Upcoming Movie to Watch: RoboCop (The Remake)

 The Original RoboCop was released in 1987 which stars Peter Weller and it's considered one of the acclaimed movies at that time. Next year, RoboCop the Reboot version is surprising good visually and as the trailer shows it has much better action. My only personal comment about the reboot is that the new RoboCop looks more like Judge Dredd than a cyborg supercop, but the rest of the movie looks promising.

Kingkiller Chronicles - A Possible New Fantasy Movie?

Not since J.R.R Tolkien's Lord of The Rings have any newepic fantasy movie that has dominate the box office and as a epic fantasy book reader, I been thing thinking which among the latest fantasy books can Hollywood adapt into a movie and then came to mind Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicles.

For the those who don't know, the Kingkiller Chronicles telling the autobiography of Kvothe (pronounced like "Quothe" but with a v), an adventurer, arcanist, and famous musician. The plot is divided into two different action threads: the present, where Kvothe tells the story of his life to Devan Lochees (known as Chronicler) and Kvothe's past, where most of the story is located. 

Having reading the first two books, The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear, the story has some elements of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series (during the time when the protagonist tell his story during his time on the university learning the "arcane arts) and some impression of Anne Rice's Interview with a Vampire (the concept of the protagonist telling his autobiography).

I'm not sure if any Hollywood film production has acquired any film right to this story but surely enough once mr. Rothfuss complete the the trilogy, it won't be long that a film adaptation will be on the works. 

Girl with a Dragon Tattoo

A Sensational #1 Bestseller – Now a Major Motion Picture starring with Daniel Craig as Mikael Blomkvist.

A magical amalgam of homicide secret, loved ones tale, really like tale, and economical interest.

It’s about the disappearance 40 decades ago of Harriet Vanger, a youthful scion of one of the richest family members in Sweden . . . and about her octogenarian dad, identified to know the reality of the matter about what he considers was her homicide.

It’s about Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading writer lately at the incorrect end of a libel situation, used to get to the end of Harriet’s disappearance . . . and about Lisbeth Salander, a twenty-four-year-old pierced and inked professional cyberpunk had of the hard-earned information of someone twice her age—and a horrific potential for ruthlessness to go with it—who helps Blomkvist with the research. This unlikely group understands a problematic vein of nearly unfathomable iniquity managing through the Vanger loved ones, surprising data corruption in the best echelons of Remedial industrialism—and an unanticipated network between themselves.

It’s a contagiously interesting, incredibly wise novel about community at its most concealed, and about the personal life of a superbly recognized toss of people, all of them required to deal with the dark factors of their community and of their own life.

Good thing the new movie is not yet in theaters as I'm still reading the book series. 

The A-Team Movie

"I love it when the plan comes together". These are the immortal words of George "Hannibal" Smith which was first heard during the 80's series version of the A-Team. This year the A-Team returns via a movie with Liam Neeson playing Hannibal, MMA fighter "Rampage" Jackson playing B.A Baracus. I plan to watch the movie since I wanna compare how Sharlto Copley can handle "Howling Mad" Murdock's witty antics compared to Dwight Schultz.

The Dude Behind Edward Cullen

When it comes to "Twilight," the question isn't whether the teen vampire movie is any good, but whether the hero, Edward Cullen, is as magical as we want him to be. Edward is brooding and sensitive ... and thanks to Pattinson's furrowed eyebrows, crooked smiles and carefully crafted hairstyles, he delivers just the Edward we've been waiting for.

2008 Movies

Good year? Bad year? Who really cares ... we just want some entertainment ... to get out of the home, have the lights go down, see the upcoming trailers, be told to turn off our cells, and then settle in to having the big screen take over for a couple of hours.

Sunday Afternoon Blog: Watching "The Bank Job"

Sunday Afternoon was another R and R moment for me. This time the movie titled "The Bank Jobs".

What makes this movie interesting is that the movie is based on a 1971 true-life robbery of a bank in Baker Street, London, from which the money and valuables stolen were never recovered. The story was prevented from being told because of a D-Notice government gagging request, allegedly to protect a prominent member of the British Royal Family.

Sunday Afternoon Blog: Blogging and DVD Movie Marathon

Today's edition of Sunday Afternoon blogs will be about my penchant for watching DVD movies and downloaded videos every Sunday Afternoon. This afternoon I did watch three videos: "Pirates of the Caribbean 3, and House M.D. Season 4 episodes 6 and 7.

Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End was my choice today because on my top list of "DVDs" to watch for this week. The 3rd installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean is about redemption and closure on the part of the main cast specially on the part of the lovers Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann.

Most of my downloaded videos are the latest seasons of my favorite TV series like CSI, CSI: Miami, CSI:NY and House M.D. What I am excited most is House M.D. I've been following the series since the Pilot episode and I love Dr. Gregory House's style of humor, very unpredictable, direct to point and sometimes downright insulting.
