Michael Caine, who’s been playing in the last batman movies as the butler Alfred, has decided to become a vigilante himself! Well, at least according to the movie trailer of Harry Brown, an upcoming drama thriller movie directed by Daniel Barber:
HARRY BROWN
Plot:
“Harry Brown (Caine) is an elderly widower and ex-marine who has lived to see his neighborhood overrun by violent gangs, drugs and crime. When his best friend Leonard (David Bradley) is brutally murdered and the gang leader responsible walks free, Harry finds himself snapping. Soon, his desire for revenge leads to the unlikely vigilante facing up to the young thugs, with terrifying results.”
That old man got no superpowers, but he’s damn cool! It kind of reminds of Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino, but this time, the ol’ man is gonna kick them all! Is there a trend for senior vigilantes because of Population ageing?
The movie Harry Brown will be released early November in the UK, but no US release date yet. Let’s hope that Lionsgate will it soon!

Couples Retreat – What is he doing?
Plot:
Four Midwestern couples embark on a journey to a tropical island resort. While one of the couples is there to work on their marriage, the other three set out to jet ski, spa and enjoy some fun in the sun. They soon discover that participation in the resort’s couples therapy is not optional. Suddenly, their group-rate vacation comes at a price. What follows is a hilarious look at real world problems faced by all couples.
After watching the second clip of Couples Retreat I will never take a yoga lesson!

Two new posters of Bad Lieutenant, the upcoming remake movie directed by Werner Herzog and starring Nicolas Cage and Eva Mendes, have surfaced online:

BAD LIEUTENANT
The only criminal he can’t catch is himself.
Plot:
““Terence McDonagh (Nicolas Cage), a homicide detective with the New Orleans Police Department, is promoted to Lieutenant after he saves a prisoner from drowning in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. However, during his heroic act, he severely injures his back and is put on prescription pain medication. A year later, Terence – struggling with his addictions to sex, Vicodin and cocaine – finds himself in the battle to bring down drug dealer Big Fate, who is suspected of massacring an entire family of African immigrants.”
The early reviews of Werner Herzog’s Bad Lieutenant are rather positive. Some even state that this is Nicolas Cage’s best role since a while. Well, from the trailer of Bad Lieutenant I was already hooked. That positive buzz just confirms that I definitely have to go watch Bad Lieutenant when it will be released in theaters!

Plot:
“American astronaut Captain Charles ‘Chuck’ Baker lands on Planet 51 thinking he’s the first person to step foot on it. To his surprise, he finds that this planet is inhabited by little green people who are happily living in a white picket fence world, and whose only fear is that it will be overrun by alien invaders… like Chuck!”
Love the newspaper headline: “Dog attacks Alien’s Friend! Are our animals sensing the evil plans of aliens?”
Actor Mark Wahlberg is training hard for his latest role as Boston boxer “Irish” Mickey Ward in the movie Fighter. You may watch below a behind-the-scenes clip of The Fighter showing Mark Wahlberg during a training session:

Christian Bale had to diet for the film and he looks just like some ugly anorexic: Continue reading »
Don’t be afraid of that damn Hole, that’s Joe Dante’s latest film. Here’s the latest poster of The Hole in 3D:
(Click on the poster to enlarge it.)
Plot:
“The Hole, filmed in 3D, centers on Susan (Teri Polo), a mother who moves with her teen sons to a rural house where the three are forced to face their fears after discovering a bottomless hole in the basement.”
I guess if there was a beautiful woman instead of kids on this movie poster of the Hole, there would be more matter to make jokes…
