I wish someone would remake The Crow.

 

they have been trying for years, go to Screenrant.com and search The Crow in their database. The most recent person to drop out of the title role was Bradley Cooper.

 

 

I think the main problem is that nobody can come up with a story that isnt a straight rehash of the original. Nobody wants a shot for shot remake

Michael Bay to Reboot Ninja Turtles

News has been circulating about a live action ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ reboot from Michael Bay’s company Platinum Dunes since 2010. Finally, after an extremely long dormant period, we have some new news about the project. THR says that Jonathan Liebesman, the director of ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning’, ‘Battle: Los Angeles’, and the upcoming ‘Wrath of the Titans’, is in the final stages of negotiations to direct the turtles for Bay and Paramount.

i just read a review of Ghostrider 2. This was in the second paragraph of the review

 

I can best sum up Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance with a quote that a fellow audience member spoke as the end credits rolled: “This one makes the first one look real good.”

I'm being totally serious, especially concerning the Thundercats. I'd love a live action film based on that show. Can you think of a more perfect fit for a character than Michael Clark Duncan for Panthro?

 

I would love it too. But it would have to be motion capture Avatar-style imo

He wouldn't be directing, so I'm fine with it.

 

Saw The Phantom Menace in 3D. I liked it more than I remembered.

Man, I'm telling people, it's a good movie and I don't really understand the hate. Everything save Jar-Jar is awesome.

I enjoyed the whole trilogy (1 through 3). There were some flaws but to me the hate some of these movies received was just ridiculous.

Red Tails isn't a great movie on the ground and it's a bit too "feel good/Hollywood-ish," but definitely worth your time just for the aeriel fighting sequences.

 

Terrence Howard and David Oyelowo were both excellent, although I'd love to see him (Howard, and Cuba Gooding, for that matter) in more roles that really stretched his ability.

Bad news for fans of the character, admirers of quality filmmaking, and anyone who forgot to bring some Tylenol to the screening.

 

FEARnet Cage maintains his reign as Hollywood's Captain of Crazy with a performance that sometimes feels like an impression of Andy Samberg's impression of him.

 

RedEye Quite why Brian Taylor and Mark Neveldine, the directors of the brilliant Crank, got involved is anyone's guess. Perhaps their tax bills were also due.

 

9 positive reviews / 47 negs (not too far behind THIS MEANS WAR w/ Reese Witherspoon)

 

 

Actually, the first one was mildly entertaining, in a campy sort of way.

 

1/2 or even 1 full star just for the presence of the ever-beautiful Eva Mendes.

I agree, but they were more just action movies whereas the original trilogy had more to it story wise and a lot better acting. It's kinda like how people hate on Matrix 2 and 3. The second Matrix movie is one of the best action movies ever IMO, but it's not the psychological thriller like the original. Now the third Matrix, meh, but it still had great scenes.

The Grey was a nifty little flick. Definitely not a happy ending, feel good story in any way, shape or form.

 

Ebert made an interesting comment, that he'd never once walked out of a theater when reviewing a film...but that he did for the 2nd movie in a row he was watching after The Grey.

 

I don't think it was THAT chilling or depressing, any more than INTO THE WILD or similar "survival" movies.

 

That one where the three kids were stranded on the ski lift with the wolves actually got to me more than The Grey.

 

 

That said, Liam Neeson's having quite an impressive run now as an action star. Lots of actors of that same ilk putting out stuff recently, Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington fall into that same category where every project they're involved in makes $20-30 million the opening weekend.
