TRADE Review
I understand that it’s a difficult task to film the issue of human trafficking, but usually when it comes to viral matters in life like this one, the filmmaker needs to address the message and present it in a way that will move the audience or at least make them think ‘There’s something wrong here, this ain’t right! And we gotta do something.”
To a certain level, this film manages to do just that but as far as the art of filmmaking goes,… Read more
THE GAME PLAN Review
THE GAME PLAN, bottomline, is a family movie. If you don’t have a family of your own, if you don’t have a son or daughter to watch this movie with you, then you’d probably feel awkward about the whole thing. It’s good to see action movie star trying to be well-rounded by taking on comedy films, but if what you’d get from The Game Plan is the similar thing you got from… Read more
THE DARK KNIGHT Rollercoasters
I’m so excited about this info, you have no idea how euphorically happy I am to hear that Six Flags will make roller-coasters based on the upcoming new Batman film THE DARK KNIGHT. The roller-coasters will open in three theme parks: Six Flags Great America in… Read more
ASTROBOY The Movie!
According to firstshowing, Imagi Animation Studios, the force behind the CGI movie TMNT: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles earlier this year, will make the feature film version of the Japanese cult cartoon series: Astroboy! It aims for release sometime in 2009. Warner Bros. and Weinstein Company have agreed to distribute the film. It’s going to be directed by some dude by the name Colin Brady, no relation to Wayne Brady :), but Colin has experiences working with CGI stuff and visual effects (Hulk, E.T., Lemony Snicket).
Growing up in Asia, I remember watching it on TV as a kid, they showed Japanimation cartoon re-runs like crazy. A scientist created Astroboy to replace his young son that died. Astroboy struggles to find acceptance in human world and uses his powers to save Metro City from alien destruction. Kids back then would read the comic books too, but I was more of a fan of Doraemon, they should make that into a movie!

Just a real quick FYI, Jessica Biel turned down the offer to play Wonder Woman in JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA The Movie and now they’re confirming that the director for the project won’t be George Miller (Happy Feet) but instead it will be David Slade (30 Days of Night).
Ya know.. just make the damn movie already! Or don’t make it at all! Maybe we should come up with our own list of who would be perfect to play JLA superheroes and who should make the film.

Clips from THE HEARTBREAK KID
The Farrelly brothers’ movies always crack me up, every one of them from There’s Something about Mary, Me Myself & Irene, Shallow Hal, even Stuck On You. So when Ben Stiller’s collaborated with the Farrelly brothers again in the upcoming movie THE HEARTBREAK KID, I just had to find out if I could watch some of the spoiler clips before the movie comes out in theaters October 5th. And here are some the clips found online from the movie THE HEARTBREAK KID, which is about a newlywed man who decides to get married too soon without finding out that his wife’s actually crazy and during honeymoon, he finds love in another woman. O by the way.. Ben Stiller’s going to return in Night At the Museum 2.

THE KINGDOM Review
This movie won’t come out in theaters until September 28th. But Rama’s SCREEN went to the screening and here is the early review of THE KINGDOM. I think it’s fair to say that this movie closes summer blockbuster season and opens for the Oscar-worthy movies season. And it’s great way to start it. When a movie has all star cast in it, that could mean either two things:… Read more
Get on the Road trip movies

Clips and New Movie Poster NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN
Javier Bardem looks creepy in this upcoming Coen Brothers’ thriller NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. He’s walking around murdering people with what it seems to be some sort of an oxygen tank or somethin’, that thing is one deadly weapon, though. The great Tommy Lee Jones is going to co-star. Here we have two clips from the movie and… Read more
O JERUSALEM, where art thou?
All you history buff would probably appreciate this upcoming movie O JERUSALEM, which centers around the friendship between two men, a Jewish and an Arab, while the state of Israeli is being formed. Opens limited October 17th. It looks like it’s going to be a pretty interesting movie to see. I love history, it’s the subject I was really good at back in high school, besides… those who cannot remember the past are bound to repeat it, right?!

Set Photos
Well, well, well, what do we have here, some photos from film set of Keira Knightley’s new movie THE DUCHESS. I wonder why Keira Knightley always finds herself choosing projects like this one (Pride and Prejudice, Silk) that demands her to go back to centuries ago when women wore corset, held umbrellas during sunny days while reading books that were probably Jane Austen’s novels.
And this next one is a picture from the set of Dane Cook’s new comedy film BATCHELOR No. 2, which also has Kate Hudson as the co-star. Dane Cook plays a guy hired by men who’ve been dumped to take their ex-girlfriends out on nightmare dates so the girls would have second thoughts and they’ll go back to their boyfriends. I think Dane Cook should stick with stand up comic than to be doing comedy movies. Who else agrees with me?!

Mr. WOODCOCK Review
Billy Bob Thornton is famous for being a ladies man, either that or a ladykiller. He’s been married 5 times, including one to earth’s pride and joy Angelina Jolie and no matter how wrinkly he’ll become, oddly women still find him irresistible. I think School for Scoundrels, Bad Santa, and Mr. Woodcock is just him being him. But seriously though, Sling Blade and the recent Astronaut Farmer did prove that Billy is more than capable of… Read more
Brad Pitt with a bloody nose
Brad Pitt has been trying to get that nomination but seems to come up short. BABEL failed to showcase his talent and his performance in THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES doesn’t look extraordinary. If you ask me, I think he should’ve gotten recognized for the movie Seven and of course, Fight Club. Now he’s shooting a movie directed by the brothers of destruction, The Coen Brothers (Fargo, Big Lebowski, No Country for Old Men) and this picture taken from the set, thanks to justjared, looks like Brad Pitt rides around on a bicycle and and cries over a bloody nose. The movie’s called BURN BEFORE READING.
Lucky for us, Mr. Pitt won’t always be doing wussy roles like this one, recently he’s signed on to co-star with Mark Wahlberg in another fight movie called THE FIGHTER where they play Irish brothers boxing their way out of the tough Massachusetts neighborhood. Brad might have to run the extra mile to earn an Oscar, but for now I think he should stick with giving punks the bloody nose.
