Predators

We reported way back in April of 2009 that blood-spatter specialist Robert Rodriguez was getting set to reboot the Predator franchise with Predators. The series dates back to 1987, of course starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. “You are one ugly mother fu**er.” Remember that classic line? Then the much less successful sequel, Predator 2, came out three years later, followed by the two Alien vs. Predator cross-over films (AVP and AVP: Requiem) in 2004 and 2007 respectively.

Gaga in Wonderland

For this edition of Funny Business, I have something for you that I found while browsing through some IGN videos yesterday. It’s a very well put together and edited mock-trailer of Disney/Tim Burton’s current 3-D box-office smash remake of Alice in Wonderland. This time, it’s not Alice spiraling out of control down the rabbit hole, it’s that lovable freak show that is, Lady Gaga, hence Gaga in Wonderland.

Christopher Nolan

“And here, we…go!” It’s official. It’s true. And man is it a great day to bee a comic-book movie fan. About a month ago we posted news that not only was Warner Bros. getting their crap together for a much needed Superman reboot, but that Batman savior Christopher Nolan was going to have an integral part in its development. At that time, it was not confirmed, it was just industry chatter. It is now a fact. And we know this, because the man of the hour has said so himself.

Tron Legacy

It’s been several days since this was unveiled to the world, but I needed some time to gather my thoughts. If you saw Alice in Wonderland this past weekend, you got to see the breathtaking new trailer for Disney’s other upcoming 3-D baby, Tron Legacy. The first footage we saw of Tron Legacy was way back this past summer when Disney premiered those three minutes of footage at Comic-Con. That clip didn’t show much, but was just supposed to get people talking, which it did. But man, this new trailer has got people SCREAMING for December to hurry the hell up already.

Men in Black 3_Sacha Baron Cohen_Jermain Clement

So we now have the latest casting “development” surrounding the almost decade-long “in-the-works” Men in Black 3. But before we get to that, lets recap what’s been going on with the project in recent months. Back in October it was reported that Tropic Thunder screenwriter Etan Cohen had been officially hired by Sony to pen the script for MIB 3.  That report also semi-confirmed that MIB 1 & 2 director Barry Sonnenfeld, as well as stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones were all “uncertain” about their participation in the project. So there’s that.

25th hour

This week on Netflix This, I’ve got a great recommendation to add to your queue. The film is 25th Hour, and is, in my opinion, the best, most powerful and most compelling film from director Spike Lee’s 30+ year career. I know, I know, “but what about Malcom X, Do The Right Thing, He Got Game, etc.?” Nah dude. 25th Hour is not only Lee’s crowning achievement as a director, but it is also one of the most powerful dramas I’ve ever seen. It’s THAT good.

Ben Still Oscars Avatar

“Kin ta uuuna masupa kalosi ttttttt ssssssssmmmmmmpapapapa.” This was without a doubt the best moment of last night’s horrifyingly boring Oscar show. About mid-way through the awards, Ben Stiller came out on stage to present the Best Makeup category dressed up in full-on Na’vi makeup, poking fun of the blue aliens from Avatar. He then spouted complete gibberish, making fun of the fake Na’vi language James Cameron came up with for the film and hilarity ensued. I literally almost peed my pants and was on the floor laughing for almost 10 minutes.

The Hurt Locker Oscars

Where in the hell did this from? After getting no love from The Golden Globes or the SAG Awards, The Hurt Locker came out of left field to win six Academy Awards including Best Director (Kathryn Bigelow) and Best Picture. I thought it was a solid film, but NO WAY did it deserve Best Picture. Avatar and Inglourious Basterds were the only worthy nominees for the biggest award of the night in my opinion. I guess the Academy is still too conservative and/or short-sighted to give props to any film that wins big at the box-office.

Ebert Festival

Roger Ebert is undoubtedly THE most respected film critic/entertainment author that ever lived. Ebert has been writing about movies for the Chicago Sun-Times for over 40 years. He’s written 15 books about film and became the first person to win the Pulitzer Prize for film criticism in 1975. Last year he was presented the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Director’s Guild of America, the first film critic to ever receive such an honor. And of course, along with his dearly departed former co-critic Gene Siskel, Ebert provided movie fans all over the world with the iconic catch-phrase “Two Thumps Up!” The guy is a pretty big deal in the movie industry.

Matt Damon Paul Greengrass

The last we heard on the development on the potential fourth installment in the Jason Bourne franchise was back in August of last year. It was reported that director Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon had indeed signed on for Bourne 4, but troubles with the script were causing a lot of headaches at Universal, so the project went stagnant. Now it appears as though we have some official word directly from the mouths of Greengrass and Damon, both of whom are declaring that they’re done with Jason Bourne.
