D- Wars!

A new movie is coming out on September 14th that I have not heard anything about until I saw an ad for it. That's weird, it just jumps out of nowhere. It is one of the few big effects movies that is not a sequel this summer/fall (or a remake). The preview has me all excited about it, though. It has a cheesy pretense, dragons attack cities, about the oldest story in the book. But, the effects look really cool. It is a live action movie, not a cartoon thing. Similar action as Transformers, but substitute giant lizards for robot cars. P.S. couldn't find the trailer I saw, here's a foreign one. Some parts are really cool.

The Dark Knight

Christian Bale has done two movies this year, Rescue Dawn, and a western movie with Russell Crowe, 3:10 to Yuma. Russell Crowe is also doing two movies this year, that and American Gangster with Denzel Washington. I think his last movie was Cinderella man, before that Master and Commander. But the most looked forward to movie of Bale's is the Dark Knight. Here is the preview.

Movie update

Anyone here like Casino Royale? Well, next year (or possibly november '07 highly unlikely) Daniel Craig is back in black with Bond 22, or that's the tentative title. Not much else on that except that it is supposedly the first ever direct sequel to a previous bond movie. It seems as though another Spider-man flick is inevitable, but not likely to include Raimi or Maguire. Hulk open date is June 27, preceded by Iron Man on May 2.

Heavy hitters

On August 7th, Barry Bonds made baseball history. Bonds broke Hank Aaron's record, with 756 home runs. Aaron broke Babe Ruth's record in '78 with 715 homers. Also, a new Hulk movie is coming out next year with a whole new cast including Edward Norton as Bruce Banner and Liv Tyler as Betty Ross. The film is directed by Louis Leterrier. The villains for those of you who know them, are Abomination and The Leader.

The ultimatum on Bourne

Well, I saw the Bourne Ultimatum yesterday, August 3, and I have to say that it is possibly the best of the three. This is one of the only trilogies where I was not disappointed by any of the three. It seems as if every Bourne movie outdoes the last in almost every aspect, yet all are good. If you have not seen any of these movies, I suggest you do. If you have seen the others, see the new one. Note: the release date for Halo 3 is September 25 in America and 26 in Europe, not the 16th as I said in June.

Lucasfilm's new stuff

To accompany the man in the hat's new adventure next summer, is a Lego Indiana Jones video game! The preview for it shows similar gameplay to Lego Star Wars, and it is also made by Traveler's Tales(TT games). Additionally, fans of the Star Wars Clone Wars series, a new, more realistic series in 3-D has been revealed. The trailer for both of these can be most easily accessed at starwars.com. Of course, next year Indiana Jones Lego playsets will be in stores. Also, here is a good lego mario video.

Heroes in '08

X-men fans, listen up! Wolverine the movie is starting production in November, and is supposed to come next year. Hugh Jackman is playing as Logan, with Gavin Hood directing the film. Other superhero movies next year are Iron Man with Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, and Dark Knight with Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne and Heath Ledger as Joker.
