Report: The gorgeous Alice Eve to be a love interest for Cpt. Kirk?

Leave a comment

Now that the release date for JJ Abrams Star Trek sequel has been confirmed, they are getting right to work on the casting. First, they are in talks with Benicio Del Toro to star as the main villain, but he hasn’t signed on yet. Actress, Alice Eve is the top choice to play a major female lead, possibly to be Captain Kirk’s love interest?

Read more on the story, here.

Keep in mind, that Cpt. Kirk was a big womanizer. So he could get more than one love interest for the next film, lol. I don’t know much about Alice Eve, but she’s a pretty hot lady. Not bad at all.

Film Review: “Transformers: Dark of the Moon”

Leave a comment

Starring: Shia Labeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whitelay, John Turturro, John Malkovich, and Tyrese Gibson.

Directed by: Michael Bay

Today on this extremely hot day, I decided to go to the mall to check out, “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” in 3D. I wasn’t going to see this one in theater, I was going to wait for DVD, but since this movie is getting great reviews, I decided to check it out anyway. I’m a huge Transformers fan. Loved the action figures and the cartoon series. It’s just that I felt that Michael Bay ruined the Transformers legacy by making crap movies. The first two Transformers movies weren’t that good at all, I didn’t like them.

On with my review…

Plot/synopsis: In 1961, The Ark, a Cybertronian spacecraft has been found on the Earth’s moon by Autobots. President John F. Kennedy orders NASA to go to the moon to investigate this spacecraft. In present time, Optimus Prime finds a comatose Sentinel Prime (voiced by Star Trek’s, Leonard Nimoy), and Optimus Prime goes back to Earth to help revive him. Optimus Prime tries to talk Sentinel in rejoining the Autobots but Sentinel refuses and betrays the Autobots, joining the Decepticons of the Cybertronian race. The Cybertronian race is where the Autobots vs. the Decepticons race to the moon to see who gets to discover the secrets of the Ark first.

Enough with the plot. On with my thoughts…

Since I didn’t like the first two “Transformers” films, I’ll have to be honest that I was very impressed with “Dark Of the Moon”. This is definitely a winner for Michael Bay. I guess he re-watched the first two films and thought to himself, “Geez, I better make the next Transformers movie a good one”. Well, he did exactly that. I absolutely loved, “Dark of the Moon”. It’s a major improvement from the first two movies, so congrats to Michael Bay on a job well done.

Why was it so good? Well, it’s less family friendly. The film was very dark and violent all the way through. The reason the first two “Transformers” films didn’t work because they were too family friendly comedy, that’s NOT Transformers. Plus, the second movie was just so bad and the material was so offensive and racist.

In “Dark of the Moon”, while I don’t like Shia Labeouf as an actor, he was actually enjoyable in this movie, plus he didn’t hog too much screen time like he did in the first two films. Other things I liked about the film, I loved Leonard Nimoy voicing the villain of Sentinel Prime, Leonard did a great job. I also thought the CGI and special effects were very visual and realistic. It wasn’t as cartoonish.

Plus, the whole movie is just a lot of fun overall. It was action packed, all the way through. The plot and the writing was decent as well. The plot for the third movie actually stayed true to the Transformers franchise. I also love how the movie is 2 and a half hours long. Michael Bay finally did his homework and made a Transformers movie the right way, the way it’s supposed to be.

I really loved it! Good job, Michael!

Score for “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” = **** (4 stars as in “excellent”)

Cool Video: “Mission Impossible IV: Ghost Protocol” trailer is online!!!

Leave a comment

Finally, the “Mission Impossible IV: Ghost Protocol” trailer is here! I watch the trailer and I’m actually very impressed with it. I liked the first Mission Impossible film but I didn’t like the 2nd and 3rd one. This one actually looks very promising. I hope this is a good movie but it’s pretty common that trailers try to make bad movies look good. I’ll go see this one, so I hope it doesn’t suck. From the looks of the trailer, it looks like an action packed ride.

I’ll have to re-watch the first three, “Mission Impossible” movies before this one comes out though. I hope the 4th one don’t disappoint.

Report: Robert Zemeckis to direct a live action movie that will star Denzel Washington…

Leave a comment

Robert Zemeckis hasn’t done a live action flick in a long time, right? His last few movies have been nothing but animated films. Zemeckis has finally decided to make a movie titled, “Flight”, that will star Denzel Washington. Denzel will play a commercial airline pilot in which the plane malfunctions and saves the day with his heroic flying.

Deadline, reports.

This movie definitely sounds like it was inspired from the Captain Sully story. I’m glad Zemeckis is finally back to live action ’cause I love his live action flicks.

Cool Photo: Indiana Jones’s fridge scene from “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”…

Leave a comment

In Indiana Jones, “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”, you remember that controversial fridge scene? Where Indy hides in this fridge during the Nuclear bomb explosion to protect himself? Well, here they are filming that scene. That’s really Harrison Ford in that fridge. It’s no stunt double, that’s really Harrison. The pic is proof of it.

Damn, while that scene is kind of goofy and silly, you gotta give respect for Harrison for braving that scene. I couldn’t even get in a fridge like that, it would be too painful and tiring. Gotta give the kudos for Harrison for dealing with that. I wonder how long Harrison stayed in that fridge in the pitch black dark like that?

BREAKING NEWS: Leonard Nimoy will voice Sentinel Prime for “Transformers: Dark of the Moon”…

Leave a comment

Well, so much for retirement. Leonard Nimoy is going back to work again. Leonard haven’t done any work in the entertainment business since his last appearance on the TV show, “Fringe”, which he did last year. Then he announced retirement.

His retirement didn’t last too long because he is ready to come out of it. Yes, already. Leonard is set to do voice work for Sentinel Prime, for “Transformers: Dark of the Moon”. Paramount and Michael Bay already filmed the movie, the voice for Sentinel Prime is the last thing that needed to be done.

It really does seem that Leonard is out of retirement this soon, because Michael Bay said in this article, that Leonard is “Glad to be back“.

Well Mr. Spock, what made you decide to change your mind about retirement this soon? I bet Will Shatner talked him out of retirement. Leonard doesn’t need to do this for money because he’s already loaded with money from his past work in his career. I think he came back because he missed the work and missed his fans.

I’m glad that he came back to acting. Maybe he’s doing voice over work from this point on?

Report: Sometimes dead is better…yet another Stephen King movie on the way to the big screen, “Pet Sematary” re-boot greenlighted…

Leave a comment

First, “The Dark Tower” with Ron Howard, next here comes, “The Stand”, and now here comes the “Pet Sematary” re-boot!!! There is quite a lot of Stephen King movies on the way to the big screen! The “Pet Sematary” re-boot will be written by “1408” writer, Matthew Greenberg.

The story revolves around the Creed family moving to a new home. When just settling in their new home, their son is killed. An old cemetery was found, it was said that when you bury the dead in that cemetery, they come back to life. Louis Creed, the main character, takes his dead son to the cemetery to bring him back to life. When his son did come back to life, he ended up being evil. The original film starred, Dale Midkiff, Fred Gwyne and Denise Crosby.

Read more on the story, here.

Hmmmm, sounds like a perfect project for Rob Zombie! Imagine what Rob Zombie could do to it? He could make a gruesome and disturbing version.

So you ask, what’s with all the Stephen King movies being greenlighted lately? Well for one, he’s the most famous author in the world. He’s an icon. Hollywood wants to do films on everyone one of his books as they possibly can. Plus, Stephen writes his books as if they were a movie. I’m also sure that Stephen had a hand in getting these movies greenlighted. He would want Hollywood to do movies on all of his books. Stephen wrote screenplays for most of his own movies as well.

I’m such a huge Stephen King fan. I’m obsessed with his writing. I’ve been reading his books ever since I was a kid in high school. Collected all of them. I still buy his new books every time he comes out with a new one. I just got his new short story collection, “Full Dark, No Stars” which I will read soon. I’m reading the Harry Potter series right now. Stephen King is my favorite author, die hard fan.

Cool Photo: Spock on the set of “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home”!!!

Leave a comment

With me being a huge Star Trek fan, I just had to post this one for myself. Here is Leonard Nimoy still dressed up as Spock, behind the scenes of “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home” which Leonard directed himself. Remember, the Starfleet team goes back to our current time to visit San Francisco. The mission is, they had to go back in time to save two humpback whales and actually communicate with them. They had to do it to save Earth from a destructive space probe.

Seriously, as some of you may or may not know, I’m a huge Star Trek fan. I’m a die hard Trekkie. I love anything Star Trek and the “Voyage Home” was one of my favorite Star Trek films.

Enjoy this shot of Leonard directing the camera crew behind the scenes, in San Francisco.

Daredevil Tom Cruise performs stunt on the tallest building ever!

Leave a comment

I know there are a lot of Tom Cruise haters out there, but maybe these pics will help give the man the respect that he deserves. He certainly got mine after seeing these pics. Daredevils would do crazy and dangerous things in big cities over the years. Well, Tom Cruise has become a bit of a daredevil himself. Tom hangs around on the tallest building in the world, the famous Burj Khalifa, in Dubai. You know how high that fucking building is? It is extremely high. You can also see Tom running across the building windows.

Tom is seen here, hanging off that building, using one cable and not using much to help him stay up there. Isn’t that crazy? Check out these pics here, and here.

Well, you can definitely tell that Tom is NOT afraid of heights for sure. Like the dude or not, you gotta give him credit for having some balls and bravery for doing a crazy and risky stunt like this. If any of those cables snapped, he definitely would have been a goner.
