George Miller finally explains why Mel Gibson wasn’t casted for “Mad Max: Fury Road”…

Before Mad Max 4 began production, fans of the Mad Max series begged George Miller to bring Mel Gibson back as the role of Max Rockatansky. This is what the fans wanted for a long time was for Mel to reprise this legendary role but now fans have to go through a disappointment now that they learned that Mel was replaced by Tom Hardy. George Miller who directed all of the Mad Max movies finally explains why. It wasn’t because of his 2006 arrest and anti-Semetic scandals. It’s just that George simply felt that Mel is too old.

Mel is too old, my ass!!! Come on George! Mel is STILL doing violent action movies and he seems to be doing fine doing all of his own stunts. I’m sure there is still a way to write Mel in Mad Max 4 somehow so it can make a little more sense to have an aging Max fighting off the bad guys.

I don’t know if I’ll be able to see “Mad Max: Fury Road” ’cause I can’t see a Mad Max movie without Mel ’cause I’m a huge fan of the original trilogy. Of course, “The Road Warrior” will always be the best Mad Max film. I think I’ll pass on the “Mad Max: Fury Road” ’cause they simply neglected Gibson.

Don’t get me wrong, “Fury Road” looks alright but I don’t really like Tom Hardy all that much.

I think Mel would have done fine if he still played the character. I just totally disagree with George on that one.

Arnold confirms he is finished filming, “Terminator: Genisys”…

Arnold confirms that he is finished filming all of his scenes for “Terminator: Genisys”, the new Terminator film that will hit theaters in July of 2015.

This should be the big summer movie and I can’t wait! I’m a huge Terminator fan and so happy that Arnold is back in the role. I’m sure Arnold’s role will be more than just a cameo. I’m sure Arnold will have a few big fight scenes.

What do you think? Do you think Arnold has what it takes to play the Terminator at this age? I’d say yes. Arnold is still doing action films doing his own stunts so I’m sure he did fine. This is a new Terminator reboot so this film will have nothing to do with the past films. A new introduction and a new beginning.

I think Arnold is still on for one more Conan film so hopefully that happens soon!

Look like there’s going to be a UK Office continuation after all!!! David Brent on his way to the big screen!!!

This is pretty sweet! Even though the UK Office is done and over with, I’m glad Ricky is still not done playing the David Brent character. I think he’s just doing this for the fans. Fans kept begging Ricky to bring David Brent back so he responded.

I’m definitely looking forward to this!!! Even though the big screen movie is heading toward a different direction, I hope other characters from the UK Office would make appearances for the film. Wouldn’t it be cool to see Gareth, Tim and Dawn make cameos? I thought they were great characters.

I’m definitely looking forward to this one!

Film Review: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

Starring: Andy Serkis, Jason Clarke, Keri Russell, Gary Oldman

Directed by: Matt Reeves

Today, I’ve just seen the new Planet of the Apes movie, “Dawn of the Planet of The Apes”. I was gonna go see the movie, “Lucy” but I ended up seeing the new Planet of the Apes movie instead. Here is my review…

Plot/Synopsis: A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth’s dominant species.

The first “Planet of the Apes” with James Franco was just pretty good. Nothing great, nothing amazing. Just a pretty good film. I have been a huge Planet of the Apes fan for years. I’m a huge fan of all the Planet of the Apes movies and the TV series. I even enjoyed the Tim Burton remake a lot too. Yeah, I’m a die-hard Planet of the Apes fan and still am.

It’s very rare that sequels can be better than the first one. Most sequels of Hollywood movies are really bad but this one can be an exception. I thought “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” was a very impressive as hell movie. Definitely way better than the first. 10 times better. Finally, we get a movie with a great script that is smart and enjoyable. The casting is very good. We don’t have too many big names stars. The only big name star in the movie is obviously Gary Oldman who killed it like usual. Well, Andy Serkis who voices Caeser can be considered a big name too, I guess.

This movie is about war. Apes vs. Humans. This movie is also about betrayal and hatred so the movie is obviously very dark. The first movie was more of a family-friendly kind of film, the second one was a lot darker. I was at the edge of my seat throughout the whole film and I wasn’t bored.

Of course, the movie has plenty of action. The action scenes are entertaining as hell too. You wanna see apes get into some serious fighting? You would see apes fight like humans do. What’s different about this film is that apes uses guns. All the apes care for each other and they look out for each other. They don’t trust humans so they protect each other the best they can. In the first movie, they got rid of most humans and took over the world ’cause they didn’t like how humans treated the apes. Humans who survived have lost everything and they want to help the apes and not go to war with them.

The movie is also visually stunning and cinematography was impressive. I thought this was a very intense film and so far, this is the best film of 2014. Pretty high up there. I would recommend you check this film out if you’re an POTA fan. If you’re a newbie, I wouldn’t recommend seeing this movie right away ’cause you need to see the first one in order to understand the story.

I’m already looking forward to the third one now!

Two thumbs up!

Funny photo of Dolph during the filming of Rocky IV…

Here’s a younger Dolph Lundgren having a chat with actress Grace Jones. Dolph just dropped this photo on his facebook page and thought it would be worth sharing here. It seems like Grace is trying to invite him over for a good time, hey? I bet Dolph got himself a lot of pussy back in the day.

Dolph is one of my favorite actors, though. I love Dolph Lundgren movies. I even loved all of his b-movies that he starred in over the years.

Kev

Edit to add: I can’t tell whether Grace Jones is either a man or a woman. I’m sure you would agree.

First the Ghostbusters is going all female… now the Expendables going all female too???

At Cannes film festival, Avi Lerner the producer of “The Expendables” franchise revealed that he is planning an all-female Expendables that will be titled, “The Expendabelles”. He also said they are writing the final lines of the script and they should start shooting in the beginning of next year.

Stallone said he wants Sigourney Weaver to star as his on-screen wife and he wants her to lead, “The Expendabelles” group.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/sylvester-stallone-wants-sigourney-weaver-723193

What’s with the new all-female trend in Hollywood???

“The Expendabelles” sounds like a title of a low budget soft-core porn film, HA!!!!

An action movie with hot babes??? I’m all for that!

As for my dream casting of this movie how about: Rhonda Rousey, Gina Carano, Michelle Rodriguez, Scarlett Johansson, Milla Jovovich, Zoe Saldana, Rooney Mara, and Uma Thurman.

Why did I pick Uma Thurman??? Well she did some great action with the two “Kill Bill” movies so she might be a good addition to this.

It’s gonna be kind of tough for Sly and Avi to find tough looking chicks for an action flick. Those actresses I listed above would probably be the best choices.

If this movie doesn’t show boobs or legs, then this film would be worthless. Sex and action should go together for this one if they want it to work. Maybe that’s the whole idea???

More on “Ghostbusters III”…

I was just doing a little research on “Ghostbusters III” and the reason that Dr. Ray Stantz won’t be able to catch ghosts by himself is that it isn’t only because of his age. It’s just that he has knee problems, he might be blind in one eye, he’ll be having hip issues and he’ll be too fat to fit into his Ghostbusters jumpsuit. Of course, things could always change with the script re-writes and all that stuff.

As you read here: http://ghostbusters.wikia.com/wiki/Ghostbusters_III

… the original idea was that they were gonna go for three young men and one young girl in their 20’s so obviously they changed it to 4 young girls instead.

Even though Bill Murray still hasn’t said anything on whether or not he’s gonna reprise his role as Peter Venkman, never say never. There’s still plenty of time for him to respond still. Dan said Bill is always welcome when he wants to. So if Bill says yes, it’ll probably be for a short role. I really do hope Bill signs on. It’ll definitely help the box office if he agrees to appear. Bill is just like the rest of us, he wants the third one to be good. He’s taking the script seriously. I hope Bill goes for it… we’ll have to wait and see. That’ll be cool to see Ray and Peter train the 4 girls together.

I’m a huge Ghostbusters fan. I’m only a fan of the first one. The first one is a classic. I didn’t like the 2nd one that much. The only scene I liked in “Ghostbusters 2” was when Louis Tully tried to defend the Ghostbusters by saying something like, “I was taken over by a dog and they helped me” and Egon responded with, “Very good Louis. Short but pointless”. That was the best scene of the whole movie but other than that, the film was trash. I can understand why people would be skeptical of GIII.

When Ray Stantz returns, he’ll be the same old crazy Dr. Ray. When the girls catch their first ghost, I can see Ray going nuts like, “WOW, that’s great!!!” Like he always does. Even though Dan haven’t played the character in a long time, I’m sure he’s gonna kill it. Dan did a great job voicing the character for the Video Game so he will be able to play the character well with no problem.

I like Dan Aykroyd. Always did. The guy is a legend and a comic genius. I’ve always admired his speed-talking skills which is what he’s most famous for.

Hopefully, they’ll finally start filming “GIII” in 2015. They’ve been wanting to do this movie since the 2nd one and glad they’re finally getting closer to finally making it.

An all female Ghostbusters group could work… and I’m willing to give it a chance!!!

With Harold Ramis now being dead and Bill Murray still no longer wants any part of Ghostbusters at all, it makes a lot of sense to reboot Ghostbusters. The idea of “Ghostbusters 3” is that the original Ghostbusters will pass the torch to new and young “Ghostbusters”. In the beginning, they were gonna do an all young male group but they changed it to an all female Ghostbusters group.

I actually like an all female Ghostbusters group. While the plot to the new Ghostbusters movie haven’t been revealed yet… you can still get an idea of what the plot is going to be. This movie is gonna be about Dr. Ray Stantz training new rookie’s to be new Ghostbusters. Since Harold Ramis is now gone, they’re probably gonna make it so that Dr. Egon Spengler is gonna be dead in the film. Since Bill Murray is still not in, they’re probably gonna make it that Dr. Peter Venkman has retired and moved on. Who knows what happened to Winston Zeddemore? Ray is still the only Ghostbuster. Ray is getting old and he wants to move on and to retire. New York City is still being attacked by ghosts all over the place and Dr. Ray Stantz can’t do it all by himself ’cause of his age so he’s looking for new recruits.

Dr. Ray Stantz goes around looking for new people to be a part of the new Ghostbusters team. He couldn’t find anybody that would work so he figures that young females would be better. Why would young females be better? Probably because they are smart. More physical. Young women can move quicker and faster. Young women have the ability to catch ghosts. Ghosts would probably communicate with women better than men. Ray finds that young women are better at catching ghosts than men. That’s why he have chosen young women.

I don’t think young men as Ghostbusters would work ’cause they wouldn’t be a box office draw. Young women would be a box office draw. They would probably make the young women good looking and sexy.

Ghostbusters is a mix of comedy, action, horror and science-fiction. All mixed into one and “Ghostbusters 3” will still be the same. We will still get the same equipment and gadgets like the Proton packs, P.K.E. Meters, traps but I’m sure we’ll get a different design. I’m sure Ghostbusters uniform will still be the same. With new technology in filming these days, we will definitely get more CGI and all kinds of cool special effects with the new movie.

The new Ghostbusters will still be in the same style as the first one, just with young females instead. Having men being the heroes is getting old. It’s time for something different and something new. I think an all girl Ghostbusters is a nice idea and I’m willing to give it a chance. An all female Ghostbusters is already creating controversy. Fans are bashing this idea like crazy but honestly, I think they’ll like it when the actual movie comes out.

I think the girls have what it takes to put on an entertaining as hell Ghostbusters movie. I’m sure they’ll keep it funny and comical just like the original.

I’m sure Slimer and Stay Puff the Marshmellow Man will make an appearance. Hopefully, we get a few surprising cameos by characters of the original Ghostbusters film. It’ll be kind of sweet if Rick Moranis makes a cameo as Louis Tully. Maybe Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver) could make a cameo too.

I’m interested in seeing how they’re gonna pull this off. Sony and Dan Aykroyd seems committed with this project. They’re gonna move forward with it despite the mixed criticism. I’m glad “G3” is finally happening. Now that they got a director, they should start casting soon and it’ll be interesting who they’ll pick for new Ghosbusters.

I’m sure the new “Ghostbusters” will be a success and will be a box office smash. I think young women deserve this opportunity. Mr. Aykroyd is doing a good thing.

“Ghostbusters 3” will be an all female re-boot and will be directed by Paul Feig…

Due to the death of Harold Ramis, Ivan Reitman had to pull out of directing “Ghostbusters 3” out of respect for his friend. Now Sony have found a replacement director. Paul Feig will be directing the 3rd installment.

Dan Aykroyd will return as Dr. Ray Stantz but it’s looking like Bill Murray will not return. It is not yet known if Ernie Hudson will return as Winston Zeddemore.

As you will read in this article, the new Ghostbusters will be all female.

I actually dig the idea of all female Ghostbusters. What actresses will get the new roles???

I pick:

Michelle Rodriguez
Rhonda Rousey (UFC fame)
Jennifer Lawrence
Milla Jovovich

Sounds like a pretty good team to me!

The Expendables suing hard on film leak!!!

“The Expendables 3” has already leaked on the internet and Lionsgate studios are not taking any shit! Film leaks happen all the time in the movie industry but most studios don’t do anything about it with the exception of Lionsgate. Lionsgate take piracy very seriously. Their demands are pretty tough too.

Good for them. I’m glad they’re taking action and doing something about it. They seem to be very proud of the film.

http://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwmovies/article/Lionsgate-Sues-Leakers-of-THE-EXPENDABLES-3-20140802#.U90fR1X1GHc

I’m looking forward to Expendables 3. I’m a huge Expendables fan. Loved the first two films and will be seeing the third this month. Despite the PG-13 rating of the third film, I’m sure it will still be entertaining as hell.

I think this is the last Expendables movie that Sly will be starring in, though. I think he said he’ll be done with these movies but I’m sure the Expendables will keep going with more sequels just without Sly.

Love Sly or hate him, he’s amazing at what he does. He has created three big franchises in his career: Rocky, Rambo and the Expendables. You should respect him for that. I’m still a big fan of Sly and still look forward to every new movie he comes out with.
