This film looks like it might be as much fun as the first “Iron Man.”
And if you’d like a closer view of the individual character portraits…
Welcome to a new section I like to call “Movies I’d like to see from TV shows.” In the past, there have been a few television shows that have spun off to the big screen keeping their casts intact (“Star Trek”, “Firefly”, “Veronica Mars” for example) and some that have been remade completely with new casts (“A-Team” “21 Jump Street” “The Fugitive”).

So there have been a lot of rumors going around as to who would pick up the “Indiana Jones” mantel once Harrison Ford steps down. The top rumor of the day is Bradley Cooper. Personally, I always thought Josh Holloway (Lost, Intelligence) would have made a great “Indiana Jones.” Harrison Ford is a very hard act to follow, but I always felt that Holloway had just the right amount of charm and charisma to follow in his footsteps.
Wes Anderson’s “The Grand Budapest Hotel” was quite an interesting movie. I happen to be a big fan of the visual style of his films. To put it lightly, he is a true filmmaker in every sense of the word. But I’m not here right now to give a full review of his career. Instead, I just wanted to display some pictures of the Grand Budapest Hotel model currently on display at the Hollywood ArcLight Cinemas in Los Angeles. It’s the actual one that was used in the film.
So I’m not a huge “Fast and the Furious” fan. I don’t dislike the films. But I’m not dying to see them either. Actually, I haven’t even seen them all yet. I liked the fifth one, but I wasn’t terribly crazy about the sixth. Maybe they are just a little too over the top for me. I love cartoon action, but I think I would enjoy these more if they were just a bit more grounded. I have the same problem with the “Die Hard” films. They started off with a character who was portrayed as a real person and as the film series progressed, that character became more and more superhuman. I still enjoyed them (not #5 at all), but I did have a harder time embracing them. (For the record, the first “Die Hard” is the best action film of all time.)
It seems Marvel aims to tease the audience with more than a trailer for its soon to be released film “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.” The first ten minutes of the film just popped up online.
*Update 3-5-14* Apparently they’re not.
