Anticipating 2010: Part 2


Let's continue on our search for the viable films in the second part of the trilogy posts dealing with the new year.

The A-Team: Remake an 80's Show is as common as the cold. But this one looks actually *GASP* good. Bradley Cooper, Liam Neeson, Quinton Rampage Jackson and Sharlto Copley are in the cast and it looks like a fun combo. Some great action and lines might make this a great action film. (June 11)

Toy Story 3: The most wanted film of the year, this brilliant gem follows two fo the greatet films of all-time. With a sad premise, fun new characters and some secrets yet to be revealed, Toy Story 3 is gonna rule whether you want it to or not. (June 18)

Grown Ups; Adam Sandler is always fun, but pair him with Kevin James and Chris Rock and David Spade AND Rob Sdhneider and you have what looks like the knock-out comedy of the summer like The Hangover was. (June 25)

Despicable Me: I was all ready to say Boo to this...but I can't resist a film that gives Chuck Jones homages and the animation looks clever. I love Steve Carrel so this could be the surprise flick of the summer. (July 9)

Inception: Christopher Nolan follows the matserpiece The Dark Knight with this odd thriller. No one knwos what it is about or even what it may end up being. But I keep getting intrigued by the little things we see and I trust Nolan a lot so I'll give it a try. (July 16)

Guardians of Ga'Hoole: Zach Snyder is a visionay. Watchmen was an abomination story-wise but it's visuals....wow. Whenever I read about this film I think of when Wes Anderson made Fantastic Mr. Fox (another movie ased on an animal book). Zach may have the same impact here when he directs this owl fable. (September 24)

The Social Network: David Fincher is about to bring us the man behind...Facebook! Well put that with Flash of Genuis as another odd inventor film, but I just can't get the film out of my head. I think this might work after all. (October 1)

The final part will be published this weekend.

Editorial: A Web of Rumors


Ever since Sony announced 4 days ago that Spider-Man was getting the reboot, I have been getting reports after report of rumblings going on about the new franchise. What do I know? Here is what I have now:

* Sam Raimi dropped out because he felt he couldn't match that 2011 date and still be creativley good.

* Sony had been devolping the reboot and Spider-Man 4 side-by-side. The 4th film would be the final part of the Sma Raimi quadology and the reboot would be out the following year in 2012.

* A slew of directors are trying to get into the film. The one that's likely to be chosen is Marc Webb, direcotr of (500) Days of Summer. David Fincher, James Cameron, Wes Anderson and even Neil Blompkamp are also in the running to direct.

* Who is likely to play Peter Parker? None other than Robert Pattison or Tyler Lautner. My spidey-sense is tingling now...for all the wrong reasons.

This disaster could be good if Wes ANderson driected...but I don't know. We'll see come 2012.
