Made on a budget of just $2,000,1945A is a short film by Ryan Nagata that plays out an alternative scenario in which the Nazis unleash super futuristic weapons on the Allies just as they are about to defeat Germany. Well made an interesting and fun watch to a “What if?”situation (similar to Inglorious Bastards in some ways),props to Ryan for fully stretching that money to the fullest. (Found on The Awesomer)
The Good,The Bad,The Weird just goes to prove that Hollywood isn’t the only place that can make a Western movie that people want to see. From the looks of it,director Kim Jee-Woon’s latest movie to be brought Stateside on April 23 looks set to be awesome fun to watch despite it being a Korean Western with cowboys,horses and train robberies. Fantastic stuff!! (Found on The Awesomer)
Being honest here,while there was a lot of buzz about a new Tron movie,since the clip was shown about 2-3 years back,I always felt that this was either 1.) Never going to make it to release;or 2.) Going to be a small time movie,of little story line or interest. This is honestly the first trailer that I have seen of the movie that disproves both points. The movie has a set release date with Disney releasing the movie in 3D (thanks Avatar for the more expensive tickets) and IMAX 3D,and there looks like there will actually be a really cool setting with a decent plot behind the movie. I know I’ve marked the date in my Google Calendar.
I don’t know how I feel about Legend of the Guardians. Done by the sam epeople who did Happy Feet,I thought that movie was awesome because it combines penguins and amazing song+dance sequences,this movie is missing that extra touch that I really enjoyed.
Epic director Ridley Scott is back at it with his former movie Gladiator’s star,Russel Crowe,in his latest movie,Robin Hood. A much grittier version than Disney’s rendition,and more serious than Mel Brooks envisioning,this movie stars Russel Crowe as Robin Hood (obviously),and Cate Blanchett as Lady Marian,this movie is supposed to look behind the fairy tale of Robin Hood to the story of Sir Robin Hood of Locksley,Earl of Huntington,who Robin Hood is based on. I really enjoyed Gladiator,but didn’t enjoy Scott’s Kingdom of Heaven as much. I got the feeling that he made it too similar to Gladiator,and was just cashing in on some of the things people enjoyed with his first movie. So all I can do is hope that he doesn’t repeat it with this movie,because I don’t know about you,but I love the Robin Hood character,and will be quite upset if he manages to ruin this movie.
