The first trailer disappointed me. But this one is much more like it. Even if it screams Gladiator, which it has a right to, I'm looking forward to this version of Robin Hood.
You are The Magician
Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.
Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing,
you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.
The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is represented by Mercury. He represents the gift of tongues, a smooth talker, a salesman. Also clever with the slight of hand and a medicine man - either a real doctor or someone trying to sell you snake oil.
What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.
This trailer disappoints me. It's like a Matrix/Robin Hood mixture. I'm hoping it's just how the trailer was made and isn't an indication to how the movie will actually play out.
George Clooney has a boyfriend? No, Matt isn't his boyfriend. It still is funny though.
Totally didn't mean to come up with the post title like that. It kind of just worked out. Anyway, after the awkward part he kind of talks about the upcoming Hobbit.

Once you get past the intro in French it gets really good.
What a dork
I haven't even watched this yet, but it must be good right?
Woohoo, a trailer with some plot in it!
The official trailer for the new season of Heroes. I am really really looking forward to Sept. 21st! The only problem I have is, well there are two. Claire jumping off or falling or whatever in front of the world to see, and Hiro dying! Peter as an awesome paramedic is cool. Wow, give baby Matt Parkman an Oscar for the best terrified face I have ever seen. Is that CG?
Woah! I did not know what to expect when I pressed play. The CG is amazing. Wow! It won't break records like Cameron's last movie Titanic, but it will do well. Yay for an original movie!
Avatar is due out December 18th, 2009!
Remember how Blizzard trademarked the name Cataclysm in July? It appears it's the name of the next World of Warcraft expansion.
WoW.com, citing "multiple sources close to the situation," claims that World of Warcraft: Cataclysm will be the third expansion for the wildly popular MMORPG. They also state that Cataclysm will add two new playable races to the game: the werewolf-like Worgen will join the Alliance while the Horde will accept the little green Goblins into their ranks.
BlizzCon 2009 will take place on August 21st and 22nd. If this rumor is legit, one would expect some sort of announcement from Blizzard during that time.
WHY does Alliance get all the cool characters? The only somewhat decent one for chicks in Horde is the Blood Elf. Too bad I've gone cold turkey for the time being. I'm bound to relapse at some point.

Nicola Peltz looks so young compared to the others. I know she is supposed to be young, but I don't know if I can see her as a threatening water bender.
Uhhhh. I'll wait to give judgment on Jackson Rathbone. Much depends on comedic timing.
I can't wait for July 2nd! Then we shall see what the movie will really be like and get over all of these "sneak peeks."

Reynolds Goes Green, But Will There Be a New Big Blue?
Reynolds Goes Green, But Will There Be a New Big Blue?
Late this week Interweb chatter in the geekverse spiked twice. First over the release of the San Diego Comic Con schedule for later this month. It revealed that, due to conference-hall scheduling, James Cameron-worshiping fanboys drooling for a peek at some Avatar footage might have to push and shove in line with rabid Twihards squealing for a New Moon presentation and a possible Bobby Pattinson appearance. Oh, the indignation! Oh, the humanity! Oh, the deadly spread of cooties!
The second web-shaking news was of more interest to the general movie-going public. There had been a month of speculation that Hangover-hot Bradley Cooper was a likely shoo-in to play Hal Jordan in the film adaptation of DC Comic’s Green Lantern. (To be directed by Martin Campbell of the Zorro films, Goldeneye, and Casino Royale.) But then came news this past week that in fact three actors were in contention to wear the Lantern’s Power Ring (not to be confused with Sauron’s Ring of Power—totally different geek rings): Cooper, Ryan Reynolds, and Justin Timberlake.
And on Friday Warner Brothers announced that instead of the presumed Cooper it would be Reynolds playing the hot-shot test pilot-turned-intergalactic cop in the live-action superhero flick. This comes after the word in May that Marvel Films would develop a Deadpool spin-off film from X-Men Origins: Wolverine, with Reynolds reprising his role as the wisecracking, fourth-wall-breaking “merc with a mouth.” Having played Marvel vampire hunter Hannibal King in Blade: Trinity, and once on tap to play DC’s Flash (that project is currently stalled out), Reynolds could now become the first actor ever to play heroes for both Marvel and their long-time rival DC. (UPDATED CORRECTION: As reader Jeremy F. points out, this is not true! Halle Berry played Storm for Marvel in the X-Men films and starred as Catwoman in the kinda horrific DC adaptation.)
So, fresh off the success of The Proposal, Reynolds is now being expected to carry two budding superhero...continue
Woo hoo teaser trailer. Check it out over at moviefone because I can't embed it yet -->Teaser Trailer for Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief

So I freaked out about nursing school, again. My first freakout being a few posts ago. So naturally I searched the web for comfort; and found it! (here)
Admission Success Step One. First, if you haven’t already done so, make a thorough examination of yourself as to whether you really do want to get into nursing school and become a nurse. Do you know what becoming a nurse entails? Spend a few days, or longer, doing this self examination. Just make sure that becoming a nurse is really what you want to do. The following may sound cliché to you, but it is very true: so many people just rush into nursing school just because everyone else is and because they do not know of what else is out there. So do take a little time out of your busy schedule to reflect if this is what you would like to do for the rest of your life. There is nothing wrong about being a nurse. You may really like it. Just make sure that your temperament and personality fit this type of job and that you know what a typical day of being a nurse is like.More article, more article, more article...
In conclusion: If nursing school and becoming a nurse are really what you want, go for it! Don’t be afraid of the competition because often, people say they want to go into nursing school and succeed in it, but do not really expend the time necessary to get in or excel once they get in. On the other hand, you will be prepared because you have made up your mind to do the best you can. Do not be deterred of all the other keen students applying because there will always be spot for the determined.My fear is gpa. I learned to get over it in high school. I didn't have to get a 4.0 to succeed, above a 3.5 was good enough. But with 4.0 nursing applicants being turned away I am feeling the worst pressure ever. *big breathe* *pause* It's what I want to do so there will be a spot for me. I am determined.

So I was finally able to speak with an adviser from the nursing school I could attend. I have at least four more years of hard college ahead. Having all of that work laid out in front of me is tiring. Or it could be that I got up at 4:30 this morning. Either way, it's what I make of it right? Well it will be work, but if I do it right all that work will pay off majorly. The point of this is to work hard now, so I don't have to work hard later. I have hope. Wait that's Katara's line. I am determined. I was called that once. It has to be true. Determination = eventually good results.
Yum!

Yay

"Empire chatted with Ryan Reynolds and asked him an interesting question about the upcoming "X-Men" spin-off, Deadpool, in which he'll reprise his role from the "Wolverine" movie.
Reynolds says Deadpool will breach the fourth wall: "Break the fourth wall? Oh yeah, he's got to. I want to see him break the Great Wall"... "The studio's working on a script and trying to find a director. The main goal is to make sure it stays close to the source material."
So does Reynolds feel under pressure from fanboys? “I’m one of them. I’ve always been a fan, at least for the last eight or nine years. I feel a bit of validation because I knew going into Wolverine that there’s a huge fanbase for this and I don’t think anyone else did."
A release date has not yet been set for the film."
Found this over at ComingSoon.net.
Breaking the fourth wall means he will do something like speak to the audience which I hear he does frequently in the comics.
Thanks RyanReynoldsFan.net for the picture.

I'm looking forward to the Half-Blood Prince. But it bugs me because Dumbledore looks even more like Gandalf and people already get them confused. They are NOT the same actor. Michael Gambon = Dumbledore. (Sir) Ian McKellan = Gandalf.

This looks really good. Don't quite remember it in the book... but who cares anymore haha. Really good stuff. All the way down to Tonks changed hair color from it's usual brightness.

Matt Damon once said that only Steven Soderbergh could get all the actors together for the Ocean's franchise. And that he respected and liked working with him. I wonder if Matt would have done this movie if it was directed by someone else? Oh, and George Clooney is executive producing. Funny how that works out.

I saw 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' at the midnight showing, and then again on Sunday. Of course the midnight showing was sold out, but not as quickly as The Dark Knight or some previous Harry Potters. There was overall hype, but again not as much as I have seen before. One review I agree with is over at Seattlepi.com:
"For some reason Michael Bay & Co thought it was a good idea to have a bunch of sexual overtones. I'm still not sure what that added to the movie... Some of the language was harsh as well."
With a staff of writers isn't it possible to come up with something better? I guess the language appeals to a broad audience?
"The action scenes in Revenge of the Fallen were much better than 2007's Transformers. It was hard to watch some of action sequences in the first movie. A lot of the shots were really tight which made it hard to focus on what was even happening."
I could actually follow who was getting their butt kicked and who was winning within the fight. I can dissect these scenes, instead of just zoning out until they are done.
"More robots! More robots! I as happy to see they added more characters to the movie. Some of them went really undeveloped, but it was still good to see new characters in a few scenes."
Me gusto mucho. More characters = More awesome cars.
Speaking about new cars. I did not notice that the new Chevy Cruze, which I have mentioned before, and the Chevy Volt were in 'Transformers: RotF' until I watched it a second time. The Volt looks pretty in purple. It's shown briefly... I can't remember when. If you blink you will miss it. I found a picture of it over at Autoindustrie.blogspot.com, which is really an informative blog about cars.
In the opening scenes the Cruze is used as a Shanghai cop car. I was excited when I saw the Cruze, I had to look online to make sure it was there, and not a new Impala, Cobalt or something... I cannot find an image of the Cruze dressed up as it was in Transformers.
Also, does Michael Bay mention previous films of his in all of his movies? In the first Transformers one of the kids running to see the fallen "comet" says something to the effect of "This is so much better than Armageddon". Then in Revenge of the Fallen Shia LaBeouf paints all over a Bad Boys II poster.
Hmm my favorite number is seven... so lets give 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' on the basis of really awesome blowout fight scenes and shiny cars but unneeded language and super weak plot... three out of seven. I would watch it again, but not a million times.
Over at Cinematical.com an article talks about how 'The Lord of the Rings' is either being used to calm protestors or to support one of the candidates.
I knew that all throughout LotR there is a green message; Sarumon was industry that was destroying the Earth. Especially in The Two Towers. I did not know that others used it to promote their own ideals. When couples used LotR as a theme for their weddings, Tolkien was upset. I don't think he would be very happy with this either.
The rest of the article is over at Cinematical.com.
"The latest political controversy that the series finds itself embroiled in is the Iranian electoral protests. Time has a piece from an anonymous Iranian resident reporting that the government is using film to try and quell public unrest. "In normal times, Iranian television usually treats its viewers to one or two Hollywood or European movie nights a week. But these are not normal times, so it's been two or three such movies a day. It's part of the push to keep people at home and off the streets, to keep us busy, to get us out of the regime's hair. The message is 'Don't worry, be happy.'"It goes on to explain how the death of Boromir portrays dying to defend humanity and that Shadowfax draws the image of "Rakhsh, the mythical horse of the Rostam, the great champion of the Shahnameh".

Over at ReelzChannel.com they scored descriptive hints from Hobbit director Guillermo del Toro.
"Well we start next year. We are in pre-production. We are writing, designing, designing characters, monsters. Designing all the environments. Developing the technology to shoot it. And it will start in March 2010 and we will shoot for about 370 days or so. And at the end of that we will post-produce for a few months. And then first movie comes out 2011. Second movie comes out 2012."To read the entire article head over to ReelzChannel.com
"The landscapes in some cases, in some instances that were not established in the trilogy, we are going for a slightly different feel in some of the landscapes. So we are going to evolve little by little. At the end of the first movie, you will see landscapes that you haven't seen in the trilogy. And in the second movie we go to, hopefully, a place that is very very different."
"... it looks like a 16-hour, insane movie, there's so much in it. It's too early for me to tell how much stuff is going to get paired down. I don't really feel comfortable saying too much, except that it looks amazing. And it's very much a del Toro stamp on that world."
'Teaser' trailers are the ultimate tool in creating cinema anticipation. It's a literal glimpse at what patient people will see for the first time in less than a year, but I am not patient when it comes to things like Avatar: 'The Last Airbender.'
From watching this 1:41 of film it's possible to assume the bending will be awesomely successful! Other than that... not much. Aang looks like he has big feet maybe?
'Teaser'. pfft. I love movie gossip as much as the next person, but lately substance in most 'updates' has been lacking. It's a method the studios use to generate interest. Well, we are interested already! Stop spending money on little things and spend it making a quality film!
I picked the wrong post to write this on. I am really looking forward to 'The Last Airbender.' But we have to wait a year. SO. I will be watching it. Next year.
This teaser trailer ROCKS!

Just a quick update: New on-set photo from ComingSoon.net of Russell Crow dressed for his leading role in the Ridley Scott directed Robin Hood.
A lot of people have been writing that he looks too much like he did in Gladiator. I'm convinced it's just the hair. And what's wrong with Gladiator anyway?
Update: I did not know Dr. Morris was in Robin Hood! I was looking at some of the set photos and I saw this guy with red hair. Kinda blurry... But that is awesome! Scott Grimes is his actual name. Dr. Morris was ER.

MTV just scored exclusive goodness about Ryan Reynolds and his upcoming project centered around Deadpool.
“I love it, because I get to be involved,” Reynolds said of his role in the fast-tracked development of a Deadpool spin-off film. “And I’m such a huge fan of the character.”It's (almost) always a good thing when an actor has so much time invested in a film. I don't know very much about the character Deadpool, but if Ryan Reynolds is involved, I'm in!
Check out the rest of the article over at MTV.com.
Found some exciting news over at G4 today:
Firstly, del Toro had what could be considered somewhat of a casting scoop. (Even though we've pretty much carried on the past years "knowing" it was going to happen.) Andy Serkis will return as Gollum, Ian McKellen will return as Gandalf, and Hugo Weaving will return as Elrond, all reprising their Lord of the Rings trilogy roles. Again, most any given fan would likely have never even thought that they would NOT return. However, it's still a warm and fuzzy feeling to at least get that little bit of news, straight from the horse's mouth."
An official trailer for 'The Last Airbender' will debut before Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen on June 24, 2009! The news comes from Frank Marshall, "LAB" producer, via Twitter.
I don't know about you, but this picture is my favorite out of the bunch at MTV.com. These Chevy cars are the new Trax and Beat and of course the Camaro.
The Beat was one of three Chevrolets concept cars shown to the public. There was an online vote to see which the people wanted to see go into production and the Beat won. The people in charge at Chevrolet have said that is would take several years to get the two door car up to the safety standards of the US and Canada but would be sold in Europe and the like starting in 2008 or 2009. With the recent bankruptcy woes of GM a release in the US seems to be even further away.
Well that's a bummer. But I'm kind of looking forward to the Cruze myself...

In what I'm sure is strategic marketing, a new photo of Mickey Rourke as Whiplash has been released from USA Today via ComingSoon.net.
At the moment this seems to be a flimsy representation of Iron Man's nemesis. I'm sure in action Mickey Rourke will seem more formidable.
Whiplash, along with the Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) will be fighting against Iron Man/Tony Stark in the Jon Favreau directed Iron Man 2.

To continue The Avengers goodness, here is some other information from Beyond Hollywood:
Jon Favreau (Iron Man 1&2 director) Interview:
From BeyondHollywood.com
“The Avengers”: Feige would like to see the Hulk show up, possibly as the movie’s central villain (or antagonist) that spurs the creation of the Avengers to face the threat. And since he signs the checks, I’m going to guess he’ll get his wish. Also, Zak Penn will begin his draft of the movie next week and work through the summer. Feige also confirms that Sam Jackson and Scarlett Johansson (who will be playing the Black Widow in “Iron Man 2″) have already been signed up for the movie.
To continue The Avengers goodness, here is some other information from Beyond Hollywood:
Jon Favreau (Iron Man 1&2 director) Interview:
“Yeah, definitely, definitely,” Favreau said in an interview at WonderCon in San Francisco on Feb. 23, where he unveiled new footage from his upcoming movie, which stars Robert Downey Jr.
Favreau added: “I don’t want to blow anything, and also I don’t honestly know where it’s all going to land. I know that there are sort things that have been discussed and tried and talked about. I know at the end of the day on the Horizon is The Avengers, and the idea is to have chapters of all of the characters that would contribute to being The Avengers. … Hopefully, we’re all going toward The Avengers.”
Favreau wouldn’t confirm the Fury/Jackson cameo in Iron Man. “I’m not going to talk about who’s in what, but for the fans, there’s definitely enough to keep you leaning forward and paying attention and stuff,” he said. “And your girlfriend’s not going to know what you’re so interested in in certain scenes. It’s just going to fly by for certain people. But I think we threw enough breadcrumbs around to reward you for giving a s–t.”

Please be better than Twilight. Please. I have little faith in Chris Weitz of Golden Compass...infamy.
New Moon, the second film in The Twilight Saga, comes out November 20th.
While searching through a few trailers I came upon this:
Starring:
Russel Crowe as Robin Hood
Cate Blanchett as Maid Marion
Matthew Macfadyen as the Sheriff of Nottingham
Directed by Ridley Scott
Produced by Brian Grazer
Score rumored to be composed by Marc Streitenfeld
Dailymail.co.uk has some new on set photos from Robin Hood, which started filming last month in Surrey. This has all the makings of a brilliant film! But that could turn out to be it's only downfall. Expectations are astromonical. Of course I'm looking forward to seeing it!
Robin Hood is set for an April 14, 2010 release.

FunnyorDie.com strikes again.
USA Today reveals the first images of M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender.
Twelve-year-old black belt Noah Ringer portrays Aang, the last air bender.
Dev Patel, known as Jamal from Slumdog Millionaire,
portrays Zuko, prince of the fire nation.
I have one problem with the article:
One picture I want to see is of Jackson Rathbone, or Jasper from Twilight, as Sokka. In Twilight he hardly showed any emotion, but that is part of the role. Apparently he is a pretty funny guy, which is important since Sokka is the sole comic relief.
With all the different element bending there will have to be a lot of good special effects. But with Michael Dante DiMartino, one of the original creators, working on the film the story should be preserved well. Having watched the series, I am hoping and praying this will turn out well. The plan seems to be to make a movie for each of the three books (Water, Earth, Fire) the same as the original series.
The cartoon series ended last year with Book Three: Fire.
The Last Airbender is set to be released July 2, 2010.
6/19 Update:
I don't know how I missed this picture, but it came out around the same time as these other two did.
Thank you LastAirbenderFans.com
Well, he has the same facial expression that Zuko had. For the entire first book. But how he changes throughout the series will undoubtedly be the most compelling aspect of the story, even if it's centered around Aang and that Fire Lord guy ;)

I have one problem with the article:
"Ringer didn't need to alter much to play Aang, who uses martial arts to manipulate the weather. Like Aang, Ringer keeps his head shaved and is an expert in martial arts."Aang doesn't manipulate the weather. Moving on :)

First impressions: Looks like it's taking The Dark Knight approach to remakes. Tough and gritty with some witty humor. I love Rachel McAdams and I'm excited to see her here. But I have a problem with Robert Downey's accent. Okay, okay so he is linguistically talented we already knew that; here is just seems off for some reason. Jude Law looks promising. He reminds me of Paul Bettany in Master and Commander. Plus, I did not know Hans Zimmer was the composer for this movie. Yay :)
The new (and improved?) Sherlock Holmes will be in theaters December 25th.

It's cool that I still use "What I've Done" as my ring tone right?
Just a quick note saying Linkin Park will once again be on the Transformers soundtrack. They are working with Hans Zimmer and... well check out Mike Shinoda's blog to get the latest.

Thanks FirstShowing.net!
Thanks FirstShowing.net!
I won't go to a movie just because Johnny Depp is in it. But Johnny Depp, AND Christian Bale? Even David Wenham! Secretly this is who I will be watching for... The trailer before Fast and Furious sent chills up my spine. A good sign.
