2009 Veterans’ Day Movies on TV
A little late to the party, but with the 11th falling square in the middle of the week, doesn't look like they're doing the big weekend marathons this time... Turner Classic Movies dredges up some real obscurities this time around, at least ones I can't say I'm familiar with. Wish I still had my... »
Men Who Stare At Goats
Yeah, I know, I know. I'm so far behind the curve I can't even see it anymore from here... Here's the trailer, anyway. Hopefully I'll get out to see it real soon now (tm). Somehow or another.... Looks damn hilarious, though. Here's the official movie site: http://www.themenwhostareatgoatsmovie.com/ »
Renny Harlin to Take on Russia-Georgia War
Hm, not sure what to make of this. I would think that 1) It's way too soon to make any kind of film out of this that isn't one-sided in some way. Do we really have all the facts here? and 2) Unless he's got a bunch of insiders from both sides of the... »
John Woo on “Red Cliff” and “The Flying Tigers”
An interesting article from JoBlo.com (ha), interviewing director John Woo about a couple of his upcoming war movie projects. The biggest is "Red Cliff"... RED CLIFF is the most expensive Chinese film ever made, and as far as I'm concerned, worth every penny. This story of the Battle of Red Cliff is very familiar... »
Max Manus
Caught this little snippet about a film shown at this year's Nordic Film Festival, Max Manus.... Max Manus fought Adolf Hitler's forces in Finland, then returned home to lead a group of saboteurs to battle them in his homeland. What distinguishes the film is its depiction of Manus as a vulnerable leader and a... »
“Call of Duty” Movie in the Works?
Let's hope not. Having never played the game, I can't comment on that aspect of it, but unless they come up with something that would make it stand apart by itself, I just can't see that ending well.... Trademonk has discovered that Activision has filed a trademark to protect the video game property Call... »
Inglourious Basterds: A Riff Too Far?
I've not seen IB yet, but did come across this bit from Entertainment Weekly. Having not seen it, I really can't comment very much, except to say... Its Tarantino, what did you expect? See #1 Using the '78 IB as a guidepost, again, what did you expect? I just got through (unfortunately) watching Spielberg's... »
Inglourious Basterds Trailer
Yeah Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds launches next week, and besides the fact it has nothing at all to do with the 1978 Italian Inglorious Bastards (note the spelling difference) it looks to be at least entertaining. In that oh-so-special Tarantino sort of way. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. I'll reserve final judgement... »
The New WarMovieBlog
Notice anything different? Yeah so I've changed platforms. The reasons are several, but I think its for the best. I'll be fixing several issues that are present at the moment, such as: Images need to be fixed, working on that Ratings aren't showing on some of the template pages, working on that as well.... »
“Apocalypse Meow” Trailer
"Don't go easy on them, just 'cause they're cute!!!" Apocalypse Meow... at least thats what it'll be called here in the states, for obvious reasons... "Cat Shit One" otherwise. I just don't have words, and can't wait to see it. »
