Movie News: Keanu Reeves is a samurai warrior in these character posters for 47 Ronin

5

Keanu Reeves plays in samurai warrior in 47 Ronin. Huh?

Yes, Reeves will be in a big-budget samurai film, and today we got a character poster of him and a few others via IGN. Reeves will be playing Kai in the film set in the 18th century and focusing on a band of samurai who are out to avenge the death of their master.

Rinko Kikuchi, who was recently seen in Pacific Rim, and Hiroyuki Sanada, who can be seen in The Wolverine, are also starring. 47 Ronin is Carl Rinsch’s directorial debut.

I know absolutely nothing about 47 Ronin, but I’m a fan of samurai films. And based on these posters (particularly the middle two), this could end up being pretty good. The Reeves’s casting is a bit weird though.

Movie News: Professor X and Magneto get posters for X-Men: Days of Future Past

X-Men: Days of Future Past has the potential to be something special.

We recently got two new character posters for Professor X and Magneto (via Entertainment Weekly), highlighting the time travel element that will bring together characters from the original X-Men trilogy along with the ones from First Class. The posters feature Patrick Stewart and James McAvoy as Professor X and Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender as Magneto.

I absolutely loved First Class, particularly the performance by Fassbender. It will be amazing to see both old and new come together for one film, and with the introduction of the Sentinels, Days of Future Past could be one of the best comic-book films ever made. Hopes are very high for this one.

Movie News: Star Trek 3 eyes new writing team

The third installment in the Star Trek series is eyeing a new writing team.

According to Badass Digest, the duo of Ashley Edward Miller and Zack Stentz are rumored to be writing Star Trek 3. They are known for writing Thor, helping out with X-Men: First Class and being writers and producers on Fringe.

If this is true, they will take over for Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci, who wrote the first two films and would still be on the writing team in some capacity. Official news should come soon as Paramount wants to get it out in time for Star Trek‘s 50th anniversary in 2016.

I greatly enjoyed the first two Star Trek films and thought the writing was fine, so it’ll be interesting to see how a change will affect that. The big question for me is whether J.J. Abrams will come back to direct or not. If Paramount wants Star Trek 3 out in 2016, that may be hard with Abrams still on-board to direct Star Wars: Episode VII. I’d like him to come back, but we’ll see.

Movie Poll: Will The Wolverine be better than Origins: Wolverine?

Well, to me this question is pretty obvious given the fact that X-Men Origins: Wolverine has to be the worst comic-book movie ever made, but I figured we’d still ask. There is no way that The Wolverine will be worse but some people really love this character and might of loved the last Wolverine movie. So that being said, here are a couple of options other than just Yes or No. What do you think? Will The Wolverine be better than X-Men Origins: Wolverine and if so, by how much?

Movie Trailer: Veronica Mars footage debuts at Comic-Con

0

Well after being crowd-funded for almost $6 Million, the first footage is finally here after being debuted last week at Comic-Con. The movie is set 10 years after Veronica leaves Neptune High.

In the trailer where see a Jamie Lee Curtis cameo, a Neptune High reunion and even some indication that Veronica will wind close to Logan Echolls again, who is played by Jason Dohring.

Fair warning, there’s a bunch of behind the scenes footage and interviews that you’ll see before the actual teaser which is toward the end of the video. I know Nate will love this as will a ton of other people who enjoyed the show before.

Though an official release date for the film still hasn’t been given, Veronica Mars is set to hit theaters in early 2014.

Box Office Report: The Conjuring scares it way to the top

It appears that filmgoers wanted to be frightened over the weekend.

The Conjuring scared its way to the top spot at the box office over the weekend, opening with $41.5 million. The haunted-house thriller from Warner Bros. and James Wan is a true horror film, offering up plenty of thrills and chills. It’s the second horror film this year to debut strongly with The Purge opening with over $36 million last month.

After taking the top spot the last two weeks, Despicable Me 2 fell to second with $25 million. The animated film from Universal has grossed over $276 million.

The latest from DreamWorks Animation, Turbo, debuted with $21.5 million, good enough for third, and has earned $31 million since opening on Wednesday. The film revolves around a snail who through a freak accident gets the gift and speed and competes in the Indy 500 is ridiculous but a lot of fun.

Sony’s Grown Ups 2 earned $20 million to take fourth, while Summit Entertainment’s Red 2 rounded out the top five after opening with $18.5 million. The sequel involving retired CIA agents isn’t quite as good as the first but is still fun and features a great cast.

The fourth film opening over the weekend, Universal’s R.I.P.D., opened in seventh with a disappointing $12.76 million, making it this summer’s latest big-budget flop alongside Pacific Rim, After Earth, The Lone Ranger and White House Down.

The biggest opening this weekend is The Wolverine starring Hugh Jackman. This film, which will hopefully be better than that other Wolverine piece of crap, should easily claim the top spot.

Movie Trailer: The revolution continues in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is almost here!

We recently got a new trailer for the film based on the second book of the trilogy and it’s much better than the first trailer. The revolution is coming to the forefront in Catching Fire, possibly my least favorite book of the series. But I greatly enjoyed the first film and am looking forward to this one.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire comes out on November 22.

Movie News: Avengers: Age of Ultron is coming in 2015

aou2013001gold

The Avengers sequel now has an official title.

Writer/director Joss Whedon revealed at Comic-Con on Saturday that The Avengers sequels will officially be titled Avengers: Age of Ultron. It will be based on Brian Michael Bendis’s recent Age of Ultron comic series.

So who is Ultron and what will he be up to? That’s a good question but here’s what I’ve gathered so far: Ultron is an artificial intelligence created by Avenger Henry Pym, AKA Ant-Man, that was initially created for good before it turns – like most AI eventually do – and decides all humanity must perish.

The storyline also deals with time travel with Wolverine and Spider-Man playing significant roles. Obviously, this may be too complicated for one film and Marvel Studios doesn’t currently have the rights to put Wolverine and Spider-Man on the big screen, so they’ll likely not be featured.

So that’s kind of where The Avengers sequel is headed next (with Thanos apparently being held until later) and that honestly sounds amazing. But it will be hard to top the first film, which somehow and someway actually turned out to be incredible.

Age of Ultron is expected to hit theaters on May 1, 2015.

Movie Review: Red 2 is a fun film with a great cast


Director: Dean Parisot
Writers: Jon Hoeber, Erich Hoeber
Stars: Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Helen Mirrin, Mary Louise Parker, Anthony Hopkins, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Byung Hee Lee

Synopsis: Retired C.I.A. agent Frank Moses reunites his unlikely team of elite operatives for a global quest to track down a missing portable nuclear device.

[/info]

DIRECTION
It’s usually a scary thing when a sequel gets a different director than the original movie; but here, Dean Parisot did extremely well filling the shoes of Robert Schwentke. Then again, when you have the talents of John Malkovich, Anthony Hopkins, and the incredible Helen Mirren, along with a guy like Bruce Willis who pretty much plays the same character in every movie he’s in, you can pretty much spend your time focusing on the other duties of a director rather than worrying about the performances you’re getting from your actors. Perhaps the biggest casualty in this movie is Mary Louise Parker, who really could have benefited from better direction. While I immensely enjoyed this film, I have to admit that even though he came really close to matching the charm of the first movie, he didn’t quite get there. Take, for example, the shot from the first movie where Bruce Willis simply steps out of a spinning car. It was shot flawlessly. In this movie, there was a reverse of that shot where Bruce simply stepped into a spinning car. It just didn’t have the same pazazz as in the first film. About ¾ of the way through the movie, it’s almost as if Parisot forgot he was making a quirky graphic novel movie as the movie shifted it’s focus from the exploits of old RED agents, and turned into a full on action thriller.

Grade: B+

SCRIPT
The Hoeber brothers, who also wrote the first movie, did a fantastic job writing this movie as well. They wrote this sequel exactly as a sequel should be written- they kept what worked from the first movie, expanded the world established in the first film, introduced interesting new characters, and took risks with existing characters. In this movie, we see Frank Moses (Willis) in the next phase of his relationship with Sarah Ross (Parker). It was fun to see this relationship progress as Sarah doesn’t want to just be the girl who gets sent to the safe house while Frank gets to have all the fun, but rather she wants to jump in and be part of the action, and suffice it to say, she gets the chance. Marvin and Victoria were written flawlessly and funnier than the in the first. And with the addition of Anthony Hopkins as a mad scientist, Catherine Zeta-Jones as a Russian operative and Frank’s past love interest, new conflict abounds which just makes for a great story. I did think, however, the addition of Byung-Hun Lee’s character was a bit unnecessary given everything else going on; it would have almost been better to save him for the third movie. But regardless, his character was a great add to this universe. In the end, the Hoebers gave us characters the we care about, a mission that is meaningful to us, and told a good story in a fun way. It’s no wonder these films have attracted so many of Hollywood’s elite.

Grade: A-

PERFORMANCES
This is probably the area of the movie that is most inconsistent. What makes Bruce Willis Bruce Willis is that he’s always fun to watch in any role that has him blowing stuff up, shooting a gun, and throwing out quippy one-liners…you know, every movie he’s every been in. Mary Louise Parker had a much bigger role in this movie, and it suited the character well, but I think she could have used a bit more direction from director David Parisot. It was often hard to believe that she could fit into this world of Retired, Extremely Dangerous agents. She spent a good bit of the film in a love triangle with Bruce Willis’ and Catherine Zeta-Jones’ characters, and never felt like she should be able to hold Willis’ affections. Speaking of Zeta-Jones, her performance is probably the one I’m most disappointed with. I never really bought her character as a fast talking, Russian super agent. It came across like a child playing make believe in her big sister’s clothing and wigs. Byung Hun Lee, Neal McDonough, Brian Cox, and David Thewlis all turned in satisfying performances where you got the feeling they were having a lot of fun with this movie, but none stand out. However, it was John Malkovich, Anthony Hopkins, and the fabulous Helen Mirren who stole the show. Every scene they were in was lifted because of what they brought to the screen. The movie is worth it just to see these three playing these characters. And they are definitely the reason the grade on this section isn’t lower.

Grade: B+

SCORE
When it comes to action films, Alan Silvestri is a name any director would be glad to have composing his score. With other films under his belt like The Avengers, The A-Team, both GI Joe’s, and even the original Judge Dredd, Silvestri can write music for explosions in his sleep. However, in the end, it seemed like he kinda phoned this one in. The themes were good, but forgettable. In the end, it will be the soundtrack to this film that people remember, not the score.

Movie News: Batman to appear in Man of Steel sequel

Though Man of Steel may not have done as well as they intended it to be, the Los Angeles Times has reported that Warner Bros will announced today at the San Diego Comic Con that a sequel is in the works and that Batman, yes that Batman, will be in it. Which is pretty exciting.

The panel is set for 1:45 PM Eastern time so there isn’t a ton of information right now but here’s what we do know: Zack Snyder is coming back to direct, Davis S. Goyer will also write the screenplay, Henry Cavill will return as Superman and that Christian Bale is unlikely to come back as the masked crusader, Batman. We also know the movie is scheduled to be released in 2015.

While Man of Steel did do descent at the box office, I’m sure the numbers aren’t quite where they want them to be. Especially if Nolan is coming back to produce again, it only makes sense to use his Dark Knight elements in here. While that is unlikely, it would boost profits like crazy I’m sure.

Either way I think this is exciting and if done right, should hopefully raise box office numbers and a better critical response.

Nate loved it, so I’m sure he’s on board no matter what. Take a listen to both Nate and I’s review of Man of Steel on Episode 17 and it’ll make mores sense why I’d love to see this happen.

Movie Trailer: Vin Diesel returns as Riddick

You’re not afraid of the dark, are you?

We recently got the red-band trailer for Riddick, the third film starring Vin Diesel as the title character. The trailer debuted at Comic-Con.

I’m not the biggest fan of the series, having liked 2000’s Pitch Black and loathing 2004’s The Chronicles of Riddick. Riddick appears to be more along the lines of Pitch Black as that dark horror/thriller film. This doesn’t look good enough to check out in theaters, but it could be at least a rental.

Riddick opens in theaters in September 6.

Movie Trailer: Kick-Ass 2 is going to be awesome

My excitement for Kick-Ass 2 has just risen a notch or two.

Today, an extended (4-and-a-half minutes long) red-band trailer debuted at Comic-Con featuring lots of footage we’ve already seen and lots of footage we haven’t.

Kick-Ass may be my all-time favorite comic-book film and the sequel looks to kick everything up a notch or two. I particularly love the end of the trailer where Kick-Ass tells Hit-Girl that they’re like Batman and Robin with Hit-Girl giving a great response: “Robin wishes he was me.” Just fantastic!

Kick-Ass 2 fights its way into theaters on August 16.

Movie Review: The Conjuring is the scariest film of the year


Director: James Wan
Writers:  Chad Hayes, Carey Hayes
Stars: Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Lili Taylor, Ron Livingston

Synopsis: Paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren work to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in their farmhouse. Forced to confront a powerful entity, the Warrens find themselves caught in the most terrifying case of their lives.

[/info]

DIRECTION
James Wan is a horror genius. What Wan does with his imagry and camera work is nothing short of brilliant and it elevates this movie into a whole new level for this genre. While nothing here is original, it’s the execution that is flawless and what makes this horror film one of the best. In a movie that is rated R and has zero nudity, zero sex, zero gore, and little blood that can only mean one thing; it’s scary as s***. It’s the way Wan pieces all of the elements together perfectly that makes this film so good. The sound is incredible and it’s intentional which adds so much thrills that it will send chills up your body (the rhyming wasn’t intentional there). The ghosts in the film are not overused and the variety of how they are implemented in the film is great. The pacing of the film is spot on and you never get bored, yet you’re wanting it to be over at the same time. The way the story is weaved in and out of certain places with specific characters in interesting and thrilling all at the same time. It’s the little things though that make Wan so great at this. The camera zooming in on a crayon rolling on the floor by itself. Words on the screen telling you that this really happened and that these ghosts are real which psychologically messes with you throughout the experience. Every element has a purpose and when it adds up, you experience what could perhaps be the scariest movie of the year.

Grade: A+

[divider]

SCRIPT
The story is supposedly based off of real events, which in movies is always exaggerated obviously, but it is pretty terrifying regardless of how true it may be. The story centers around the Perron family of five who move in but are not aware of the house’s dark and deadly past. Haunted by several ghosts that reveal themselves to the family, one by one, the family starts to get to their edge. So they call upon two paranormal investigators, Ed and Lorraine Warren, who do this for a living. They are respected in their field and even speak at different colleges and events on their work. The film is actually from their perspective and how they saw these events as one of the worst they’ve ever encountered. There’s some really great family dynamics and I love how they played on those relationships. The story kind of gets cheesy toward the end and there are even elements that aren’t needed but they don’t take away from the film either. The characters are set up well except for the relationship between Mr. and Mrs. Perron which wasn’t explored much. However, you get enough of a sense that it’s not terribly distracting. Oh and have I mentioned that it’s frightening what happens to the family? The script goes into who the ghosts are, what they are doing and why all of this came to be which again, isn’t original but it sets up the story to be played out well.

Grade: A-

[divider]

PERFORMANCES
The performances are great. This genre can feel very cheesy and over the top in terms of performances if not done well. The three daughters are out of this world good for their age and what they are doing. Joey King, who we gave a hard time on for her performance in White House Down, is incredible here. Her and Mackenzie Foy pull of scared really well. While a lot of the screams are off camera, they still add chills and are done really well. And the one’s on camera…well let’s just say not a lot people can do it well. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson have some great chemistry and did a fantastic job as the Warrens. Ron Livingston was also good although his character mostly was just doing stereotypical dad stuff chasing after his family who are being paraded around by demons. Lili Taylor is also descent but you can’t discuss her much without spoilers but I will say she does a good job. Like I mentioned, it’s a little cheesy toward the end but it’s the performances that are magnificent that helps this movie jump to another level since this isn’t that original.

Grade: A-

[divider]

SCORE
Joseph Bishara knows horror and does it really well. Most horror scores are filler and stereotypical for the most part. A lot them just use a lot of strings and it’s something you’ve heard a lot of before. And while there is some of that here, it adds a lot to the movie. Wan uses the score fantastically and it’s used with a ton of purpose. Most horror films try to do this but it’s usually just used to fill cheap jump scares. This score is more than that. But to give credit where credit is due, the main theme used in the movie is very good and that was done by Mark Isham. If you’re not familiar with his work, you need to be. Either way, good stuff here.

Movie Trailer: Idris Elba shines in Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom

If you don’t know the name Idris Elba, you soon will.

We recently got the first trailer for Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, starring Elba as Nelson Mandela. Elba, who was badass in Pacific Rim, is an amazing actor who really hasn’t gotten a chance to be in a starring role – that’s about the change.

The trailer for Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom is fantastic and Elba seems to be giving an Oscar-worthy performance. I definitely can’t wait to check this out.

Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom opens on November 29.

Movie News: Shailene Woodley reveals why MJ was cut from The Amazing Spider-Man 2

0

Shailene Woodley won’t be appearing as Mary Jane Watson in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

That, we already knew, as director Marc Webb said last month her few scenes were cut to help streamline the story. And, now, we know that is exactly the case as Woodley confirmed that in an interview with Movies.com.

The most interesting aspect of the whole interview to me is the part where Woodley says The Amazing Spider-Man 2 “is the best script I’ve ever read.” She is still new to the business, so she probably hasn’t read many scripts, but that’s still saying a lot.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 swings into theaters on May 2, 2014.

Movie News: The Sentinels are coming to X-Men: Days of Future Past

0

The Sentinels are here!

Today, we got our first glimpse of the purple robots the X-Men will be going up against in X-Men: Days of Future Past, Bryan Singer’s sequel to 2011’s X-Men: First Class. The photos, taken at Comic-Con, come courtesy of /Film and IGN.

As a HUGE fan of Matthew Vaughn’s First Class, I’m super pumped for Days of Future Past. Bringing together the First Class characters along with their older selves from the original X-Men trilogy should already make for an exciting film, but then you add in the Sentinels, which were briefly teased in X-Men: The Last Stand, and we could be in for something special.

I really like the look of the Sentinels, although I hope they’re much bigger like in the comics and they get the faceplate like we’re used to. And making matters even cooler is that Peter Dinklage will be playing their creator, Bolivar Trask.

Movie Review: Turbo is ridiculous but a lot of fun still


Director: David Soren
Writers:  Darren Lemke (screenplay), Robert D. Siegel (screenplay)
Stars: Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti, Samuel L. Jackson, Snoop Dogg, Michael Peña

Synopsis: A freak accident might just help an everyday garden snail achieve his biggest dream: winning the Indy 500.

[/info]

DIRECTION
David Soren surprised me with what he did in Turbo and there’s one big reason it worked for the most part; they didn’t take it too seriously. This movie has a ridiculous premise, they knew it and they played it off of that. Soren doesn’t do anything original but he uses certain camera movements and slow motion tricks to make certain moments appealing and he uses them to bring out the silliness of the movie. He uses his voice actors well and his musical choices were genius, especially with the way he mixes certain elements. Soren takes a pretty generic script and brings it to life with vibrant colors, amazing music, fun voices and amazing visual elements.

Grade: B+

[divider]

SCRIPT
The story is a cheesy, ridiculous premise that has amazing themes and story arches built within to make it charming and a lot of fun. The story is of a snail that gets crazy powers and can go fast and he has dreams of racing in the Indy 500. Wow, that’s kind of insane on the surface. But within the story are these amazing themes of family dynamics and why it’s important for family to support you and how much it hurts when that doesn’t happen. There are incredible parallels between the snail characters and the human characters that aren’t 100% necessary but it does make it more human and easier to connect with. And while the story is crazy on the surface, it’s a great analogy for dreaming big and chasing your dreams no matter where you come from or what you’re background is. Or if you’re a snail. The human characters are stereotypical and can come off a little offensive in some ways. Overall though, the story is average and crazy on the surface but the characters are interesting and brought to life with amazing relationship dynamics.

Grade: B+

[divider]

PERFORMANCES
The voice acting in this film is pretty great and while some of the characters were written pretty stereotypically, I thought characters were still a lot of fun and charming to watch. Ryan Reynolds should perhaps do more voice acting because this is much better than lots of his live action films. Michael Peña is also great and while his character is a bit cheesy, he does a great job. The stand outs in this film though are the snail characters which are hilarious and a ton of fun. Samuel L. Jackson is always amazing and will make any movie more entertaining. Snoop Dogg brings his hip hop nature into his character and he plays off his own stereotypes and of course, his own dialogue which was pretty funny. Despite some character flaws due to writing, the actors did a great job.

Grade: A-

[divider]

SCORE
Henry Jackman is quickly becoming one of the best composers in film today and his score here again is incredible. It’s easy to be in the background because the soundtrack music is so amazing, but his score is great and is worth listening to outside of the film. You need to pay attention to Henry Jackman. The soundtrack music, however, is one of the best of the whole year and is a ton of fun. When our hero shows up in Indianapolis for the first time, a video that one character snaps goes online and goes viral all over the internet. And like many times on YouTube, they do a re-mix song to the video which was hysterical and really fun to listen to. In another part of the movie, there’s a hip hop remix to the song Eye of the Tiger that is sure to get you pumped up. And of course, we get a great original song from Snoop Dogg, which may be the only clean song I’ve ever heard from him. There’s plenty more and it only gets better to add on to the amazing score from Jackman making Turbo one of the better movies this year when it comes to this element.
