-TYLER PERRY'S THE FAMILY THAT PREYS

I actually did go see the new Tyler Perry movie and since I have not done a review in a while, I'm doing one now. While this movie might not have been as good as other summer movies I saw this year, it was still an enjoyable movie to sit down and watch. The whole movie has a complex storyline but in a nutshell...it is about three families and it gives good example on why(SPOILER) you should NOT cheat on your husband and expect him to leave his wife for you. Yep, the actor that played the husband did a really good job showing how mad he was when he found out his wife cheated on him. Especially when he hit her and knocked her behind a counter. For the record, no,this movie is defiantly not a chick flick. I give it a 7 out of 10.

-Get this...Tobe Maguire is getting paid fifty million dollars to reprise his role as Peter Parker/Spider Man in the next two Spider Man movies. What a deal(I'd like to make that kind of money when I'm older).

-IF YOU DO NOT WANT T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IN THE NEXT HARRY POTTER MOVIE DON'T READ THIS! Well...one of the guys that run the website titled Mugglenet.com, a big Harry Potter website, was invited to a screening of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince(HBP). Crazy I know because the movie doesn't come out for almost another year. Well, he gave a review on the movie ad I'm about to share some things he said. The spoilers are very minimum in this post. For starters, he said that all the actors did a very good job with the movie and he liked how they included many things from the book. HOWEVER...what he also said is that two BIG scenes were cut from the movie. The two scenes were...The battle a Hogwarts and Dumbledor's funeral. OK, who else thinks its crazy to cut the climax of the movie? How are they going t work Dumbledor's death into the end? Also, Dumbledor's funeral is a very emotional and important part of the series.It should be in the movie. They also added to battle scenes to the movie so maybe that will make up for the cut ones. Oh well...it will still be a very good movie I'm sure. Can't wait to see it.

The Week of September 12th

-For the record, this past weekend was the worst box office in 5 years...HOLY CRAP. Every movie this weekend gained less than 7 million including Dark Knight.
-BIG NEWS THIS WEEK!!! Director Sam Rami( known for the Spider-Man franchise) and actor Toby Maguire(the guy who plays Spider-Man) have both signed on for Spider Man 4 and 5. Awesome I know...it seems that the two new movies will be filmed together which probably means that the 4th will end with a cliffhanger. The villain(s) have not been announced yet but possibilities include Lizard, Scorpion, or the Spider Slayers, a group of robots controlled by J. Jonah Jameson.
-Other Marvel news includes the fact that Nicholas Cage said another Ghost Rider is in the works. He said that the character will go to Europe in the new film(which will fit with the Catholic Church essence). For those of you who aren't familiar to Ghost Rider...he's a man that basically works for the devil. He rides around at night on a fiery motorcycle with demonized powers and the face of a skull.

What happened to Harvey Dent?

Dark Knight left the audience with many questions. One of them was, "Is Harvey Dent dead or alive?" Well, Aaron Eckhart was in an interview earlier this week where he answered the question with two words..."He's dead". He said that he asked Christopher Nolan is he would be coming back in the third and he said the there was no chance. This was disappointing for me to hear because I think that Two-Face should have been more involved in the movies...guess not.

The Week of September 5th

ALRIGHT SCHOOLS STARTED!! Too bad I've already lost my interest in it. Did I mention that Tropic Thunder has claimed 1st place on the box office again? Yeah, conquering a number of new movies this weekend including Babylon AD which came in second. Dark Knight came in third picking up 8 million.
-Johhny Depp has claimed that he is not yet casted to play the Riddler. That is something I'm dissapointed to hear because I think he would be great. Oh well, he still said that he would love to play the role so hopefilly Christpher Nolan will hear that and consider him fo the role.
-20th Century Fox has been in a lawsuit with Fox over the rights to the new hoghly anticipated comic book movie opening in 2009, Watchmen. Fox claims that the have the rights to the project. This of cousre will cause the new movie to be delayed. Once again a highly aniticipated movie is being pushed back. Haven't heard of Watchmen? The trailer can be seen at the bottom of the home page.

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?
