In an effort to further WOW us with how amazing this film is going to be, Warner Bros. has released 4 brand new Hi-Res banners for Christopher Nolan’s Inception on Virgin Media.
The MTV Movie Awards happened on Sunday and besides annoying teeny jokes and useless banter about outdated celebrities, Warner Bros. debuted a BRAND NEW trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
So the story goes like this: Mike Sampson over at JoBlo was given and shown details of what Captain America’s costume is going to look like on film. He wasn’t allowed to show any images of it but he was allowed to describe in detail what he saw. (if you are interested in the full report, click the link above) Rather than copying his description and subjecting you to about 1,000 words, we have the images right here! (thanks to AICN)
Whatever you’re planning on doing this summer as far as movies go, make sure at least TWO things happen: 1) You make the time and the effort to see Christopher Nolan’s “Inception“, and 2) you do whatever it takes to see Edgar Wright’s “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.”
Coming off the success (or failure?) of Kick-Ass, an edgy comic-book-adaptation with a rabid fan base, Matthew Vaughn has landed the role of director of the next X-Men film, X-Men: First Class. With production kicking into gear this summer we’re bound to start hearing about a lot of casting announcements, and to get things started, it seems that we have our Professor Xavier.
I have a list. A list of books I need to read, movies I need to see, video games I need to play, and time machines I need to invent in order to actually squeeze all of that into a single lifetime. The Prince of Persia trilogy beginning with The Sands of Time is up near the top of the video games list. From the moment I heard about the game moving onto the Silver Screen, I had mixed feelings. Video games don’t usually adapt as well as books, which in turn adapt notoriously poorly. The point of a game is to create an experience that involves the user through controls and story telling; something that is very difficult to capture on film. I confess up front that I have no real foundation for comparing this film to the game(s), but I did see it with a group of friends who adored the Prince of Persia series, and they assure me that the movie borrows efficiently from the game while also carrying a unique plot line.
Breaking News: With all of the financial woes MGM is going through and the constant battle with the rights to The Hobbit constantly delaying the film’s release, honestly, I never thought I would see it come to this.
Whether or not you agree with Chris and think it’s a Bad Bad Film, or you agree with johnny thunder in that it’s an action masterpiece by the brilliant writer/director Sly Stallone, it’s irrelevant at this point because let’s face it, we are men and we like explosions and we like action! The Expendables is going to be an explosive action-fest of pure carnage starring all of our favorite action heroes from the last 2 decades of film.
When a film comes out that is called Robin Hood, there are certain images and themes that come to mind: bow & arrows, Maid Marion, robbing the rich and giving to the poor, Sherwood Forest, Sheriff of Nottingham, “Little” John, and multiple actors portraying the titular star. What happens when a Robin Hood film comes along that throws all of that aside and tells and origin story, void of any substance that we’ve come to know and love?
I am honestly afraid to write this review. This is sacred ground, er, film, we’re talking about. How could anyone but Dan the Man write this review? Opinions about the new installment in the Iron Man franchise are as common and prevalent as PB and J sandwiches in an elementary school lunchroom. That’s a daunting thought for me at first. And then I realize that nobody in elementary school cared about my PB and J sandwich. They were all busy eating their own. I suspect this review will be the same way. I will, in fact, be surprised if anyone even reads it. Iron Man 2 is one of those movies that everyone is going to go see regardless of what anyone else says. I think that’s a good thing.
