Zack Snyder Has Found His Jor-El for ‘Man of Steel’…That Man is Russell Crowe
Posted by: | Comments
BIG news on the superhero movie casting front. As you know, Zack Snyder has been piling up the acting talent for his upcoming Superman reboot, Man of Steel, over the past few months. So far, he has Henry Cavill (Clark Kent), Amy Adams (Lois Lane), Michael Shannon (Zod), Diane Lane (Martha Kent) and Kevin Costner (Pa Kent) rounding out the impressive cast. But there has been a major casting hole thus far, that has now been filled. I am of course referring to Superman’s bilogical father from Krypton, Jor-El, who was famously played by Marlon Brando in Richard Donner’s Superman films. Now, he will be played by none other than Russell Crowe. I mean…that’s just awesome.
Exciting New Trailer for Paul Haggis’ ‘The Next Three Days’ with Russell Crowe
Posted by: | Comments
The first trailer for The Next Three Days has made its way online at Yahoo! (via Collider) and it looks pretty damn good. The film comes from the brilliant mind of Paul Haggis; Oscar-winning screenwriter/director responsible for the likes of Crash, Million Dollar Baby, Letters from Iwo Jima and Casino Royale, just to name a few. No big deal, right? His latest film stars Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks as John and Lara Brennan, a typical married couple who’s lives get turned upside down when Lara is arrested and convicted of a murder she didn’t commit. Or did she? John then cooks up a crazy plan to break his beloved wife out of prison. Sounds pretty sweet to me.
Matt’s Review: Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood; Where’s the Heart?

ROBIN HOOD (C+)
The Wolfman comes to mind when settling down to write this review. After evaluating my feelings of the prequel tale of Robin Hood, before his legendary days as the Prince of Thieves, I realized I left the theater less happy than walking in. I rated The Wolfman higher than this movie almost strictly on the basis that I was more disappointed from Robin Hood, expecting greatness, but only receiving mediocrity.
