Film is Pwn

First one, Director Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood, starring Russell Crowe.  Looks like Gladiator in Sherwood Forest.  My interest: Pretty tepid.

Starring: Denzel Washington, Eva Mendes, Sanaa Lathan, Dean Cain
Directed By: Carl Franklin

Most movies take place in three acts which blend seamlessly to create the narrative story arc.  Out of Time is no different, except that the difference between the first act and the second act is staggering. (more…)

A movie I kinda liked, Terminator: Salvation.  See the sample here.

Was the guy from Dodgeball snubbed by the Academy for his stellar performance?  James Cameron says so . .

And the nominees are . . . (more…)

The Razzies are the award that honors the worst of the worst, Worst Film of the Year, Worst Actor, Actress, etc.  From perusing the films, it appears the primary targets of Razzie Venom happen to be popcorn flicks like Transformers 2, G.I. Joe, and Old Dogs.   Check out the nominations here.

And Kubrick’s classic 1980 movie The Shining is his hidden confession?  I love conspiracy theories, not because they are true but because they are generally interesting and entertaining.  The author has put a great deal of thought into his Kubrick/Moon Landing Haux/Shining Confession, which is what makes it a great read.

On the heels of my post detailing Sly Stallone’s beating at the hands of Stone Cold Steve Austin, comes this wonderful article chronicling the attempts by a 49 year old Van Dam to get a real honest to goodness fight with 3 time Olympian Somluck Kamsing.  Really?  Does he really think this is a good idea?  This is a guy who looses fights with hotel rooms.  Well, the fight would have to take place abroad as it would never be sanctioned in the US.  He is 49 years old for Pete’s sake!

I realize that I am one of the few humans capable of feeling disappointment when a film turns out not to be terrible.  In this regard, Whiteout has disappointed me terribly.

Just out on DVD, Whiteout was a relatively big-budget thriller starring Kate Beckinsale.  It appeared in theaters for approximately 17 minutes, barely long enough for it to be panned by critics and irritate the two guys who wanted to see.  One of those men was me, the other happened to be the mother of the film’s director.

My only comment: Awwwww, yea!

You know that new movie Legion about Angels vs. Demons & Ice Cream Truck Drivers? Here’s how I imagine the pitch to make the movie went: (more…)
