I heard about this. Might be cool.

What???  Oh jesus what a terrible idea. Super-man will officially suck. For some reason they just can't get away from the Richard Donner Super-man movies.  They were great and I do love them, but when you're trying to re-invent a franchise you have to forget about the older movies.  Bryan Singer clearly went so far as to basically make Brandon Routh be Christopher Reeve instead of Super-man. And now Zack Snyder is doing it by bringing back Zod. He's a great bad guy but there are a lot more who have been much more prominantly featured in the comics over the years. To me all this says is, "it worked once before, so we're doing it again."  And that kind of attitude pretty much dooms you.

RED EAGLE Review

For fans of the 60s Mitr Chaibancha version of the film, Red Eagle will almost definitely be a must-watch to see how one of the most inventive filmmakers in Thailand today works in a treatment to reboot the film franchise. Wisit Sasanatieng followers will be in for a surprise at how he tackles a commercial action film based on a masked crusader, which seems to be in complete departure from his earlier works.

Fantastic Fest 2010: Legend of the Fist review

This is glossy, slick looking, hyper realistic super hero fantasy, with hot women, Donnie Yen's firm butt and fast and furious action that some people have called racist because of the depiction of the Japanese in the film. In every telling of this story they have been portrayed as heartless bastards with no redeeming values what so ever and it isn't very different in this one as well.

The film is pretty entertaining if you are looking for a slick but simple action movie with terrific action sequences. Donnie Yen shows again that he is the man when dropping bodies. It's hard to imagine that the dude is pushing fifty and is still one of the fastest guys around. The predictable over the top melodrama is in place as well and it's all fine and dandy, something you'd come to expect in a film like this.

Legend of the Fist: Return of Chen Zhen BHollywood review

Part superhero movie and part flag-waving war film, “Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen” marks another successful outing for Donnie Yen as an International action star. “Return” is a fine addition to his growing catalog, and fans of martial arts and asskicking filmmaking would be wise to pick it up.

The Hobbit Will Finally Shoot in February 2011

The first three “Lord of the Rings” films are legendary, but they might be nothing compared to the behind-the-scenes turmoil that has gone on with the upcoming two “Hobbit” movies. After years of problems (and still more problems left to be resolved), Peter Jackson’s two “Hobbit” movies have now been given the official greenlight, with production set for as early as February of next year.


Jackson will once again direct both films with a combined budget of $400 million, with $30 million of that already sank into pre-production on the film’s New Zealand sets. Of course, whether the films will actually shoot in New Zealand remains to be seen given the labor issues the production is currently still mired in.


Of the cast, only Sir Ian McKellan is officially back as Gandalf, with Martin Freeman rumored to be the frontrunner for the lead, the hobbit Bilbo Baggins. With the greenlight given, expect the first part of “The Hobbit” to land in theaters by December 19, 2012, followed by part two in the following year.


That is, unless something else comes up to sabotage the production. You know, like maybe meteorites from outer space, or mole men from the Earth’s core. Hey, this is the “Hobbit”, it could happen.

The Trailer for Ryoo Seung-wan’s The Unjust is Pretty Awesome. Seriously.

I’m a huge fan of “Crying Fist”, “Arahan”, and “City of Violence”, so it would seem only natural that I’m thoroughly interested in checking out talented director Ryoo Seung-wan’s “The Unjust” as soon as humanly possible. The film may seem like yet another South Korean thriller chronicling the complicated relationships between mobsters, cops, and attorneys, but once you put your eyeballs all over the embedded trailer, there’s a very strong possibility that you’ll think otherwise. I offer up no guarantees, mind you, and there’s no accounting for taste, but chances are you’ll like it. Maybe.


Here’s the synopsis, courtesy of 24 Frames per Second:

A serial killer targeting elementary school students is on the loose—and 5 victims means even the president gets involved in the investigation. When the most probable suspect dies in custody and the case looks like it’s reached a dead end, high ranking police brass decide to create a killer—and anyone will do. Though Detective Choi Cheol-gi boasts an incredible number of arrests over his career his rank never showed it. He was framed and demoted for another crime and decides that this is his last chance at professional redemption. He makes a deal with mob boss Jang Seok-gu, who he has been investigating, and together they decide to set up one of the existing suspects as the serial killer. The only hurdle in their plan is public prosecutor Ju Yang, who takes on the case. Ju himself had been involved in a deal with the boss of a rival criminal organization, and President Kim wants Choi dismissed from his position. When the secret deals and back alley agreements start to come to light, it only serves to drag Choi, Ju, Jang, and Kim deeper and deeper into a dark hole of questionable ethics and abuse of the law.


Now that you know what’s going on, feel free to check out the clip.

The Hobbit news is so awesome. Jackson was the only guy who could do justice to The Hobbit. I can see the first part before the world ends, yay!

Silence Foolz!

So, having Del Torro leave was one of the best things that could have happened, the guy who made the epic LOTR is now making the both Hobbit films. Me happy.
