Since a lot of you guys write me and ask me what I think about this movie and that movie, I figured I could aswell post a short list of movies, that I watched recently and what I thought of them.
Since I don't have the time to write detailed reviews and sum up the storylines, I just give a rating from one to ten. One being pretty shitty and ten being on of my all-time favourites (hardly ever given).
If you don't know the movie, click the link and do some research for your own. You lazy ass!

According to IESB Christopher and Jonathan NOLAN and DAVID GOYER have started writing the script for next BATMAN flick. Although it has yet to be confirmed officialy, IESB claims:
IESB was told by an extremely reliable source that the project has already gone into the writing stage with Christopher Nolan, Jonathan Nolan and David Goyer all hard at work.Of course no details about the plot and possible villains are known so far. As soon as there are any new informations, you'll find the here.

We've double checked and we are definitely hearing the script is being written as we speak.
EMPIRE ONLINE has some pretty neat b/w style WATCHMEN PORTRAITS.
Check out Roarschach:
More of this can be founde here.
I'm not quite sure if this is supposed to be on the net already, but hell... who cares? I loved CRANK and I never thoght, they would make a sequel, because after all, the first one would be hard to top. But someone at LIONSGATE thought "fuck that, let's do another one" and obviously they did.
Check out the CRANK 2 trailer, that just leaked. But beware: "That kind of language is not gonna fly on tv"...
Good news folks! It seems as if the feud between WARNER BROS and 20th CENTURY FOX came to an end. WATCHMEN will be released as scheduled in March (in the US that is...). Check this out:

Warner Bros acknowledges that Fox acted in good faith in bringing its claims, which were asserted prior to the start of principal photography. Fox acknowledges that Warner Bros. acted in good faith in defending against those claims Warner Bros. and Fox, like all Watchmen fans, look forward with great anticipation to this film’s March 6 release in theatres."

In case you haven't noticed: There is an ongoing feud between WARNER BROS. and FOX about who owns the distribution rights for the upcoming blockbuster WATCHMEN. Without going into too much detail, the bottom line is: FOX SUCKS ELEPHANT BALLS!
Lloyd Levin, one of the producers of WATCHMEN now published 'an open letter' to give the world an insight on whats going on. Pretty interesting stuff. Here's a snippet:
[...]
From my point of view, the flashpoint of this dispute, came in late spring of 2005. Both Fox and Warner Brothers were offered the chance to make Watchmen. They were submitted the same package, at the same time. It included a cover letter describing the project and its history, budget information, a screenplay, the graphic novel, and it made mention that a top director was involved.And it's at this point, where the response from both parties could not have been more radically different.
The response we got from Fox was a flat "pass." That's it. An internal Fox email documents that executives there felt the script was one of the most unintelligible pieces of shit they had read in years. Conversely, Warner Brothers called us after having read the script and said they were interested in the movie- [...]
You can read the whole letter at Hitfix.com
MICKEY ROURKE (SIN CITY, THE WRESTLER) and SAM ROCKWELL (CHARLIES ANGELS, FROST/NIXON) are in talks for roles as villains in the IRON MAN sequel. ROURKE is supposed to play Crimson Dynamo a heavily tattooed Russian arms dealer who battles the superhero in a nuclear-powered suit of armor that can control electricity.
ROCKWELL is considered to play Justin Hammer, a multibillionaire British businessman and a rival of industrialist Tony Stark. The flick will of course be directed by JOHN FAVREAU (again). Kickass!
In case you're not yet hyped, check out the new japanese trailer of WATCHMEN with a lot of new footage!
WATCH:
LIAM NEESON will hurt you. No he will hunt you down first. Than he will hurt you. He will shoot you right in the face and than feed you to a filthy dog. Than he will cut the dog open to get your leftovers and he will feed them to a living dinosaur that he held captured in his living room. He'll then kick the dinosaur in his nuts. That's how badass LIAM NEESON is!
TAKEN is the best action flick I've seen in years. This movie is so badass, that FOX is messing with its release date for over a year now. It's probably to dangerous to be shown to the public.
TAKEN will be the fastest 90 minutes of your life. Its so fucking great it makes flicks like CRANK and THE BOURNE TRILOGY look like a walk in the park. You know... like... boring? It makes them look boring... BECAUSE ITS SO GREAT! GET IT?!
Anyways check out the new badass poster, it's promoting the 31th January release of the flick. Let's just hope TAKEN get's the boxoffice it deserves!
And yeah... SMAC is BACK, like LIAM NEESONS FISTS!
