Film Peek - June 2007

Apparently an A-Team Movie has been on the cards, then off, then on, then off since the Mid Nineties. However, right at the moment it’s very much on the cards – so much so that Bruce Feirstein has been named as the writer. He’s written some 007 films, so it’s a safe bet that an A-Team screenplay will be everything it should.

The original series of the A Team featured four mercenaries, on the run for a crime uncommitted. As the shows introduction would say –




The original cast will be replaced, but the new cast are as of yet unnamed. This might seem to be a mistake – after all, who can do Mr T like Mr T? Plus, with the blooming popularity of aged male pop culture stars of kitsch old TV shows (think David Hasselhoff and Chuck Norris) the time is right for a bit of T. However, suckers for tradition might be heartened to know that cameo appearances are on the cards for all the remaining members of the original TV show.

The verdict? If you’re looking for Oscar winning material, miss it. But it promises to be a bit of fun, and should be well worth a look.

COMING SOON - GET SMART - THE MOVE

June 20th 2007 12:02
Get Smart was a 60’s Sitcom about the misadventures of agent 86, Maxwell Smart, and his assistant 99. For those who can’t remember, here’s a reminder.


Fans of the show will be alternately appalled and delighted to know that a big screen remake is on then cards, starring Steve Carroll as Smart, and Anne Hathaway as 99.


If you’d asked me before I saw Little Miss Sunshine, I’d have told you I had no faith in the movie being any good. However, after seeing that Steve Carroll is more than capable of a credible performance, I’m leaving my judgment up to the final product. Let’s hope the screenwriters have delivered.

Since I, the peeker, will be away for a couple of weeks, Filmpeek will be kept updated with the help of some other great writers.

Of course, it won't have the exact same style, but you'll find some interesting thoughts on film, some news and anything related. Keep visiting daily for some different, quirky posts that'll provide some insight on cinema.

David and Brendon they are called. Go get 'em boys!

I'll be back June 25.

What can a mortal guy do all by himself. Only so much, right?

Well, I'm gonna be away for a couple of weeks, so if anyone out there would like to join Filmpeek - great. Of course the interview process is hard, but you'll manage... maybe

SAW IV - POSTER

June 12th 2007 09:11
I always find the posters for Saw amusing. They're kinda smart and creepy at the same time.

This is the first poster for Saw IV, but I can't see IT. The smart thing. If anyone does, help me out. Creepy is there though, oh yes

BRATZ - POSTERS

June 12th 2007 08:59
Even though I personally don't like this, I'm sure it'll be a success to all girls between ages 5-13. And boys between 5-75.

Bratz: The Movie is of course based on the best-selling dolls, and follows the exciting and glamorous lives of Cloe, Jade, Sasha, and Yasmin; the teenage girls with a "passion for fashion"! [IMDB

30 Days of Night

Every year we get a good amount of vampire-movies, but this particular year it seems like they also have big budgets (see I Am Legend). Which should mean they got a good story, but that's of course not always the case.

Even though I pretty much watch every single trailer out there, I rarely get excited about the movie in question through them. And I don't mean I don't enjoy them, I just don't feel like it'll blow my mind.

After some great posters we can now watch the preview trailer of American Gangster. And I must say I'm just a tiny bit disappointed. At least I'm not as excited anymore.

SHOOT EM UP - TRAILER

June 7th 2007 20:26
Shoot 'Em Up has some of my favorite stars in it - Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti and Monica Bellucci. This only is a gurantee we'll get an enjoyable ride.

Other than that, I love the colorful look and action-packed story. Not a lot of pure gun movies these days

I AM LEGEND - POSTER

June 7th 2007 20:12
I apologize to all frequent readers for a very slow week, but there are practically nothing interesting going on and a lot of personal shit occurred. It seems like that's over now.

Will Smith is a great guy with lots of style and talent, that seems to manage his career perfectly fine. And his son's career. His next film is I Am Legend

WAITING... ON A SEQUEL

Waiting... sequel
I'm not really though.

Waiting... had some great laughs, sure, and I loved the style of Ryan Reynolds. BUT. A sequel without him and just cameos by the rest of the cast? It's American Pie 56 all over again

While "stupid" comedies have gotten a lot of appreciation this year (Knocked Up, Superbad), I don't know what to believe about this one.

Hot Rod seems too stupid. The trailer we saw a while ago didn't exactly laugh me out of the chair so

Ocean's Thirteen

Recovering from an incredibly confusing sequel, the third movie in the Ocean's series is approaching a worldwide release. The film has had a screening during this year's Cannes, and yes, critics aren't always to trust, but this time you should.

I don't know about you, but I'm one of those who like Jodie Foster's performances but at the same time am kinda disturbed by them. It's always over the top and a bit arrogant. Maybe you understand what I mean, but probably not.

JOSHUA - POSTER

Sometimes a poster doesn't need to show something scary to be scary. Or creepy. This poster just shows a boy looking at himself in a painting and immediately it transfers this creepy feeling.

Joshua is about to tear his family apart July 6

THE HEARTBREAK KID - TRAILER

June 1st 2007 08:32
The Heartbreak Kid is a Ben Stiller movie and, of course, a comedy. It plays in the theme of the "crazy ex", about Ben who doesn't believe in marriage but gets married anyhow when he thinks he found the right one. Let's just say it isn't the right one. [IMDB]

It seems fun, not a masterpiece, but then again why not just a movie to smile at
