Watchmen lawsuit

So, the Watchmen lawsuit is continuing. This annoys me to no avail. I thought they solved this over a month ago when WB released the official movie release date. But apparently not. FOX still is complaining because they supposedly have the rights to Watchmen. So, here’s my take on it. Why is FOX waiting until NOW to start attacking Warner Brothers? Shouldn’t they have taken this up a year ago when the script was being written? It isn’t like Warner Brothers has been trying to keep this movie a secret. And now FOX is all “Yo, we got the rights to dat, foo’. So fork it over!” Dude, what? Here’s what I think is going on. FOX didn’t know how to pull off this movie, and now that they see how good Warner Brothers did, they’re pissed. Seeing as the movie is finished, all FOX has to do is win a lawsuit and release it and take all the money for themselves, right? Well, Warner Brothers doesn’t really seem to care. Fans really have waited too long for this movie and now, they have something that can make a lot of people happy. And that’s the point of movies. Not to make a ton of money. I’m proud of Warner Brother’s choice to keep the Watchmen release date the same and not give in to FOX.  Fox needs to just cool it and try again with another movie if money is all that they are after.

Watchmen is set to be realsed in March of 2009. And hopefully, it will be released in March 2009. I’ll try to keep everyone updated with this.

In the mean time, be sure and hit the theaters this winter for some of these cool movies. We have Bride Wars opening in January and Coraline and He’s Just Not That Into You opening in February.  And make sure to avoid money wasters such as My Bloody Valentine and The Unborn.

Have a Happy New Years!

The Spirit review

Well, I quite enjoyed the new Frank Miller movie. It was a bit iffy at parts. I’d type an in depth review, but I have since pulled a muscle in my neck and am in great pain.

First off, I give this movie a B- . Yeah, I’m using the Yahoo ‘grade’ system for the sake of getting this over with.

Pros:

• Amazing acting on all parts
• Great dialog
• Great scenery and settings
• Great effects

Cons:

• Kind of too fast for the dumber audience
• I think the Lorelei part was half pointless and poorly done. Should have just made her a silhouette
• Jumped into the plot without hardly setting it up

So, it’s a cool movie. You should see it. I enjoyed it.

Merry Christmas!!

Hey guys! Merry Christmas! Hope you’re all fine and well. I got some movies for Christmas! Cloverfield and Indy 4, along with some books on the making of Indiana Jones. <33  Anyways, I forgot to write a review about Yes Man. But it was pretty good. It is well worth the money. I’d describe it as a combination of Dumb and Dumber and pornography. But well worth it. Haha. I’m going to try to hit the theaters tomorrow after all my after Christmas shopping to see The Spirit. I’m soooo pumped for it. Auuuh. Also hitting theaters is the new Tom Cruise garbage and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which looks pretty nice. Idk. Not my cup of tea honestly. Well, Merry Christmas!!

Seven Pounds (and how to lose them) SPOILER

So, being the movie addict I am, I have been watching the critics closely with Seven Pounds. It looked like another lame Will Smith movie. And guess what? It is just another lame Will Smith movie. The trailer made me want to throw my Men in Black DVDs in the trash because of how low Will Smith has dropped. So here’s my take on Seven Pounds.

It sucks. Don’t waste your money. Allow me to waste several minutes of your life so you won’t waste several hours and dollars of yours.

Will Smith is a pathetic, emo black man that pretends to be his brother to track down 7 random people that need some sort of transplant. He feels the need to do this because he cause a traffic accident that killed his fiance and 6 other random people. He feels all emo about it and after listening to several Fall Out Boy CDs, he climbs into a bath tub filled with ice and puts a jelly fish into it and kills himself and donates his organs to those 7 random people. And then the woman that got his heart falls in love with the man that got his eyes.

This is just a pathetic ridiculous story about a man that is too pathetic to try to get over tragedy and live his life and be happy for having a second chance. If he wanted to help people, he could have built a homeless shelter of something. But no, he takes the easy way out and offs himself. It’s just telling people that being emo and killing yourself can be justified if you donate your organs. Oh. Please. I’ve seen less drama on MySpace or on the SOAP network. You’ll only leave the theater crying because you could have spent the time you spent in the theater out shopping for Christmas gifts or picking up women or finding a cure for cancer.

Batman 3 news

Well, as I said it would be, Batman 3 has been confirmed, along with the hunting of 2 new villains (because 1 at a time just doesn’t cut it, apparently..). Basically, The Riddler has been confirmed, and rumours are flying around surrounding Cat Woman. Now, while rumours do tend to have some truth hanging out in there, I’m not sure the film scene is ready to revive Cat Woman from that awful Halle Berry movie. Poison Ivy should be considered. But that might overload the movie with green. There are also a few Penguin rumours, but the Penguin has never been that dynamic a character, imho, and I’m pretty sure they want something dynamic to attempt to top Ledger’s performance as The Joker.

I think Angelina Jolie is totally the wrong way to go for Cat Woman. And Depp would be a terrible, terrible Riddler. He’s not funny. He’s a ‘serious’ Gothic type actor. The Riddler is a crazy nutter. I think Jim Carrey is their best bet for that. And that maybe Uma Thurman could be a good Cat Woman. I can’t really think of any other woman to be her. Maybe Helena Bonham Carter.
