The Green Hornet - trailer

Seth Rogen plays the lead in Michael Gondrys 'Green Hornet' reboot. It would have been released in later this year but the studio decided to do a bullshit 3D conversion, and push back the release date to January 2011! What a waste of time.

Haven't I seen this before?

With two Mall Cop themed films at the cinema (Paul Blart:Mall Cop & Observe and Report*) released within a few months of each other, the website 11points.com has dedicated a list of films that followed a similar format.

Way to go Hollywood!

*To be fair to Seth Rogen, his looks the better of the two films.

Ghostbuster 3 - cast rumours

Recent reports suggested bosses at Columbia - the studio behind the first two movies in 1984 and 1989 - were lining up Seth Rogen, Steve Carell and Paul Rudd to join original stars Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson in a new movie.

At last, Ernie Hudson finally gets his name mentioned! He never seemed to get any acknowledgment towards the Ghostbusters films from the press/media.

I like the idea of Rogen, Carrell and Rudd joining the cast. They all seem to have the right mindset to become decent Ghostbuster characters in my opinion.

Superbad (2007)

Ok, heres a quick review for Superbad. Its pretty much how I expected it to be which is no bad thing. Its really crude in parts and is almost 100% about sex but its still got the charm of The 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up thanks to having a pretty much identical cast/crew (that'll be Judd Apatow's comedy gang).

The film is totally packed with tonnes of funny moments but my favourite scenes involve the two cops (Seth Rogen & Bill Hader) with the character McLovin/Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse).

Anyway, its a great little movie. Probably best seen with a bunch of male friends as most females will likely to be offended by the majority of it. He he!

Films out on the 14th of September (UK)

Well, last weeks cinema releases were nothing to talk about but by the end of this coming week things should hopefully change with a couple of new movies.

The first is 'Superbad'. Yeah, it sounds awful but the trailer looks really good. This is a comedy about a group of friends in the final few weeks of school getting into all sorts of trouble before leaving for college. It's co-written by Seth Rogen, the lead guy from Knocked Up who's really making a name for himself now (he also plays one of the cop's in the trailer). The film also features Michael Cera a.k.a George Michael Bluth from the excellent 'Arrested Development' series so I'll spouting out loads of A.D quotes throughout (to the annoyance of anyone sitting around me, ha ha!).



The second is 'Shoot Em Up'. Yeah yeah yeah!!! Gunfights, car chases, Monica Bellucci still looking hot... that'll do me! I don't really know much about this film but I've heard there's not much of a real story although it is great fun to watch full with over the top action. The excellent Clive Owen's has the lead with Paul Giamatti taking the strange role of 'BAD GUY'. Giamatti usually plays good guys or minor supporting roles so I'll be interested to see how he handles it. The film itself looks like a cross between a John Woo film and some random 80's action movie. Neither is a bad thing in my book!
