Good afternoon, good evening and goodnight.
Well, happy 2012, readers! Now what was that date to when the world is meant to end? I hope its not anytime soon as theres a few decent-sounding movies in the works and a ir amount of cool ones already in the can and that Id like to see.
As were already into January and the supposed doom of our planet as we know it is st approaching, Ill be quick off the mark with my column.
2011 Top 3 For Me:
1.RANGO&8211; Gore Verbinski&8217;s Ace Animation
2.THE WAY&8211; Beautifully Crafted by Emilio Estevez
3.13 ASSASSINS&8211; Takashi Miike&8217;s awesome actioner
The Worst of 2011:It wasnt an impressive year in cinematic creativity for me. Lots of sequels, not a lot of substance. A ir few iled-to-keep promises. The list of disappointing movies is too long and like I said, were at Worlds End, damnit!
Heres to 2012:Tarantinos Western Django Unchained, starring Leonardo Di Caprio and Joseph Gordon Levitt. Brick director, Rian Johnsons Looper, starring Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon Levitt. Premium Rush starring, um, Joseph Gordon Levitt. Am I sensing something miliar here? Good job, I didnt mention my number four being Lincoln.
Middle names Judy, with a silent M:However you like to pronounce the name Ralph, you have to admit that hes a Fiennes actor indeed. Yes, I am talking about Ralph Fiennes, who Im hearing is set to takvanessa hudgense over from Judy Dench at some point as James Bonds boss M. This, of course, is said to be after the new 007 movie Skyll, with Daniel Craig as the serious Bond (apart from Dalton, who was also serious, but ahead of his time, though he wasnt trying to be a British Jason Bourne, because Bourne didnt exist. Well, he did, but in literary form, oh and in a dodgy Richard Chamberlain flick called, um, The Bourne Identity.) Anyway, I digress, super-actor Fiennes, apparently features in Skyll as a senior ranking officer of MI6 and once Dame Judy Dench parts ways after this film, Ralph is rumoured to be slipping into her shoes.
A Lost Boy:One of my vourite 80s cool kids, Corey Feldman, is indeed a contestant on the ITV shoe Dancing on Ice. Its like Dancing with the Stars, but on ice. These reality talent shows are said to be career boosting for those who take part. Indeed they are! Because we all have the hit album Vanilla Ice released after his participation in last years show, right?
Frozen Ground :ex-&8221;Neighbours&8221; (big popular Aussie soap that does huge numbers in Britain!) starlet Radha Mitchell is sharing the screen with Nicolas Cage, John Cusack, Vanessa Hudgens and 50 Cent in this icy new thriller. We got sent the poster this week :
Best Title of the Week:This has to go to this little known fire-cracker of a title. Iron Monk. Yes, it seems to do exactly as says on the tin. A Buddhist monk, whos like iron! The British-made film is done and dusted and shows off some real martial-arts talents, claming no CGI or wire-work in its trailer, which you can find here:
Tough Love:UK hard man Vinnie Jones is fronting a new campaign for the British Heart Foundation. In his miliar guise as a tough London gangster, the former football player turned actor takes centre stage in the series of ads being played on UK TV in an attempt to inform the public on basic First Aid. You can find Vinnie getting hearts pumping here: Vinnie has joined the cast of &8220;Life Outside&8221;, Alexander Poroso Cuenca&8217;s UK lensed actioner thriller about a homeless ex-cop out to find his kidnapped daughter. Jones&8217;s co-stars include Ving Rhames, Danny Trejo, Fred Williamson, Sean Brosnan and Sebastian Street.
Daniels Downunder: Gary Daniels (&8220;The Expendables&8221;) is headed to Australia to film &8220;Branson&8217;s County&8221;, the story of an Aussie police officer who is forced to change his ways. Aussies Vernon Wells, Tony Bonner and Louis Mandylor are also attached to the film, which director Arthur Allan Seidelman is currently scouting locations for.
Malcolm McDowell on a rampage: The UK great, last seen giving Ari Gold a run for his money in &8220;Entourage&8221;, will play a serial killer/con-man in Dark House Film&8217;s new thriller &8220;Monster Butler&8221;. &8220;Species II&8221; helmer Peter Medak is attached to direct.
The Four:My popular section where I list those who are on the up and up. A mixed foursome here beginning with tall tough kicking Julie Kitchen. UK girl Julie is a Thai Kickboxing champion whos setting producing tongues wagging. Shes said to have doubled actors in the upcoming Snow White and the Huntsman movie and word is she might just gain an entire movie in her own right. Next up are two guys, Curt Blakeney and Richard Botto, writers and actors and co-founders of the new movie social media site Stage 32. These two are linking creatives from all around the world, both amateur and professional. Im sensing great things for these guys, both for their screenwriting work and possibly taking the crown from IMDB. Definitely two to take note of. Finally UK actress Kristin Mcilquham. Presently on the stage in a production entitled The Shallow End, this talented performer is set for good things in 2012.
Until next time.
Damn good riding with you, Chavez.
