Rumor: The Hobbit Delayed Until 2012? - Screen Rant

2009-12-07T20:03:00.000Z

Rumor: The Hobbit Delayed Until 2012? - Screen Rant:

"This could either be another piece of false news that Guillermo del Toro or Peter Jackson will soon debunk, or a pretty major downer for us fans: Hot on the heels of Jackson revealing a few days ago that The Hobbit will start filming in summer 2010 – putting it on course for Part 1’s already-planned release of December 2011 – word comes that the adaptation will be delayed a full year, not hitting screens until 2012."

hmmm, I recon it's true as, they aren't filming till the summer :(

Jackson Says Tintin Done & Hobbit Staying 2D | Movie Moron

2009-11-30T14:25:00.000Z

Jackson Says Tintin Done & Hobbit Staying 2D | Movie Moron:

"Any of you folks who regularly visit Movie-Moron may know of my deep-seated hatred for 3D, so it comes as a great relief to me to find out that The Hobbit will NOT be shot in 3D after earlier suggestions it might. “Guillermo wants to shoot in 35mm, old-fashioned film,” Jackson said, “which suits me, because he wants to keep it in the same space as the original trilogy”."

Hmm, me is not too, happy, I want it in 3D.... O well, I guess Del Toro knows what he's doing!

Brian Cox to Play a Dwarf in 'The Hobbit'? :: Samay Live

2009-11-17T16:01:00.000Z

Brian Cox to Play a Dwarf in 'The Hobbit'? :: Samay Live:

"London: Rumours are rife that Brian Cox may play a dwarf in 'The Hobbit'.

Imdb.com reports that there are 13 dwarves in 'The Hobbit', travelling with Bilbo and Gandalf, and the most important of them would be Thorin Oakenshield or Balin. It is not known which dwarf Cox would be playing, but it's hard to imagine an actor of his calibre as one of the lesser cast."

Guillermo del Toro Says He'll Appear in The Hobbit as a Creature « FirstShowing.net

2009-11-11T21:06:00.000Z

Guillermo del Toro Says He'll Appear in The Hobbit as a Creature « FirstShowing.net:

"Although we just ran a big update from Guillermo del Toro on all things The Hobbit last week, we have yet another interesting, and pretty damn cool, update to feature today. Over on The One Ring forums (via SlashFilm), someone translated an interview with del Toro where he said: 'In The Hobbit I will play a small monster. I will transform myself in a small creature, not an important monster, just a 'background' type.'"

Wow, just like Del Toro, can't wait to see it!

Gandalf Has Read The Hobbit Script And Loves It!

2009-11-04T20:59:00.000Z

Gandalf Has Read The Hobbit Script And Loves It!:

"According to McKellen, the scripts were also written to the directorial strengths of Guillermo del Toro, which hopefully will mean we’ll see a brilliantly acted, action packed film with some amazing cinematography and make-up effects. Jackson and del Toro are undoubtedly two of the greatest filmmakers of the modern era, and if anything Sir McKellen said is right, their collaboration will be nothing short of legendary."

Just as I like it!!!

Del Toro is amazing!!!

Movies - News - Rhys-Davies 'won't return for 'Hobbit' - Digital Spy:

"John Rhys-Davies has ruled out appearing in The Hobbit films.

Rhys-Davies, who portrayed dwarf Gimli in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, told Empire, that he has no desire to come back and play Gimli's father Gloin, who appears in author JRR Tolkien's novel on which the new films are based.

'I've already been asked and to be honest with you, I wouldn't,' the British actor said. 'I have already completely ruled it out. There's a sentimental part of me that would love to be involved again. Really I am not sure my face can take that sort of punishment any more.'"

Top 5 Directors We’d Love to Direct More Star Wars Films | Fused Film

2009-10-27T18:39:00.000Z

Top 5 Directors We’d Love to Direct More Star Wars Films | Fused Film:

"1. Neill Blomkamp - You look at this guy and his humble beginnings as a special effects animator for Smallville, Stargate SG-1 and Dark Angel and then his triumphant partnership with Peter Jackson for his feature film debut with District 9, based off his great short film. The guy is a sci-fi guru and his skills in animation combined with his creative writing just screams for a cool Star Wars movie, whether it be original or based off something in the expanded universe. Blomkamp is arguably the best choice for directing 1 or 2 movies in the Star Wars universe."

Brilliant first choice, check out their other 4 coices by following the link!

I'd love to see some more star wars!

Stephen Fry is Writing Peter Jackson's Dambusters Remake? « FirstShowing.net

2009-10-22T19:02:00.000+01:00

Stephen Fry is Writing Peter Jackson's Dambusters Remake? « FirstShowing.net:

"AICN has a report from a reader (which makes me a bit worried about the accuracy of this) who attended a charity event with English actor/writer/comedian Stephen Fry. During the Q&A, Fry apparently revealed that Peter Jackson's Dambusters remake 'was in pre-production' and that Fry himself was actually writing the screenplay. He also said that Jackson had already created (and built?) the Lancaster Bombers down in New Zealand in order to prepare for shooting. No dates were mentioned, but this is a lot information that we haven't ever heard before, which is why I'm both excited by this news and a bit unsure of it being true."

hmmm, do you think it'll work?

not too sure about Fry's abilities myself....

Ivana Baquero

Well, obviously this section is the part that we will be most interested in! And you all know what I’m about to say: SHE WAS AMAZING!!!!!!

Ivana plays a fairly main part as supporting cast, and as a fan, I was quite satisfied with her role!

Ivana show perfect emotion, with her lovely Spanish voice, and just as beautiful, if not MORE beautiful as she was in Pan’s Labyrinth!

Ivana gets to put on some lovely clothes in this movie, and I will endeavor over the coming days to give you a few beautiful screenshots from the movie!

"I’m not so sure. Here are my predictions for what can — and almost certainly will — jeopardize The Hobbit next:

- A man who went to kindergarten with Tolkien will sue the producers for a share of the profits, claiming the Lord of the Rings author plagiarized his books from the man’s contributions to “storytime.”

- Andy Serkis will insist on playing the part of Gollum with the voice of Donald Duck.

- Swine flu will take out the entire New Line staff."

Review: The Soloist

2009-09-29T18:42:00.001+01:00

Movie Rating: 4 Stars

I purposefully avoided this movie over the weekend as it looked excessively boring... But I was quite pleasantly suprised!

SYNOPSIS

The story focuses on Nathaniel Ayers, once a promising cello student at Julliard, but times were hard on him and he was kicked out by society and now lives on the street.

Nathaniel has a very interested story, full of dark secrets, a compplicated mind, and no-one to care for him... To hear more about Nathaniel, I recommend you to watch the movie!

MUSIC

I was slightly dissapointed with this aspect of the movie, as a biopic of a musician I would have expected a good musical score to accompany it, but this didn't really comw up with the goods...

I will say, however, there was a nice compilation of classical pieces that Nathaniel played on his cello, and will keep fan's of classical music happy.

EMOTIONS

This was one of the movie's strong points, and dwelt upon humanity and inter-human relationships.

There is a beautiful ending too, which I will not divulge to you at this present time.

STORYLINE

It's a true story and I'm sure that will be quite sufficient evidence that it must be at least interesting... Well itt kept my attention throughout the movie!

CONCLUSION

don't go by the boring outlook of this movie, once you get in the screen you will be captivated.

Thanks for reading,

Mike Buckingham

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs

2009-09-23T16:59:00.001+01:00

Movie Rating: 3 Stars

everyone knows that the reason Cloudy got to it's possition at number one at the box office was because it was filmed in 3D... But I still love 3D... So I quite enjoyed this movie.

The movie in itself holds no real artistic merit, but is just perfect on the graphics!

SYNOPSIS

A failed scientist fins fame in creating a machine that turns water into food... And the comedy builds on errors that may arise from using such a machine.

STORYLINE

Hey it's a kids movie... Doesn't need a particularly strong plot-line.

GRAPHICS

What would you expect from a 3D movie? It's got excellent graphics!

CONCLUSION

Enjoy the movie but don't expect anything of too much artistic merit.

The Hobbit Series: The Top 10 Bilbo Candidates FanSided

Adam Best has some interesting coices here.

this is his top choice:

1. Jim Sturgess – His star somewhat came into focus during 2007’s Across the Universe, yet he’s not nearly as famous as McAvoy, which is something the filmmakers will likely see as ideal. Much how Elijah Wood became Frodo before our eyes, they’ll want whomever to become Bilbo forever. They won’t want us seeing Mr. Tumnus or Wesley Gibson. I’m also guesstimating that like with The Lord of the Rings series, they might cast Bilbo a little younger than expected. Call it a hunch, but I think after the way Frodo turned out that Del Toro will say the same thing he said about keeping Serkis as Gollum — “if it ain’t broke.” Sturgess has the charisma and vulnerability to pull off a young Bilbo. Don’t be shocked if he nabs the role. He’s gotta be on the shortlist.

Click on the link above to see his other 9 choices!

Dorian Gray

2009-09-11T18:29:00.001+01:00

MOVIE RATING **** (4 Stars)

I was very keen on Ben Barnes in his role as Prince Caspian, and was more than a little excited to see him in his third movie.

Based on the famous book baring the same title.

SYNOPSIS

Dorian Gray is a good-looking young man who sells his soul for eternal beauty.

It is a brilliant illustration of what sinful pleasures bring upon a human.

WARNING

This movie contains some disturbing sex scenes, which can easily offend certain people!

MUSIC **** (4 stars)

A beutiful score and I don't have a clue who wrote it :)

Storyline ***** (5 Stars)

brilliant storyline! Really interesting.

CONCLUSION

If you are a fan of movies with great storylines this is certainly for you!

Review: The Taking of Pelham 123

2009-07-31T19:00:00.001+01:00

Movie Rating: 4 Stars

I think Tony Scott is a brilliant director after making one of my favorite Dakota Fanning movies: Man On Fire... So as you can imagine, I had quite high hopes for the movie, and I certainly wasn't let down!

SYNOPSIS

It is a movie about a terrorist who take hostage some civilians on a train, who will be duly set free in exchange for money!

i know it's not particularly the most original story idea... But this is the movie that really brought the plot-line to life.

Starring Denzel Washington, John Travolta, and Jon Turturro.

Emotions: 4 Stars

The movie is laced with humanity and feeling... It's not a weepy but it won't let your charitable side die.

Music: 3 Stars

It's as much as you need for a movie of this size, but not going overboard.

Scott made a wise decision in using Harry Gregsson-Williams!

Conclusion

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and will readily recommend it to all of my readers

Enjoy!

Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince

2009-07-16T17:06:00.001+01:00

The sixth Harry Potter movie... Does it stand up to the rest?

MOVIE RATING: 4 stars

Well yes I think it does stand up to previous movies... Though it might not appeal to younger audiences as much as the previous.

The movie tends to reflect a lot of the feelinng conveyed in last year's Dark Knight, allowing for a more mature audience.

SYNOPSIS

Well if you had seen the previous movie, you would know that Voldemort was still on the loose... And it would be Harry's job to deal with it... i can't say too much more than that without giving the story away.

MUSIC: 3 Stars

Quite disapointing when compared to John Williams' score on the first 3 movies... But not bad enough that it ruins the movie.

HUMOUR: 4 Stars

Directors have started to realise that audiences love to have a slight spinkling of humour with their movies... And Director David Yates made no exception in this brilliant movie.

ACTING : 5 stars

You couldn't find a better cast in any movie. brilliant acting all round... Especially liked Helena Bonham Carter.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, I thought the movie was really good and quite enjoyable... Perhaps not as well suited to children... But seems to have a lot more content then the preevious movies.

Just a few things I would like for the next movie: more of Helena Bonham Carter's character, more Luna, reintrrroduction of John Hurt... And some more great cameos...

Thanks for reading!

2009-07-13T16:17:00.001+01:00

Monday classic review

Movie Rating: 2 Stars

Every monday at my local cinema, they play a classic movie in the afternoon.. So I had the afternoon off work... So I decided to watch this movie... Not the best in the world, but there were some entertaining parts.

SYNOPSIS

3 transexual entertainers decide to go on a tour of the Australian destert stopping along the way to do a bit of entertaining.
It is mainly a comedy movie and will only appeal to a small portion of movie viewers.

Starring Hugo Weaving, Terrence Stamp, and Guy Pearce.

Storyline: 2 Stars

The storyline isn't particularly the main selling point of the movie... But will nevertheless satisfy the regular comedy watcher.

MUSIC: 5 Stars

The music was the only part of the movie that really stood out to me as "classic" being wonderfully mixed with a nice selection of songs.

Conclusion

The movie as a whole was quite hard to like with the main characcters being quite sexually disturbing... And the whole movie was quite a dissapointment for me. Though the music was brilliant!

Race To Witch Mountain

2009-04-20T19:15:00.017+01:00

It's a family movie, you can pretty well guess from that what the movie's going to be like... That's what I figured anyway before I went to the cinema, and luckily I'm quite a fan of these family fantasy movies, even though we might be getting a bit swamped with them at the moment...

Race To Witch Mountain gave me eveything I expected and wished to see, but nothing extraordinary... perfect popcorn movie in my opinion!

Synopsis

A Las Vegas cabbie enlists the help of a UFO expert to protect two siblings with paranormal powers from the clutches of an organization that wants to use the kids for their nefarious plans

source: IMDb

Starring: Dwayne Johnson, AnnaSophia Robb, Alexander Ludwig, and Carla Gugino Directed by: Andy Fickman

Fantasy Take

Hey it had UFOs and magic in it... that's all you really need for a family fantasy movie

Storyline: 3 Stars

You know... the typical Disney style story, nothing too imaginative, but keeps the viewers' attention throughout...

Graphics: 4 Stars

Some pretty nice graphics throughout... Disney's certainly got the money for all that!

Acting: 3 Stars

No outstanding performances, but the cast are all quite likable

Music: 3 Stars

Music was fair enough, but again, nothing outstanding...

Emotions: 3 Stars

Usual Hollywood stuff, got it's weepy bits scattered here and there!

Humour: 3 Stars

Hey, it's a family movie, it's got to have the usual american jokes!

Action: 3 Stars

Action's pretty nice... (and here I say it again) but nothing outstanding!

Conclusion

It's an excellent popcorn movie, just dn't expect a fine work of art!

Let The Right One In

2009-04-20T19:15:00.015+01:00

I'm sure my readers will appreciate that I rarely give a movie more than 3 stars, and this is only the 4th time in my blogging career that I have given 5 stars, so I'm sure that you wil understand that this movie must be some great revolution in the history of movie making... in fact, I would venture to say it is very nearly the "perfect" movie...

It was with great aticipation that I went to view this movie, after reading that nearly every reputable movie magazine gave it a 5 star rating... I knew for certain that I was in for something amazing!

I had to travel a little way as my home cinema wasn't showing it, but it was well worth it, and I would recommend it to all of my readers, even if you aren't a fan of the Vampire genre!

Synopsis

Oskar, a bullied 12-year old, dreams of revenge. He falls in love with Eli, a peculiar girl. She can't stand the sun or food and to come into a room she needs to be invited. Eli gives Oskar the strength to hit back but when he realizes that Eli needs to drink other people's blood to live he's faced with a choice. How much can love forgive? Let The Right One In is a story both violent and highly romantic, set in the Stockholm suburb of Blackeberg in 1982.

Written by John Nordling, Producer

Starring: Kåre Hedebrant, and Lina Leandersson Directed by: Tomas Alfredson

Fantasy Take

Excellent fantasy movie, yet not too weird as to alienate the avereage viewer...

Storyline: 5 Stars

Brilliant story, based in a perfect fairy-tale style, simple and easy to follow, yet leaving you as if you had had the most filling meal in your life!

Graphics: 4 Stars

Hey, it's not really that kind of movie, but for what it is, the graphics certainly do what's needed of them...

Acting: 5 Stars

O just perfect actors! Especially the little girl (Eli), who was both sweet, but still quite freaky at times!

Music: 4 Stars

Excellent music, though I would have liked a catchy theme tune to hum on my way home...

Emotions: 5 Stars

Excellently emotional throughout, I was completely wrapped!

Conclusion

Well, in conclusion... It's basically perfect... need I say more?

Marley And Me

2009-03-16T20:26:00.006Z

This movie's taken a lttle while to finally make it over to the UK, after being in the States for quite a while before hand, and I was quite excited to see it after hearing that it topped the box office in America...

Synopsis

After their wedding, newspaper writers John and Jennifer Grogan move to Florida. In an attempt to stall Jennifer's "biological clock", John gives her a puppy. While the puppy Marley grows into a 100 pound dog, he loses none of his puppy energy or rambunctiousness. Meanwhile, Marley gains no self-discipline. Marley's antics give John rich material for his newspaper column. As the Grogans mature and have children of their own, Marley continues to test everyone's patience by acting like the world's most impulsive dog.

Written by Ken Miller

Starring: Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston Directed by: David Frankel

Storyline: 3 Stars

Just a simple American storyline, nice and easy to follow!

Emotions: 5 Stars

This is truly the movie's strong point... I think I'd have to say that it was the most emotional ending in the whole history of cinema... people were very audibly weeping at the end!

Humour: 3 Stars

Some really funny parts scattered throughout...

Conclusion

If you like a nice bit of emotion in your movies, you've certainly come to the right place, you bound to cry however hard your heart may be!

Definaely worth the watch at any rate!

Watchmen

2009-03-07T15:00:00.004Z

I'm finding this movie particularly hard to review, it's such a complex movie, and quite incomparable to other movies...

If you are dead sick of the usual Hollywood movies, and are dying for something original, I think you've come to the perfect place, and you can jack the rating up to about a 4 Star or even a 5.

The movie certainly comes across to me as being a thinker's movie, and discusses some pretty hardcore philosophical subjects. But also scattered throughout is some great no-brainer fight sequences...

I'd have to recommend you read the book before you view the movie, as I went without previouly reading the book, and found the storyline a bit too disjointed.

I went to the cinema hoping to see something quite simular to 300, as it is the same director, but it's something quite different, but nevertheless, I think they chose the perfect director for the movie... I still prefer 300, but that's just my own personal preference...

Synopsis

"Watchmen" is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the "Doomsday Clock" - which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union - is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion - a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers - Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity... but who is watching the Watchmen?"

Written by T-Hen

Starring: Malin Akerman, Billy Crudup, Matthew Goode, Jackie Earle Haley, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Patrick Wilson Directed by: Zack Snyder

Fantasy Take

Some great characters, quite original, but I reckon, like my previous review of Franklyn, that this movie is just perhaps a little too weird and doesn't make enough sense...

Storyline: 2 Stars

I think this movie could have a great story if it were a little bit easier to watch for the general viewer... Storline's just a little too disjointed for my liking...

Graphics: 5 Stars

Superb graphics, you really need to watch the movie to understand how good these graphics are!

Acting: 3 Stars

All reletively unknown actors... They did pretty well though...

Music: 2 Stars

There were one or two great musical moments, but there were a few parts where I just didn't think the music conveyed the right emotions...

There is also one little annoying part where the music seemed to tell the audience that the movie was over when there was about half an hour yet to go, conveying a false ending, which repulsed my senses to the real ending.

Emotions: 3 Stars

There are some pretty emotional parts in this movie, but it's not the selling feature...

Action: 4 Stars

Like in 300, Zack Snyder is well able to carry out some great action sequences, and for folks like me who enjoy a bit of blood and gore with their movie, you are in for a treat!

Random Observation

Mr Manhatten's penis is bigger than mine!

Conclusion

Although there are some great parts to this movie, I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, just to people that are dying for something new and different!

Notes on: Run Fatboy Run

2009-03-04T21:01:00.005Z

This is a new idea, so your comments will be much appreciated.

The general idea is that I take notes as I'm watching the movie, just random things that enter my head... Bit weird, but I saw it in the Empire magazine, and thought it was quite a good idea... praps a bit scattered to start with but I hope that it will gradually take shape in future reviews!

Has to be good, has a clip from Lord of The Rings in it!

Ha ha I love those Hobbit ears, I think I should walk 'round with some of those... Do you think it'll suit me?

Lol he's just like me at the gym :D I don't feel too bad now! (beginners for you)

Ahh the Fratellies get a bit in the soundtrack! I think they're great!

The Little boy's quite a good actor, I find him quite amusing and funny...

There's actually some great songs in the soundtrack... pretty nicely done

and perfect, to round it all up, there's a nice emotional ending!

Final Rating: 3 Stars

Push

2009-03-02T21:41:00.025Z

I absolutely loved this movie, and it is with reluctance that I rate it with 3 stars, but as ever I prefer to rate movies for their artistic value rather than how much I enjoy them...

Synopsis

A group of young American ex-pats with telekinetic and clairvoyant abilities are hiding from a clandestine U.S. government agency. They must utilize their different talents and band together for a final job enabling them to escape the agency forever.

Source: IMDb

Starring: Dakota Fanning, Djimon Hounsou, and Chris Evans Directed by: Paul McGuigan

Fantasy Take

Extremely interesting legend, a number of different kinds of psychics with varios powers, quite simular to lasy years' Jumper, but way better in my opinion, let's hope for more sequels to come!

Dakota Fanning's got great hair too :)

Storyline: 3 Stars

Pretty simple story... nothing special.

Graphics: 4 Stars

Excellent graphics, taking into account that the movie was made with a fairly low budget

Acting: 3 Stars

Dakota Fanning's performance was exceptional and deserves 5 stars (and an oscar), Djimon Hounsou, was particularly good too, but the rest of the acting was on a whole fairly average...

Music: 3 Stars

Music was good, but not amazing...

Emotions: 3 Stars

I wouldn't have said that the movie was particularly emotional, but Dakota was given a short period to win the hearts of the viewers!

Action: 4 Stars

Some pretty good fight scenes, certain to keep the guys amused for a while...

Conclusion

I loved the movie, and think it's one of the best movies ever, but I won't say it's for everyone, it's more of a genre movie...

Franklyn

2009-03-02T21:41:00.024Z

REALLY weird, I didn't have a clue what was happening throughout this movie... I just put it down to another Brittish mess-up....

Synopsis

Preest is a masked vigilante detective, searching for his nemesis on the streets of Meanwhile City, a monolithic fantasy metropolis ruthlessly governed by faith and religious fervor.

Fantasy Take

It's weird, and yes, that is part of the fantasy genre, but I think it's way too weird... The city of Meanwhile looks really cool though as a fantasy town!

Storyline: 1 Stars

Seriously, I didn't have a clue what was happing in this movie... it was all like giberish to me...

Graphics: 4 Stars

I must admit I was suprised at the quality of the graphics, which was the original reason why I watched this movie after viewing a magnificent trailer.

I think the graphics is really the movies redeeming point...

Acting: 2 Stars

I must say I was rather disappointed by Bernard Hill's acting in this movie, although Eva Green's performance made up for it in my opinion!

Music: 3 Stars

The music was rather exciting in parts, though not at all a masterpiece...

Conclusion

What a bunch of nonsense... but pretty nice graphics anyway... needless to say, I'm not going to recommend this movie...
