Jurassic Park 4 is Green for GO!


While promoting The Adventures of Tintin at Comic-Con in San Diego, Steven Spielberg teased us with some news on the long-awaited Jurassic Park 4.

As previously reported, there was rumors of the series being rebooted, but by the sound of it that's not the case anymore.

Steven Spielberg announced:

"We have a story, I can happily announce right now. We have a writer…. Hopefully, we'll be making Jurassic Park IV in the near future. In the next two or three years."

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG, I'm so excited. So does that mean that he'll be sitting in the directors chair again. Or will he just simply stay as producer. Either way, I'm excited.

People, Jurassic Park IV is officially in-development! :)

Trailer: Glee 3D: The Concert Movie



Haven't decided if I'm going to be seeing this or not.

Factors to consider:
-I saw it live when it was in Chicago.
-It has behind the scene footage.
-It's in 3D.
-3D/movies in general are expensive.

…3 negatives and 1 positive.


I'll probably end up seeing it. :)

DVD Tuesday! New releases! 7/19

-Limitless

Yup, that's it.

Trailer: The Dark Knight Rises



Not much to go on. It better be epic. Anne Hathaway better get a Oscar nomination. And Joseph Gordon Levitt better be amazing and have a huge part!

Movie still has a stupid title...

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 at #78 on IMDb's List


Don't worry, don't worry, a movie review for Part 2 is coming. But this is also important.

As of right this second, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, which was released 2 days ago, is on IMDb.com's Top 250 Movie List. No other Harry Potter film is currently on it.

It is currently ahead of other amazing films like Singin' in the Rain, Pan's Labyrinth, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Gran Torino, Jaws, Black Swan, Up, Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Die Hard, The Great Escape, Batman Begins, The King's Speech, No Country for Old Men, The Wizard of Oz, The Lion King, Slumdog Millionaire, Gone With the Wind, and many, many others.

It has a 8.7 / 10 star rating currently with 17,708 votes. I find this to be such a big deal because things don't typically stay where they are for very long. It could continue to go up if people give it a 9 or 10 star rating, or down if they vote any other way. I would say in one year, it will rest in a comfortable place due to people having already voted whether that be on the list or not. I'm hoping it does. So please vote!!

One thing we don't have to worry about is any Twilight movie making it onto the list.

And on top of the IMDb thing, Harry's been breaking some records. It currently holds the largest Friday gross and highest opening weekend… as of right now… the weekend isn't over. Even before the movie opened in the US, it had broken the record for most sold-out theaters.

So if you haven't voted on IMDb.com, vote! If you haven't seen the movie yet, see it!

**UPDATE**
As of 7/18/11 - #67 with 8.6 star rating and 34,400 votes.
As of 7/19/11 - #69 with 8.6 star rating and 41,000 votes.
As of 7/20/11 - #73 with 8.6 star rating and 45,800 votes.
As of 7/21/11 - #75 with 8.5 star rating and 49,700 votes.
As of 7/23/11 - #79 with 8.5 star rating and 52,700 votes.
As of 7/28/11 - #99 with 8.5 star rating and 65,400 votes.

Sherlock 2 Is Almost Here!


December 2011!

I hope it's as good as the first one. And I hope that Rachel McAdams plays a large part as well. It wasn't a sure thing that she would return for the sequel, but they said she would make an appearance for sure.

MI:4 - Ghost Protocol Looks Good!



Love me some Jeremy Renner! Tom Cruise is good too, minus his spiritual beliefs.

Check out the trailer for Mission: Impossible 4 - Ghost Protocol. Looks very action packed. I hope Jeremy doesn't turn out bad. That would be sad.

Please, Disney/Pixar -- No More Toy Storys

You need to quit while you're a head.

But look who I'm talking to. Disney… They see money and they'll do anything to get to it regardless of reputation.

Tom Hanks is currently promoting his new movie Larry Crowne with Julia Roberts. While being interviewed, he said that he thinks a fourth Toy Story is coming and they're working on it now.

I thought the 3rd one was going to be the last one, Disney? Even the toys seemed to think it was over. They were (spoiler alert) past on to a new owner and left Andy. Audiences were sad to see it end. It was a bittersweet ending and it was perfect. We've excepted that Toy Story was concluded, but now you're saying you want to make another? Ugh.

Where is Pixar in this? I was under the impression that Pixar was against sequels, but now all of a sudden they seem to be loving them.

Disney/Pixar movies are known to be the best in animation. At least that's what I think. They all have original and solid stories and do extremely well at the box office. Every single Pixar film has been nominated for an Academy Award (only 8 were nominated for Best Animated Feature because that category was added in 2004, they won 6; 2 Pixar films were nominated for Best Picture).

Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, WALL-E, Ratatouille, and Up are all the original works of Pixar. Each year, Pixar puts out one film. This year Cars 2 came out. Next year, Pixar will be putting out another original called Brave about a Scottish warrior. Then Pixar will be putting out a prequel to Monsters, Inc. entitled Monster University, as said, another Toy Story, and they're throwing around the idea of an Incredibles sequel. Personally, I didn't care for Cars. It's my least favorite and it had little potential - story-wise - for a sequel. I always thought that The Incredibles would have successful sequels. The first movie even sets up for one.

I'm getting off track. Regardless, Pixar puts out great movie. I trust them to do amazing sequels like the Toy Story's. I just don't want that to be their thing. Sequels can only go so far before they become old. One of the reasons that Toy Story 3 did so well was because there was a 11 year gap between 2 and 3.

Disney needs to stop focusing on the merchandising aspect and thinking with their wallets. I understand that's how business works. But eventually, things get old and over done. I don't believe Toy Story is that way since Toy Story is forever, but Toy Story had an amazing conclusion and should be left alone. If they do choose to continue, it needs to be done tastefully.

Thanks for reading my ramblings. :)

Jurassic Park May Be Rebooted


I did enjoy the third one, but I'd pick the Rex over Spino any day.

So rumor has it that the Jurassic Park series may be rebooted after years of wondering if a fourth one will ever be made.

Apparently, Steven Spielberg has been having secret meetings with a writer from I Am Legend to brainstorm ideas on how to reboot the series. It's possible that they're looking for a new storyline completely instead of redoing the first movie which is based off the book.

Personal thoughts…

Hmm… To be honest, I'm leaning more towards the sequel. The sequel, however must be very thought out. JP3 worked, but it seemed to be like a side story away from the main series. Personally, I would like another movie with John Hammond in it and I want the story to be around him and the science of the dinosaurs like the first two. Not something where people crash on one of the islands and need to escape. We have cell phones now… it's just not realistic anymore (and you can't use the no service, dead battery, or dropped in water excuses… that's cliché).

A reboot would work only because, by the time the movie is released, it'll be 10 years after the previous films release. Meaning that it follows my rebooting rule of 10 years between series. However, I feel as though making a reboot (or in other words a remake) of Jurassic Park is like remaking Jaws, Star Wars, or E.T. They're classics that shouldn't be messed with. For me, the reboot would have to have a completely different title in order to not be confused with the iconic original.

Thoughts?

Teaser Trailer for Alvin & The Chipmunks 3



Yay! And a Titanic spoof. You know this is going to be good! ;)

Percy Jackson 2: The Sea of Monsters is a Go!


After questioning whether or not the first one was good enough for a sequel, we've learned today that Fox is committed to making the second Percy Jackson book into a movie.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters has gone into production with a hopeful release date in 2012, which is surprisingly soon. Logan Lerman will be returning as Percy Jackson (since he lost to Andrew Garfield for Spider-Man) and Harry Potter 1 & 2 director Chris Columbus will be stepping down to allow Diary of a Wimpy Kid director Thor Freudenthal to give it a shot. Columbus will stay on as a producer.

It wasn't a sure thing for this movie to be made. The first one was released to mixed reviews and just okay numbers. Eventually, it did make $226 million internationally with only a $95 million production budget. Those seem like good numbers until you look at the US domestic gross which is only $88 million. Typically it depends on how well you do in the US before you decide on whether to make a sequel or not.

Another factor that make a sequel questionable was that they altered the first movie from the original book to a point where important things were left out and will make a second movie hard to understand without clarification.

MTV Should Change 'Movie Awards' Title to 'Twilight Awards'



I'll get right into it.

The MTV Movie Awards used to be a fun, entertaining awards show where, unlike the Oscars, the nominees are the most popular and funniest films of the year. It was just a fun show that young people can vote for and they also have performances and premieres of movie trailers and exclusive scenes.

Now, we all know my feelings on the Twilight movies. I hate them so clearly I'm biased. I acknowledge that. But they also suck, like they are terrible movies. Critics and regular movie-goers would agree. The only people who feel they should be nominated for Oscars are those biased in favor of the Twilight movies.

It all started in 2009 with Twilight. They were nominated for 6 awards, winning 5 of them. One of which, they had two nominations in one category. And Robert Pattinson won Breakthrough Performance Male… uh, no MTV, him playing Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter would be his breakthrough performance.

New Moon had a slow year the following year with only 4 nominations. But lucky for them, they won all the awards they were nominated for.

This year, Eclipse was nominated in 6 categories. In two of those categories, they had multiple nominations (mostly because K Stew whores herself and kisses both Taylor and Robert). Out of the 6 categories they were nomiated for, they won 5 losing only Best Breakout Star.

I should mention that for the past 3 years, the Twilight Saga has taken home the highest award of Best Movie. Yeah… it beat out amazing movies like Avatar (Oscar Nominated Best Picture), the Harry Potter series, Inception (Oscar Nominated Best Picture), Iron Man, Slumdog Millionaire (Oscar Winning Best Picture), The Dark Knight, The Social Network (Oscar Nominated Best Picture), and Black Swan (Oscar Nominated Best Picture).

I understand that the movies win because they were the most voted for, but they're being voted for by teenage girls multiple times a day while masturbating to pictures of Edward or Jacob while reading Twilight fan fiction and wearing plastic vampire/werewolf fangs. Twilight is also one of those things that you either are obsessed with or don't care about, like Justin Bieber.

MTV, having Twilight win everything is very risky. It can either make or break your show. Personally, I think the MTV Movie Awards have lost what little credibility they had by allowing Twilight to take over. …They win everything, they constantly focus all camera attention on the 3 cast members (one of which is camera shy and uncomfortable to watch -- that would be the girl with the personality of a wall), they premiere the trailer at the end of the show just to keep viewers (that shows that the show couldn't do well on its own).

With Breaking Dawn: Parts 1 and 2 (don't get me started on the unnecessary 2 parts) coming out this year and next year, it's needless to say that I will not be watching 2012 and 2013's MTV Movie Awards. If MTV had a soul, they would be a lot of focus on the final Harry Potter movie. Harry has been around for 11 years and has gotten little recognition. Over the past 10 awards shows, Harry Potter has only been nominated 18 times and won twice, both going to Tom Felton the past two years for Best Villain. So, in basic terms…

Harry Potter Series - 10 awards shows - 18 nominations - 2 wins - one movie left
Twilight Saga - 3 awards shows - 19 nominations - 14 wins - two movies left

And don't give me that "clearly that means Twilight is better" because it's not. The Harry Potter series has been nominated for 9 Academy Awards and has an average IMDb.com user rating of 7.4 / 10 stars. The Twilight Saga has zippo Oscar nods and an IMDB.com average rating of 4.9 / 10 stars.

Honestly, I don't know how this rant became a debate of Twilight vs. Harry Potter. My focus was Twilight and MTV's Movie Awards. I hope I made my point. Basically, MTV, I'm starting to think Twilight pays you to let them win. Either that or you need to improve your awards show and regain your credibility.

Okay, I'm done.
