The week of August 29th

-Tropic Thunder has claimed the number one spot once again in the box office this past weekend. The House Bunny came in second, Death Race in third, and Dark Knight in fourth. The Dark Knight is still going strong picking up ten million last week.
-A few Batman movie updates have been released. The 62 year old actress and singer Cher is signed on to play Catwoman in the new Batman film. I guess Christopher Nolan doesn't plan for Catwoman to be the younger, love interest of Batman(I hope not). Johny Depp is joining her as the Riddler. I personally still want a Mr. Freeze that doesn't have a huge gun, doesn't look cheesy, and isn't played by Arnold Scawarzenegger. The third Batman is currently titled, The Caped Crusader.

Superman Being Rebooted...Again

Given the large success of Dark Knight, DC is going to largely increase their movies within the next five years. With Green Lantern, Justice League, and Superman in production it looks like their getting a good start. However, if you liked "Superman Returns", then you'll be sad to hear that the next Superman movie will be a reboot. It will be entirely different. If you're asking why would they do this, DC believes that the movie should be darker(being like the new Batman.) There's just on problem, SUPERMAN ISN'T DARK. He's the exact opposite of dark. I for one hope that this is just a little thought and that DC will not go through with this. What do you think?

The week of August 22nd

-It had to happen eventually and this weekend The Dark Knight was finally bumped to second place by Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder which I heard was hilarious(unfortunately I will not be allowed to see it.) Tropic Thunder gained 26 million. Batman gathered 16million and Clone Wars got 15 mill.
-To you Harry Potter fans who are also a fan of Twilight, you'll be happy to know that Twilight is taking Potter's place opening on November 21st.
-Sadly(on a personal note) I have to go back to school Wednesday. However, the posting consistency WILL stay the same on this site. Hopefully the site will gain much more popularity wen I tell Friends about it.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars

SINCE THIS IS STAR WARS I PROBABLY WILL NOT SPELL THE NAMES CORRECTLY!
First, I would like to dedicate this review to Drew Donovan for the many laughs we had when the dialogue in this movie got cheesy. This new chapter in the Star Wars saga was strictly an entertaining popcorn movie. The action scenes were fun to watch, the sound quality was very good, but the dialogue in this movie really got cheesy at certain parts(for the most part the cheesy line came from Anakin and his apprentice.) The only character who I thought had no crummy lines was Count Dukou. Another thing I didn't like is that the paragraphs at the beginning of each movie were replaced with another cheesy announcer voice. The original music wasn't in the movie either. Has George Lucas lost his mind? I give it a 5 out of 10. If your at the movies with your kids, take them to see this but if you don't go see Tropic Thunder.

Just When I Was Getting Excited About Harry Potter

For all of you who were excited about Harry Potter 6, I'm about to shatter your joy. It has been pushed back till next summer. That's right,July 17, 2009. I'm starting to get annoyed with all these push backs.

The week of August 15th

-Dark Knight has once again won the box office this past weekend beating out Pineapple Express and The Sisterhood of Traveling Pants. The Dark Knight has gained over 700 million worldwide.
-A boycott will be happening this week. A number of disability groups will boycott Tropic Thunder because they say it makes fun of the disabled. Apparently the word "retard" is repeated throughout the movie referring to a character named Simple Jack. In the movie, Simple Jack is a character Ben Stiller plays to try and win an oscar.
-Get this. Weeks ago at Comic Con, tow girls dressed up as X-Men characters, Magma, and Storm. Apparently they were trying to pull off a stunt in which magma would light her arm on fire and Storm would put it out with water. Well Magma did light her arm on fire but Storm didn't put it out! The fire worked its way up to her hair. So...Hugh Jackman(the guy who plays Wolverine), is watching all this. He runs up and uses the girl's cape to put out the fire. Talk about real life hero.
-Here's a little something I have this week for those of you who would like to post comments...what movie do the you think X-Men Origins:Wolverine(the spin off based on Hugh Jackman's character) will be with. Here are some options: Harry Potter, High School Musical 3, Punisher War Zone(another Marvel movie), Quantum of Solace(the new James Bond movie) or any other movie you can think of.

The Mummy 3

Alright, let's think of things we think of when we hear something about the Mummy movies. Guns firing in the air, traveling across the world, a fight between Brendan Fraser and Arnold Vosloo(The mummy in the first two), and brought in by the second movie, a war scene with mummies involved. Now that you've heard all that, you'll be happy to know that everything I just said is also in the Mummy 3(except for the fact the Brendan Fraser is fighting Jet Li.) Yetis, an older Alex O'Connell, and of course China are some of the new elements brought in by this new movie. I don't know why all the movie critics didn't like this movie. I not saying this Mummy is better than the first two, it's one and the same with them but that's still good in my opinion. The only problem I had with this movie is that the mummy had too many powers. It was a wonder he was killed. I would give this a 7 out of 10...go see it.

The week of August 8th

-The Dark Knight is still going strong picking up 43 million last weekend beating out the new mummy movie which I still have not seen. By the way if you get the chance go see Dark Knight in Imax it's amazing.
-Justice League(The DC comic characters teamed up) is back on the table for production. This has been an on and off thing so don't expect a movie for a couple of years. The Avengers movie will be so much better so I really don't care much about Justice League right now.
-For you Transformers fans who were sad to see Megatron get dumped into the ocean, you can throw away the tissues he's coming back. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR THE PLOT STOP READING. The villain in this movie is The Fallen, apparently it's a Satan equivalent to a Transformer. The Autobots need Magatron's help to fight this new robot.

If you haven't seen the trailers at the bottom of this page yet, get a look at them soon because I'm going to change them in honor of the August 15th movies.

I'm officially TICKED OFF

As seen in the title of this post yes I'm ticked. One of the movies I'm really looking forward to next year got pushed back. I'm talking about Prince of Persia(the movie adaption of a video game, one of the best) which was going to be released June 19th next year, but they pushed it back and entire year. Now it's May 28th, 2010. They already started filming and it got pushed back. What's the deal.
