The Last Airbender getting terrible reviews...

SMH... I had high hopes for this movie, but it seems like M. Night Shyamalan has dissappointed again.. He hasn't made a good movie since signs.

Decision on new Spider-Man very soon

I'm not too sure how this new Spider-Man will be. Obviously Sony/Columbia Pictures have faith in it. They’ve finally drawn up a list of potential Spideys according to the Deadline.

1. Logan Lerman star of Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief
2. Aaron Johnson Star of Kick Ass
3. Anton Yelchin
4. Andrew Garfield
5. Jamie Bell
6. Alden Ehrenreich

Whoever they choose to become the new Spider Man has some big shoes to fill. the Director of 500 Days of Summer has been hired to bring this re-webbing to cinemas by summer 2012 and in 3D. The script has been typed up by Jamie Vanderbilt with shooting set to commence later in the year.

So who’ll play the webbed wonder? It’ll be very interesting to say the least. It seems like Jamie Bell is the front runner but my bet is on Logan Lerman...

Joseph Gordon-Levitt to play The Riddler?

I think it would be great for Gordon Levitt to play The Riddler in the UNTITLED BATMAN 3 movie. Another person I can see playing the Riddler is Sam Rockwell. Who do you think would be a good fit?

Peter Jackson to direct the Hobbit?

Already credited as the producer, it seems Jackson could be willing to direct.

It's the news all fans of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, that he's in talks to direct the two planned Hobbit movies, following the departure of Guillermo del Toro.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Jackson is in negotiations with studio Warner Bros and its subsidiary New Line to fast-track the two movies into production. The aim is to bring them into cinemas in 2012 and 2013. He has not yet agreed to take the job, however.

Del Toro left the project last month after its predicted production period stretched from an initial three years to at least six, though he had a major part in penning the screenplay. Jackson had previously been listed as a producer.

Toy Story 3 Review

It's hard to believe that it's been 15 years that Disney and Pixar Animation Studios released its first "Toy Story." With its third and final installment, Woody and Buzz, along with the rest of the gang are all back and have come full-circle in "Toy Story 3."

Synopsis

Andy, owner of Woody and the gang, is all grown-up and heading off to college. Because he is all grown-up, playing with his toys has not been on his main agenda, and the gang has been subjected to an old toy chest. Along with other toys that remain, Sheriff Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), Jessie (Joan Cusack), Rex (Wallace Shawn), Ham (John Ratzenberger), and Slinky (Blake Clark, replacing the late Jim Varney) and Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head (Don Rickles and Estelle Harris), Andy packs up his things to go to college and has to decided with toys are to be donated, put in the attic, thrown-out, and which are coming with him.

Woody is chosen to go to college, while the rest of the gang is chosen for the attic. After being mistakenly "thrown-out," the gang found their way into the donation box headed for Sunnyside Daycare with Woody on hand to try to convince the gang that Andy did not throw them away.

Feeling rejected by Andy, Buzz and Jessie lead the rest of the toys to their new lives at Sunnyside Daycare. Initially, the daycare, led by headed by Lotso the stuffed bear (Ned Beatty) and a Ken doll (Michael Keaton) looks like a great place where the gang will be loved and played with again, but in true "Toy Story" fashion, things turn bad quickly.

Woody escapes from Sunnyside, but runs into toys that have previously lived in the daycare and are now owned by a little girl. Once Woody hears of the "real" Sunnyside, the race is on for Woody to save his friends, and get them back safely to Andy's house before he leaves for college and realizes that he and the gang are missing.

The Bottom Line

For a rated-G movie, it can be quite dark and somber and feels as though the movie is a bit long. It is a real tear-jerker for new fans and especially the old fans that have been with the franchise for all these years.

However, the animation is crisp and clean and the colors are vibrant and eye-popping. I suggest seeing this movie in 3D. Overall, "Toy Story 3" is a movie is a great tale about family, the power of friendship, loyalty and about maturity and letting go. It is a feel-good story that is heartfelt and manages to combine a charming children's story with a mature theme that captivates audiences of all ages. Disney and Pixar add another great movie to their belt and did a great job in providing closure to the "Toy Story" 15 year trilogy.

Inception Early Review

Inception Early Review: Rolling Stone Goes FirstPeter Travers gives a 3 1/2 star review of Christopher Nolan’s Inception in Rolling Stone. The review is not online yet. But The New York Post’s Lou Lumenick found a hard copy on a New York newstand, and posted the bullet graph:

“The mind-blowing movie event of the summer arrives just in time to hold back the flow of Hollywood sputum that’s been sliming the multiplex. ‘Inception’...will be called many things, starting with James Bond Meets ‘The Matrix.’ You can feel the vibe of Ridley Scott’s ‘Blade Runner’ in it, and Nolan’s own ‘Memento’ and ‘The Dark Knight.’ But ‘Inception’ glows with a blue-flame intensity all its own. Nolan creates a dream world that he wants us to fill with our own secrets. I can’t think of a better goal for any filmmaker. Of course, trusting the intelligence of the audience can cost Nolan at the box office. We’re so used to being treated like idiots. How to cope with a grand-scale epic, shot in six countries at a reported cost of $160 million, that turns your head around six ways from Sunday? Dive in and drive yourself crazy, that’s how.’‘

Most Disappointing Movies of 2010... so far

4. Nightmare On Elm Street - This movie just disrespects a cult classic....

3. Clash Of The Titans - A movie portrayed to be fill with action.. the Action scenes were subpar at best.. the story was very slow moving

2. Brooklyn's Finest - 3 completely different stories that have absolutely nothing to do with each other, except for the fact they walk by each other near the end of the movie....just stupid...

1. Robin Hood - The biggest flop in my eyes so far....
