Speed Racer was awesome. It was a cheesy two hour acid trip without needing any actual drugs. And it had a fucking trunk monkey.
Yeah, sorry, but put be down in the entertained by Speed Racer camp as well. It was an almost perfect homage to the cartoon in its overall ridiculousness.
Armie Hammer (he played the Winklevoss twins in The Social Network)as The Lone Ranger and Johnny Depp as Tonto. I'm very glad they decided NOT to make Tonto look like he's wearing a 1970's native halloween costume and went for a new look.
They seems kinda "small stature" to be playing TLR and Tonto. Unless they face off against the Terror of Tinytown. But I agree about the costumes. The buckskin Jack LaLane bodysuits are as painful to look at as a plaid polyester leisure suit. Oh, and Raid:Redemption gets released on DVD Tuesday in the US and I'm anxious to finally get to see it.
Hammer is somewhere around 6'5". He's not small. Could be good, could suck. Haven't seen a single clip yet so we'll see. I know the local tribal chief made Depp an honourary member. He wears authentic garb throughout the film from what I heard (he insisted before taking the part) to avoid looking like a sterotyped cliche.
Looks like some decent mindless action. Big points deducted for caving to pressure and switching the Chinese for North Koreans. I mean even for unbelievable action movies the thought of that broke ass nation mounting an invasion is a stretch.
Well the move has been shelved for awhile, it was supposed to come out in early 2011. Forgot exactly what happened, but you won't being seeing anything recent in the movie. Also, when a Chinese company buys the company that made the movie...changes get made. That's what I heard on an Ace podcast, don't quote me on it.
This is one of the best trailers I have ever seen. I cannot fucking WAIT for this, it looks beyond awesome.
<a class="postlink" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1731141/fullcredits#cast" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1731141/fullcredits#cast</a> Ender's Game is coming, with Harrison Ford and Ben Kingsley.
It is official: they are shooting the sequel to 300. 300: Battle of Artemisa will come out in 2013. They wanted to bring Gerard Butler back from the dead to put in the story, and he thought it was a dumb idea. He's right. The movie didn't need a sequel. Pure cash grab and nothing more. At least Eva Green will be in it:
At least? I would of gone to go see it, but thanks for letting me know. Now i will not even give it a glance.
Rambo vs. Drogo. Could be good, but Walter Hill is as dubious as a director gets. While we're at it... ...directed by the genius who made I Saw The Devil, one of the fucking insane movies I have ever seen. However, Johnny Knoxville looks like he might just ruin this movie.

I never saw Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter but at least I got the off the wall feeling they were going for in the trailer. This Hansel and Gretel looks like absolute Hollywood bullshit. Anyone else having Jeremy Renner fatigue? He is in every fucking single movie. I generally like him and he's a decent actor but he can't carry four major films a year, Jesus. This could be interesting. The two HBO specials were creepy enough with the real guy. Got a pretty decent cast including the guy from Boardwalk Empire. Trailer doesn't seem to do the material justice but the movie could be awesome.
This looks like the Wachowski's (The siblings behind the Matrix) masterpiece. I'm seriously interested, because I think this movie will be somewhere between Inception and The Fountain.
Damn, What's with youtube tags, something's gone wrong for a few posts now... Anyway: This New Yorker piece sets it up real nice (though the writing is a tad pretentious). It even delves into a little bit of Lana's much gossiped about personal life. But I have to admit, Cobalt Neural 9 sounds awful, politics aside.
I am on the fence about this. Ender's Game is my favorite book in the entire world but movie producers invariably fuck it up. The style of writing + your imagination creates a much deeper and more vibrant story than a movie could ever be. On the other hand, Harrison Ford is fucking badass.
