Clash of the Titans
”Just accept it.” That’s the advice given to Perseus when he discovers a sword from the gods in the forest. There’s no good explanation for it and no explanation is attempted. The same advice holds true for Clash of the Titans. It’s an action movie made for thrills. That’s it. Just accept it. It’s conceivable you might enjoy it.
Chloe
It’s simply amazing how wonderfully director Atom Egoyan squanders his incredible cast in his latest film, Chloe. He manages to take a sexual thriller like Basic Instinct or Fatal Attraction and turn it into Ishtar.
Official A-Team Poster
With sufficient photoshop’ing in place, we now have the official one-sheet for the upcoming A-Team film, from director Joe Carnahan (Smokin’ Aces). The shots of the team vary little from early stills, but it’s fun to see progress on the production all the same.
Six New Photos: The A-Team Movie
via slashfilm.com Thanks to our friends at /Film. And thanks to the studio for continuing to market what’s most important about this upcoming film. (bigger version right here…uh huh)
The A-Team
The film ultimately seems an exaggerated actioner, but perhaps the cast can help bouy it above being completely forgettable.
First Official A-Team Photo
I still think Quinton “Rampage” Jackson is the real wild-card here considering the popularity of the Baracus character (originally played by Mr. T), but Liam Neeson and Bradley Cooper are looking pretty good. And this is definitely a better shot than that earlier spy one. Posted via email from Popscorn
I Spy the New A-Team
via comingsoon.net That would be (from left to right) Quinton “Rampage” Jackson as Sgt. “B.A.” Baracus, Liam Neeson as John “Hannibal” Smith, Sharlto Copley as Capt. “Howling Mad” Murdock, and Bradley Cooper as Lt. Templeton “Faceman” Peck on set in Vancouver. Pretty cool. Rampage is no where near as good an actor as he is [...]
Taken
Proving he’s not a one-hit badass, Liam Neeson leverages the fisticuffs he picked up as Ra’s al Ghul in Batman Begins to beat the sense out of some Algerian thugs who have kidnapped his daughter in Pierre Morel’s Taken. Clean-cut and unassuming, Neeson’s Bryan Mills is inescapably reminiscent of Matt Damon’s Jason Bourne. But anyone hoping for the next sensible spy tale to follow that ground-breaking trilogy should probably continue to hold their breath. Taken is admirably in-your-face, satisfyingly (if not surprisingly) blunt and lensed like the best of them, but it lacks in the nuance and depth that might turn it into a genre mainstay. Nevertheless, Neeson has clearly broken the mold for ass-kicking fathers.
