Down the Rabbit hole

Once again, another fairy tale has brought to life by hollywood. I see no, original screen play already. Its either sequels, prequels, trilogies, base on a manga, graphic novel, even the mythology movies has been remaked and a lot of movies are booting up.

So anyway, i was meeting a client yesterday at the mall 20minutes away from my house. They treated me for dinner, discussed business and by 9pm i was done. That was my schedule yesterday. Since its freaking hot at home with no AC only an electric fan, i decided to watch Alice in Wonderland. I have been raving on about Tim B's alice in this blog of mine before anyone here in the philippines actually cared about it.

So, alice is now 16, went to a party she didn't even know that it was her engangement party. So she ran away with an excuse of I've got to think about it, and down the rabbit whole she go. Its a typical fairytale sequel. Hero called back, hero forgot memories, hero saved the day. It was soooo disney. And here I was actually expecting that it was the Return to Wonderland Graphic novel that Tim Burton is doing. Well, i through that hope out right the window when i knew Disney is behind it.

The usual trio, where there is Burton, there is Depp and there is "sorry she has such a long name and hard to pronounce for my tongue" the wife of Burton which is a good actress to. And lol the bimbo white queen. She was funny on her own way. The red queen reminds me of myself.... hahaha spoiled brat, OOOOOOoooFFFFF with THEIR HEAAADDDDSSSS!!!

*sigh* but alas, it was not what i was expecting it to be. Having disney taking up Alice in Wonderand... i see that burton's dark and gothic touch was lost. I was expecting it, specially Depp was there and his wife.

Oh well, anyway, ill be expecting alot of Alice characters in the next cosplay conventions because of this movie.

I'm still working on a custome to be the red queen... lol not the disney version, i prefer the porn version... hahahahah

Here Comes... Johnny!!!!

Public Enemies, its more like Batman meets a serious Captain Jack Sparrow. lol. I have to admit I wanted to watch this movie is because I wanted to see Johnny Depp in big screen and I just realize i prefer him to be in roles that are not so normal. hehe. The movie itself is a drag, there are boring parts. Christian Bale? *sigh* as i was watching him act in the movie as the police detective going after Johnny depp, can't help thinking of another actor I know who, whatever role he portrays he always have one face, one expression on his face and that actor is... Keanu Reeves. lol.

Ok, Ok going back to the movie. The story line is your typical gangster movie. However, the movie looks like it was running in low budget. (but then again it could be some kind of directing style that they wanted to portray in public) The screen or the shots are like taken by home video cameras. The panning and the screening of the scene is like someone is documenting the events happening in the movie. Its like one of those reality cop series we watch in the telly. I think if it weren't for Depp and Bale, the movie won't even get to be on the top 10 list in the box office. Favorite scene though is when Johnny Dillenger (played by Depp) steped into the chicago police department unnoticed or rather unrecognized. He even went up to the section of the building where the team who was specially assembled to capture him resides. He walked right into the office where he saw pictures of his fallen friends in crime are being posted on walls with a stamp that says deased and his only picture which doesn't have the deased stamp yet. He even talked to the bunch of officers who were deep into listening who is winning the horse race. It was amazing and brave of him to do that. SPOILER ALERT! In the end of the movie, the way Johnny D. died is somewhat a suiside in his side. He knew the cops where there waiting for him, but he still went to it. I think in the end he couldn't just quit on what he did best. Even after all his friends and allies are iether died or selling him out to the police. He chosed to be shot, he chosed to be dead. He had a death wish, what a waste of life.

DRUM ROLL PLEEEEAAASSSSSEEEEE..!!!

here we are ladies and gentlemen, the first trailer out of Tim Burton's Alice and Wonderland....

From 300 sequell, to the warcraft movie.. to the teaser trailer of Tim B's Alice in Wonderland...

It looks like hollywood is still at its sequel mode. It's almost 3 years since 300 has been shown through cinemas and have become a big hit. and since then rumors about a sequell have been floating in the movie world. Recently, it has been known that Frank Miller is just about done in the first draft for the graphic novel sequel. But there is still no official news who will will be the screenwriter and director of the so called sequel movie of 300. but fans are hoping that it would still be Zack Synder.

In Comic-Con, the Green hornet black beauty car is finally unveiled. It's also reported that they are still looking for a KATO. For those who has seen green hornet series back in the 60s Kato was played by Bruce lee. So anyone in mind who could be best to play as kato? Green Hornet's side kick?

If you are into computer games you would be familiar with Castlevania. James Wan one of the two makers behind the Saw and the director of Dead Silence and Death Sentence. He will be co-writing and directing Castlevania ad the producer will be Paul W.S. Anderson. It is still not clear if this movie would be in CGI or would it be a live action movie. But one thing i'm looking forward to is it looks like hollywood will focus on its gothic storyline that I most love in Castlevania. Here's to hoping that hollywood won't ruin my views in castlevania.

Tim B's Alice in wonderland teaser trailer is out and i have diffenately waited for this. I am a huge Tim and Johnny fan. but looks like disney has blocked the trailer stating that it is not suppose to be out. as usually Disney is being a party poop. According to the once you saw the trailers, some people might not like the movie. Well duh.. you wouldn't expect a rated for kids alice in wonderland directed by TB. Until now it is till a great wonder why this is under disney. And I still say that TB should have made his alice in wonderland according to the graphic novel "return to wonderland."

Now Sam Raimi, if you know him, he directed evil dead and spiderman movies will be directing a movie base on the world of warcraft. Mmmm.. this has been my favorite computer game. Fell in love with arthas and the leach king. I am wondering how this movie will turn out. However the script to this movie is still on its work. However, it is claimed to be an epic movie since Legendary and Blizzard entertainment producing it and having Warner distribute it, Not only will the spiderman director will direct this movie but they also got Charles Roven into the mix (his the producer in the dark knight). So I wonder what will the DOTA fans and the world of warcraft fans will think of this. However, just like castlevania i am not yet sure if this will be a CGI movie or a live action movie.

and now looky here, Alice in wonderland is not yet out in the thesters and a new movie is set out to be made by Tim Burton with friend Johnny Depp. "Dark Shadows," a 1966-1971 horror series full of vampired, werewolves, demons, zombies and those paranormal people. (hmmm sounds like a world where Anita Blake grew up.) TB said he will be working with this once alice in wonderland is done. But the leading role is already crowned to his best friend johnny depp.

So, that it is for now folks about the news that are stirring hollywood these days. There are so many more movie up dates. I just write about the once I look interesting to me. Besides, why would I promote something that it isn't worth the time and money watching in the big screen. :P

o.0 Pictures of Johnny Depp are out people in Alice and Wonderland

Ever since I have stumbled into the art work of return to wonderland graphic novel, I have been getting hits by an alice in wonderland movie directed by Tim Burton. Mr. Burton has been one of my favorite directors next to Tarantino, woo, Backhaimmer and Speilberg. And what facinates me that almost all movies that Burton directs wiether its live or animated Johnny Depp and his wife is always in it. And They are good at it. So anyway, when I found about this movie I expected that Mr. Burton did a movie about the graphic novel of Return to Wonderland, which I thought I missed and was disperately searching for the Dvd of it. Then only to find out that its still on the making and its under Disney. (x.x) When i read disney, all my hopes went up in smokes. It will be impossible for Disney to commision a Return to Wonderland movie, this graphic novel is like the adult version of Alice in wonderland. So digging further i was able to find out that Mr.Burton is indeed making the classic alice in wonderland from where Disney left off years ago in the animation version. This time Alice is in a victorian party not falling asleep under a tree while reading a book. It has been writen in US Today, that the Mad Hatter (Mr.Depp) Welcome's back to Wonderland, is given that this happened years after she had her adventure in wonderland as a kid. So ofcorst, being the director makes the movie intering, having mr.Depp in it makes it more Facinatingly Interesting. As I have mentioned in my c blog this movie will be out in 2010 and I will diffenately watch this in the big screen. A lot of people has commented that this Alice movie will be having an air of creepyness because its Tim Burton with his usual acomplish Johnny Depp and his wife Helena Bonham Carter. On the other hand the White Queen will be playes by Anne Hathaway. Mia Wasikawska will be the girl that will play Alice. There are plans to ad on CG animations and motion capture creatures.

Just recently US Today has released the first look on one of the major characters in the moive.
















(from L - R)

Depp -Mad Hatter
Carter - Queen of Hearts
Hathaway - White Queen


The movie will be released in 3D, which means there will be an IMAX version to it as well as the ordinary 2d movie experience. I hope our local IMAX theater will get this straight. I don't want to waste nearly 500 bucks expecting the movie i'm watching is 3d only to find out its just in 2d and the screan is not even 180 degrees cieling to buttom like THE REAL IMAX theaters in the u.s

To sum it all up... I will diffenately watch this movie. ^_^
