Dawn of First Class

Breaking Dawn and X-Men: First Class have gotten release dates. First up, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn will (presumably) be one film after all. That film will be directed by Bill (Dreamgirls) Condon and will be relased November 18, 2011, going up against Happy Feet 2. I don't think any film will move because of Twilight entering the frame just because the Twilight films tend to be front loaded (i.e. New Moon dropped 70% in it's second weekend)

X-Men: First Class will be released June 3, 2011, a mere two years following X-Men Origins: Wolverine. At the helm this time will be Matthew (Kick-Butt, Stardust) Vaughn will direct this installement. If you want a fun fact, Mathew was approached to direct X-Men 3 back in late 2004!

Which Is The Real X?

It seems a SECOND X-Men movie has been said to be next. Despite X-Men: First Class having a director and Deadpool having a finished script, a second Wolverine film has something those films don't: a start date. The film is set to start filming next Spring and have a script and casting done by the end of 2010. Hmm. My question is where does First Class come in? Maybe it's right after it?

TIme will tell.

First Class Is Up Next

The next X-Men film has been announced: X-Men Origins: First Class. Even better, Bryan Singer (director of X-Men and X2 and above) will direct. Good news for the franchise and defenitly will give us some quality action come 2012. Jamie Moss is writing a script right now. Exciting.

Ryan Reynolds is Excited About Going Green

Ryan Reynolds (above) is super-excited for The Green Lantern. In that he'll star as Hal Jordans or the Green Lantern in other words!! He'll also be starring in the Deadpool spin-off as the title character. He says he's seen the Green Lantern costume and it was defining moment of 2009.

Personally, he's a great actor that I really feels has vast potential. He was great in Wolverine and I think he'll be exceptional as The Green Lantern. I'm very excited.

The Green Lantern comes out on June 17, 2011 and Deadpool will be out in 2012/2013. Superhero films just keep getting better. In fact, look for a post about the imprevious Iron Man later today!!

Blu-Ray Review: X-Men Origins Wolverine

The X-Men franchise is an odd one. It started ok with X-Men, then became classic with X2, then good with X-Men 3 and now it's wonderful. This may not be as good as X2, but it's still good.

This time, Wolverine has a lost lover and learns that there is more to the mutant world than he ever thought..

Hugh Jackman is wonderful in this and I think he does some great work here, as does Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. I wish Tyler Kitsh could have done more as Gambit, but that is what sequels are for, I guess. Danny Huston seems slightly wooden as Stryker, the evil mutant handler, but the same can't be said for Leiv Schrieber, who is excellent all the way through.

The visuals are ok, I think some needed more work. The main reason I liked this film though was because it has a really bad guy being the one you root for. He is an animal and he can't deny it any longer. Wolverine is the perfect embodiment of hat evil part of the human soul.

Rating: B+ or 7.7 out of 10
