “A New Hope”. I lost the disc somewhere so maybe I’ll just buy that one digitally in case I want to re-watch all the Star Wars film sometime ’cause I’m probably gonna end up wanting to re-watch them all before “The Force Awakens” come out later this year.

Another reason that Tom Cruise deserves more respect… he wants to do his own stunts…

Leave a comment

Once again, Tom Cruise may not be everyone’s favorite actor but here’s another reason that he’s worthy of some respect here. He wants to do his own action stunts. Most actors prefer green screen and stunt doubles but not Tom. When Tom wants to do a scene that is too dangerous and risky and when the director says “No”, Tom won’t take no for an answer. Tom will throw a temper tantrum and won’t stop fighting for it until the director lets him.

You see, here’s the thing… Tom maybe a bit of a jerk and he maybe pretty demanding when on set but I think what Tom wants is that he wants the action scenes to be real as possible. I think that’s the goal. He wants his action scenes to be realistic. He won’t use green screen or stunt doubles. Most of his scenes in his action movies are all him and done for real. These scenes maybe very dangerous and risky but he’s willing to sacrifice himself in order to pull off a really good action sequence. It’s all about the art. He’s just wants the movie to be real and not fake, ya know?

Love him or hate him, you gotta admit that Tom has balls. He’s certainly isn’t afraid of heights at all as you can see.

James Bond returns to Spectre island as I told you before!!!

Leave a comment

When Sony announced that the title of the next Bond film is gonna be “Spectre”, I knew just by the title alone that this is gonna be the return of Spectre Island and the return of the main villain, Ernst Stavro Blofeld who is the leader of Spectre. Christoph Waltz will be playing Blofeld as you can see in the trailer. I was right all along!

The film looks great and already feeling goosebumps!

No big action scenes yet but definitely the next trailer. This one is just a teaser! The story does look like it’s a continuation from “Skyfall”. I don’t think “Spectre” will top “Skyfall” but we’ll wait and see.

Vin Diesel trying to urge the Oscars to give action movies and sequels a chance???

Leave a comment

It’s no secret that the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences are not a big fan of action movies and sequels. It loos like Vin Diesel is trying to urge the Academy to give action films and sequels a chance. It’s very rare that the Academy gives action movies and sequels a chance. They do give action movies and sequels a chance but not very often. The first sequel to win Best Picture at the Oscars was “The Godfather part II” and that was a violent film too. Another sequel that won Best Picture was “Lord of the Rings: Return of the King” and that film had some action & violence as well. Another violent and dark film that won Best Picture was “Silence of the Lambs”. “Silence of the Lambs” wasn’t a sequel or an action film but still, it’s a horror and crime film and the Academy aren’t a big fan of those kind of films either.

http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2015/03/27/vin-diesel-furious-7-deserves-oscar-but-academy-doesnt-like-action-flicks/

I appreciate Vin Diesel for urging the Academy to have a change of direction but they never will. I do agree that action movies and violent films deserve a chance. Does “Fast 7” deserve a Best Picture win as Vin Diesel claims? I’ll have to see the film for myself which comes out next Friday and I do plan on seeing it. I love the “Fast and Furious” movies. They are fun flicks and entertaining as hell. I saw “Fast 6” in theater and was pretty impressed with the film.

“Fast 7” does deserve some type of Oscar nod ’cause it would be a great way to honor Paul Walker. I remember when Paul Walker’s tragic death was announced, he got so much hate and disrespect by movie fans and I can’t understand why. Yet they mourned for people such as Philip Seymour Hoffman instead. I think people shitted on Paul Walker ’cause thought he was a bad actor, period. Just because he wasn’t the greatest actor didn’t mean he had to get all of this hate. All actors and actresses deserve respect when they pass on ’cause they were all human like us. Shouldn’t matter whether you like them or not. The Fast and Furious crew really loved the guy!

I appreciate Vin Diesel on trying to change the direction of the Oscars but it will never work. There are really good action movies out there that deserve awards and accolades.
