THE DARK KNIGHT - New One Sheet Revealed

Is this not the coolest one sheet we have seen all year! Only INDIANA JONES comes close. Take a look and marvel and its greatness!

COMING SOON... THE HOBBIT!!!

It's official!!! Guillermo Del Toro will direct THE HOBBIT, as well as a sequel which will connect THE HOBBIT to the FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING. Peter Jackson will be overseeing the project in the role of Executive Producer. Also, Del Toro will be collaborating with the LOTR writing team of Jackson, Fran Walsh, and Philippa Boyens to come up with a script. New Zealand will once again serve as Middle Earth with Jackson's production studio, Wing Nut Films, providing all its resources including Weta Workshop, Weta Digital, sound stages, and production equipment for what will entail another massive production. Now we will just have to wait and see what this dream team does in the area of casting and crew choices. You can almost count on the fact that Andy Serkis will return as Gollum and Ian McKellen as Gandalf, for there is no one else that could fill their shoes.

My Favorite Films of 2007!!!

It is about time I presented my own top ten favorite films of 2007. Let me first say that 2007 was a great year at the movies. Not since 1999 have there been so many provocative, artistically well-crafted, and culturally relevant films. Why is it in times of great tragedy and strife in the world, that art somehow becomes greater? I think dire circumstances call for deeper thought, greater discussion, and the opportunity for artists and their audiences to ask the bigger questions that plague humanity. Tragedy tends to put our lives into perspective, and the films of 2007 did not waiver in revealing the tradgic world we all live in. ATONEMENT, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, THERE WILL BE BLOOD, MICHAEL CLAYTON, IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH, GONE BABY GONE, and THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES, to say a few, were all about human suffering and tragedy. ATONEMENT showed us how a single mistake can destroy the lives of all those in its path, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN presented the ever increasing violence that plagues are lives and how we are nearly helpless in stopping it, and THERE WILL BE BLOOD showed how greed and obsession can destroy even the most precious of things we hold dear. It seems like this year Hollywood was making the claim that human beings do indeed suffer, and that from this side of the War in Iraq, the crisis in the Middle East, and the political indignation on our own soil, that the current state of the world is rough. Though I agree, it saddens me to think that in this time when people need Entertainment to help them cope with the world, they get films that want to spill the beans on how or why the world is the way it is rather than offer a valuable solution. I long for the days when films will return to their escapist roots, reminding us why it is we go to the movies in the first place. Why else was ALVIN IN THE CHIPMUNKS one of the biggest blockbuster successes of the year? It was exactly what audiences needed, something fun, enjoyable, and family friendly which also offered the chance for a temporary escape of life’s worries. I guess we will just have to wait and see what 2008 has to offer.

Actor Charlton Heston Dead At Age 84

Charlton Heston Dies at 84

This past Saturday, Charlton Heston, one of cinemas greatest leading men passed away at the age of 84, the cause of death is still unknown but he was believed to be suffering from Alzheimer's Disease. Some of his most famous performances include Moses in Cecil B. Demille's THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (pictured above), an astronaut in PLANET OF THE APES, and his Oscar winning role as Judah Ben-Hur in BEN-HUR, most famously known for its spectacular chariot race scene. To this day, Heston remains one of my favorite actors. He was and still is the epitome of a man's man. He knew what it meant to lead every moment he was on screen, and was not afraid to take charge of every role. Heston was for big screen epics what John Wayne was for westerns, a symbol of strength, confidence, heroism, and dignity without the egotism that so fervently floods the screens these days. It is hard to imagine anyone but Heston parting the Red Sea, or racing a chariot in the great Roman circus. He has placed an impression upon the hearts of movie goers forever, and he will dearly be missed.
