Saw the trailer last night (it was part of the previews for The Lion King).

My first thought was, “Judi Dench looks like the Cowardly Lion in this movie.”

My second thought was, “Wait a minute. As far as I’m concerned, people don’t get creeped out when they see the Cowardly Lion.”

So… I don’t get it.

Looks like the initial reports of Fisher playing Elvira were wrong.  Leslie Mann will be playing that part instead. Fisher is still attached, but she’s in fact playing a different role, most likely Ruth.

Release has been pushed back to February 2020 in order to accommodate demands to change Sonic’s design.

I absolutely agree. I can see her as becoming either the next Deborah Kerr (she has similar looks and the same voice) or the next Robin Williams (her ability to change voices/accents rivals that of Robin). Both ended their careers with 4+ nominations to their name, plus one win (although Kerr’s win was an Honorary Oscar, not a competitive one).

1. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

2. La La Land

3. Chicago

4. Slumdog Millionaire

5. Gravity

6. The Shape of Water

7. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

8. Mad Max: Fury Road

9.  The Aviator

10. Hugo

I actually think they would be better suited to play Ruth, the second wife of Dan Stevens’ character.

Elvira will basically be trolling the other three characters for the entire film. Fisher is more than capable of taking that to the nth degree.

Speaking of Fisher, be prepared for category fraud if this gets Oscar attention. Although she’s…[Read more]

What the actual HELL have they done to the “Prince Ali” musical number???

The outrage over Sonic’s design has been loud enough to prompt a Twitter response from director Jeff Fowler.

The design’s being changed before release. Stay tuned!

First trailer is here. Holy CRAP.

The last time that happened was in 1992, when both Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon were nominated for Best Actress for Thelma and Louise.

The last time that happened and one of the two nominees won was in 1985, when both F. Murray Abraham and Tom Hulce were nominated for Best Actor for Amadeus, and Abraham won.

Meanwhile, there’s been one o…[Read more]

I’m not looking forward to this movie unless it’s a “modern twist” version. And I’m saying this as a big fan of both the Coen Brothers and Denzel Washington.

We already had a major adaptation just a few years ago (in 2015, starring Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard), and it was pretty good.

But, it is a Coen Brothers movie, so odds are…[Read more]

Disney should do a live-action remake of The Emperor’s New Groove… based on the original unproduced version titled Kingdom of the Sun.
