Seriously from Paris with Love


Most probably Hollywood has already dried up with a good, nice and significant title movies, because the title of this movie certainly not making any sense. Just take your time looking at the new poster, and while you're at it, grab a paper and pen and try to list down the significance of oversize gun and explosions with the word "Paris" and "love". I don't know about you, but it's sure a hard task for me.

When I heard this poster was out, I'm thinking of something more like "Big Ugly Truth" kind of poster, but instead got aimed directly by John Travolta with a huge rpg firearm, with game-like motion explosion at the back! But anyway, I expect great things from this movie. It's been long since we saw Travolta on the screen that I almost thought he had become the Governor. So, I hope you'll enjoy this recently released poster, and Frosted Cigar loves you all! Regards...

No Greengrass, no Damon…WHAT?!!!!

I kept asking myself, how the hell will Bourne 4 be on screen without its most talented director (Paul Greengrass) and its real Jason Bourne (Matt Damon)?! In the article I found in Cinema Blend about the issue, Matt Damon clearly stated that he will have nothing to do with the sequel of the movie without the involvement of Greengrass inside the production. That’s indeed a bummer!! Without Damon, what was really there to watch in Bourne heh? (or is it just me exactly? LOL!)

So the story goes on that the Universal Studio went on with the sequel of the movie despite previous saying that Bourne Ultimatum will wrap it up for Robert Ludlum’s novel on the screen. Demanding for Greengrass as the director, for his astounding performance in Bourne 3 which had somehow obtained the movie 2 Oscar awards, he slammed the door on them, saying that he won’t be back for Bourne 4. Maybe he thought the possibility to topple the last Bourne movie was impossible, or he was really done playing around Jason Bourne character. This decision thus affected Damon’s answer when asked whether he’ll be back as Jason Bourne. He said,

"I’ll just wait for him and when he wants to do one, we’ll do it. I’ve always said that. But I think it will happen down the road. We just don’t have a script right now."

Is it just me or this answer was tinged with hopeful thought? Or is it just a conspiracy spiraling among them before they began a new conspiracy for another Bourne? Anyway, there’s nothing much to be said about it. All we can do is wait, and truth shall surfaced along the way, leaving trails of speculations at the back heh?

New Moon - Really?!!!

First of all, I would like to clarify that I'm not a twilight-hater, and my opinions here are not influenced by any grudge or despise that usually became the case when it came to twilight, alright? I'll keep it brief, and as honest as I can be about this movie.

2008 - Twilight : This movie blasted away the audience, be it a fan or not, with fast paced storyline, blood thumping actions and the hotness of Robert Pattinson. A praise to Catherine Hardwicke as the director, who presented the movie in a grasping way that even captured the attention of non-fans and peoples' who don't even knew the existence of Twilight.

2009 - New moon : Well, for starters, there's too much "You're everything to me...", "You're the world to me...", "I don't want to live without you...", then it goes like hugs and kisses that drone on and on for the rest of the movie. Some people may be up for the romantic scenes and stuffs, but for others, it's boooriiing! Some of us are up to the actions promised by the cool new moon's trailers man! It doesn't have to be actions and brawling between werewolves and vampires for the whole movie, but at least be optimum for both romance and actions, you know what I mean? Keep all the details to books, and bring only the cool and important parts to the screen, don't cha think?

Okay, enough about that. I'll keep my promise to keep it short. But before I go, I have to say that the werewolves in the movie are probably the best I ever seen! It wows me, and I really wish I can see they fight for a little bit longer, but...oops! Okay, I'll just stop here okay? Thanks for reading and Frosted Cigar loves you all...

"You're the world to me Bella..."

For the records, Rotten Tomatoes had given New Moon 29% in Tomatometer...

Freddie's Revival, Shrek's End.

So what interest me today?

1. A Nightmare on Elm Street remake.
Yup, another remake. Produced by Michael Bay the movie will hit cinemas on 30th April 2010. Let's just hope it won't suck as much as well...all the other remakes out there.




2. Shrek, Forever After.
Our beloved ogre will return to the screen for the last time next year (somewhere in May if I am not mistaken) in full 3D. According to the interview with director Mike Mitchell, the final installment of the movie will bring back all that is to love about Shrek. The premise for the movie this time around is Shrek wanting to get his ogre badness back because he felt like being domesticated. Thus, he strikes a deal with Rumpelstiltskin (he appeared few times in Shrek 2 and 3) but the deal goes wrong and Shrek has to confront what life would be like in Far Far Away if he had never existed.

Shrek and Rumpelstiltskin in Shrek Forever After. Rumpelstiltskin returns for the final film after making brief pop-ups in Shrek 2 and 3.


3. Chronicle of Narnia: Voyage of The Dawn Treader.
Narnia will make a comeback for the third installment in the series and this time, they're all riding on a boat. Three new photos have been released and from the look of it, Dawn Treader looks really awesome. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is being directed by British filmmaker Michael Apted and is currently scheduled for release on 10th December 2010.

Ben Barnes as King Caspian and Skandar Keynes as Edmund Pevensie returning for an adventure to the utter east on board the Dawn Treader.

Alright people, that's all for today. I'll return with more goodies soon.

Love, Zombie.

Iron man 2 + Deathly Hallows = Buzz!

Sorry for weird title, it's just that I can't think of a clever one. Okay, now what's buzzing this week? Check out the list I've made for you guys.

1. A teaser poster of Iron Man 2!
It is not just a poster, but a poster revealing War Machine! Cool huh?



2. Harry Potter released first still of Deathly Hallows.
Not much news on this one but hey, I guess it's a way of Yates and crew telling that they are okay and the movie is on its way. Potter will be released next year in a two part movie with the second part airing in 2011.



3. Jaden Smith in Karate Kid remake, few stills released.
As all of you know, the remake featured Jaden, Will Smith son, as the lead role and also Jackie Chan will play Mr. Miyagi. That's all wrong...There's just so many things that's wrong with this. Jackie Chan played a Japanese character? Don't get me started but anyway, check out the stills by following this link - Stills.


4.James Cameron released some behind the scenes from the highly anticipated Avatar.



Alright guys, that's all from me. Catch you guys later.

Love, Zombie.
