Everyone has a breaking point.
Tonight she reaches hers…
This poster is quite creative, take time to decipher the torn agenda with the blood spilled over:
– Tuesday: Dance practice
– Wednesday: Mechanics class
– Thursday: Kill or die!

Dwayne Johnson is taxi driver turned nanny for young human-like aliens in Race To Witch Mountain, an upcoming science-fiction movie by Walt Disney Pictures. Here below the latest international trailer of Race To Witch Mountain:
In the movie Race To Witch Mountain the taxi driver played by Dwayne Johnson aka the Rock would have expected green little aliens with antennas instead of teenagers on the run.
What about you? How do you imagine an alien encounter? Like in the movie Race To Witch Mountain?

An international poster of Monsters vs Aliens, upcoming 3D animated movie by Dreamworks, has popped up via Russian site Filmz: (Click on the poster to enlarge it.)
The blue monster (or is it an alien?) from Monsters vs Aliens is called bob and is voiced by Seth Rogen. I bet he used some Pineapple Express to get into the character’s head!

Robert Pattinson, the 107-years-old-but-still-virgin vampire from Twilight, is playing the lead role of Dali in Little Ashes an upcoming drama shedding light on the closet relationship the famous surrealist painter may had have with his male friends. The film is directed by Paul Morrison and is starring Javier Beltran, Matthew McNulty, Marina Gatell and Arly Jover Little Ashes should be released in Spring 2009, no official date yet.
Here below two clips of the Little Ashes movie:
Plot:
“In 1922, Madrid is wavering on the edge of change as traditional values are challenged by the dangerous new influences of Jazz, Freud and the avant-garde. Salvador Dali arrives at the university; 18 years old and determined to become a great artist. His bizarre blend of shyness and rampant exhibitionism attracts the attention of two of the university’s social elite – Federico Garcia Lorca and Luis Bunel. Salvador is absorbed into their decadent group and for a time Salvador, Luis and Federico become a formidable trio, the most ultra-modern group in Madrid. However as time passes, Salvador feels and increasingly strong pull towards the charismatic Federico – who is himself oblivious of the attentions he is getting from his beautiful writer friends, Margarita. Finaly, in the face of his friends’ preoccupations – and Federico’s growing renown as a poet – Luis sets off for Paris in search of his own artistic success. Federico and Salvador spend the holiday in the sea-side town of Cadaques. Both the idyllic surroundings and the warmth of the Dali family sweep Federico off his feet. Salvador and he draw closer, sharing their deepest beliefs, inspirations and secrets, convinced that they have found a kind of friendship undreamt of by others. It is more that a meeting of the minds; it is a fusion of souls. And then one night, in the phosphorescent water, it becomes something else…” (Source: IMDb)
There are two interesting quotes related to this movie that are worth a read. The first is from Dali denying ever entering a relationship with his friend Lorca:
“He was homosexual, as everyone knows, and madly in love with me…He tried to screw me twice… I was extremely annoyed, because I wasn’t homosexual, and I wasn’t interested in giving in. Besides, it hurts. So nothing came of it.”
Salvador Dali
And the second quote is from Scriptwriter Philippa Goslett justifying her decision to depict the affair between Lorca and Dali as fact:
Having done a huge amount of research, it’s clear something happened, no question… When you look at the letters it’s clear something more was going on there….It began as a friendship, became more intimate and moved to a physical level but Dalí found it difficult and couldn’t carry on. He said they tried to have sex but it hurt, so they couldn’t consummate the relationship.
Philippa Goslett
(Scriptwriter of Little Ashes)
If Dali was stopped only because he was afraid to hurt, I hope he learned about lube eventually… Can be useful for straight relations too actually!
By the way the movie takes its title from Salvador Dali’s 1927-28 painting Cenicitas (Little Ashes). It was originally called The Birth of Venus, before being changed to Sterile Efforts and then finally Cencita:

Maybe the relation between Edward and Jacob in twilight was of the hurting kind too before Bella came in? Joking. Robert Pattinson’s performance in Little Ashes shows that this actor is more than the only product of twilight: he was talented before the romantic vampire film and probably has a long movie career ahead of him. Don’t forget about the movie Little Ashes when it’s released!

Also a first synopsis has been unveiled for tron 2, er, the movie TRZ I mean:
“After being transported into the surreal landscape of a mainframe computer to destroy an intruder, a programmer finds himself allied with the leader of a rebellion against a corrupt cyber-entity.” In the original Tron, the programmer Flynn (played by Jeff Bridges) was transported into the computer world. He joined with Tron, the leader of a rebellion, to fight a “corrupt cyber-entity” as well.
The plot would hint that the dark side of tron has taken over following his victory in the first tron movie. Could be a nice plot but I’d rather see the movie titled Tron 2….
The role of Goku is played by Justin Chatwin. But don’t expect the Goku from the manga: Justin Chatwin’s Goku is more likely to be a tamed version. If I was bold enough I’d even say smallvillesque… A stark example of this movie being a let down is Goku being described as a young teenager going to high school, yeap that’s the Smallville effect in action!

Take a look to those two new TV spots of Gran Torino, upcoming movie directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Ahney Her and Bee Vang besides Clint Eastwood himself:
In a neighborhood without boundaries one man will draw the line!

GRAN TORINO
There seems to be much more action than what I have first expected in the movie Gran Torino! Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood) is as determined as the Dirty Harry!

Keanu Reeves is such an Adonis that when he blinked the Earth Stood Still! Don’t believe me? Then check this new clip of The Day The Earth Stood Still that aired during The Shield Finale:
I’ll tel my wife that Destiny will be calling me on January 21, 2009: bugging me during the premiere of Lost Season 5 will be strictly forbidden! Yeap, I’m kind of addicted to this show, the couch potato in me is damned found of Lost…

Viggo Mortensen (who is also starring in The Road) is interpreting the lead role in the movie Good, a movie exploring the life of a normal German citizen who is embroiled in the Nazi scheme without really understanding the consequences… The movie Good, based on the stage play of the same name written by C. P. Taylor, is directed by Vicente Amorim. It is starring Jason Isaacs and Mark Strong besides Viggo Mortensen. Good is expected to be released on January 1, 2009.
Below the first official movie trailer of Good
A devoted father, a brilliant scholar, a lifelong friend
There are moments that change our lives forever
There are choices that make us who we are
There is a point of no return…
Viggo Mortensen, Jason Isaacs
GOOD
Plot:
“The rise of national socialism in Germany should not be regarded as a conspiracy of madmen. Millions of ‘good’ people found themselves in a society spiraling into terrible chaos.
John Halder (Mortensen) is one those “good” and is a decent individual with family problems: a neurotic wife, two demanding children and a mother suffering from senile dementia. A literary professor, Halder explores his personal circumstances in a novel advocating compassionate euthanasia. When the book is unexpectedly enlisted by powerful political figures in support of government propaganda, Halder finds his career rising in an optimistic current of nationalism and prosperity. Seemingly inconsequential decisions lead to choices, which lead to more choices… with eventually devastating effect.”
I think I’m becoming found of Viggo Mortensen and his movies! His acting in Good sounds really credible. It makes the story damned real and makes you feel the dilemma the character is facing. An inner struggle that people are sadly still experiencing nowadays, just think of Kossovo, Darfur and others…
And to quote IMDb: “Good is film about then, which illuminates the terrors of now.”

Many are craving for a spin-off movie dedicated to gambit, but I’m not fan of the character. The idea of a stand-alone Gambit movie with Taylor Kitsch in the lead role would make the thing even less appealing… It would be definitely better if they keep their financial resources for Wolverine 2.
So let’s focus on a real Marvel hero: Wolverine!
If by any chance you know some Fox executives tell them to forget about the Gambit movie, and bring Wolverine 2!

A new poster for Valkyrie, upcoming World War 2 movie directed by Bryan Singer and starring Tom Cruise as Colonel Stauffenberg the German officer who unsuccessfully tried to assassinate the evil Hitler:
(Click on the poster to enlarge it.)
The target is Hitler
The plan is…
VALKYRIE
Based on the unknown true story
There are some missed opportunities throughout History for sure! Still, Operation Valkyrie, even if unsuccessful, is worth a movie: it gives a more tangible ground to the fact that Germany was not all Nazi.

The first Wolverine is maybe not yet out but get ready for Wolverine 2. In a recent interview given to MTV (here) Hugh Jackman, who plays the role Logan aka Wolverine in the upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie, has talked about the direction a Wolverine sequel may take:
Below a transcript where he talks about what should be done in the Wolverine movie sequel:
“The most intriguing thing to me was the Japan story. I love the Japan story. I wanted to do the Japan story from around X-Men 2. Can you just picture Wolverine in Japan with the triads and the samurai? It’s just genius. Comedically and dramatically, I thought, ‘This is awesome!’ But how can you do that before you explain his origins? If we tried to mix the origin and Japan together, it wouldn’t do justice to either. So you can tell by the answer where I’d like it to go.”
Hugh Jackman
I totally agree with Hugh Jackman: the Japan plot sounds damned appealing! I really want this japan story to go through for the Wolverine sequel.
