Movie Phat RANT #1

More Originality Please!!!!!

Is it me or is Hollywood playing it so safe that all we get is reboots, remakes, sequels and prequels? I understand the budgets are rocketed sky-high but come on!! I am writing this article because when I saw in one of my favorite web sites comingsoon.net that they are making a movie about Bazooka Joe, that was it! That was a kid with a patch over his eye to sell bubble gum!!!

Can Hollywood make something new that the public likes? Millions of screenwriters are rejected for they have an original idea but Hollywood is too busy trying to make a quick buck with our money. I do enjoy remakes, sequels, and reboots but sometimes you gotta be creative!!! To make a sequel you have to make something fresh first! Fans should protest or boycott to Hollywood to come up with new ideas. If you want repetition watch television!! I thought movies were a “higher art.”

The Lost in the Headlights Look---Fans on T4

TERMINATOR: SALVATION OR T4

A BIG Summer Movie in May

 Action hounds (woof, woof) this is the movie for you!!! Lots of things blowing up, great CGI effects and “the revitalizer” himself Christian Bale steps in as John Connor trying to save the world from Skynet and the machines. Plot not really important if the you know the series but here goes.

In 2018 humans fight against the robots and Connor has to free Kyle Reese--Anton Yelchin (Chekov in Star Trek) from prison in Los Angeles. Along the way they meet a guy named Marcus played by Sam Worthington who is very important to the survival of Connor. The acting is good especially by the always intense Christian Bale and newcomer Sam Worthington is quiet good. A lot of critics and fans don’t like the rapper Common in the movie. I think he did okay. It is not his movie.

The child actress Jadagrace as Star Kyle’s assistant is great!!! She doesn’t talk but she speaks volumes!!! I think there will be a T5 if this movie is a success which I think it is for the ending leaves you wanting more. What else I like was John Connor asked the question: “What makes us human?” It is pretty thoughtful for an action movie considering what is going on in the world today.

Bottom Line: If you like action-go! If you like Terminator movies-you GOTTA GO!!  

Note: “Terminator 4: Salvation is not box office; “Night of The Museum 2: Battle Of The Smithsonian” can’t beat a family film I guess.

Fans Speak Out on New Star Trek

BEAM ME UP, SCOTTY!!!!! Star Trek Fever

I saw “Star Trek” and it is very good. The story is about time travel and an evil guy named Nero. The plot isn’t as interesting as the younger actors who play the classic “Star Trek”characters.

ROLL CALL:

Chris Pine as James T. Kirk---not bad as the handsome cowboy and playboy captain.

Zachary Quinto as Spock---logical choice.

Karl Urban as Leonard “Bones” McCoy---he was excellent as the scruffy doctor. It is like DeForest Kelly is alive again it’s creepy. Best casting I ever seen!!!

Simon Pegg as Montgomery Scott (Scotty)---great choice. The actor seem to enjoy his role very much.

John Cho as Hikaru Sulu---not bad but I liked the old Sulu George Takei.

Anton Yelchin as Pavel Chekov---his accent is very thick. He was just okay.

Zoe Saldana---as Noyta Uhura-beautiful black woman. She does the best she can do with the role.

Eric Bana as Nero---the villain and I was disappointed. He was intense and had promise as a bad guy but lets face it he is no Khan played by the late, great Ricardo Montalban-not even close!!!

Bottom Line:  You don’t have to be a fan to enjoy it but it’s better if you are a fan and if you don’t like change please don’t go!!!
