REVIEW: Knight and Day (2010)

July 14th 2010 17:39
knight and day review

Tom Cruise is back in this action comedy with Cameron Diaz. The trailer promised nice action and some genuinely funny moments, wich is what you get, but way less than anticipated.

To mix action with comedy is quite hard because you have two genres that in theory are opposites and need great balance to achieve something truly awesome. Take Lethal Weapon for instance, or even A-Team. They separate action and comedy without compromising either. Knight and Day doesn't, resulting in a bland mix of genres that fight each other instead of complimenting.


However you get an entertaining time and it's a real summer flick for all the melting people out there.

On the set of THOR

June 10th 2010 22:31
Thor clip

You know they make superhero movies these days right? Like a lot. Thing is, movies based on comic-books are much more popular than before, people take them seriously and the budgets are off the roof, which leads to big A-list names.

Now, Chris Hemsworth who plays the title character in Thor might not be that well know, but it is alright when you got Natalie Portman and Anthony Hopkins by your side. In this behind the scenes clip I get the feeling Thor might not be dirty enough, but Chris seems to be a cool dude so who knows... Take a look at the clip after the jump.

Four minute clip from A-Team

A-Team clip

A-Team is out this week and I had the good fortune to see it early. It's a very entertaining movie, perfect to start of the summer, even though it's a bit too... much. But hey, it's A-Team, what do you expect?

Here's 4 minutes from the movie to give you a taste in case you're not sure what it's all about. This scene introduces Murdock, the crazy one.

scott pilgrim trailer

Universal Pictures promised a new trailer to the immensely popular comic book movie Scott Pilgrim vs. The World if the movie's Facebook-page reached 100 000 fans, something they followed up when it recently did.

Having seen the trailer I don't really know what to think. If I was a comic book character I'd probably have a big "wow" above my head and a very confused expression on my face. It's like nothing I've seen before but at the same time it might be just a bit... silly?

Take a look yourself and let me know:

guillermo del toro hobbit

The Mexican director Guillermo del Toro has worked on the follower to Lord of the Rings for a serious amount of years by now. A project that has suffered delays and other difficulties during production. The producer Peter Jackson has tried to calm everyone in interviews, stating that everything is in order and no one needs to worry, however that doesn't seem to be the case.

Del Toro has decided to leave The Hobbit, something he confirmed himself the other day:
"After nearly two years of living, breathing and designing a world as rich as Tolkien’s Middle Earth, I must, with great regret, take leave from helming these wonderful pictures."

That doesn't include his collaboration with Jackson in making the movie since he after all has spent at least two years in creating the fantastical world that would be The Hobbiy (and probably in some extent will be).

Having said that it's a shame we never get to see the finished movie as Del Toro had envisioned it, but at the same time maybe it's the right move on his part. He has been forced to turn down several projects that might have been even more personal to him than the franchise that is The Lord of the Rings.

Finally he can finish some movies instead of just planning them.

Jerry Bruckheimer is kinda desperate to create the movie that can take over his Pirates-franchise, and with the less successful Prince of Persia he really hopes that'll be The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.

Jon Turteltaub directs this magical movie with Nicolas Cage in the leading part, something they're used to since National Treasure together. Take a look at this behind the scenes footage and let me know what you think:

Four minutes from Knight and Day

knight and day clip

Whatever you say about Tom Cruise there's no denying in the fact that he knows his stuff. In his new movie, Knight and Day, he has some amazing action scenes, all with perfect comedic timing.

Cameron Diaz in the female role is looking good too, dragged into a dangerous mission she soon find herself a bit too comfortable sitting backwards on a motorcycle and shooting with both hands.

Take a look at the clip from the movie after the jump.

Life as We Know It - trailer

May 27th 2010 16:25
life as we know it trailer

Two single adults become caregivers to an orphaned girl when their mutual best friends die in an accident.

Katherine Heigl is kinda connected with awkward comedies and a lot of girls will be stoked to see Duhamel, but other than that, the trailer to this comedy doesn't exactly give me high expectations. Why do two adults need to live together in order to take care of a child? Anyone heard of separated homes?

Morning Glory - trailer

morning glory trailer

A hotshot television producer is set the challenge of reviving a struggling morning show program, despite the constant feuding of its high-profile anchors.

Rachel McAdams is good as the hard-working but likable girl, and Harrison Ford seems to enjoy parts that are odd and a bit crazy... Morning Glory has opens at fall.

shanghai trailer

A '40s period piece which revolves around an American expat who returns to Shanghai in the months before Pearl Harbor due to the death of his friend.

In Shanghai we see jeffrey Dean Morgan and John Cusack. It's an early trailer so the quality isn't the best but this Casablanca-reminding movie looks exciting.
