Category: Movie News and Rumours

I'm off to finally see '300' tonight. Expecting a mediocre plot more than made up for by huge amounts of butt whooping action. I saw this review of 300 this morning and it cracked me up, I'm off to see the Manliest Movie Ever! Here's a sneak peak:

When the credits started to roll at the end of 300 I stood up, looked at SB and said...

Me: I have an erection!
Girl Behind Me: Eww.

I then called electRONic to tel him 300 kicks nine kinds of ass and doesn't even bother to call you the next day...

Me: The movie has been over for 15 minutes and I still have an erection!
electRONic: I knew you would say something like that.

The I called Z to let him know that 300 is even better than Gremlins 2: The New Batch...

Me: The movie has been over for 25 minutes and I STILL have an erection!
Z: Ummm... OK.

Apparently 300 is cinematic viagra!!!

So tonight I dine on popcorn whilst taking in a bunch of dudes cracking open a can of whoop ass that even Jack Bauer himself would be proud of!

One of the coolest games I've played on the Xbox lately is Hitman: Blood Money, the latest in the Agent 47 Hitman series. It's freakin' cool, and there are countless ways to complete the levels making it perfect for a second or third run through. Any how, I digress. This morning I read that a movie based on the Hitman games is in production.

Dougray Scott will star alongside Timothy Olyphant in Luc Besson-produced actioner "The Hitman" for 20th Century Fox.

Olga Kurylenko ("Paris je t'aime"), Robert Knepper ("Prison Break"), Ulrich Thomsen ("Festen") and Michael Offei ("Casino Royale") also have joined the cast of the vidgame adaptation.

Initially, my expectations for this film were frightfully low, as I'd read rumor's that Uwe Boll had signed on to produce the Hitman adaption. You may remember Uwe Boll from such grotesque films as Alone in the Dark, House of the Dead and Blood Rayne. He has also been linked to a Huner: The Reckoning film.

In any case, I'm glad he doesn't seem to be involved with the Agent 47 movie. Vin Diesel was once rumored to be playing 47, but this has been proven false as well.

This post is absolute gold, the top 10 Action Hero One Liners. Very pleasing to see 'Predator' well represented!

Sadly though, my all time favorite didn't make an appearance.

"If it bleeds, we can kill it!" - Arnie as Dutch aka. Captain Obvious.

I found this script that is allegedly the opening scene of what would be Alien 5. Not sure how genuine it is, but it's an interesting read.

The most notable thing from the opening scene is the absence of Sigourny Weaver, and after reading the opening I'm not sure how they would work her into the plot. But perhaps that's the point? I'm not sure they need to make an Alien 5, it may be time for the producers to quit while they are still in credit. Bring on Predator 3 I say!

If this script is legit it makes for an interesting opening to the film, but I guess there is no way of knowing if this is real or not until any official news is released. In the mean time I guess I'll wait for Alien vs Predator 2, which is said to star "Michelle" (Tony's wife) from 24, to come out later this year.

The Pick of Destiny promises to be the greatest rock musical since Hedwig and the Angry Inch sans post operative transexuals. It sounds rockin and features a very special guest appearance by Dave Grohl as 'Satan' (perhaps reprising his role from the Tribute film clip). Apparently Dave played drums on the entire Pick of Destiny album. He's one busy dude! I wonder if there'll be another Probot album? Anyway, besides the point. I'm hoping the Pick of Destiny rocks a lot harder than School of Rock or else Jack Black will have lost me forever. Will I buy the soundtrack? Probably not. Will I go see the movie? Gosh yes!

ScreechThe Age blog is reporting a very disturbing story this morning. You may remember the crappy US teen sitcom "Saved by the Bell". Staying true to the sitcom formula of the time, "Saved by the Bell" featured a Steve Urkel style character called Screech. Screech made me feel a whole lot better about myself. Well apparently Screech has fallen upon some tough times financially, not so tough though that he couldn't spare the time to film himself having a 'threesome' with two women! According to the Age, his manager is looking at selling the sex tape to the highest bidder. This is the celebrity sex tape Chynascandal you never wanted to see. Arguably this one will compete with the Chyna (female WWE wrestler) 'honeymoon' tape for the title of most disturbing celebrity sex tape in history. You can read the full blog post on the Age website.

p.s Lil' Gerry specifically requested 'finders' credit for this one, stating that he "did not want to be diddled on this one". That statement is disturbing enough in itself as far as I'm concerned!

I came across this site just recently: http://www.undergroundfilm.org/

It features a whole heap of short underground films (it's all free so you don't have to be scared). There's some weird stuff, some very left of centre stuff, and some funny stuff. Definitely worth a look if your into short indy films.

Holy chandeliers Batman, check it out!
