To be part of something that revolutionary is killer; perfect stories to one day tell your kid's kids. Two weekends ago marked the fortieth anniversary of the music festival that rocked America, and to celebrate, the Bethel Center for the Arts near the original area that the event took place held a music festival. Some VH1 specials were also shown and a book by Woodstock helmer Michael Lang was released. You'd think that we'd be done with the recreation, right? Buddy, I can't tell you how wrong you are.<br /></p><p><em>Taking Woodstock</em> is about Elliot Teichberg. He and his parents Sonia and Jake are strapped for cash and are soon going to be bankrupt if they can't come up with a way to gather money. When Elliot hears of Michael Lang and his crew's failed attempt to hold their "peace and music" festival in Wallkill, New York, Elliot thinks that they could hold it on his fifteen acres. That's where <em>Taking Woodstock</em>'s hour-and-a-half remaining time begins. And what a ninety-minutes it is. Not a lot of buzz prior to <em>Taking</em>'s release, which I found to be pretty odd. Even Lee's last major movie <em>Brokeback Mountain</em> had a decent amount of commercial in hopes of snagging some Oscars (which it did). I, however, first saw the preview in June before <em>Away We Go</em> and you better believe I was psyched. Ang Lee doing a Woodstock movie? <em>Far out!<br /></em></p><p> When reminded of Ang Lee, you think generally good things. He seems like a big movie director, although he's really not. His movie list is phenomenal: <em>Brokeback Mountain</em>, <em>The Hire</em>, <em>Sense and Sensibility</em> and (for some reason) <em>Hulk</em>. However if you examine Lee's directing style, he's hit-and-miss. More of the same in <em>Taking Woodstock</em>. The beginning is fine enough, basically showing Elliot's life before holding the Woodstock music festival. You'd think it would be if James Schamus didn't drag his screenplay out so long that it takes a half an hour for Michael Lang and Elliot Teichberg to even meet. The half hour is filled with random nothingness, from nude dancing hippies who reside in the family's barn to a close-up of Eugene Levy walking out of a diner for thirty seconds. Who wants to see that? I get the point that you want <em>Taking</em> to be a sleeper hit and a revolutionary movie for music lovers Ang Lee, but are you <em>serious?!</em><br /> </p><p>Which brings me to Demetri Martin, the kid that plays Elliot. I've enjoyed a lot of Martin's previous work, whether it is his <em>Important Things</em> sketch show on Comedy Central (which will soon launch its second season) to his stand-up comedy. While his general awkward and quirkiness can bring a television show or a comedy club audience to life, a feature-length flick shows a person's true colors: can this guy <em>truly</em> act? I'm reminded greatly of Dane Cook when he was an up-and-coming comic and was casted in <em>Employee of the Month</em> simply because the movie studio figured he'd bring in money from fanboys. I believe that Martin was hired because Lee didn't want a star-studded cast to reign in <em>Taking Woodstock</em>, rather for the audience to focus on the wonderful story. The offbeat way he speaks or acts may work on a Laugh Factory stage, but not in this movie. I don't know if it was because I only got three hours of sleep the night before I saw this but I found myself nodding off from time to time.<br /></p><p>The cinematography on <em>Taking Woodstock</em> is gorgeous, however, the mud-slide scene in the second half especially beautiful. That's one thing you can say about <em>Taking</em>, that Ang Lee recreates the summer 1969 festival perfectly. The sad part is that's all you can say about it. The idea of a Woodstock docudrama after the Oscar and fan base-winning Woodstock documentary in the '70s was risky, and I can understand why <em>Taking Woodstock</em> wasn't all that good. For a movie to live up to that breaking point in American culture is damn near impossible. A positive point that can be made of Ang Lee is that his next movie will probably be fantastic. He has a habit of alternating between making good or bad flicks. I assumed that this would be one of his good ones, and to sum it up shortly I was wrong.<br /></p><p><strong>2 ½ out of five stars.</strong></p></span>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15518859577815007259noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741374171933558106.post-90628502794074200842009-08-30T19:44:00.000-04:002009-08-30T19:46:05.203-04:00Taking Woodstock - Movie Review<object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/n3Vpsc_jg6g&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/n3Vpsc_jg6g&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="480"></embed></object>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15518859577815007259noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741374171933558106.post-56725346454093642242009-08-30T19:33:00.002-04:002009-08-30T19:38:54.658-04:00‘Halloween’ to be Remade in 3D?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikpEVVdzbQnkmqO1vSgNTWyS2kKUL-BmIbFzv4tXQkdQa02XNTrn7iL1lCf3isOT77iKyOaBa4iYssfYGDvz3A4GewUp0RWLt7TlEzb48eQ6_STiT-JnQ__aXGMXj9jplcfgFYT-7i3es/s1600-h/halloween1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 259px; height: 301px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikpEVVdzbQnkmqO1vSgNTWyS2kKUL-BmIbFzv4tXQkdQa02XNTrn7iL1lCf3isOT77iKyOaBa4iYssfYGDvz3A4GewUp0RWLt7TlEzb48eQ6_STiT-JnQ__aXGMXj9jplcfgFYT-7i3es/s320/halloween1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375904792829613762" border="0" /></a><br /><span xmlns="" style="font-size:130%;"><p>Rob Zombie, naturally, seems to be weaning off of the <em>Halloween</em> series to write and direct a remake of <a href="http://nicksmovieblog-macattack.blogspot.com/2009/08/rob-zombie-to-remake-blob.html"><em>The Blob</em></a>. But the Weinstein Company isn't done with John Carpenter's classic Michael Myers character, oh no. Dimension's Bob Weinstein told the <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/entertainmentnewsbuzz/2009/08/halloween-3d-coming-in-summer-2010.html">LA Times</a> that Zombie won't have any part in the upcoming remake of <em>Halloween </em>in 3D. Oh, and <em>Halloween</em> is being remade in 3D for a summer 2010 release. <a href="http://www.slashfilm.com/2009/08/30/halloween-3d-slated-for-summer-2010-without-rob-zombie/">Slash Film</a> is guessing that Alexandre Aja (<em>High Tension</em>) is in talks to direct it, but notes that Aja is also finishing up <em>Piranha 3D</em> for the same studio, Dimension, that is set to be released in April 2010, and that Aja to release two 3D horror flicks so close together for the same studio is highly unlikely. Nevertheless, Weinstein says that the new director has an experience in horror and will provide a "different take" on the Myers character.<br /></p><p>Rob Zombie remaking <em>Halloween</em> was a risky move that turned out great, and I haven't seen his sequel for myself yet. But remaking <em>Halloween</em> for the second time in less than three years just so it can be in 3D? That's just like slapping both Zombie and Carpenter in the face for wanting generation Y to appreciate a classic series.</p></span>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15518859577815007259noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741374171933558106.post-36295701969414205952009-08-30T16:35:00.002-04:002009-08-30T16:38:37.002-04:00‘The Final Destination’ Scares Up Big Money – Box Office Results: August 28th-30th<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisLf4Z-LI-ztHVoKo9594i5ETMHTCI_iDoSVRzmZMkCGUEHVvm4fYvHUM6htOTRh9jlXEytChKvPQaxwp5vy6TpG1Tg9JCkiNnzMGxymmSqH1NvQZVAcis0otlB6kPOmZFqH0-ezuQHi0/s1600-h/2009_final_destination_4_003.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 360px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisLf4Z-LI-ztHVoKo9594i5ETMHTCI_iDoSVRzmZMkCGUEHVvm4fYvHUM6htOTRh9jlXEytChKvPQaxwp5vy6TpG1Tg9JCkiNnzMGxymmSqH1NvQZVAcis0otlB6kPOmZFqH0-ezuQHi0/s320/2009_final_destination_4_003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375858749240568338" border="0" /></a><br /><span xmlns="" style="font-size:130%;"><p><em>The Final Destination</em>, which basically only added the word "the" as to not copy its original movie's title, came in first this weekend with $28.3 million. It became the highest-grossing opening for a <em>Final Destination</em> movie, surpassing 2006's <em>Final Destination 3</em>'s sum of $19.2 million by $9.1 million. Bad reviews from critics didn't seem to hurt this horror flick at all!<br /></p><p>In a Friday showdown between previous top rank holder <em>Inglourious Basterds</em> and debuting <em>Halloween II</em>, the Michael Myers remake dominated with $7.6 million over <em>Basterds</em>' $5.9 million. However Saturday Quentin Tarantino's WWII spoof passed <em>H2</em> by $2.4 million, raking in $8 million. So who took the crown of second place for the overall weekend? <em>Inglourious Basterds</em> did, with an estimated $20 million! Writer-director Rob Zombie's <em>Halloween II</em> stayed in third with $17.4 million. Shockingly, this was <em>less</em> than Zombie's 2007 slasher remake <em>Halloween!</em> That managed $26.4 million and it landed in the #1 spot. Looks like there won't be a <em>Halloween III</em> redo after all.<br /></p><p>Peter Jackson and Neill Blomkamp's <em>District 9</em> fell 41.3% to fourth place with an estimated $10.7 million. Its total is up to $90.8 million in three weeks. My guess is that it will easily pass the century mark by next weekend. Rounding out the top five is <em>G.I.

Neil Marshall doesn't return to write or direct this one though, making room for newcomer Jon Harris to film it off of nobody writers J. Blackeson, James McCarthy and James Watkins' screenplay. <em>The Descent: Part Two</em> picks up where the first one finished, with Sarah Carter escaping from the Appalachian cave system and immediately informing the police. The rescue team along with Carter head back to the caves to try to find her five friends and the <em>Descent</em> storyline kicks in once again. The plot sounds kind of fun. Maybe I ought to head to BlockBuster one rainy night and see the original for myself.<br /></p><p>Check out the trailer from IGN.com via <a href="http://www.blogger.com/%3Cembed%20src=%27http://videomedia.ign.com/ev/ev.swf%27%20flashvars=%27object_ID=14316746&downloadURL=http://moviesmovies.ign.com/movies/video/article/101/1019120/descent2_flvlow.flv&allownetworking=%22all%22%27%20type=%27application/x-shockwave-flash%27%20width=%27433%27%20height=%27360%27%20%3E%3C/embed%3E">MTV Movies Blog</a> below.</p><p><br /></p><embed src="http://videomedia.ign.com/ev/ev.swf" flashvars="object_ID=14316746&downloadURL=http://moviesmovies.ign.com/movies/video/article/101/1019120/descent2_flvlow.flv&allownetworking="all"" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="360" width="433"></embed></span>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15518859577815007259noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741374171933558106.post-59293800254177113392009-08-29T12:19:00.002-04:002009-08-29T12:23:19.825-04:00Judd Apatow Talks on ‘Anchorman’ Part Two<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPyxQR08m6f9UzaIggnMB9DH04gysTh-PU7lhoEG4Sl-aV4m0MgqalhDbg7TLUqaY5bDVdIirg0Mmben3ePFO5vzotDyzxEmb7-8vhXzniG-UwLhohzxaQGUMsFoeRKQ1R8qrdylfhcf8/s1600-h/anchorman-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 347px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPyxQR08m6f9UzaIggnMB9DH04gysTh-PU7lhoEG4Sl-aV4m0MgqalhDbg7TLUqaY5bDVdIirg0Mmben3ePFO5vzotDyzxEmb7-8vhXzniG-UwLhohzxaQGUMsFoeRKQ1R8qrdylfhcf8/s320/anchorman-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375422026547622738" border="0" /></a><br /><span xmlns="" style="font-size:130%;"><p>I like to believe that <em>Heavy Weights</em> was where Judd Apatow got his official start in the comedy business. The next landmark was <em>The Cable Guy</em> followed by <em>Freaks and Geeks</em>, however <em>Anchorman</em> was where Adam McKay and Will Ferrell along with Apatow were all launched to huge fame. They still may have been unknowns, but that movie started a chain of great flicks by the two that are now modern classics. Think about it: without <em>Anchorman</em>, there would never have been a <em>40-Year-Old Virgin</em>, <em>Forgetting Sarah Marshall</em> or a <em>Step Brothers</em>. John C. Reilly would probably never have made another funny movie and critics wouldn't have a reason to forgive Steve Carell for <em>Evan Almighty</em>.So when the <em>Anchorman</em> sequel was announced, I was sort of bummed. McKay and Apatow don't do sequels; it's just their thing. Like, I couldn't even imagine a <em>Knocked Up</em><em> 2</em>. Although if McKay directs and co-writes with Ferrell, it could be pretty good. <a href="http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=25700"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=25700">Empire Online</a> basically held Judd Apatow to the floor until he talked about the sequel, and they eventually got something out of him. "They're making a movie now, Will and Adam." Since that's all he said, he's either keeping the movie under wraps or he's not producing a sequel, since he didn't mention his name along with "Will and Adam's." That could be a possibility since his list of movies he's signed onto is so high. But come on; Judd Apatow <em>not</em> produce the <em>Anchorman</em> sequel? That's like John Lasseter not direct the follow-up to <em>Cars</em>. If something can't be done right, why even do it at all?</p></span>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15518859577815007259noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741374171933558106.post-24320591251143560622009-08-28T23:18:00.002-04:002009-08-28T23:20:34.332-04:00Three Added Posters for ‘2012’<span style="font-size:130%;">Roland Emmerich is an all-right director. He directed <em>Godzilla</em>, <em>The Day After Tomorrow</em> and <em>10,000 BC</em>, all great time killers. You may say "these movies suck!" but think about this: at least he's not Michael Bay. And <em>2012</em> doesn't look <em>as</em> bad as <em>Transformers</em>. Still, <em>2012</em> looks super-similar to <em>Knowing</em>, which was similar to <em>Day After Tomorrow</em> which was similar to <em>Armageddon</em>.

I was never a fan of "hardcore rock" or "metal". I'll admit to enjoying his reboot of <em>Halloween</em> in 2007 a lot, considering I had such low expectations of it and I'm eager to check out <em>Halloween II</em> this weekend. Now apparently he's remaking 1958's <em>The Blob</em>, although without the title character. He told <a href="http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118007857.html?categoryid=13&cs=1&nid=2562">Variety</a> "My intention is not to have a big red blobby thing - that's the first thing I want to change. That gigantic Jello-looking thing might have been scary to audiences in the 1950s, but people would laugh now."<br /></p><p>Zombie made John Carpenter turn over in his grave when Michael Myers the adult killer wasn't ever shown with his real mask in the first <em>Halloween</em> and even more since he recreates the mask in the sequel. So he has a controversial way of remaking movies. My suggestion to Rob Zombie is for him to try writing a original screenplay. I'm all for a <em>Blob</em> remake, however a true Rob Zombie movie could be killer.</p></span>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15518859577815007259noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741374171933558106.post-3892973546902824992009-08-28T14:34:00.002-04:002009-08-28T14:37:02.123-04:00Hilarious First Trailer and Poster for ‘The Men Who Stare At Goats’<span xmlns="" style="font-size:130%;"><p>This may be fall's sleeper hit. <em>The Men Who Stare At Goats</em> sounds so deliciously absurd, whether it be the title or the plot of a journalist who meets a man who says he was part of the U.S Army's First Earth Battalion, a squad of people with supernatural powers. In the trailer the man, Lyn Cassady, calls himself a "jedi." The lead role is played by George Clooney, a rare A-list actor who still makes great movies. I've always loved Kevin Spacey before I even knew who he was. Whenever he makes a bad flick, there's always a follow-up that blows me away making me once again realize how much of a phenomenal actor he really is. The rest of the cast is filled by Ewan McGregor, J.K Simmons and Jeff Bridges. The new trailer is hilarious, to sum it up in one word. The ending especially is funny, when Boston's "More Than a Feeling" is suddenly blasted.

I thought the first one was enjoyable, but certainly not as great as people (aka "tweens") are ranting. <em>New Moon</em> looks to be more of the same engrossing yet forgettable garbage. Here's a look at the "Volturi" vampires of <em>New Moon</em>, including Dakota Fanning and Michael Sheen's Jane and Aro. Check out Sheen; he looks like a zombie Ozzie Osbourne. Er, Ozzie Osbourne.

While everybody is now focused on health care reform and social security, Moore is hell-bent on this. Here's the first official poster for <em>Capitalism</em>, a movie that I hope will be hilarious.

He's all aboard to direct the movie version of Michael Crichton's novel <em>Pirates Latitude</em> about piracy in Jamaica in the 17<sup>th</sup> century. The book isn't even out yet (it's released in November), but like Ron Howard with Dan Brown's Robert Langdon series, he's already set to film it. Crichton is the guy who wrote <em>The Lost</em><br /> <em>World</em> and <em>Jurassic Park</em>, both of which Spielberg directed movie versions of the novels. So it comes as no surprise that he jumped at the opportunity to make this one. He's hired David Koepp, the screenwriter of both <em>Lost World</em> and <em>Jurassic</em>, to pen the script. Steven Spielberg's DreamWorks partner Stacey Snider said to <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2009-08-26-spielberg-crichton_N.htm">USA Today</a> that "Anything that Michael wrote, Steven would be keenly interested to read. But without Michael knowing it, or even me knowing it, it turns out Steven always wanted to direct his own pirate film."<br /></p><p>At this point with Spielberg, I want his Abraham Lincoln biopic already. I would be happy if he looked at his résumé and noticed the recent crap he's done and think about the future of his career over long and hard. The last <em>Indiana Jones</em> flick proved to me that both he and George Lucas are all washed up. I don't get as excited for either of their movies like I used to. But we'll see how this all plays out. Maybe William H. Macy or Jeff Goldblum will be strapping on an eye patch soon.</p></span>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15518859577815007259noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741374171933558106.post-22085934471871958392009-08-26T23:40:00.002-04:002009-08-26T23:43:23.660-04:00New Clip from ‘Zombieland’<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFD8_JuV2RRrIcFQf_qdxDmFqVaKAIbwUkqVU7BLF7s-RDBX1nRmS6C4K0_gd2HGDiGo4QM-I4BGhbr9M9mOk9bL5ILmiO7veCz_1regUuY3kXoCUgD609dSi6fRCAeLxb0AWQ3E7Y6fE/s1600-h/Zombieland.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 251px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFD8_JuV2RRrIcFQf_qdxDmFqVaKAIbwUkqVU7BLF7s-RDBX1nRmS6C4K0_gd2HGDiGo4QM-I4BGhbr9M9mOk9bL5ILmiO7veCz_1regUuY3kXoCUgD609dSi6fRCAeLxb0AWQ3E7Y6fE/s320/Zombieland.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374483962396570114" border="0" /></a><br /><span xmlns="" style="font-size:130%;"><p><em>Zombieland</em> looks like this fall's <em>Shaun of the Dead</em>.

He's been my idol forever. Every movie he's directed (<em>Revolutionary Road</em>, <em>American Beauty</em> among many others) has been magnificent. Now, according to <a href="http://www.slashfilm.com/2009/08/26/sam-mendes-teaming-with-christopher-hampton-for-netherland/">Slash Film</a>, he's recruited Christopher Hampton (<em>Chéri</em>) to scribe <em>Netherland</em>, his adaptation of the classic novel about an ex-pat Dutchman resident of New York who creates a cricket club among a group of immigrants after the fateful events on September 11<sup>th</sup>. The film rights are currently owned by Oprah Winfrey's Harpo films, long having tried to get Mendes to direct it. Within the past few days, he's finally agreed to.<br /></p><p>Hampton has done some pretty great works in his career. Anything Mendes does is gold and teaming with Hampton is a great idea. This will probably be the best sports movie in the recent years. However anything could top <em>Invincible</em>. </p></span>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15518859577815007259noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741374171933558106.post-30391924578411951882009-08-26T18:37:00.003-04:002009-08-26T18:40:23.896-04:00Second Trailer for ‘Armored’<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQOqRoC2eAZwQQKmopmC_l8RbmbeHziOAE2qYmtjCt2BA1MYlW4Y98c6j1JTwgx7UbET-aNpXfD7wW1mzR-BXYvNUeYwil9j4ZO3f_ttEgUgUdMq5MRGZi0-jMSE-Ck1pyA3ztmU0ETVw/s1600-h/45219_orig.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 331px; height: 141px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQOqRoC2eAZwQQKmopmC_l8RbmbeHziOAE2qYmtjCt2BA1MYlW4Y98c6j1JTwgx7UbET-aNpXfD7wW1mzR-BXYvNUeYwil9j4ZO3f_ttEgUgUdMq5MRGZi0-jMSE-Ck1pyA3ztmU0ETVw/s320/45219_orig.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374405724607688994" border="0" /></a><br /><span xmlns=""><p><span style="font-size:130%;">I never saw the first trailer for <em>Armored</em>, and it really doesn't matter. Nonetheless, here's the second trailer for <em>Armored</em>, a thriller about truck drivers who attempt to steal $42 million. It stars Matt Dillon and Laurence Fishburne with Nimród Antal (<em>Vacany</em>) directing off of newcomer James V. Simpson's screenplay. Check out the so-so trailer for <em>Armored</em> below from <a href="http://cinemablend.com/new/Second-Armored-Trailer-14534.html">Cinema Blend</a>.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Armered</span> starts December 4th in theaters.<br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><embed src="http://cdn.springboard.gorillanation.com/storage/xplayer/ci001.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" swliveconnect="true" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" flashvars="e=4bffc0037b3a3a49328d685cccfc7c21cc002973d57a44951a38fddf065f5c696a66be9b89ee2d2f0947d4e15d253124c7d296b9a2a5d695fdd446d15f64f11765e48a3169f68730fac0de081d8962a02723d09accafe3f4ff222b&width=518&height=457&pid=ci001&autostart=false&allowscriptaccess=always&usefullscreen=true&esnapshot=4bffc0037b3a3a493b90685cccfc7c21cc002973d57a44951a38fddf065f5c696a66be9b89ee2d2f094ccde2702233248cc2a0b6a3bed699f2d44c9a1869fa1f32b8d76936b6c068b683c70c0a897ba326798fcd&trueurl=http://cinemablend.com/new/Second-Armored-Trailer-14534.htmlembed_code_lightbox/index/39/single/78063/ci015/10/410/306/1/false/source/http:%2G%2Gcinemablend.com%2Gnew%2GSecond-Armored-Trailer-14534.html" width="518" height="457"></embed><br /></p></span>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15518859577815007259noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741374171933558106.post-55859976354028852622009-08-26T15:52:00.002-04:002009-08-26T15:54:38.017-04:00‘Soul Train’ Becoming a Movie?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs1OazfmX5tgEh9U9N8WzUFGKRilmcok6qu5Bq6RinWVK0NDRpz7b39HbY7AuX4EyBfZZgGUMhBhvq-HLyu7v3JcrrhAi_W0MMK5t3bJPdusIgt3VCBhyC36fagO1onTDuJxj8lH7l0AM/s1600-h/Soul_Train_9.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs1OazfmX5tgEh9U9N8WzUFGKRilmcok6qu5Bq6RinWVK0NDRpz7b39HbY7AuX4EyBfZZgGUMhBhvq-HLyu7v3JcrrhAi_W0MMK5t3bJPdusIgt3VCBhyC36fagO1onTDuJxj8lH7l0AM/s320/Soul_Train_9.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374363204975382754" border="0" /></a><br /><span xmlns="" style="font-size:130%;"><p>Oh, <em>nice!</em> They've remade so many old TV shows into movies (<em>Get Smart</em>, <em>Dukes of Hazzard</em>, <em>Alvin and the Chipmunks</em>), why not make one of <em>Soul Train</em>? You know, that dance show hosted by Don Cornelius? Yeah. <a href="http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118007714.html?categoryid=13&cs=1">Variety</a> says that Warner Bros. expects to cash in on this, penning Malcolm Spellman to write the screenplay. I don't know how audiences will react to this. <em>Land of the Lost</em> in June, also based on an old television program, bombed and left room for the totally original <em>The Hangover</em> to stay number one at the box office two weeks in a row. Of course I know nothing of the <em>Soul Train</em> show since it was <em>way</em> before my time; however I know a dumb idea when I see one. Remaking this would be like doing a movie about <em>American Idol</em> or <em>America's Got Talent</em>: how? I guess that's what I'd like to know. Spellman wrote a <em>Sopranos </em>video game and is currently scribing a sequel to <em>Johnson Family Vacation</em> (sweet Jesus, no) and the <em>Soul Train</em> movie isn't a good place to start in the Hollywood business if you want to be respected. But money-wise, business is booming.</p></span>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15518859577815007259noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741374171933558106.post-10914918294177095582009-08-26T00:25:00.002-04:002009-08-26T00:28:20.405-04:00‘The Dark Knight’ Follow-Up Being Filmed Exclusively in IMAX<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE0fLYm-3eW3WwYNs69AG4mCCyiMh1EUQbbngDr5qW6zOV1FOfhZ5QkajxD_GGmySKqiIDNBOfTSyiM7JEzbIgZy0e-bvjFk3YF1SIiRWaksNPtW1adR0QaWucOftzVVN-kIwf1gCUgpw/s1600-h/batman-dark-knight-motorcycle.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE0fLYm-3eW3WwYNs69AG4mCCyiMh1EUQbbngDr5qW6zOV1FOfhZ5QkajxD_GGmySKqiIDNBOfTSyiM7JEzbIgZy0e-bvjFk3YF1SIiRWaksNPtW1adR0QaWucOftzVVN-kIwf1gCUgpw/s320/batman-dark-knight-motorcycle.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374124363314551330" border="0" /></a><br /><span xmlns="" style="font-size:130%;"><p>I've seen only two films in IMAX my entire life, both of them limited release documentaries. (Exciting, right?) I will probably see <em>Avatar</em> in IMAX 3D since that's pretty much the only way to see it. I heard that <em>The Dark Knight</em> on that big of a screen was breathtaking, and I kick myself for not having caught it for myself. I may get another chance to see the caped crusader in that view, according to <a href="http://www.aintitcool.com/node/42153">AICN</a>. Apparently the follow-up to <em>Knight</em>, which is still being highly teased by not having a title since Christopher Nolan remains focused on <em>Inception</em>, will be filmed exclusively in IMAX.<br /></p><p>I don't believe that this is that great of an idea. What about the people who see it on a regular movie theater screen? It's no use for them that 'Batman 3' was taped only in IMAX. Limited showings of the movie in that version are a given, obviously. Not <em>exclusively</em>. Still, Chris Nolan is a genius who will no doubt make a tremendous sequel to <em>The Dark Knight</em>. I'm not denying that. </p></span>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15518859577815007259noreply@blogger.com0
