It would seem that today is all about images. So here is another I have made for you:

So, once again, I end up making a mini-movie strip for you guys. This time starring, well, you should be able to guess who:

But I had to make it. I had to.

So let’s see then…

* Saw Holmes. Enjoyed the hell out of it.

* Burrito Blade Volume 2 begins today. You can read page 1 right here.

* I am now reading Twilight. Why? Well, I’ve read Anne Rice’s Jesus book, some Harry Potter, some Left Behind and a bit of Dan Brown. It isn’t that I enjoy crap writing, I truly don’t, but if I am going to dismiss something and say it is crap I feel I should at least know it for what it is. So I’ll read the first book. And then I’ll review it. Fairly. Started it last night. So far it’s crap. But hey, it could get better.

Well it’s here. The first A-Team trailer. Starring Liam Neeson as Hannibal, Sharlto Copley as Murdock, Bradley Cooper as Face and Quinton Jackson as B.A. Baracus, it’s kinda… well look it’s an A-Team movie. It should make no real sense and be a series of “Huh? What?” moments strung together with a black van. The van is in the trailer. The last moment in the trailer is really “Huh? What?”

So this might be… well good is the wrong word, but good.

Star Blazers (Space Battleship Yamoto) is getting a live action movie? Oh holy shit! This looks awesome! Here’s the trailer:

Someone found a way to make one of the prequel Star Wars movies watchable! Revenge of the Sith + Clerks = worth your time.

The A-Team opening, done with Star Wars. I wanna watch that show.

Here’s the first trailer for the new Karate Kid film with Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan. This time the kid is moved to bejing with his mother and ends up learning unreasonable amounts of martial arts. The first was good because it was, on some level, feasible. Daniel wasn’t that awesome. He lost, even. This time… well, see for yourself.

So I got to thinking about movies and how to do a top ten list of them. Should they be the best made movies? Best overall (direction, acting and writing etc) or what… Then I just decided to do the ten movies I think, at this moment, I enjoy the most. They are in no particular order:

Casino Royale
I’ve always loved Bond. The one from the books. I like the movie version as well but the book version is far and away my favorite iteration of the character. We hadn’t ever seen him on film, though. We got great movies but the real Bond, the one I fell in love with the most, was missing. Until this. Suddenly we had the killer, the cold, detached, fucked-up man right there. And it was everything I could have hoped for.

Iron Man
Robert Downey Jr. Before this and one other film we’ll discuss in a minute, he was all right but nothing special. Now? He’s RDJ, damn it. Iron Man gave us the first super hero film that treated the characters like humans. No diss on the Chris Reeve Superman film, it is still amazing, but this is something special, too. Stark finds a purpose but doesn’t lose the man he was in the process. He struggles with it and remains very much the central character, not the suit. It is, going forward, the mark all super hero movies will have to match.
