Ghostbusters 3 update... kinda.



If this ever comes to be, I'll be seeing it no matter how bad it looks.

Love Mathew Gray Gubler, think that would be an excellent choice. This could be a good transition if they can get the entire team back on board. They can stick to what made the first two great, while throwing fresh faces in to carry it on. I just hope they make it for the right audience.

Maybe I shouldn't, but I trust Ackyroyd and Ramis... as long as they are a part of this, I don't think they can go too wrong. What I worry about it is how this has been in development hell for a while and that a studio will get too involved and **** this up.

I ended up seeing, "Our Idiot Brother" this weekend. While it definitely wasn't necessarily the comedy I thought it was going to be - I enjoyed it. Paul Rudd was excellent and the movie revolves more around his self-involved three sisters than it does the "idiot" brother. The character isn't so much stupid as he just sees the world in a slightly different way - which I think Rudd found a way to portray without cloyingly pandering to the audience like they sometimes do with those kinds of characters.



I hesitate to call it a dark-comedy and more like a "dramedy"... Don't know if I'd recommend making a special trip to the theater JUST for this, but if you like Rudd - it's probably worth a rental or netflix down-the-road. TJ Miller (Cloverfield, She's Out of Your League) also has a pretty funny cameo in the movie as well.



Also a warning, you pretty much get a goatse from Steve Coogan - which was... pretty gross.

Guillermo del Toro will likely be directing a new version of Beauty and the Beast starring Emma Watson. I would assume with him as the director this will be a much darker telling of the story. It has some serious potential to be awesome.

Horror fans:

Do not see Don't Be Afraid of the Dark.

That bad? Is the the new Del Torro one? That's a shame, I like him.

It did not look good. Though I am not a big horror fan anyway so no sweat off my filmgoing back. Nevertheless I keep impatiently tapping my fingers waiting for him to stop putzing around with crap and kiddie movies and producing shit and get back to picking up where some brilliance was left off with Pan's Labyrinth.

Agreed. Pan's Labyrinth was brilliant... I read a spoiler of "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" and it sounded pretty awful... but still sounds better than that Shark movie.

It had promise, but really just was not scary at all. It was almost comical... hard to describe without giving it away.

Definitely worse than the gift then.... and that was not a good movie.

I am with you on GB3. It may be bad bad cheese, but I will love every minute of it. Kind of a guilty pleasure I guess.



Speaking of bad cheese, the Three Stooges Movie set for next year and I know I will see it. Even with the cheese laden cast that includes Chris Diamantopoulos (Moe), Sean Hayes (Larry), Will Sasso (Curly), Larry David, Jane Lynch, Snooki (and other JS peep), Jennifer Hudson, and Sofia Viagra.

Am I wrong for thinking that looks like a tired rehash of a classic story?

Nope.

Watched No Country For Old Men for the second time. I enjoyed it as much as the first time. The acting is superb.



For fun watched Hot Tub Time Machine. Good for some stupid humor but thought it would have been better.

del Toro did not direct the film, Troy Nixey did, though del Toro produced the film.

 

[mikita's helmet]

Agreed. Pan's Labyrinth was brilliant...

THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE was too.

I watched some films this weekend.



Prom - my 10 year old daughter thought it was manna from heaven. I don't think my brain has recovered yet.



The Eagle - Had potential, but fizzled the longer I watched it. Wait for it on cable/netflix



Hanna - Easily my favorite of the 3. Nice action sequences.
