Birthday wishes and Beowulf trailer #2

Happy Birthday, Panda!!! I know that your B-day is on the 23rd but I just wanted to make sure that I didn't forget. Let's face it, Panda, if you got free tix to a movie and could find a babysitter I know you would go to the movies more often.

I also wanted to post the second trailer for Beowulf up because it RoCkS!!!!! His rant at the end of the trailer sounds just like the stuff a lot of guys say to themselves right before the sh@t hits the fan! Pride is the Curse.

BEOWULF TrAiLeR #2

ALMOST ANNIVERSARY TIME!!!

For my loyal readers this is a given but for some of you new guys maybe you should look deeper into my blog. This may also explain why I have been wearing the same ring for about a year.

"Tibi [ipso] crede." because I am sure therein lies the higher power

Peace

IRON, FIRE, AND ONE BADASS GANGSTER

The movie season is picking up and I ( as a loyal yet jaded viewer) am actually looking forward to several of the genres best this upcoming year (Be sure to click on the movie names below to see the trailers).

First, let's talk SCI-FI and Marvel. I generally think of comics as fantasy but with the release of IRON MAN I know that sci-fi is going to get a healthy shot in the arm! Robert Downey jr is playing a rather camp version of billionaire & inventor Tony Stark whose life is turned upside down when he is abducted by terrorists. For more info watch the trailer.

Next, let's talk FANTASY and an old legend come to life! BEOWULF!!!! This story seems to be true to the epic poem except for the part involving the alluring Angelina Jolie. Trust me I am not complaining, in fact, I might be drooling (even though I know she used a body double and in the real story Grendel's mom is a hag (lol)). That point aside this has that great classic story feel with all the modern accoutrement that we special effects junkies love.

Finally, let's get real with Denzel Washington in AMERICAN GANGSTER. He is playing Frank Lucas who was both the most powerful heroin kingpin in America and (later) government informant. I love the work that Denzel is doing with Scott Free Productions. They seem to be taking on a wide variety of subject matter. I also love the story of how these two powerhouses met. If I recall correctly it was at the dentist office so always be aware of your surroundings because you never know who you will meet and/or what might transpire.
