Mark Hamill to voice Chucky in “Child’s Play” reboot… interesting… no April Fool’s joke, btw…

Leave a comment

Well this is interesting casting. You all know that there is a “Child’s Play” re-boot in the works. This will be a complete re-imagining of Chucky so it will be nothing like the original series with Brad Dourif voicing Chucky.

Speaking of Brad Dourif, what do you think? Do you think Mark Hamill can top Brad Dourif voicing Chucky? One thing I’m worried about is that Mark might make his Chucky voice sound a bit like the Joker which I’m hoping he won’t sound like that especially the laugh. No doubt, Chucky will probably do the “evil” laugh again in the re-boot film and Mark will have to do that. Only thing though I hope Chucky’s laugh won’t sound like the Joker’s, ya know what I mean? Actually, I don’t think there is anything to worry about, though ’cause Mark is a pro at voice characters. I’m sure Mark has what it takes to make different voices. Mark could make Chucky’s laugh more menacing and evil, I’m sure. I think Mark could pull the Chucky role off with no problem.

Even though Mark Hamill’s liberal politics suck ass, I still am a fan of his. I’ve always liked his Luke Skywalker role and hearing him voice the Joker is always enjoyable. Plus, I love listening to Mark when he does interviews and stuff ’cause the guy is a great speaker. He’s one of the best speakers and even though his politics suck, he is a pretty intelligent guy I would say.

I’m all for him voicing Chucky and I think he would knock it out of the park with no problem. Mark is gonna kill it, I think. Mark would do a good job trying to make Chucky sound scary and evil. Looking forward to it.

I may have been wrong that Luke could have possibly been Kylo Ren but it was a good guess though and it was close enough. Even though Luke didn’t turn to the dark side yet, there is still a possible chance that could happen in Episode 8 & 9. Remember, Mark Hamill said in the past he wanted to turn Luke to the Dark Side. He pitched that idea to George once but of course, George wouldn’t go for it. George wanted Luke to be the hero but could the new Star Wars movies turn Luke into a bad guy in the future, though?

http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Mark-Hamill-Actually-Pitched-An-Evil-Luke-Skywalker-Idea-J-J-Abrams-89617.html

I’m thinking the main plot idea for Episode 8 which will be directed by Rian Johnson, the story will be that Master Luke will train Rey (Daisy Ridley) to become a future Jedi knight. For now, they are looking at Master Luke to be the new Obi-Wan until something happens to Luke that made him turn to the Dark Side. I think something will happen to Luke in the new trilogy that will make him turn evil. Which will be an interesting idea if you think about it ’cause Mark Hamill is a phenomenal actor and he can always play a good badguy.

At the end of “The Force Awakens” when Rey walked up the steps and handed Luke the lightsaber, you immediately know what’s gonna happen in Episode 8. That’s my immediate thought that Luke is gonna train Rey to become a Jedi in the next one. I think that’s pretty obvious, I would say. That’s the idea of the new trilogy, the old cast passing the torch to a whole new cast.

Even though Han Solo maybe gone now, still though, not too worry fans. I still wouldn’t rule out a Han Solo appearance by Harrison Ford for the next two films. Could Han turn into a force ghost possibly? Some would mistakenly think that only Jedi’s are able to turn into a force ghost after their death but not really. If you do a little digging, there have been other Star Wars characters that have died who weren’t Jedi’s but later turned into a force ghost. That could happen to Han.

I was right about the Han Solo death ’cause that one didn’t surprise me at all ’cause I was predicting it for a long time now. The Han Solo death scene was a good scene, though.

Film Review: “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”

4 Comments

Starring: Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac

Directed by JJ Abrams

So I finally saw, “The Force Awakens” and here is my review!

Plot/synopsis: Three decades after the defeat of the Galactic Empire, a new threat arises. The First Order attempts to rule the galaxy and only a rag-tag group of heroes can stop them, along with the help of the Resistance.

A lot of people are calling this movie a remake or a homage to “Star Wars IV: A New Hope” (aka the first Star Wars movie) but I didn’t think it was. Sure both movies were kind of similar but most of “The Force Awakens” was pretty original from what I saw.

I always had faith in JJ that he’s gonna make a great Star Wars movie and he did just that. Everything about it was perfect. It felt like a Star Wars movie all the way. It’s something that George Lucas would have wanted for sure. JJ really knew what he was doing ’cause he himself is a Star Wars geek like the rest of us. Finally we have a great Star Wars movie and it was the best one of the whole series so far. All the action scenes were a blast to watch as expected. I was pretty much happy with everything in the movie. The writing was great. The musical score was great. Plus the acting of the cast was great too.

I loved the new cast. John Boyega is a pretty good actor. I loved Oscar Isaac’s role even though he wasn’t in it much. Oh man, I absolutely LOVE Daisy Ridley as I thought she was cute and gorgeous as hell! She’s one of the best female characters in Star Wars, in my opinion. I thought Domnhall Gleeson as General Hux was badass and so was Gwendoline Christie as Cpt. Phasma. I also loved Max Von Sydow’s role even though his appearance was kind of short. I thought Carrie Fisher did a brilliant job playing Leia again even though she hasn’t played that role in many years. She still kills it! It was great to see Carrie back on the big screen in a huge way!

I was happy with all of “The Force Awakens” except the only thing I wasn’t happy about is that we got very little of Luke. His role was like a few second cameo and he didn’t really say any lines but I’m sure we’ll get a LOT MORE Luke in Episode VIII. I think there’s a good chance that Luke will be the leading role in Episode VIII ’cause Luke’s appearance in “The Force Awakens” was just a re-introduction of the character, that’s all it was. We didn’t see Luke in action at all in this movie but definitely the next film we’ll see him swinging the lightsaber again.

What I was most impressed with the movie was the sound effects. The sound was pretty crazy. Especially when Kylo Ren takes out his lightsaber and the lightsaber sound is pretty loud in this movie. I expect “The Force Awakens” to win an Oscar for Best Sounds for sure.

As far as storylines go, I don’t wanna talk about so I don’t post any spoilers but as far Han Solo goes, that one didn’t surprise me ’cause I was predicting it a long while back. See? I toldjaso!

“The Force Awakens” was amazing. It’s definitely the best Star Wars movie so far but not so fast, folks! This is only the beginning of a new trilogy so there’s two more. Maybe VIII or IX will be better than VII. Who knows?

Score for “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”: 5 out of 5 as in “Excellent”

Happy “The Force Awakens” release day…

Leave a comment

Yes, so “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” is finally here!

Will I see it today or later tonight? Nah. I just bought tickets to see it this coming Sunday afternoon so I can try to avoid the large crowds. There’s probably gonna still be large crowds even on a Sunday but hopefully not. While I love going to the movies, I don’t like going into the theaters that is full of people. That’s why I mostly go to the movies during the day ’cause it’s not as packed and not as noisy. I like watching movies in the peace and quiet.

I’ll be seeing this film for the BTX screening and will be seeing it in 3D. BTX screening meaning that the movie screen is huge and bigger sound system too.

I’m looking forward to the movie, though. Can’t wait.

Princess Leia of “The Force Awakens” is my favorite character poster out of them all!

Leave a comment

If you seen the recent photos of Carrie Fisher lately, you can see that she is aging. Carrie Fisher looks nothing like the young Princess Leia from the original trilogy. I’ll have to say that the film makers did one helluva job making Carrie look like Princess Leia again which I’m pretty sure was a big challenge for them to do due to her aging and gaining a little weight over the years. I bet it took them hours to make her look like Princess Leia again. It probably took them a lot of makeup and hairstylist work for sure in order to get her look right. Carrie’s look changed over the years as she got older but she now looks like Leia again as she did in the original trilogy.

I’m sure Carrie still has the acting chops too and I’m sure she can still play the Leia role well. She hasn’t played the role in many many years so I’m sure she had to practice her lines a lot to get the character right again. Carrie doesn’t work in Hollywood that much. She was just a co-star and did cameos in many other movies over the years so I’m sure she’s not used to playing in huge roles like this. Leia maybe older in “The Force Awakens” but I’m sure she’ll still be the same Leia from the original trilogy.

Oh yeah, some people are still wondering why there’s no Luke in the new character posters. Well, I still believe Luke is none other than Kyle Ren ’cause there’s plenty of rumors that Luke went to the dark side. Even Mark said that he pitched the idea to George Lucas that Luke should go to the dark side a long time ago but it looks like George wouldn’t go for the idea and it’s looking like JJ Abrams took the idea himself. Yep, I believe Luke Skywalker is Kylo Ren. So when people claim that Luke is missing from the posters and trailers… he wasn’t missing at all ’cause he was Kylo Ren after all this time. I’m betting your money on it, folks.

Why are people so surprised of all the secrecy in JJ’s “SW: The Force Awakens”, I’m not surprise at all…

Leave a comment

I’m seeing  a lot of Star Wars fans how they are so impressed with all the secrecy in the Star Wars trailers on how they didn’t reveal much of anything. Why are you surprised? I’m not at all.

I’ve seen most of JJ’s work over the years including the TV show “LOST”. I’ve also seen all of JJ’s films that he’s directed and produced over the years. All the movies that he’s directed or produced, anything that JJ is involved, you can expect a lot of secrecy before the movie comes out. Why? He has always been a pretty secretive guy with all of his movies everything from “Super 8”, “MI: III”, the two Star Trek films, “Cloverfield”, etc.

He just never liked to reveal a lot before the movie comes out. He’s the same way with all of his TV shows too. This is how he has always been.

Which is great that he does this ’cause most film makers in Hollywood reveal a bit too much before the film comes out these days.

There are only very few directors these days who are secretive on his movies… those guys are JJ Abrams and Christopher Nolan. Chris Nolan is also full of secrecy with his movies as well. Steven Spielberg is another one.

Yeah, I too hate movie trailers that show the whole movie but JJ does a great job of not doing that. He’s the best at making movie trailers for sure, he always has been.

If you’re planning to see “The Force Awakens” on opening day or opening weekend, better order your tickets now ’cause all the theaters will probably be sold out quick. It’s gonna be a big movie and the theaters will be packed for sure so get ready for the long lines if you think you can handle it.

Will I see it opening weekend? I’m not sure yet. I think it’s better for me to see it sometime after Christmas and wait for the crowds to calm down. I don’t really enjoy going to the movie theater that is full of people. That’s why I prefer going during the day when there’s not a lot of people. I like watching movies when there’s not a lot of noise.

Now that you think about it Luke Skywalker maybe on the new “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” poster after all…

Leave a comment

StarWarsposter2

The new trailer for “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” just got put online right after it aired on “Monday Night Football” and yes I watched it on ESPN too.

The more I watch the trailers and see the poster, the more I think… did Luke join the dark side? Is Luke none other than Kylo Ren? I mean, think about it, right. You see Kylo Ren kneeling next to R2D2 and see a robotic hand touching R2 which gotta be Luke’s robotic hand so that’s a big clue that he maybe Kylo Ren the film’s main villain.

You see Princess Leia in the trailer. She still looks the same as she did in the original trilogy, she just looks older but Leia still looks gorgeous, though!

Oh man, what a great trailer. I can’t wait for the film. Bring it on!

It’s looking like that “The Force Awakens” plot will be about a missing Luke Skywalker after all…

Leave a comment

For a long time now there has been rumors that the plot for Star Wars 7 is gonna be about a missing Luke Skywalker. The plot is gonna be that Han Solo, Chewie and the two droids were sent out to find him. They were possibly sent out by none other than Princess Leia? Leia knows that Luke is missing and they want Han and them to go find him. It’s looking like that plot is coming to a reality ’cause Luke wasn’t seen in the first two trailers but his voice over was heard in the second trailer. Will we finally get to see Luke in the third trailer tomorrow night? Even though I hate NFL football, I’m gonna have to watch… just to see the new trailer. They’re probably gonna show Luke in the next trailer but very briefly.

Luke is gonna be looking like this:

That’s an actual leaked behind the scenes photo of Mark Hamill on set.

Luke is not gonna get killed off in the “Force Awakens” at all ’cause Mark is already filming scenes for “Episode 8” so he’s definitely coming back for 8 and possibly 9.

If there’s any major character that is gonna get killed off in the next one is probably gonna end up being Han Solo. Han sacrifices himself to save Luke’s life is probably what’s gonna happen.

Luke will probably have a very small role in “The Force Awakens” ’cause we won’t see him ’til the very end, that’s just my prediction. Sounds like Luke has been missing for years ever since the events of “Return of the Jedi”. Leia misses her brother and she begs Han to go find him. So Han gets Chewie and the droids, they reunite with the Millennium Falcon.

I am gonna watch Monday Night Football but just for the trailer alone and then I’ll probably switch the channel after ’cause I’m not a big football fan anymore.

I’m so looking forward to the “Force Awakens” like most. Get ready for a box office hit, y’all. This one should break box office records so get ready for the really long lines on opening day. I don’t think I’m gonna see it on opening day, though… I’m gonna wait a couple of days until the crowds calm down and then I’ll see it. This movie WILL pack up the theaters for sure.

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” official poster is finally out…

1 Comment

Great poster. While it is a great poster, there’s still no Luke Skywalker. How come Luke is not on the poster? Why all the secrecy toward Luke? I guess we’ll have to wait and find out for ourselves when we see the film in a few months. Hopefully, they show Luke in the new trailer tomorrow ’cause like it says here… a new trailer of “The Force Awakens” will get aired during “Monday Night Football”. I’m sure the new trailer will get put online after the game. Yes, you can see Carrie Fisher aka Princess Leia on the photo but no Luke.

Can’t wait for this film. I’m looking forward to it too.

Apparently, “Star Wars: Episode 8” is already filming and looks like Luke Skywalker will be involved…

Leave a comment

Looks like Rian Johnson has already started filming “Star Wars: Episode 8” and it looks like Luke Skywalker will be involved in Episode 7, 8 and 9 after all! AICN gave us a cool pic of Mark Hamill hanging out at a bar with crew mates during a break from filming and as you can see you see a clean shaven Mark Hamill. As you can see Mark’s hair is kind of long so Luke Skywalker can look kind of young. Look like Mark Hamill is gonna be involved throughout the new trilogy. They didn’t confirm whether or not Mark will be involved in 8 but looking at this pic in the link below, it looks like Mark is involved.

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/73103

The question is will Harrison Ford still be involved in 8 and 9? Probably not. I predict that “The Force Awakens” film will be the final time you will see Han Solo ’cause I’m still predicting that they’re gonna kill him off in that film. Han Solo sacrifices himself to save his friends is what they’re going for probably.

I so can’t wait for “The Force Awakens”, though. It’s only a couple of months away.
