HAROLD & KUMAR 3 BEGINS
This summer Kal Penn and John Cho will begin shooting A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas. And guess what.....it's going to be in 3D.

I am going to stop complaining about 3D because it clearly isn't going away. As for Harold & Kumar, I find them mildly entertaining. I mean I don't think fart jokes are funny anymore and apparently they still do, but I do love Neil Patrick Harris.

STEPHEN DORFF JOINS WAR OF GODS
Dorff is joining Henry Cavill, Freida Pinto, Mickey Rourke and Kellan Lutz in War of Gods. The story is about the young warrior Theseus, who leads his men into battle with the immortal Greek gods to defeat evil elder gods of the Titans in order to save mankind.

I have always been a Dorff fan, but he can never seem to catch a good break. I think he should consider doing a television show on FX or something because the guy has talent.

BAYWATCH IS COMING TO THE BIG SCREEN
Two writers have just been hired to pen a big screen version of Baywatch. The movie is apparently aiming to have female driven action much like Charlie's Angels.

I have no hope left for Hollywood these days. It seems everytime I do one of my headline articles I'm sitting at the computer shaking my head the whole time I'm writing about the stories. All I know is the Hoff better be in it at some point.

REMAKE NEWS

I'm just going to start a remake section due to all the horrible remakes being rolled out these days. So here is two horrible remakes being made.

FOX REBOOTING LOOK WHO'S TALKING
Fox has decided to make a remake of Look Who's Talking. I guess they can recast Kristie Alley and have her pregnant with quintuplets and that way they won't have to waste money on make-up or effects for whoever plays the mom. BUT not only has Fox decided to remake this, but apparently they are going to go ahead and make the same movie twice and do a movie based of the E*Trade babies. Good lord.

PRIVATE BENJAMIN IS BEING REMADE
The 80's film starring Goldie Hawn is being remade and this time Anna Faris is going to be enlisting. The original film was about a spoiled woman how joined the Army after her husband dies during sex on their honeymoon night.

I have seen the original, and I wasn't impressed, but surprisingly enough it turns out that it received three Oscar nominations so what do I know? Wow, how is Faris getting so many roles???

INDEPENDENCE DAY 2 & 3

When talk begins regarding movies that are dearest to my heart, I start getting worried. I don't think there has ever been a movie I was more excited for than Independence Day. I remember first seeing the standee for it at Carmike Cinemas when I was in third grade and I was praying it would be PG-13 so I could see it. Then once the trailer came out I was hooked. I remember it was supposed to open July 4th, but they moved it up a day due to the hype. Me and my dad stood in a line wrapped around the theatre to see it and I was pissed because my sister decided to go see The Cable Guy instead of Independence Day....who does that?

Anyway, with as much money as it made, I am very surprised that they never made a sequel for it. There has been talk every couple of years about it, but nothing ever comes of it. But now Roland Emmerich has said that he has two sequels written out for it and today there are rumors that Will Smith has signed on for both of them.

Growing up I was always conflicted as to whether or not I wanted a sequel. It is an awesome stand alone film and I really don't want anything taken away from it with a crappy sequel. But then again, if the sequel is as good as the first then why not?

My problem is Roland Emmerich. The guy started off with some pretty good movies, Universal Soldier, Stargate and Independence Day were all good. Then we have Godzilla, The Day After Tomorrow, 10,000 B.C. and 2012 which were all very average movies AT best. The only other film he has done that I liked since Independence Day is The Patriot.

So what can they do to make these sequels a hit?











First you have to bring back the cast. When I watch this film, sure I love the alien side of it and the action, but what makes the movie is the characters. Not just Smith, Goldblum, and Pullman but Robert Loggia who played General William Grey, Judd Hirsch who played Julius aka Goldblum's dad (one of my favorite characters), Margaret Colin who played Constance aka Goldblum's ex wife and especially Adam Baldwin who played Major Mitchell. You need to try and get them all back on board and trust me besides Adam Baldwin, none of them are very busy. I'm not really worried about Vivica A. Fox because I wasn't crazy about her character, but we can bring her back anyway. The cast is where I do put faith in these possible sequels, because it seems Emmerich likes big casts in his films. In all of his movies there are always lots of characters, each normally having their own storyline....which sometimes is not such a good thing.

Secondly, the story has to be right. The two things I have kept hearing over the past fourteen years is that they are either going to take the fight to the alien planet or their will simply be a second wave. Now with them doing these films back to back, it could very easily start with a second wave and then end with the third film heading to the alien planet.

They have a lot of story potential with these sequels so here are some of my personal ideas for the sequels. When the first one ended, there were like a hundred crashed ships on the planet and a lot of them were still pretty intact, so they should have a ton of information on the alien technology and possibly their home world. This would cause me to make Area 51 a huge part of the films. I would have it relocated in the mountains of Utah somewhere, and just make it a massive base. Instead of three bodies, they now have around fifty intact and pieces of hundreds of other bodies. Instead of one hangar with one ship, they now have tons of hangars with big ships, little ships and hybrid ships. I would put Goldblum as the new head of Area 51 and I would put Smith as the head of an Area 51 military group, which would open up some roles for some cool new characters kinda like the marines from Aliens. I think there is a lot of story potential with Pullman's role. Fourteen years have passed which doesn't mean that is when the story should necessarily pick up, but I would have a new President in the film and maybe make it ten years later. I like the idea of a second wave coming to take revenge on Earth for destroying them all the first go around, and when this happens, the new President makes some bad decisions and then everyone turns to Pullman to take over making decisions. Or maybe make him the head of NATO now where he makes decisions for multiple countries. Like I said, there are a couple of different ways to go with his character.










With all the alien technology they have now, that can open the door for some really cool stuff in the film. In the first film, they had jet fighters. Now they can have some kind of alien ship/jet hybrid. They could also have some advancements in weaponry. But on the flip side, I would have the aliens have some cooler stuff in this one as well. In the first film, when Smith and Goldblum enter the mothership, one of my favorite scenes was how they teased us with an invasion. You saw all those aliens lined up, ready to go, but was stopped before they could invade Earth. I want to see that in the sequel. I want the aliens loose on the planet fighting at least in a few scenes, but that could be tricky. You can't go and change the look of the aliens from the way they looked in the first film, but it would be hard to have them just running around because of the way they were designed. But maybe you could have a new breed of aliens in this one to where you have the old kind and the new kind. If you remember, the aliens were in suits, so they could very easily have a few different kinds of suits and it be believable to the viewer.

I'm not sure how you could do that story alone for two films, so it looks like they would take the fight to them at their planet for the third film. That is where the story would get too complicated for me. I mean you could probably get away with saying that a way was discovered using their technology to travel at the speed of light so you could get to the planet easier and quicker and there is a tracking beacon on all the ships so they know how to get there, but I can't picture a cool looking alien planet. I mean they are obviously intelligent lifeforms so there should be cities and things of that nature in my opinion. I just can't imagine Smith and Goldblum running around an alien planet.

Bottom line is this. If Goldblum isn't back on board, I wouldn't do it. I don't think the fans really care about Smith's character alone. I realize they would bring in new characters if this were the case, but I don't think anyone would be nearly as interested.

If this all turns out to be rumors and sequels never happen, I would be fine and never lose sleep over it. But I have a feeling that the sequels are eventually coming. These two films could be epic films, but they have a better chance of being a disaster. Either way, I'll be there opening day. So any ideas of what to do with these films? Comment me and let me know.

MOVIE REVEIW: REPO MEN

In my opinion there are several different categories when describing the quality of a movie. There are great movies and horrible movies, there are movies that are as I call them good one time watches like The Road. It was a fantastic movie, but nothing I would really want to watch again. Then you have one of my favorite categories, the awesomely bad movie. An awesomely bad movie is neither good or bad. It is a movie that despite the fact that it may not have the best story, or it is a little far fetched, it keeps you highly entertained. Some examples are Starship Troopers, Snakes On A Plane and Armageddon. Some of the stories are completely unbelievable, some of the acting was bad, but boy were they entertaining. And if you stop and think about it, not all movies have to be believable, they are stories just like books. I'm not making excuses for bad films, but I am a fan of the awesomely bad movies. For the most part, Repo Men was an awesomely bad movie. It is a mix between Minority Report and The Island, a good film and a bad film.

In the future, if you liver goes out, no problem. You can get an artificial one for a monthly fee that will fit your style of living. But much like you house and car....if you can't make the payments, someone will come to reposes it. That is what Jude Law and Forrest Whitaker's characters do in this film. Remy (Law) and Jake (Whitaker) are the best when it comes retrieving organs with owners that have past due payments. When Remy is electrocuted by a faulty defibrillator, he has to get an artificial heart to survive. After a few months, Remy starts falling behind on his payments and soon he becomes the very person he use to hunt down. Remy is forced to go on the run and Jake is forced to decide if he will stay loyal to his friend or job.

The first part of this movie starts out entertaining enough. Remy and Jake are going around repossessing organs, the movie is moving along at a pretty good pace. Then once Remy has the artificial heart put in,the film just comes to a halt for about forty minutes. The story then focuses on Remy and his struggles with returning to the Repo team after the accident, struggling to make payments and his family issues. I realize that you can't have two hours of just action, but they made this part of the film extremely boring and dull. The film finally picks back up after they have to go and try to reposes Remy's artificial heart.

What really hurts the film besides the middle part of the film are all the plot holes. Now obviously, this isn't a film that is supposed to have a lot of depth when it comes to the story, but they had some pretty big misses. One was his family. At first his wife is having him choose between her and their son, or his job. Then once he is on the run and his wife has kicked him out, he just picks up another girl who is late on payments and just hooks up with her without a thought about his wife. Secondly is Jake's character. When Remy is kicked out, Jake lets him move in with him, but yet when he starts falling behind, he never offers to lend him any money, but instead gets mad at him for having trouble doing his job. Plus, he has a a well paying job, nice car and a huge house. You think he would have been able to stay on top of he payments longer than he did.

There were some things I think the film was successful at. First was the action scenes. I was very impressed with the fight scenes in the film. Normally, a film like this has pretty weak action sequences and this one in my opinion delivered. The second was Forrest Whitaker's performance. When I first saw the trailer, I asked myself why in the world an Oscar winner with talent like Whitaker would take this role. But after watching the film, while I still think it was probably a dumb role choice for him, I think he did a good job at portraying Jake as the out of control, selfish best friend. And finally, the twist. I love a movie with a good twist at the end, and this had a good twist at the end. Now for some like myself, you can probably see the twist coming, but if you have no clue and and miss a certain part of the film or aren't paying attention, it will definitely catch you by surprise.

This film could have been better. I would have given it a three and a half, but the middle section and the plot holes really drug it down too much for me. I give it a two and a half.

HEADLINES

THE AVENGERS HAVE BEEN ASSEMBLED
Now that the Captain America casting rumors have finally come to an end with the casting of Chris Evans The Avengers can officially begin. I'm very optimistic about this film, and that is really all you can be. This could turn out to be the most awesome movie ever, or it could be a total disaster. I don't think that Chris Evans will make the best Captain America, but he is certainly a better choice then most of the people auditioning. But with Robert Downey Jr. and Edward Norton being on board it certainly makes me feel better. The verdict is still out on whether Chris Hemsworth is going to pan out as Thor, but I'm not to worried about Thor, I have faith in that crew. I'm concerned about Captain America. I want this to be awesome, and then hopefully DC will jump on a Justice League film. If they will pay the big bucks for the big names, I guarantee it will pay off five times more at the box office.

I'm hoping that Marvel can get together a shoot with everyone in the upcomming weeks. People are excited about this film and the sooner you start getting little shoots and things together the more hype the film is going to draw. I'm also hoping that we get a teaser trailer for Thor when Iron Man 2 is released this May. It has been filming for a while now and no pictures or information has been released on it's progress.



INTERESTING POSSIBLE DIRECTOR FOR MI:4
Brad Baird who is a fantastic animation director, is being considered to direct Mission Impossible 4. Baird directed The Incredibles and Ratatouille and the very underrated film The Iron Giant. This would be Baird's first live action film.

I certainly am a fan of Baird's work, but I'm not sure if I would want MI:4 to be his first tackle at a live action film. I really enjoyed the first and third films and have been looking forward to a fourth one for a while. But then again, it could be a great choice and he could knock it out of the park.

Zombieland's Ruben Fleisher is also being considered.



ANGELA BASSETT JOINS GREEN LANTERN
Bassett will be playing Dr. Amanda Waller, a government agent of the comic series. Waller appears in several different DC comics and it is rumored her role in Green Lantern will be to set up another DC comic film, The Suicide Squad.











TOM CRUISE TO PLAY A COWBOY???
Tom Cruise and Reese Witherspoon are eyeing a film titled Paper Wings. It is about a champion rodeo rider who falls for a country singer.

The story seems a little bland, but I'm up for anything Reese Witherspoon is doing. I think she is very gifted, but just doesn't do a lot of films. As for Cruise as a cowboy....I like Cruise even if he is nuts, but I'm not sure if cowboy is for him.



BUCK ROGERS COMING BACK TO THE BIG SCREEN
Paul W.S. Anderson is going to be bringing the classic character Buck Rogers to the big screen. Buck Rogers was a former United States Army Air Corps officer who fell into a coma after exposure to a leaking gas after being trapped in a mine. He later awakens in the 25th century. Together with his new found friends, Wilma Deering and Dr. Huer, they battle against evil Mongol warlords who have taken over.

I have never seen or read anything about Buck Rogers, but I have always thought that if I was alive back when he was popular, it would probably have been something I would have been interested in. I'm looking forward to this project. I think that Anderson is really close to having an awesome film and this could be the one. Alien vs. Predator, Death Race, Resident Evil, Event Horizon and Mortal Kombat are all ok films that I think were close to being good films....yes, even Death Race was entertaining to me.

MOVIE REVIEW: THE BOUNTY HUNTER

When Jennifer Aniston first started making movies I thought she would end up being a huge star, and to a point, she kinda did. But I'm not talking about getting paid big bucks for each film you do, I'm talking about becoming a movie star, going to the Golden Globes and Oscars type star. But all she has given us is mind numbing romantic comedies after another. Does she make good movie for each film she does? Yes. Is she wasting her career with these type films? I believe so. I think she has the talent to give some powerful performances, I just have yet to see it.

Then we have Gerard Butler whose career has really taken off since he portrayed King Leonidas in 300. After watching that, I thought he wouldn't necessarily be a movie star like I thought Aniston would be, but I thought maybe he could be a pretty big action star. But since then he has been mainly romantic comedies and a few below average action flicks.

The two of them have come together for The Bounty Hunter, another romantic comedy with a little action sprinkled in for the guys. In the film, Aniston and Butler plays ex-spouses who are both having closure issues. When Butler's character Milo gets fired from the police department, he becomes a bounty hunter to try and pay off a secret gambling debt he owes. Meanwhile, Aniston's character Nichole has become a hot shot reporter who has recently been arrested for hitting a police horse with her car. When she fails to show up for court due to following a lead, Milo is given the task of bringing her in. While trying to get her turned in, they discover the story she is tracking is more than what it seems and both of their lives become in danger.

Unfortunately, there was not one moment of this film I enjoyed. There are only so many ways to do a romantic comedy and I think that everyone has come to accept that they are predictable. But it is still possible to make a good, predictable romantic comedy. There was so much missing from this film. The first was humor. I personally didn't find the trailer funny, but those who did pretty much saw all the "funny" scenes in the trailer.

A big thing for me when I go see a romantic comedy is charm. You have have to be able to care about the characters and be able to get attached to them for two hours. There was no charm to any of the characters in this film. In the end I was left careless to whether they got back as a couple, if they got out of the danger they were in, or if Aniston went to jail or not. I believe that is the main problem with this film because I could not wait for the credits to role.

About midway through the film, after I was positive I hated the film, I started trying to look at it from a woman's perspective to see if maybe I could see if there was anything in it they would enjoy. But after looking around at about twenty other people in the theatre, mostly women, it didn't seem like any of them were enjoying it either, and then I realized that no one else was even laughing.

The Bounty Hunter goes to show that even if you have big names in a film, that without a good writer and director it all means nothing. The Bounty Hunter to me is the worst film I have seen so far in 2010. I give it a one out of five.

TEN MOVIES THAT NEED REMAKING

With Hollywood all about the unnecessary remakes these days, I was thinking about what movies actually do need remaking. Now remaking a movie as we are learning isn't easy. You can't throw some actors from CW shows at it and expect it to be good. You need to invest some money into the writers first, the cast second and then pray you can find a decent director for it. If this was done more maybe we would get less crap. So here are some films I would like to see remade. Some have video with them, due to the format of my blog a little of the screen is cut off but you can get most of it.



PANDORUM
Ok, so I know I'm being a hypocrite because I have bashed some movies that have been remade so quickly, but this is a film that after I watched it, I thought "Man, that could have been an awesome movie under someone else's vision. The one that just came out was good, but it could have had franchise potential if it had been made better.




ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK
With today's technology, this franchise could be revisited and improved. Snake is a classic character who most people have never seen. Josh Holloway would be the perfect replacement to Kurt Russell. If the remake went well then maybe they could remake the horrible sequel they did next.



NIGHT OF THE CREEPS
This is one of my favorite 80's horror films. It could have one of the best opening sequences of all time. I'm not sure to this day if they are trying to be serious with the opening or is it supposed to be funny. Either way, I believe a remake could greatly improve the original. Check out the opening scene and decide for yourself what they were going for.





THEY LIVE
Another 80's classic in my opinion. Roddy Piper and Keith David star in the film where aliens have taken over and disguised themselves as humans. Only special glasses can tell them apart and a secret organization sets out to finally reveal the cover up. They Live also inspipred for you South Park fans the cripple fight between Timmy and Jimmy. I coulndn't find a good version of the South Park fight but here is the original.





HELLRAISER
This is possibly one of the most disturbing horror films I have ever seen. With all the horror remakes that have been rolling out, I'm surprised they haven't tried to tackle a truly horrific film.



THE TOWERING INFERNO
The original starring Paul Newman and Steve McQueen is kind of like Titanic in a building. When a huge skyscraper catches fire on it's opening night, it becomes a race to get out alive. I like disaster movies and if it could be more believable than a Roland Emmerich film and a little better than the Poseidon remake, I think it could be a pretty good flick.



GREMLINS
Come on, who wouldn't want a remake of the classic tale of the cute furry creatures who if fed after midnight , if given water, of if exposed to bright light multiply into vicious little creatures.



ROBOCOP
This has been in limbo for a while now with Darren Aronofsky attached to direct, but I'm not sure if he'll ever get it up and going. If he doesn't, I'm pretty confident that someone else will. This could be a really good new franchise with today's technology and a good cast. Now I don't want it being remade if they aren't going to keep the classic scene where the robot shoots the guy to pieces during the meeting. The director's cut version is one of the most graphic scenes I have seen. Here is the regular version of it.





WESTERNS
I'm not a classic western fan so I don't know anything about them, but I do like some of the westerns that are being made today. I really enjoyed 3:10 to Yuma and Tombstone of course, so I would like to see some more westerns coming out.



THE THING
The 80's film starring Kurt Russell has always been one of my favorite sci-fi films. This is the way sci-fi should be. It's suspensful, it doesn't have a huge, complicated plot and the graphics it had at the time were fantastic. A prequel is in the works right now, and I pray that it's a good companion piece to the original and if it is, hopefully they can get the remake right.

So what do you think, anything you want to see remade?

HEADLINES

TIM BURTON'S NEXT......ANOTHER REMAKE
Tim Burton will be turning The Addams Family into a stop motion picture....in 3D of course. The film will be based of the original comic strip instead of the classic television series or the 1990's films.

I'm really sick of this guy. Can he make something original? Let me guess, Johnny Depp will play the father Gomez and Helena Bonham Carter will play Morticia. I'm not a fan of the stop motion stuff and he is already doing a stop motion Frankenweenie movie which doesn't sound very appealing either.



OVERBOARD GETS A REMAKE
Jennifer Lopez will be starring in the remake to the 80's film Overboard starring Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn. The male role has not been cast yet.

I hate most things having to do with the 80's, but this is one of the films that I actually enjoyed from the 80's. I do not find it necessary to remake this film. I can already tell you that the male lead will be Gerard Butler, I guarantee it. What needs to happen is all of the writers in Hollywood need to be fired until we can find some people who want to do something different besides remaking every movie ever made. I mean I'm for some remakes, but Overboard, really?




KANE & LYNCH HAS IT'S LYNCH
Jamie Foxx has signed on to play Lynch for the video game adaptation.

I have never played this game, but Foxx looks nothing like Lynch, for starters he is black. I have no faith in video game adaptations anymore so I have no interest in this project. What I do have interest in is why Foxx doesn't get a better agent. The guy has a very good talent and he makes horrible film choices.



X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, X-MEN 4 AND WOLVERINE 2 NEWS
Bryan Singer and producer Lauren Shuller discussed briefly the new First Class film he is currently working on ant the possibilities of him directing a fourth X-Men and Wolverine 2. Here is what they had to say:

"I genuinely like the people, and my personality meshes more with this universe than it does with other universes, I think; I see that now at this point... I feel a connection to the X-Men characters and also the ensemble nature of the films. If you look at 'Usual Suspects'' or my last film, 'Valkyrie,' I feel especially comfortable with ensemble juggling. In the space between all the characters you can disguise a central thought that's hidden in all the discourse. I missed that with the singular relationship story of Superman. And, well, it always gives you something to cut to..."

"Just doing younger mutants is not enough. The story needs to be more than that. I love the relationship between Magneto and Xavier, these two men who have diametrically opposite points of view but still manage to be friends -- to a point. They are the ultimate frenemies."

Shuler is also trying to get Singer on board for X4. Here is what he had to say to that:

"Hold that one off for just a little, I'm fixated on the other one right now." She nodded and answered, "I will, I will ... I'm holding it open with high hopes. It's totally different [from 'First Class'] and it will be so interesting for you."

This is all good news as far as I'm concerned. This guy knows what he is doing when it comes to X-Men. I would pay the guy a huge salary and sign him to a huge picture deal with anything X-Men related.



JOSH DUHAMEL BACK FOR TRANSFORMERS 3
Who cares.
















ANOTHER FINAL DESTINATION (ROLL YOUR EYES.....NOW)
Apparently The Final Destination isn't exactly the final one after all. For some reason these movies make decent enough money to keep getting sequels and as we are seeing with the Saw franchise, that is enough to stretch something way further than it needs to be (isn't it about time for Saw to be remade?).

There are no details except of course it will be in 3D. I could care less about this project, the trailer always gives away how they all die and then at the end they try and make you think they cheated death, but then uh-oh, what a twist they end up dying anyway.

TRAILER REPORT: PREDATORS

The Predator franchise has been struggling since the second film was released. It wasn't bad, but it was far from being as good as the original. Then we had the horrible Alien vs. Predator films which were laughable. Finally it looks like we are going to get this franchise back on track. I'm happy with what I am seeing so far. Enjoy!!!

MOVIE REVIEW: SHE'S OUT OF MY LEAGUE

Everyday we wake up, we go to school, we go work, we sit in boring meetings and at the end of the day we lay in bed desperately trying to fall asleep. And if your like me, you spend most of your time doing these things day dreaming. What would I do if I won the lottery, what would I do if a loved one was gone, and dreaming of finding that true love who is just a little better looking than you are.

She's Out of My League explores what happens when an average guy actually gets a chance with the knockout girl. When Molly (a ten) leaves her phone at airport security, Kirk (a debatable five) answers. When he goes to return the phone to Molly, they awkwardly kind of hit it off which leads to an official date. Molly normally dates the hot shot type and feels Kirk would be someone safe for her to date, while Kirk normally is just happy to be talking to a female. As the relationship builds they face the problem as to whether they are undeserving of the other or not.

When I go to watch a comedy, it usually takes me a couple of minutes to get into the film. With comedies, there are so many different styles, some I like, some I don't. With this film it took me a while to get into it, but what ultimately won me over were the characters. Once this happened I could sit back and enjoy the film.

The chemistry of the cast is what the film has going for it. Jay Baruchel and Alice Eve really stand out on screen as a couple that really could make it in the real world. Kirk's friends and family also mesh together really well bringing to mind certain people in you own life that they remind you of.

What pulls the film down is the writing. Sean Anders and John Morris wrote the film with only having one other film, Sex Drive, under their belts. Luckily, the cast makes it work saving them this time. Their next film is Hot Tub Time Machine which is supposed to be a much bigger comedy. I hope they have stepped it up with this film.

This film isn't anything special to run out and see immediately. If your bored and want a few good laughs, that is what it is good for. I would suggest renting it, but do not go spend your money on this one. I give it a two out of five.

HEADLINES

FARIS AND EVANS TEAMS UP ON COMEDY
Anna Faris and Chris Evans are teaming up to star in the raunchy comedy What's Your Number. The synopsis is as follows:

Delilah Darling's magic number was supposed to be twenty. She always thought she'd find the perfect guy by the time she'd slept with twenty of them. But when she wakes up naked in her disgusting boss's bed after a drunken night out, she's filled with regret -- and realizes she's hit her self-imposed limit. Unwilling to up her number but unable to imagine a life of celibacy, Delilah does what any girl in her situation would do: she tracks down every man she's ever slept with in a last-ditch effort to make it work with one of them.

Now I don't mind raunchy comedies, but I have a problem with the synopsis of this film. I don't preach morals or values on here, but the line "unable to imagine a life of celibacy" pisses me off. Like I said I don't mind raunchy comedies, but does Hollywood always have to push the whole "it's not cool to not have sex" theme. God forbid someone saves themself for marriage these days. I look at the kids running around the malls and think to myself "Man, our future is screwed". If someone comes out and says "Hey, I'm saving myself for marriage" then Russell Brand has to come along and make fun of them for that. Why? I just have a problem with a thirteen or fourteen year old seeing this and thinking "Hey I need to go out and have sex with as many people as I can". But that is Hollywood and it's not going to change.

Now that I have got that out of my way, I'll share my opinion of this. It will suck. Anna Faris has proven time and time again that she has no real talent. I do like Chris Evans on the other hand and wish he would get in more films. However, I don't think I will like him in this film.

THE BOOK OF GENESIS.....IN 3D
Speaking of morals, there have been plans to take the book of Genesis from the Bible and convert that into a film titled In the Beginning....in 3D. There are films you make in 3D and then there are films you don't make in 3D. This is a movie you DO NOT make in 3D. I mean come on the only thing I can think of that would be cool in 3D is the first six days while God is creating the heavens and Earth. Other than that.....I don't see it.

HEMSWORTH CAST IN ARABIAN NIGHTS
No not Chris Hemsworth, but his brother Liam. The story of the film centers on a young commander (Hemsworth) who, after his king is murdered in a coup, joins forces with Sinbad and Aladdin to rescue Queen Scheherazade. Oh, and it's going to be in 3D.

This is one of those films where your going to have to see the trailer before you can judge. It sounds cool, but it could come out looking like Prince of Persia...aka like crap.

TWO MORE RUMORED FOR MEN IN BLACK 3
First let me start off by saying that no one has signed on to do this film yet. But I believe it will happen and Smith will be back. I'm not sure about Tommy Lee Jones. But a month or two ago it was reported that Josh Brolin would be stepping in to take over Jone's part. Now two more names have popped up to star. Sacha Baron Cohen and Flight of the Conchords star Jemain Clement are now rumored to be involved with the film as well.

I like Brolin as a MIB agent. I would like to see Jones come back or at least in a small role, but I think Brolin would make a good replacement. As for Cohen and Clement, I'm guessing they would play some sort of alien role in the film, probably a villain. I haven't quite decided if I like Cohen yet. I didn't like him in Talladega Nights, loved Borat, and wasn't crazy about Bruno. Just as long as he doesn't over do the role it should be fine. Let's get this thing rolling though.

MOVIE REVIEW: ALICE IN WONDERLAND

Tim Burton and Johhny Depp team up once again to bring us a follow-up to Disney's 1951 version of Alice In Wonderland. In the follow-up Alice has grown up and thinks of her first trip to Wonderland as merely a dream. But when the Red Queen takes over Wonderland, Alice must be brought back to help the White Queen regain control over Wonderland.

Alice in Wonderland starts out interesting enough. You get to see a grown up Alice and how her imagination still wonders free. But once she enters Wonderland, the film came to a halt for me. My first problem with the film was that they pushed Johnny Depp to hard on the film. It is titled Alice In Wonderland, but yet all you saw on the posters and previews was Johnny Depp. I feel as if he is wasting his career on these quirky characters instead of showing his full potential in film. While I watched there were numerous times that Jack Sparrow was on the screen instead of the Mad Hatter. I understand that him and Burton are buddies, but they had an A-lister in a B-lister role. Then they absolutely ruin what little they have going by making Johnny Depp do the most ridiculous dance number I have seen in a while at the end of the film.

The effects of the film were very unimpressive, which is funny because James Cameron criticized Burton for the way he was going about doing the 3-D. Wonderland looked a little too cartoonish. Maybe I was spoiled with the amazing job Cameron did on the planet of Pandora. I don't enjoy films where I can tell that without a doubt everything was shot on a green screen set. It takes away from the film in my opinion and I believe that is what hurt the new Star Wars trilogy some.

There was some positive things about the film. I thought that Mia Wasikowska did a great job playing Alice and was sadly not given a whole lot to do in the film. I am looking forward to seeing what becomes of Wasikowska's career after the success of this film.

My favorite part was Helena Bonham Carter who played the Red Queen. She nailed the crazy, "off with their head" obsessed Queen. Every scene she was in was a highlight of the film and I am not a fan of hers, but I wish she could deliver more performances like this one.

I hope that Burton will get back to his roots once he has all these kids movies out of the way. During the late eighties and throughout the nineties he made films that I personally love such as; Beetlejuice, Batman, Batman Returns, Mars Attacks and Sleepy Hollow. But since 2000 he hasn't made a single film I have been impressed with. Planet of the Apes was a major flop, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was a disgrace to the original, Sweeney Todd was ok, but I wasn't blown away and I wasn't thrilled with Alice in Wonderland. I would love to see what he could do if he would get away from Johnny Depp and Helen Bonham Carter for a few films.

I realize that it had a monster opening weekend, but I think it will drop off tremendously this weekend. Hook was a much better version of what they tried to do with this film. I don't fall asleep during many films, this film was one of them, which is why I am giving it a two out of five.
