New Iron Man trailer http://www.themovieblog.com/2008/02/new-iron-man-trailer-holy This trailer is even better than the first one. Holy crap, that was good. Okay, you have me. The Love Guru trailer http://www.themovieblog.com/2008/02/love-guru-trailer As the TMB guy stated, you will notice that Jessica Alba is in the trailer very little. It does feel like the marketing guys are trying to push the Austin Powers angle instead, and avoiding the bad press Alba brings. Hey, I’m sure Alba will suck in it, but I did laugh at a few parts in the trailer. Just don’t make another one of these and we’ll be okay. Step Brothers http://www.filmjunk.com/2008/02/28/step-brothers-trailer-starring-will-ferrell-and-john-c-reilly/ I like this trailers a lot. While I don’t like some of Will Ferrell’s movies, I think this one looks funny as hell.

On that Maxim thing, MC got around to mentioning this and did a very good post on it. http://rantocracy.blogspot.com/2008/02/maxim-magazine-losing-little.html I’m too lazy to write about this incident, but MC pretty much sums up what I think about the situation. There seems to be a little bit hostility toward the Black Crowes coming from Maxim and the fact they didn’t apologize to the band. I'm no Crowes fan, but come on. Keep in mind, Maxim was the mag that had that horrid reviewer Peter Hammond too. If it wasn’t for the half naked ladies in the magazine, I wouldn’t open it and I certainly don’t read it. It’s like a picture book for grown men, and some women.

Random Bits ~Mentally, I am feeling much better. The only thing I’m stressing about is that I’ve run out of ideas for story pitches in my news writing class. I’m dry out of story ideas. ~I have an extreme hatred for Jenny McCarthy. I still don't understand why she has a career after Dirty Love, and I probably will never understand it. Here's what I want you to do though, see if you can watch this “Dirty Love” clip all the way through. If think that was bad, try this clip of her acting high as a plane. Or how about this one where she farts into her phone to her mom ! That's some great acting there isn't it? ~ Here's an alternate segment of score that was unused in the Mulan movie . Music by Jerry Goldsmith. Here's what was used in the movie . Which version do you prefer? ~ Cracked does it again with 7 viral videos that are actually fake : I really like the one about the woman crashing through a window. I can't believe someone ...

This freaking cat likes me…well he likes to bite and scratch me. Every time I go over this guy’s house, the cat greets me. He is nice to me for about five minutes and then attacks me. I do know he doesn’t hate me though, because I’ve seen him behave differently to people that he really hates. I just think he enjoys attacking me.

I’ve heard all the shit going down about the Fanboys movie. You know, the movie that was supposed to be released last year. Well, things haven’t been going well for it development of late. And, all the ‘fanboys’ are feeling like this movie may very well became stinker now that the studio has put so much bull crap into the film. Why are they so hell bent on making changes to a film that doesn’t have that much in production cost anyway? Even if the movie bombed in the theaters in its original form, it would make the cash back in the DVD sales. http://www.flyingmonkeycomics.co.uk/index.php?cid=118 This comic strip sums up what happened to this movie nicely. What kills me is that some people have seen the original cut of the film before the studio demanded re-cuts. http://www.aintitcool.com/node/35673 They cut out the cancer storyline, which grounded the movie in a serious message, leaving the movie without compassion. So, now these characters go on this adventu...

Diablo Cody Naked…barely On Film School Rejects, I saw a post about some photos of Diablo Cody being released on the Web. And given my own connections to a certain female nude scandal, I figured I’d post the link to the site that has them up. The photos themselves are not even close to being graphic like certain other photos involving a now famous cheerleader. You can check them out here. And, I’ve grown to like Diablo Cody more lately. And, I think there’s a cute face covered in all that dark makeup. Some of the photos are better than other ones. They’re uncensored when you click on them. I think she’s has some talent that doesn’t involve sliding down a pole or taking one dollar bills from lonely male strangers in a densely smoked-up strip club. She knows how to write, and we’ll see if her second movie will live up to the hype. Until then, we can enjoy seeing her naked in these pictures. Now, how did these pictures see the light of day? Note: watch the ...

So long, Omar. http://tv.ign.com/articles/854/854847p1.html Yeah, this review on the latest episode of the Wire pretty much sums up how I felt about the episode. Since this is the last season, they’ve been wrapping up many of the long-running storylines left and right. Many characters have been killed off, while others have somehow survived. Some characters find themselves jobless. Omar didn’t go out like most people wanted him to, but his death was shocking. It was even shocking who ended up killed him too. Omar Little was a stickup man that only targeted drug dealers and mob folk. He was almost like a brutal Robin Hood. He went to war with the main drug dealer in the city and lost. But, indirectly his death has helped in the overall investigation. Anyway, like last season, this season of the Wire has been great.

Gary Busey is the man! http://youtube.com/watch?v=xQYeL7RInsg Comment: I like that Busey interrupts Ryan Seacrest. Seacrest has nothing interesting to say when he’s kissing the asses of the celebrities around him. How many softball questions can this guy ask in one evening? Busey made the dull red carpet moment interesting. Of course, Gary has made an apology about the incident . Why? Hey, it could have been worst. Gary could have handcuffed himself to Seacrest. I just wish someone would go up to Seacrest and punch him in the face. Never has someone done so little, but were paid so much. Please, Gary, I’d like to see more of this on red carpets. Hell, let’s make it a reality show out of it.

I guess these two come from the dress school Steven Seagal . Random Bits ~I watched about 10 minutes of Snakes on a Plane. I really can't say I could sit through the entire movie. Sure, it was intentionally bad, but the movie was really bad. The CGI snakes were the worst. ~ Remember when the actual writer of Yesterday's Enterprise actually left a comment on my blog? It looks like Eric Stillwell has written a book on the “Making of Yesterday's Enterprise”. It was certainly one of those stories that probably would have never been told on the old show. I still get a kick out the guy leaving a comment on my review. I'll pick up the book sometime. ~I need to download that “I'm f'ing Matt Damon”. Now, it appears Kimmel is f'ing Ben Affleck ! How did he get all these actors to join in on the joke? Look for the “we are the world” joke . ~Ever since getting over the Flu/cold, I haven't been myself lately. I simply don't have the drive to...

Here's a sneak peek to the next episode of Lost I wonder why Desmond is acting all loopy? It is good to see Kevin Durand (3:10 to Yuma and Smokin Aces) in this episode.

Witless Protection This movie came out of nowhere. I knew nothing about it until I saw an ad on TV. And my first thought was this, “Larry made another movie?” Someone needs to stop Larry the Cable Guy. Of course, his new movie has 00% on rotten tomatoes . Way to go, Larry! Anyway, the real reason to really hate this movie is that Jenny McCarthy is in the movie. Yeah, ‘Dirty Love’ McCarthy. She is one of the worst actress/comedians I’ve ever witnesses (witless). Yet, I also have to ask this: Why is Yaphet Kotto is the damn film? Did he really need the cash? This guy was in ‘Alien’ and ‘Homicide: Life on the Streets’. You can check out the trailer too . So how much did Witless make? $2,190,000. It didn’t even break into the top ten. Congratulations, Larry. Not even your fan base went to see this movie. Please, let's stop these two from making anymore movies.

Cracked Magazine has “ Five upcoming comic book movies that must be stopped ” I’m a comic book movie geek, so I think they have a very convincing argument here for stopping these five projects. Some of these characters are just lame, really lame. Sub-Mariner: I’m sorry, but Aquaman is still a better character. A guy wearing green underwear and nothing else doesn’t seem strange to anyone? Ditch the underwear for some cool digs. Shazam! (Captain Marvel): DC simply can’t get any secondary character movies off the ground. They don’t know what they want to do, because the pre-production of the Justice League movie was a total mess. I think there is room for a Captain Marvel in today’s audience, if done correctly. I don’t think they should get an emo kid to play the child version, but don’t make him white bread either. Bruce Timm series and the Kingdom Come comics did a great job of portraying the character in a different light. In many ways, he’s become the anti-...

The Man with One Red Shoe Okay, I fondly remember watching this on HBO back in the day. Stan Dragoti , who has only gone on directed six other movies, directed this 1985 comedy. After watching this movie and Necessary Roughness , you can see why he hasn’t worked since. When I was a little child, I couldn’t see the bad joke set-ups and the poor edits. Now that I’m all grown-up, I can see this movie for what it is, a mess. But, it is not a total mess. Being a ‘cold war’ movie, it hasn’t aged well. Now, that’s not to say the movie doesn’t have some good points to it. Tom Hanks is great as the nobody that these spies pick to make a major case out of a scandal. Hanks’ character is playful and foolish enough not to notice all the spies trying to capture or bugged him. Hanks isn’t the only one worth seeing either. The movie is comprised of a good cast. Dabney Coleman , Charles Durning , Carrie Fisher , James Belushi , Edward Herrmann , and David Ogden Stier...

Pat O' Brien being horny http://youtube.com/watch?v=Log_RaUoT_I Comment: Yeah, that's a way to a woman's heart. He pretty much agrees to do everything in the sex book. I can't stand this guy at all. He's like the worst of the worst. But, it's good to know he's a super freak that leaves creepy voice messages on a woman's voice main. Real smooth, Pat.

Once again, The Samurai Frog wrote another impressive post about being an outsider . I figured I'd my three cents. It's always funny to look back at your life and notice the twists and turns that happen on the way, and how it all led you to this point in life. You don't have that foresight growing up that you do now. I knew I was different growing up. I didn't hang with the rest of the kids. Something inside me keep me from being normal. As I grew older, I became more cynical about life at a young age. I simply didn't have the social skills to relate to the other kids, and found myself playing alone. No kid should never have that feeling in their childhood. (Which is where my imagination kicked into high gear.) In high school, I found myself not wanting to be around other people. I simply didn't want anyone close to me. My forced solicitude became my comfort zone. My attitude got really bad, to the point that all I wanted was to get out of high...

http://www.edmontonsun.com/Lifestyle/Gadgets/2008/02/19/4859507.html As I stated before, the formats wars are pretty much over. Toshiba threw in the towel today officially. Rumor has it that they wanted to stop production over the next few months but the Wal-mart and Best Buy announcements pretty much forced them to accurate their decision. ((Critically, only two of the major Hollywood studios — Universal plus Paramount and its DreamWorks division — have been releasing exclusively in HD DVD. Both studios are doomed in the high-def business if they do not capitulate and quickly switch. Both are expected to do so, although both studios refused to comment to Sun Media this week.)) Well, there is good news and bad news. Paramount has already had experience in making Blue Ray discs. They had several Blue Ray discs in the works when their exclusive deal with HD DVD came about. Expect Transformers to see the Blu-Ray light real soon. Bad news; Universal put all their eggs i...

Random Bits ~Man, HBO is playing the heck out of the movie Epic Movie. The movie just keeps getting worst after every viewing. Why do they continue to makes these pieces of crap? ~I’m still very sick, but I’ve gotten better. I’m not up to 100% yet, about 40% ~It looks like Doc Brown will reprise his role in a Music Video . I'm really looking forward to this one. It reminds me of that “Sweep the Leg” music video . ~ Does Denise Richards need her own reality show? However, we do have more than enough useless reality shows starring non-celebrities.

Ah, crap. I feel like total crap today. I’ve contracted a cold. My joints hurt, and I have a cough. I have to focus and get a rewrite done on my profile piece. I hate colds and I hate this damn weather...(even though it is in the early 50s now)

The People Vs. George Lucas http://io9.com/356989/tell-george-lucas-why-star-wars-sucks Yep, this appears real. Some fanboys are going to make a documentary about their complaints about the franchise. I really do like the idea, because someone needs to tell Lucas he has some problems with his writing style. H ere's the site : I will certainly watch it, but something tells me that Lucas will do everything in his power to shut down this project. He doesn't take criticisms very well. The focus will be on the new trilogy and the Special Editions (I still support the SE movies) I just hope they keep it balanced and not have it turn into a fanboy rant. All we need is a bunch of Harry Knowles bitching. However, I’d love hear how the fans would have made the films better, not just a bitching session. Let it be known, I think he did a few things right with the new trilogy, actually some things were better directed and written than most of “Return of the Jedi”...

Coming off the the Kanye West vibe from the earlier post, here is that impressive live “Stronger” performance. I just love the light glasses and the glowing suit. You also get a kick-ass appearance by Daft Punk, they were the original people that created the song “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” . I love that people think Kanye West stole their song when they actually show up in the damn music video! I like this version better than the single version, because it incorporates more of Daft Punks' style than the single version.

Kanye West's “Flashing Lights” video I have to agree with the poster of the video, I love this Music video. But, I also like the song too. It has a very 90s feel to it. Plus, you can't go wrong with a fine ass woman taking her outfit off and burning it, then walking around half-naked. She has a nice body on her. Whatever is going to happen after the video ends is going to be really bad for both of them. (though what she does in the video is also bad). I've pretty much liked every song Kanye has released this year. Despite his ego, he can certainly back it up with his music.

Cool pic There are some rumblings of Toshiba dropping their format ... Well, the HD DVD format war is pretty much over . After the Netflix and Walmart announcements, Blue Ray will end up being the single format. Many of these problems came about because both camps refused to work together and make one format. Think of all the money both format camps have wasted on advertising and development. By working together, they both could have saved money. And shared the development cost. Then there is Microsoft abandoning Toshiba, leaving them to talk up the benefits of HD DVD. I’m still surprised that no one is talking about MS leaving Toshiba behind in the trenches. It is an interesting way of spinning loss by making it seem like Toshiba is the only one loosing in this war. I still believe MS would have made a difference if they stayed with the HD DVD camp and pumped more money into it. However, MS still is dealing with all those defective XBOXs that they have to pay for and try...

Random News things... ~ Bai Ling shoplifts : She stole $16 worth of stuff from a store in a LA Gift Shop. Here's the part that gets me, ((The employee detained Ling under a citizen's arrest until airport cops arrived on the scene.)) Really? You make a citizens arrest over $16? Yeah, way to go employee of the year. You just detained a drugged up has-never in you store. Unfortunately, I'm sure this will help her crappy career somehow. ~ Man Arrested for playing his MP3 player : Uh, really? You thought it was a gun? Now, if he was listening to Britney Spears, then he should have been arrested. ~ They have the ID of the man behind the shooting : The Samurai Frog and Becca live in Dekalb , Illinois where that horrible shooting happened. There will be more info to come out about this guy. I’m sure we’ll see Internet proof and background and other things. How did he get three guns anyway? Expect there to be blame on TV and Videogames in the coming days...

I’ve loved watching this season of Lost so far, but something been bothering me for a while. Where the hell is the damn Smoke Monster? We did get a mention this season. And, I did enjoy that Locke asked Ben about the Smoke Monster. I want to see people running away from streams of black smoke, music pumping. You know, I’d love to see the Smoke Monster show up on other TV shows. How would Jay Leno interview the Smoke Monster? Would it take the shape of Johnny Carson? Up in smoke...

A review of the new animated Justice League movie is up http://www.wfdvdreport.com/index.php?action=fullnews&id=350 I’ll give this movie a chance, because I enjoyed the Superman Doomsday animated film so much. The film is going for a completely different look all together. (1950s) Now, if they really wanted to mix it up and be bold. Have the Justice League unlimited crossover with the Justice League: The New Frontier universe. (Release date on DVD/Blue Ray February 26th, 2008) Here’s the trailer http://youtube.com/watch?v=cnkKnvomyjU

Xenu threw them in here... Random Bits ~I’ve been extremely busy the past few weeks. Why? Well, I’ve been doing a profile interview with a Romance Novelist, who I won’t mention here. She’s been one of the best interviews I’ve ever had. I focused the interview on her writing style and how she came up with her stories. I could really see myself doing this for a living. I’d love to interview famous people with talent like the romance novelist I’ve interviewed. She was really nice and a joy to hear. ~ Gary Coleman got married ?: Uh, she is 22-years-old and he’s 40. However, he looks like a grumpy 15 year-old. Was Webster his best man? Does she get insurance coverage from his security job insurance package? I was hoping he’d marry Mary Carey . His new wife is 22; I bet she’s never heard of Different Strokes or The Kid with the Broken Halo . ~ I’ve learned a new word today: Glomp! What does it mean? Read it for yourself. I’ve seen it done in many A...

MC mentioned this in the comment section and here is the video review http://youtube.com/watch?v=avAznOqOTdQ Yeah, they bash this movie hard, but it deserves. Best line: She looks like a pornstar after a really long weekend. I'm sure some of Paris' fans will write in and complain about their remarks, especially the Pornstar one. Make sure to read MC’s post too. He has a better video link than the one I had. http://rantocracy.blogspot.com/2008/02/all-i-have-to-say-about-hottie-and.html I'm still waiting for A Night in Paris II: This time it's Multiple Btw, she has another movie coming out too. Repo! The Genetic Opera : (25 April 2008)

Shaka, when the walls fell (More fallout from the Jeff Gerstmann firing) Ryan Davis is another editor that left Gamespot. ((The final entry in Davis' blog at GameSpot, written after Gerstmann's departure, reads in part: "Jeff's gone, and I'm not afraid to say that it absolutely breaks my heart... this marks the end of an era for both GameSpot and myself, a fact that doesn't seem to be getting any less upsetting for me." )) I hate that these reviewers have lost their jobs, but I think this makes sure people are reminded of the true injustice here. It isn't the firing of Gerstmann, but that marketing has control over the journalist side of video gaming reviews. If a company doesn't like a review, that writer of that review could very well lose his job, or worst see his work re-edited by the people in marketing. This is a very dangerous time for writers now. For a better view of the growing bad press and the bigger picture, read this opi...

The Heartbreak Kid Did we time warp back into the mid 90s? Ben Stiller stars as Eddie Cantrow, a guy that owns a sporting good store. He falls in love with a woman in a matter of weeks and decides to marry her. They travel to Mexico for their honeymoon. But, Eddie begins to realize that his new wife is more of a train wreck than even Mrs. Britney Spears. Later, he falls in love with another woman. The Farrelly brothers directed this misguided ‘comedy’ and it shows. There are tons of nudity and dirty joke, but not much else. I will give them credit for letting the film be raunchy without dropping it to a weak PG-13. You will see more than you ever wanted of Malin Akerman ’s naked body. (There’s even a shot of her peeing on someone with a close up shot of her va-jay-jay. I kid you not. I didn’t laugh or feel disgusted. I felt indifferent.) But, the movie is flawed, greatly flawed. The Farrelly brothers and Stiller made There's Something About Mary ...

Random Thoughts ~For some reason my CD/MP3 player stopped working. I guess it could have been the big storm that caused it to stop working. Anyway, I ended up getting a Philips digital audio player (2 GB). Man, I am loving this little bad boy. My only problem with it is that some mp3 don't have titles and the player won't recognize them, so I have to add a name to them. A lot of the CBS podcast are like that. ~Danny Bonaduce is a life coach? Are these cartoons suppose to be funny ? ~Remember that big storm that killed over 50 people? Yours truly got trapped in my car for 30 minutes waiting for the storm to pass...in the UPS parking lot. The car shook as the rain came down sideways. I called my work office only to discover that the entire area was in storm shelters. When all this was happening, I thought to myself, “Great, I'm going to end up dying in a freaking parking lot. My work's parking lot.” ~I agree that the David Shuster comment was bad , bu...

Here are a few sneak peeks of the third episode This season so far has kicked ass. The second episode was just freaking great. My first theory was that these new people were DHARMA, but they might be another group altogether. Plus, we also know that the Writer's Strike is over, so we'll probably get a full 16 ep season.

The Hottie and the Nottie Reading through TMZ, I came across a post about Paris Hilton and her movie . I vaguely remembered that she mentioned the movie in her awkward interview with David Letterman last year. TMZ says that the movie will end up being a box office bomb, and it looks like her sex tape will end up making more money than her new movie. She probably 'acts' better in her sex tape too... But, it makes you wonder why they even bothered to release it in the theaters anyway. Jessica Simpson could not get her movie out of the direct-to-video hell, yet Hilton gets a pass. Does she not know that the reviewers are out for blood? So, is the movie bad? Well, check the trailer out for yourself . And, I think Blonde Ambition had a better trailer. I'm still trying to figure how anyone at the studio can think this movie is going to make money. Then again, the Chipmunks and Meet the Spartans were box office hits. And if you need more proof, check out Rotten...

Fun with text messages A few nights ago, I received this random text message: Hi boo whats up wit cha this Holland Now, what the hell does this mean? Is he from Holland ? I figured he’s talking to a lady friend. Booty Call perhaps? Where is the area code 150 located? I sometimes get these random text messages and they are always enjoyable.

Superman 64 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur25KP061PE This has to be one of the worst games ever created. I’ve never had the privilege of playing this piece of crap. Check out the poor animation. And it is considered the worst game ever. Here's the story behind the mess of the game from Wiki; (( Lex Luthor has created a virtual version of Metropolis and has succeeded in trapping Lois Lane , Jimmy Olsen and Professor Emil Hamilton within it. Superman must enter the virtual world to fly through countless hoops, save his friends, and stop Lex Luthor. Other villains Superman must contend with include Parasite and Brainiac .)) Btw, this game is set in the Bruce Timm universe. I wonder what the producers of the show think of this game. I think the studio forced them to use Bruce Timm’s designs and market the game as such. Remember, this is the same studio that green-lit Catwoman and Batman & Robin. I’m sorry but it looks like this is an early demo th...

Gentlemen, behold the I-clicker. The school is forcing people to start buying this little toy. It cost nearly 40 bucks. But what does it do? It clicks. It’s like a remote control. You use it to take role and on quizzes. You just do it on a large screen instead of a bubble sheet. Plus, once you send in your ID number whatever answer you have goes into your grades. I'd like to see this bad boy do things like open locked doors and collect energy on a Navel Ship...

Deconstructing Jerry Goldsmith’s Main Title/ Klingon Battle music For Star Trek: The Motion Picture http://youtube.com/watch?v=CXYjvrzJkl8 Before the director’s cut of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, it was an incomplete film. Jerry Goldsmith ended up being the true hero during the troubled post-production. Robert Wise had to fire an entire FX company and replace it with another team, so he didn’t have time to add many sound effects to the movie. Goldsmith came in and ended up doing many of the sound effects within his musical score. One such example was the V’ger theme, heard during after the TMP fanfare. Using Craig Hundley’s Blaster Beam was a brilliant way of conveying the alien nature of V’ger. His Klingon theme here, heard for the first time, would make appearances in STV, First Contact, and Insurrection. Ron Jones, who is also a Family Guy composer now, would have his Klingon theme closely influenced by Goldsmith’s theme. I liked how Goldsmith used trib...

Small is Tall in the world of Starbucks. http://youtube.com/watch?v=vFLs9RI8mSA Yeah, I’ve already ranted about the confusion between the various sizes of coffees at Starbucks, but this lady does do an entertaining job expressing my confusing. I also like the expression of the worker that is explaining the rules behind the size difference.

Growing up, Alley was a Methodist. At some point in her adult life Xenu beamed her up to the mother ship. However, I’m not certain exactly when she became a Scientologist. I just know the result is a mess. She ballooned up to 200-230 lbs and I am certain a lot of that didn’t have to do with her just eating a lot. Something tells me she got involved with the cult around her Look Who's Talking days. Remember, her fellow co-star was John Travolta . Then again, doing a movie about talking babies could drive any person mad. I’m guessing Mr. Travolta introduced her or at least help her reach a higher level in the cult. Why is her hair always a mess? How does it look like she just jumped out of a window? And, she has that crazy look on her face. While I am always the one that says I like a lady with a bit of junk-in-the-trunk, this is a bit much. It’s like getting a U-haul truck that is three times over the size of the one you needed for the job. Anywa...

Xenu, I want my Saavik back Part I Because of MC’s Masterful post on Scientology, I thought about something, no someone, Xenu has taken away from me. It is Kirstie Alley. Back in 1982, this young actress found her very first role Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan . She played Lt. Saavik a young and up and coming officer. She was hot with some of the prettiest eyes I’ve ever seen. She brought sexy back…to Vulcan. I found myself, a young man, attracted to this stunning woman with pointy ears. While I was a little disappointed that she turned down reprising her role in Star Trek III, I still liked her as an actress. Much later in her career, she did something most actresses couldn’t do, she was able to integrate herself into a hit show and make it a better show in the process. "Cheers" became a bigger hit with Alley in the cast. The chemistry ended up being a better fit between Ted Danson and Alley. She was an amazing actress. However, things would chan...

Bret Michaels has more makeup on than all these ladies around him and probably more facelifts too… Random Thoughts ~I thought some of the ads from the Most Distasteful Super Bowl ads were pretty strange . I generally avoid the Super Bowl. I didn't watch it this year either, but I still like those Snickers ads from last year. BTW, the Bud Lite one was just stupid. The Sales Genie ads are just plain racist. ~ Yes, there is a Venom movie in the early stages . I have to wonder if this movie is necessary. Venom stunk up Spider-man III. But, as long as they can keep the people responsible for Spider-man III away from this movie, there might be a chance this movie could end up being good. Should it be a re-boot? Nope, but it shouldn’t beholden to what happened in the Spiderman movie either. Venom at times thinks of himself as a hero. It would be a nice turn of events. And, keep Topher Grace away from the movie. ~ Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Wo...

3:10 to Yuma This remake is full of action and good writing. What more do you want out of an action movie? In order to save his ranch and house, Christian Bale’s character embarks on a mission to take outlaw Russell Crowe’s character (Ben Wade) to a prison train for cash. He has to wait until 3:10 for that train to arrive, but Wade’s gang has other plans. This movie came out of nowhere, and it received a lot of critical praise. There’s a reason why; this movie kicks ass. Based on a short story and 1957 film, Yuma is both subtle and loud at the same time. The writing is good, but the acting from all the stars is the why this movie is so enjoyable. I’ve attacked Crowe for many of his attitude antics over the years, but there is no denying that he can act. Crowe plays Wade so intensely that he almost steals every scene from Christian Bale. You will see both sides of Wade in the movie. He is a cold-blooded killer, but there are a few things honorable about him...
