Dan Hudak's Reviews, Rants And Other Things Hollywood
This is M. Night Shyamalan's latest, and I'm over M. Night Shyamalan. I will not be swayed nor inspired by an action/visual effects filled trailer. Shyamalan hasn't told a good story since "Signs," and I have a bad feeling the movie is going to have too many shots of wind blowing, just like his last crappy movie ("The Happening").
This is the ad that will run during the Super Bowl pre-game show around 6 p.m. The movie opens July 2, 2010.
I'm not sure if we needed a sequel to "Wall Street" (1987), but it should be fun to watch Michael Douglas bite into Gordon Gekko again. Let's hope Oliver Stone has something interesting to say re: big biz in the Internet age, and that the rumored return of Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen) is more than a scant cameo. The film opens April 23, 2010.
Good to see Angelina doing action again. She's an exceptionally talented actress, but I hate it when actors take themselves so seriously their movies are never any fun (are you listening, Sean Penn?).
I'm not kidding when I say I've never met a Celine Dion fan. I'm sure they must exist, somewhere. And okay, maybe the trailer gave me goosebumps. But that doesn't mean I like the music.
Why did this have to be made? Why must Hollywood tarnish all great movies of my youth? Jackie Chan, you will never by my Mr. Miyagi. And Jaden Smith, go away.
The Sandler ensemble here has served us well before, but this doesn't look like anything special. I'm sure it'll have some good laughs, but I can certainly wait to see it.
This is basically the intro to the TV show, but darn if that music doesn't get me excited. Even if I know I should know better.
