Jennifer Lawrence also considered for “Ghostbusters” role???

1 Comment

I remember when I listed my choice of actresses for the upcoming all-female reboot of “Ghostbusters”, I remember mentioning Jennifer Lawrence being one of them. Look like my prediction on Jennifer Lawrence being one of the new Ghostbusters is gonna be right.

http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/entertainment/film-tv/news/lawrence-i-met-ghostbusters-feig-30823227.html

So far, the new female Ghostbusters is looking like it’s gonna be Rebel Wilson and Jennifer Lawrence. Who are gonna be the other two? I’m glad Jennifer is gonna be in this ’cause after the successful “Hunger Games” franchise, she’s gonna need another big franchise and Ghostbusters is perfect for her. This would make the third big franchise for Jennifer so far she has the “Hunger Games”, “X-Men” and looks like “Ghostbusters” is gonna be next.

Jennifer doesn’t have a comedic background too much but she’ll still make a great Ghostbuster. She could probably do the comedy thing quite well although she mostly does drama and action movies.

Who are the other two ladies gonna be???

Kristen Wiig maybe. Sarah Silverman is not a bad idea as well.

“Ghostbusters” all-female reboot just started casting and I actually like their first choice!!!

Look like Rebel Wilson who is known as Fat Amy from “Pitch Perfect” is the first choice for the all-female Ghostbusters reboot. I can deal with that. I love Rebel Wilson. I was actually thinking about her for the new Ghostbusters film. I can deal with Rebel Wilson than Melissa McCarthy. Rebel is funnier than Melissa.

It’s amazing to me, though… how Sony is committed to this movie not caring about the negative feedback. They really want this movie made pretty badly, hey? Sony knows about the public criticism of this movie, they just don’t care.

Who knows, maybe when the movie comes out, maybe we’ll actually enjoy it? We’ll have to wait and see, I guess. Maybe they feel the script is that good and we shouldn’t negatively judge this early.

Sony getting hacked thoughts…

Leave a comment

I think what’s going on with Sony is real sad. They don’t deserve that at all. Becoming a victim of hacking is not cool. Why are people doing this to them?

It could be that Kim Jong-un (Sp?) and North Korea are hacking Sony themselves as in retaliation for releasing that movie, “The Interview” w/ James Franco and Seth Rogen when they were told not to. Kim Jong-un threatened Sony not to release the film ’cause he felt it was offensive to him but of course, Sony ignored him and released the film anyways.

It could be that or the hacking could be by a bunch of losers with no jobs that have way too much time on their hands.

Sony getting hacked revealing top secret movie news that’s not supposed to be released yet, celebrities getting attacked like Angelina Jolie and Tom Hanks, many others. Crazy.

Hacking is becoming the next big thing in the technology world which is sad. That’s the way it goes, though. The bigger technology gets, the more it becomes “hacker” friendly.

I have no interest in seeing, “The Interview” film, by the way. I’ll still see it but I’ll wait for DVD rental for that one. I’m not really a big fan of either Franco and Rogen anyways. Both are terribly overrated actors and not that funny either. The only film I liked with James Franco in it was “127 Hours”.

Other than that, I hope Sony will be successful in finding out who is behind the hacking and hope they’ll get those responsible. It’s gonna be difficult, though. I don’t think they’ll ever find out who is behind the hacking ’cause it’ll be hard to trace them. They’re probably using proxy servers and all that stuff.

People who hack into others computers are usually people with no lives, though. They got nothing going on and that’s all they do.

The new 007 movie “Spectre”… what is “Spectre”???

Leave a comment

When the title for the new 007 flick was revealed as “Spectre” not too long ago, you probably wonder what the plot/synopsis of the movie is gonna be about”? Well, when you look at the word, “Spectre” the title, you’ll immediately start to know what it’s about just by the title alone. In the James Bond franchise, SPECTRE stands for (Special Executive for Counter-Intelligence, Terrorist, Revenge and Extortion) which means they are a global terrorist organization and that also means that they are probably bad guys. SPECTRE appeared in the very first Bond film, “Dr. No” and they are about to make a huge comeback in the film, “Spectre” with Daniel Craig.

More on SPECTRE here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPECTRE#Films

I just finished watching, “From Russia with Love” the second Bond film and there was a little bit of SPECTRE in that film as well. “From Russia With Love” is a great film by the way, too.

Spectre even have their own fictional island as well so the new Bond movie with Daniel Craig will probably be taken place on Spectre Island. Christoph Waltz is probably gonna play the leader of SPECTRE, Blofeld which is gonna be cool.

If you’re a long time Bond fan you would probably already know what SPECTRE already is. So it’s probably gonna be Bond vs. Spectre in the next film.

So far, I thought “Skyfall” was the best 007 film with Daniel Craig. Hopefully they do a good job with the next film. They just started filming “Spectre” today at Pinewood Studios. I hope they make it dark and violent like “Skyfall” was. Looking forward to the next Bond film.

I’m gonna try to watch all the old movies with Sean Connery and Roger Moore. I’ve seen all the newer ones with Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig. I didn’t like the Pierce Brosnan movies that much… he was terrible Bond, in my opinion.

Disappointed with “Terminator: Genisys” trailer, might wait for DVD rental on this one…

Leave a comment

Okay, I’m thinking about crossing off “Terminator: Genisys” as one of those movies for 2015 and might wait for rental on this one. Instead of a re-boot like they promised, it turned out to be a remake of both “The Terminator” and “T-2: Judgement Day”. Why not create a whole new story with new characters and not having anything to do with the first two films???

On top of that, nobody can play the T-1000 liquid Terminator better than Robert Patrick can. I still prefer the originals, why ruin them???

Thumbs down.

The title for Bond 24 is “Spectre” and full casting announced…

Leave a comment

Here’s the living one-sheet for Bond 24, the title of the next film is, “Spectre”. The film will star Daniel Craig, Ralph Fiennes, former WWE star Dave Bautista and Christoph Waltz.

The plot/synopsis haven’t been revealed yet, though. Notice that Judy Dench isn’t listed in the casting. I don’t want to reveal major spoilers but something happens to her character, M, in “Skyfall”.

WWE Star Dave Bautista in a Bond movie? Damn, that guy’s career is really taking off after him having a role in “Guardians of the Galaxy” in which I haven’t seen yet but will get around to it soon.

Looking forward to the next 007 flick and I’m sure we’ll get a trailer real soon.

Film Review: “Hunger Games: Mockingjay part 1″…

Leave a comment

Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Woody Harrelson

Directed by: Francis Lawrence

Today, I’ve just seen the new “Hunger Games” movie and here is my review:

Plot/Synopsis: When Katniss destroys the games, she goes to District 13 after District 12 is destroyed. She meets President Coin who convinces her to be the symbol of rebellion, while trying to save Peeta from the Capitol.

I’m reading a lot of fan reviews of what they thought of this movie and most of them are saying this film is disappointing ’cause they claim that this film is slow and boring. Not as action packed and violent like the first two were. In this Hunger Games movie, there was very little action scenes. It mostly focused on story and dialogue which is good actually. If you’re a teenager and a fan of the first two movies, you would probably find this movie disappointing but I didn’t.

I thought the film was very good but keep in mind this is only the first half of one really LONG movie. I’m happy they focused on more story and acting than the violence. It gave the actors and the cast a chance to shine with their acting talent which the film did exactly that. Everybody killed it in this movie: Jennifer was great, Phillip Seymour Hoffman of course killed it, Donald Sutherland was amazing as usual… everybody did a great job. It was a pretty intense movie and the film was a lot darker than the first two. The plot was pretty intelligent and I liked where the story was headed to. The story had some pretty interesting twists and turns.

“Mockingjay part 1” was only a buildup of what’s about to happen in the 2nd part so I’m sure the second part will be even better. Was the reason the first part didn’t have much violence and action scenes ’cause they were gonna save that stuff for the second part? I think so. I think they were saving the action stuff for “Mockingjay part 2”. In this movie, the less action scenes, the more drama this movie showed which is what I loved about it.

Before thinking about seeing these movies, you have to watch the first two films: “The Hunger Games” and “Catching Fire” first so you can understand the story and know what’s going on.

Oh yeah, the song that Jennnifer sings for the movie, “The Hanging Tree” is fuckin’ amazing. Loved it. That song didn’t go viral on the internet for no reason. I’m actually thinking about downloading that one song for my Ipod from the soundtrack.

This wasn’t the best “Hunger Games” movie but once you see the rest of “Mockingjay part 2”, I’m sure will be amazing. They’re just saving the best for the last.

I’ll give “Hunger Games: Mockingjay part 1” a score of 4 out of 5 as in “good”. Looking forward to part 2 next year.

Tom Cruise… I don’t understand all the hate toward him…

Leave a comment

I know Tom Cruise is not everyone’s favorite actor but I can never understand why. I’ve always liked him. Love him or hate him, you just don’t want to admit that you watched most of his movies over the years like most of us. The guy really knows how to pick his movies. Although you don’t wanna admit it, I’m sure you’ve all seen his classics like “Top Gun”, “Rain Man”, “Cocktail”, “Legend”, “Risky Business”, “Born On The 4th Of July”, and many others. I’m sure you continue to watch his newer films as well.

Last week, I finally got around to watching Tom’s newest sci-fi movie, “The Edge of Tomorrow” and it was actually really good. I was surprised by it. The story was entertaining and the action scenes were a blast. Tom was actually fun to watch in that movie too.

I also listened to Tom’s podcast episode with “The Nerdist” on the Ipad last week. “The Nerdist” podcast hosted by Chris Hardwick, you’ve probably heard of it. While Tom may seem like an intimidating guy, he’s not really. After listening to that podcast, I was surprised on how normal and real he really was. On the podcast, Tom sounded down to earth and friendly to me. He was also funny and had a good sense of humor. He’s just a normal human being like the rest of us. He doesn’t take fame and fortune seriously. He got into the movie business ’cause he’s obsessed with movies and wanted to be a part of it. It wasn’t about the money and fame for him.

I never understood all the hate toward Tom Cruise over the years. He seems like a good dude to me. Maybe it’s his Scientology that people don’t like, that’s probably it but I don’t care about his religion. I think Tom is a talented man and he gives us a lot of good movies, love him or hate him. I’ve always respected him and had no problem with him over the years. He deserves more respect, in my opinion.

Movies to look forward to in 2015…

3 Comments

While you’re patiently waiting for my upcoming, “Top 15 Best Films of 2014” list to come out (which will come out at the end of the year), I thought it would be a good idea to list all of the movies I’m looking forward to next year in 2015.

Yeah, 2015 looks like it’s gonna be a pretty big fuckin’ year for films. Holy crap!!!

In this list, I’ll name 15 movies that I’m looking forward to in 2015, in no particular order:

  • Star Wars: The Force Awakens – (This one definitely tops the list, of course, it’s Star Wars!!!)
  • Jurassic World: (I’m a huge Jurassic Park fan, love all the movies, even III was really good)
  • Terminator: Genisys (I’m a huge Terminator fan and glad Arnie’s back for this one, looking forward to the trailer Thursday)
  • Bond 24: (I’m a big 007 fan too and so far, “Skyfall” is the best Daniel Craig 007 flick, hopefully the next one will be just as good. The title will be revealed this Thursday as well)
  • The Avengers: Age of Ultron: (I loved the first Avengers movie and will be seeing the second)
  • Pitch Perfect 2: (Loved the first Pitch Perfect film, will be seeing the second)
  • Pan: (The Peter Pan movie with Hugh Jackman looks great, I’m definitely there)
  • Fast and Furious 7: (I love the F & F movies, and I was real impressed with F & F 6 from last year. F & F 7 looks even better)
  • The Hateful Eight: (New Quentin Tarantino movie, WOOT!!! I look forward to every movie he comes out with)
  • Mad Max: Fury Road: (Despite Mel not being in it, the film actually looks pretty badass. I’ll check it out)
  • Vacation: (The new National Lampoon’s movie with the Griswolds. Yes, Chevy will reprise his legendary role as Clark Griswold. The Griswold’s are coming back to the big screen. I’m sure we’ll see a trailer very soon!)
  • MI: 5: (Yeah, there’s another Mission Impossible movie coming out with Tom Cruise and it won’t come out until Christmas Day in 2015)
  • St. James Place: (This is a new Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks collaboration.This will be their 4th movie together actually. This movie is written by the Coen Bros. too. We’ll see a trailer pretty soon)
  • The Hunger Games: Mockingjay part 2: (The final installment of the Hunger Games franchise. I’m planning to see “Mockingjay Part 1” tomorrow)
  • The Walk: (This is a Robert Zemeckis directed flick, a biopic film about the famous high-wire artist, Philippe Petit, where he walks on a wire between the World Trade Center buildings. I’m sure you’ve heard of that guy before, see the documentary about it, “Man On Wire” on Netflix)

I would have added, “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice” but it got pushed back to 2016 sadly. Those are all the flicks I’m looking forward to next year. Enjoy!

Burt Reynolds is not broke, settle down people!!!

Leave a comment

Rumors starting swirling the nets that Burt Reynolds lost all of his money after his announcement that he’s putting together an auction in Las Vegas to sell more than 600 items that he had in his movies and all sorts of memorabilia. Burt is quick on squashing the rumors about being broke as you can see in the article here.

Burt is not broke, people. He’s not gonna end up like Scott Stapp. Burt is still loaded. Why is Burt getting rid of a lot of his important stuff??? The actor says he’s just wants to get rid of ’em. He jokes that he’s sick of his seeing his own face hanging on the walls. Maybe he just wants to make more room for his house and  things like that.

Burt Reynolds is a genius, though. I’ve been a fan of his work over the years. Burt Reynolds is the shit!!! Hollywood legend, for sure!!!
