A good day to Die Hard

Today the new trailer for DIE HARD 5 featured on YouTube ... its nice watching Willis in action but he is getting old ... watch the teaser here

Wolverine ...

The title says it all ... here is the first official pic of Jackman in character.

Another Uni Sol movie with Jean and Dolph???

Is it me going crazy or do both Jean Claude Van-Damme and Dolph Lundgren need to find a new line of work eh... I mean new roles for movies. I personally didn't like the last Universal Soldier -Regeneration but I sat through watching half the movie until I had enough and was forced to turn it off.

I mean why make a movie, use actors who are capable of more and give them roles just so you can sell a movie. I doubt I will watch this one unless Rotten Tomatoes gives this movie 75% and above.  from the looks of the poster it seems the movie is promising ... but I have been wrong before.

Well ... let's see what they have in store with : Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning.

Lincoln

The great 16th present of the United States has been been given a live action treatment by none other then the master director Spielberg. The teaser just hit online.

Gotta say ... Lewis makes one of a Lincoln and the perfect character actor to tackle such a role.

The Posession

Sam Raimi has done it again ...looking at the below pic just gives me the shivers. Wait till you see the trailer .....

The Amazing Spiderman new poster

A new poster for The Amazing Spiderman has managed to sneak into bus stops it makes us wonder when fans will be able to get their hands on one of them. Looks good, will the movie be better then its predecessor?

Its a bird ... its a plane .. oh wait its the JL script thrown out of the window

Warner Brothers have hired Will Beall to script their big Justice League project. Reportedly Will got hired when The Avengers was being made. The task of coming up with a script with characters like that would be tough. Then again I thought The Avengers will not be good when they first announced it. Will JL take the same route, introducing the characters first and the a big bang with JL? Or will this be shelved again? Only time will tell.

Hannibal lives again ...

NBC in an attempt to have a new show that can rake in a lot of views are trying to make a TV series out of the Lecter franchise. Its more like a prequel to Red Dragon. It will tell the tale of Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham working together to solve crime leading up the events of Red Dragon. The actor chosen to play Lecter is Mads Mikkelsen (Le Chiffre in CASINO ROYALE). I am not too keen on Mads as Lecter, but I sure as hell want to see how the story is told ...

Kate and Leo see the Blu's

Finally after so many years Titanic was converted to 3D and now its on its way to Blu Ray. September 12 it will crash again against the iceberg of movie collectors. The Blu Ray will contain 2 1/2 hours of new footage ad well as documentary. It will also feature 29 deleted scenes and SN alternate ending (hope Jack is still dead in that) and 60 behind the scene features ... yup maybe the painting scene as well.

Any one of you waiting for this?

Iron Man III - news

Since the first and the second Iron Man movies hit us right in the face with a really good storyline, good actors and really good special effects, its now time for the build up of the third part. Word is out that Mandarin (definitely not the fruit) might be the villain in the up coming sequel with a set of twins doing all his dirty work.

And set pictures realised today show another character in armor which is Iron Patriot. Two heroes or too many villians? We will find out later.

Bond .. James Bond

Finally we get a glimpse of what skyfall is ... Daniel Craig as bond.

Check it out here.

The Great Gatsby - Trailer

The new trailer for The Great Gatsby has been released. I have not read the novel but looking at the trailer it seems the story is pretty interesting with the assembled cast. With the likes of Leonardo Dicaprio, Tobey Maguire and many other actors, an Indian cinema icon makes an appearance as well, Amitabh Bachchan. From the looks of the trailer it seems the story is pretty intense ... lets hope the trailer lives up to the movies expectations.

Watch the trailer here. 

Expendables ... 2

Now this was expected with a movie in this day and age. If its hit .. try squeezing it dry until there isn't any more stories to tell in the sequels or the the actors are too old to act. Same things is happening with Expendables with a sequel that was announced and now its all over the internet for everyone. i knw some old actors still have it in them ... but a few should throw the towel and let it go as their time has finished. Check out the trailer below.

The Avengers

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE ... I would have loved to hear those words. This season The Avengers has been the winner at the ticket booth it seems. Given the current track record and reviews this movie will not move from it current standing maybe for a month. The movie on its own was a blast. It must have been a really hard task for Josh Whedon to bring together so many actors and giving them justifiable screen time while at the same time dealing with so many personalities.

The direction of the movie was superb. At first I wasn't keen on watching this in  3D, but the inner child in me got the better of things and I was sitting in the cinema with flat 3D glasses sitting in my face. The audience are glued to the screen from the very start of the movie. Never did I feel that the action was too fast for 3D. Like a kid I cheered through all the battle scenes. The best was between The Hulk and Thor. Even though it lasted only a few minutes, I feel the fight should have been a little longer.

The Avengers had its share of fun times as well that was put in places so we can get a few laughs or giggles. Two things ... rather characters I felt didn't quite fit into the movie, Hawk eye and Black widow. The character for hawk eye was played very well by Renner but the character didn't fit into the team itself. No suit, archaic weaponry bad arse attitude and a love interest. Black widow was the same as well. She was sent into bring in Banner and gets a slap from hulk half way through the movie.

Captain America played by Evans had a perfectly buildup from his solo movie setting the grounds for The Avengers. The only thing I don't get is why do you change the suit and the helmet ... to make it right in the squeal maybe? Yes its in production according to Disney. Iron Man played by Downey was the same, rich brat who doesn't like rules. Again the suit changed the arc reactor. Not fussy on the but we can live with it right?

The Hulk played by Mark was perfect. What I liked about this portrayal of Hulk was that they made Banner more reserved ...  and when he changes ... more angry. Also finally it seems that the CGI has caught up with the green beast. Mark made a really good Hulk. Thor played by Helmsworth was superb bringing the same God like attitude.  Nick Fury played by Jackson was a little risky given the timeline, but its comic world right? Jackson made a really good Fury (given the gay looking DH in older Fury movie).

All in all the movie was what The Avengers fan was waiting for. A four year wait ... numerous castings ... few shelving of the movie but in the end is that Josh Whedon pulled it off. I would give this movie a 9.5 out of 10. Now let's wait for sequel and see if the purple looking villain from the ending shows up or not.
