How crazy is it that a sequel has already been green-lit for a movie that hasn’t been released yet? Paramount sure must love what they have in J.J. Abrams’ “Star Trek”. Judging from the trailers, it looks like it will be a wild ride.
Cinematically Correct note: Stay tuned for my Eric Bana essay later today.
As a movie geek, I realize how uncool it is to knock Sam Raimi. It’s just…well…I’m not a big fan of the “Spider Man” movies. It’s possible that I despised the third installment so much that it ruined the first two films for me.
There is no doubt that Raimi has directed some great films. “A Simple Plan” and “The Gift” are very underrated movies and what can be said that hasn’t already about the “Evil Dead” movies? Not much. However…this trailer for his next movie, “Drag Me To Hell”, is pretty weak. Alison Lohman? Justin Long? It’s bad news when David Paymer is the most accomplished actor in your movie…or is it? Paymer rules.
Warning: Google Images + Work + Alyssa Milano = Deadly Mix
It can’t be stressed that one should second guess typing “Alyssa Milano” into Google Images while at work or at your public library. Yowza.
If you are male and a baseball fan, you are probably aware of the fact that Alyssa Milano loves her some hardball. She loves it so much that she has dated numerous spare major league players, such as Barry Zito, Carl Pavano, Brad Penny, and Russell Martin. She obviously has a thing for has-been, flame-out pitchers. To make it worse, are these guys some of the best looking players out there? I don’t think so. What I’m saying is that Alyssa Milano is settling for spares when she should be only shooting for All Stars. However, just like every female alive, she needs to stay the hell away from A-Rod.
“This was right after he won the World Series. So he was kind of baseball royalty. It was before he came to the Yankees…and became the Carl Pavano you know.”
Yeah…I could have just not posted this “trailer” for the “Ghostbusters” game. It wouldn’t have made me feel as dorky as I do right now. However, I have to promote any and everything Bill Murray does.
Okay, this is the first poster from Martin Scorsese and Leo DiCaprio’s next flick, “Shutter Island”. Judging from this poster, this movie is sure to scare everyone out of their pants. Not only that, it’s got an amazing cast featuring Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley, Michelle Williams, Emily Mortimer, Max Von Sydow, Patricia Clarkson, Ted Levine (Buffalo Bill!), and the greatness of Jackie Earle Haley.
There is no doubt Scorsese is going to freak us all out here. This is an adaptation of a Dennis Lehane novel, who wrote such laughfests as “Mystic River” and “Gone Baby Gone”. This story focuses on a US Marshall (DiCaprio) who is sent to find an escaped mental patient (Emily Mortimer…that’s right…a crazy chick!) that is responsible for several gruesome murders.
If you can make it through thirty seconds of this guy covering Neutral Milk Hotel’s “In The Aeroplance Over The Sea”, you are a braver person than I. Not only does the guy not know the lyrics, he doesn’t know how to play the song.
There is one great thing about this cover though: I could record myself covering this tune and it would be better than this guy. This means I am not the worst guitar player going.
Being a fan of the Harry Potter books, it’s pretty exciting to know what we are in store for in the upcoming films. The movies keep going darker and darker and this next one, “Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince”, will be darkest yet.
As you can see from this new poster, Harry is mad as hell and he’s not going to take it anymore. So…he’ll whip out his wand and stare you down Holmes. Take that Voldemort…you naughty son of a bitch.
Here are a few other posters from “The Half-Blood Prince” of Dumbledore, Snape, Gandalf, Hermione, Ron, and that chick from “Twilight”.
There are many bloggers/dorks like me that are fighting the War of The Lohan. We want nothing more than The Lohan to stop making movies. Personally, I don’t want The Lohan to be unhappy or miserable…it’s just that I want her to go away. You know, like all the best teen movie stars have done.
There have been numerous victories prior to this one (the failure of “Georgia Rule” and “I Know Who Killed Me”, posing nude for the New Yorker, getting axed from “Ugly Betty”), but this latest one has to have The Lohan on the ropes. Her latest movie titled “Labor Pains”, in which she fakes a pregnancy (always a laugh riot), is going straight to cable. I don’t mean HBO or Showtime either…I am talking straight to ABC Family. This is a huge blow (no jokes please) to The Lohan’s film career and it really could signify the end. At this point, there is no chance she is offered starring roles in major movies. Hell, could she even land a TV gig? That takes more responsibility than filming a movie.
The real reason this could be a legit end of the road deal for her? MTV is reporting it. If The Lohan loses the attention of the brain-dead, ADD loving MTV viewer, we are talking epic fail here.
Once I got back to work from my sick day yesterday, Tall Ghost Walt appeared and told me “that I have work to do”. He was right. Of course, three of our server’s crashed last night so I can’t get onto my Computer Machine Device to do any real work. Thank God…because I would much rather write about Sayid, Sawyer, Juliet, and Larry from “Newhart”.
