Snitch Trailer

The easiest way to describe my reaction to this trailer can be summed up in one word "meh"

J.J. Abrams to direct Star Wars 7


So as most people are aware by now J.J. Abrams is going to direct the next Star Wars, and as long as he doesn’t send Luke back in time to kill Yoda and negate the francise you grew up with everything should be ok, as annoyingly as it is he does make good stuff even for the fans that still haven’t forgiven him on the way he ended Lost have to agree he is pretty dam good. I still wish he hadn’t blown up Vulcan and wiping out the Next Gen, Deep Space etc timeline regardless on how the good the film turned out.

Olympus Has Fallen

It has been described as The West Wing on speed but in my opinion it looks more like Die Hard on speed and as long as they don't have Gerard Butler jumping onto fighter jets and throwing cars at helicopters that cant be a bad thing. Don't get me wrong Die Hard is a classic but once you develop a character then get them to do stuff they haven't done in the past just seems weird. It looks like a good old fashioned action movie which if they pull it off then fantastic but action movies are tricky to get right but having Morgan Freeman in it is a good start. High hopes for this one a good line up for the cast and a story we might have seen before but with a twist, it looks good. Hopefully White House Down due later this year starring Channing Tatum wont be the same/similar story line because I feel Olympus Has Fallen will out do it in the box office unless it can offer something different.

Iron Man 3

By the looks of the first Iron Man 3 trailer it looks like fans wont be disappointed and lets face it when was the last time Marvel didn't deliver.

Clerks 3

Kevin Smith's Last Film

It seems fitting that Kevin Smith is going to bow out of Directing films (but not making films ref smod co pictures) where it all began. It has been announced that there is going to be a Clerks 3 film. It was understood that Hit Somebody would be Smith's last film but as a Kevin Smith fan I'm happy how fate has intervened and it now seems that Hit Somebody will now be turned into a mini-series rather then a two part film. So lots to look forward to for Kevin Smith fans and a great sign off for Randell and Dante. Planned for release in 2014 it will mark 20 years from where it all began, and what a 20 years it has been from the films (good/bad) to podcasts to live shows it has to be asked has any individual (with the help from his team) produced more entertainment and he isn't stopping yet, for a slacker that man aint' half busy. Heres for another 20 years (hopefully even more)
