2010 Films

The Prince of Persia video game franchise is one of the best around. The series defines adventure, and its easily one of the most fun games ever made. If the sheer amount of "fun" gets transferred to the big screen well, it could easily be the best adventure film of recent memory.
Hopefully they don't try to take themselves too seriously... and hopefully there's a wall run.

Yeah... werewolves are really cool and never done right in film.
But then again, what is the right way?
Anyway, I think this has a good shot at being the one great werewolf flick, with the cast and all, but after that trailer... ugh... that made it out to look boring as hell.
But the poster, yeah, that's pretty fantastic.

By the way, I'm surprised no one else has mentioned anything about Hopkins being in both this and Ford's Dracula. I find that interesting for some reason.

The book is... well, its alright. Nothing too fascinating, but it was unique (in a sense).
I don't really see chemistry in the cast, and with Peter Jackson that means we get to look forward to 3 fucking hours of this boring tale.

Seriously, King Kong would have been awesome if it wasn't 4 days long.

Alright so I get that certain settings mimic others because that's just the genre. This movie is taking place in a post apocalyptic wasteland and even though there's so many "end of the world" type flicks out there like this, I can honestly say that this one looks exactly like Fallout, the video game series. Say what you will that they all look the same, but The Road Warrior looks different than 9, and those both look different from 12 Monkeys, and all those look different from Terminator, and so on.
My point is, is that even though the setting is similar, my God... the clothing, the landscapes, the atmosphere is so much like Fallout its uncanny.
Of course Fallout is one of my favorite series of all time, so I won't bitch.

Anyway, interesting concept and what's that!? Denzel Washington playing a different role!? Ok so its not THAT different, but its still a different stride away from the usual stuff he does.
Looks to be interesting. I'll check it out.

True Blood is the Rebellion. The tiny, glimmering hope of salvation against the evil Empire that is Twilight.
Former leaders have died, and for those of us that remember them, we weep: 30 Days of Night, Interview with the Vampire, Dracula, Shadow of the Vampire, oh how we weep. They're not new enough to combat the startling popularity that is Twilight, and if that continues, slowly but surely, classic vampires and the fact they're supposed to be evil/monstrous will fade into the darkness. RIP cool vampires. How I love thee.
But then... there's Daybreakers. A glimmering hope, our Luke Skywalker. A small chance, a single chance, something out of nowhere, that might be able to keep the dream alive. Here's hoping!


Yes. I'm aware at how lame that was.

There's a movie coming out this year entitled "Creation", which basically revolves around the story of Charles Darwin. Upon reading the cast for that film, I was a little surprised that Paul Bettany landed the lead role as Darwin. I really think he's like Karl Urban: fine as a supporting actor but severly lacking the individuality to be a lead.
Then I saw the preview for this.
What the hell is this?
Even if you're an atheist, this movie should offend you. Honestly, if you're a Christian who cares? Its escapist entertainment. Let's stop talking about that people and let's focus on the fact that this is a movie about an angel... that uses guns.
Ok seriously. That's the threat? The something that destroys humanity can be killed by guns? What's the point then? Shouldn't Michael be capable of busting out some hyper powerful flaming sword thingy and show off "yeah that's right, I'm a bad ass Angel/Warrior thing" but no... he dual wields M4s. Fuck that.

Anyway, it looks cliched and stupid and the action looks pitifully lackluster and again, Paul Bettany as a lead (what's worse, is that this isn't his only supernatural/action lead, he also plays the Priest in the upcoming film "Priest" which is about a priest (loving that word right now aren't ya?) that hunts vampires... wtf Paul Bettany? What... the... fuck?) but with all that shit aside I just can't help being curious... and that worries me so.
