Yep Warner Bros. plans to reboot the Superman franchise with a new take, just like Marvel did with "The Incredible Hulk" this summer. That's the big news coming from this Wall Street Journal article in which WB president Jeff Robinov talked about the upcoming plans for their movies based on DC characters.

While Robinov speaks about many things in the movie, among them Batman 3, and adopting Marvel's new approach to films, the biggest news is that they are indeed relaunching Superman. Saying that "'Superman Returns' didn't quite work as a film in the way that we wanted it to...had [it] worked in 2006, we would have had a movie for Christmas of this year or 2009, But now the plan is just to reintroduce Superman..."

This looks to confirm, at least somewhat, the news that Mark Millar was planning to pitch a new approach to Superman as Warner was looking to do so. Hopefully now that Warner has opened the door to a relaunch more about Millar's ideas, along with the identity of his secret director.

Meanwhile Warner has decided to release single films for each of their characters (currently films are being developed for Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Flash, & Wonder Woman) which will all lead into a Justice League film. Which means that the JLA film that was being worked on prior to and just after the writers strike is officially dead.

Along with all this fantastic news is one bit of news which really disappoints me, due to the huge success of The Dark Knight, Robinov wants all of his upcoming superhero films to focus on the darker side of the characters. Apparently he sees "exploring the evil side to characters as the key to unlocking some of Warner Bros.' DC properties" stating that "We're going to try to go dark to the extent that the characters allow it." And yes that last bit goes for their relaunch of the Superman franchise as well.

So what do you think of all this? Personally I really dug Superman Returns. Yes it had it's flaws, but overall I like that it was kind of a part 3 following the original Superman and Superman 2. I felt like looking at it from that approach the film worked really well.

But at the same time I'm interested in seeing a reboot and leaving all that behind. Let's get some new Superman stories out there and explore how much the character has changed since the late 70s when 'Superman' was released. And I'm ecstatic that DC is going the Marvel route and trying to make their characters more connected and developing them all before jumping into a Justice League film.

I've created a new website which I will be running along side this one. Sorry for the lack of posts recently here, but my new site isn't actually the cause of that delay. (The delay with this site has to do with finishing that bar and wanting to be lazy and looking for a job) Hopefully I will have this one up and running at it's old speed soon as I've got several posts planned I just need to write them.

The new site can be reached here. It's the Christian Film Forum and it's purpose is to give Christians a place to discuss movies, post reviews, and connect. Also it will serve as a place where Christian filmmakers can connect as well. So head on over there, read the blog entries and be sure to click on the link marked The Forums to discuss whatever you wish.

How do you review a movie which is well made in every way, yet because of its content is something you can not honestly recommend to anyone? That's the question I've been asking myself for the past two days, ever since leaving the theater after seeing "Towelhead."

"Towelhead" truly is a testament to good film making, it's wonderfully shot, well written, terrificly acted, has wonderful direction, and an engaging soundtrack. But the film itself is so cringe-inducing and painfully awkward to watch that I can't tell any of you that its something you should go see, or even rent. Coming out of the movie I felt like I needed to take a shower, a feeling I haven't had since seeing "KIDS" way back in 2000.

WARNING HUGE SPOILERS AHEAD:

The movie is based on Alicia Erian's novel of the same name and tells the coming of age story of a half-Lebanese girl, Jasira, sent to live with her strict Lebanese father, Rifat, in suburban Texas during the first Gulf War. From the jarring opening the film lets you you know to go ahead and get uncomfortable because it's going to be a long, long journey. That jarring opening has Jasira, who I need to stress is only 13, standing in her bikini as her mother's boyfriend prepares to shave her (and I don't mean her legs) and tells her not to tell her mother. Of course her mother finds out and quickly ships Jasira off to live with her father, but not before telling her that it's all her fault that this grown man was attracted to her. Thanks for the support mom!

Once Jasira arrives in Texas its clear that her father is a very tough man, as his first words to her when she arrives is to complain that her plane was over an hour late. But it's not clear just how "tough" he is until the next morning when she comes to the breakfast table wearing boxer shorts and a cut off t-shirt. His response to her clothing is to slap her as hard as he can across the face and tell her to go change. This of course sends Jasira into a fit of tears as she runs to her room. Her father slowly follows her to her room and stands outside the door and tells her "Ok, I forgive you." And from her it only goes downhill.

The next day the neighbors come over to introduce themselves (it's implied that Rafit bought the house after finding out his daughter was coming to live with him, but its not real clear). The father, Mr. Vuoso (Aaron Eckhart), is an army reservist and quickly makes up his mind about Rafit based only on his ethnicity. But this racism doesn't stop the Vuoso's from hiring Jasira as their son's babysitter. Her babysitting job doesn't last long as the son, Zach, is only 3 years younger than Jasira and shows her no respect, and it is from him that she first hears the titular ethnic slut, towelhead. The reason she is quickly without a job is that she finally snaps and hits Zach when he continues to call her names after she's asked him to stop.

But this babysitting job last long enough for Jasira to find Mr. Vuoso's collection of girlie mags, which she finds quite appealing and begins to get off to them. When Mr. Vuoso finds out that she enjoys the magazines he gives her one and starts a dangerous obsession with her. This obsession quickly turns to more as he comes over to "talk" to her one night and ends up raping her "with his fingers" as Jasira later puts it. Jasira is clearly conflicted about this incident and doesn't know whether she enjoyed it or not.

This encounter leads to her starting a relationship with Thomas, a black guy from her school, that quickly turns sexual. Thomas' race is important because it reveals the racism lying in Rafit's heart. He forbids the relationship simply because Thomas is black, meanwhile he's dating a white girl, implying that inter-racial relationships are ok, as long as they are with the right race. (We get further insight into Rafit's racism when Jasira asks if she can have a friend over, before Rafit can respond she ensures her father that the girl is white, to which he responds "It doesn't matter what color she is if she's a girl. Don't make me out to be some kind of racist."

Besides her relationship with Thomas, Jasira continues to flirt with Mr. Vuoso, making up excuses to spend time with him. It seems Jasira like the attention Vuoso gives her even as she's not sure she should be liking, or if she likes where it might lead. Luckily for Jasira and for the movie their is one shining light in all of this darkness. Living in between Jasira and her father and the Vuoso's is Gil (Eli Stone's Matt Letscher) and Melina (Toni Collette) a married couple expecting their first child. It is Gil and Melina who first suspect something may be going on between Jasira and Vuoso when Gil sees Jasira getting out of Vuoso's truck one night after he takes her out to dinner.

Jasira doesn't respond well to Gil and Melina's interfering, but she will eventually be thankful for them. The relationship with Vuoso culminates with him raping her in her house once more, a scene which is thankfully not shown. Soon after this Rafit finds the porn magazine goes to pick Jasira up from the mall. On the way home Rafit confronts her and hits Jasira repeatedly in the leg as punishment. As soon as they get home Jasira runs next door to Melina and Gil's house in order to hid from her father.

Melina and Gil notice the bruises on her leg and allow Jasira to stay there. Rafit comes over to claim his daughter and threatens to call the police, but he is quickly persuaded to let her stay when Gil threatens to show the cops the bruises on Jasira's leg. This new living situation brings about the culmination of the movie with one of the most completely awkward scenes in a movie. When Rafit arrives at Gil and Melina's responding to a dinner invitation which all others have assumed has been canceled. So as Rafit, his girlfriend, Jasira, Thomas, Gil, and Melina sit about awkwardly it all comes pouring out, her father's racism, the rape, her sexual relationship with Thomas, everything. It's clear that Rafit truly loves his daughter in his response to the news that she has been raped, a scene which brought tears to my eyes.

The movie ends with Melina in labor and Rafit allowing Jasira to stay with her through it, and finally admitting that his daughter is a "good girl." Yep thats the ending, but by this point anyone whose made it through this gut wrenching film won't care, they'll just be happy its finally over.

END OF SPOILERS!!!

While watching the film the only movie that came to mind for sheer uncomfortablilty was American Beauty, which it turns out is appropriate since that film's writer, Alan Ball, wrote and directed this adaptation. And under his direction the actor's flourish, they are so convincing it fact it's almost like your watching a documentary rather than a movie. Summer Bishil is phenomenal as Jasira and she convinces you with her every word that she really is going through this struggle to find herself. Peter Macdissi's Rafit is at the same time a troubled man with backwards beliefs and a loving father worried about his daughter. Collette and Letscher are wonderful as the light in this movie, and it's amazing that in all the darkness their characters can shine through. But it's Eckhart who really stands out here. He's recently become one of my favorite actors and he comes across as an extremely likable person in the real world. So it's a testament to his acting ability that he truly comes across as a creep here. Everytime he was on screen I hoped he would just go away and bury himself in a ditch somewhere.

I should point out that the title to this movie has recently come under attack, with the Council on American-Islamic Relations calling for a name change because of it's derogatory meaning. To this I say, duh! That's the whole point of the title, it's about a girl finding herself in a cruel world. You can read more about this non-controversy here.

That would be Kristen Bell as Harley Quinn, the Joker's main squeeze (Hence the Joker quote from 1989's Batman), at least what one fan thinks she'd look like as the character. That's right that's a fan made representation of Ms. Bell.

Apparently artist Josh McMahon cooked up the above photo as an April Fools joke he decided not to pursue. McMahon had originally thought about posting the photo online in an attempt to convince the world that Bell had a cameo in The Dark Knight as the Joker's gal.

Over on McMahon's site you can see more of his fan art including a couple I've included below. The first has changed me mind as to who should play The Riddler in the next Bat-film (Should he become the villian) with Dr. Who himself, David Tennant in the role. After that I've included a "Still" with How I Met Your Mother's Cobie Smulders as Wonder Woman. (She was Joss Whedon's top choice for the role when he was attached)

Magnolia Pictures, through it's genre arm Magnet Releasing, has announced the release of if Six Shooter Film Series. The series will see the launch of six genre films from around the world over a six month period. The series hopes to "bring fans of horror, sci-fi, alternative comedy and Asian cinema a mix of the most intelligent, genre-bending titles available..."
The series begins this October with the limited release of the Swedish film, "Let the Right One In."

But Oskar soon realizes that Eli may be tied to a series of gruesome deaths that began with her arrival. The movie is receiving rave reviews from it's festival screenings.

Possibly the most exciting news coming from the press release is that the Spanish time-travel film Timecrimes is hitting theaters in December. This film has been on my radar for some time now, thanks to great reviews from festival screenings and a spooky poster. It tells the tale of a man who accidentally gets into a time machine and travels back in time nearly an hour. When he runs into himself it sets off a series of disasters of unforeseeable consequences. It's a sci-fi thriller that is said to leave your pulse pounding.

The remaining for flicks are USA's Special, France's Eden Log, the UK's Donkey Punch, and Japan's Big Man Japan. You can read the full press release below, but you can bet I'll be in theaters seeing Timecrimes as soon as it hits theaters.

MAGNET LAUNCHES SIX SHOOTER FILM SERIES

NEW YORK – August 13, 2008 – Magnet Releasing, the genre arm of Magnolia Pictures, announced today the launch of the SIX SHOOTER FILM SERIES, a theatrical release of six films from the vanguard of quality worldwide genre cinema. With each film hailing from a different country, the series aims to bring fans of horror, sci-fi, alternative comedy and Asian cinema a mix of the most intelligent, genre-bending titles available from around the globe. The film series is a labor of love for Magnet/Magnolia, who have been committed for some time now to bringing this kind of high-quality fare to theaters, releasing such beloved titles as Bong Joon-ho’s THE HOST and ONG BAK with Tony Jaa.

The inaugural film in the series will be Tomas Alfredson’s critically acclaimed LET THE RIGHT ONE IN from Sweden, winner of such film festival honors as “Best Narrative Feature” at the Tribeca Film Festival, the “Rotten Tomatoes Critical Consensus Award” at Edinburgh, “Best Film and Best Cinematography” at Göteborg, and “Best Film, Best Director, Best Photography, Best European, North or South American Film” at the Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal. LET THE RIGHT ONE IN will open in New York and Los Angeles on Friday, October 24^th with a regional expansion the following week. The film, based on a internationally bestselling Swedish novel, tells the story of an introverted and bullied 12-year-old boy whose wish for a friend is answered when a young girl moves into the apartment next door. However, the girl’s arrival coincides with a series of grisly murders, and their relationship is understandably complicated when the boy learns that his new friend is a vampire. Alfredson weaves friendship, rejection and loyalty into a haunting and darkly atmospheric, yet poetic and unexpectedly tender tableau of adolescence which manages to breath fresh life into the vampire genre.

“Some of the most exciting, forward-thinking cinema today falls under the genre label and deserves a showcase,” said Magnolia Pictures President Eamonn Bowles. “In the tradition of ‘The Shooting Gallery Film Series,’ we're putting together a group of films whose quality far outweighs most of what’s on offer from Hollywood. And what better way to kick things off than with LET THE RIGHT ONE IN, which is one of the best films of the year—period.”

"It's hard enough finding one film, let alone two that are benchmarks within any genre,” added Tom Quinn, SVP at Magnolia/Magnet. “We're extremely fortunate to have six stellar films—future classics, in my opinion—that will appeal to critics and audiences alike, and make great additions to discerning DVD collections."

The SIX SHOOTER FILM SERIES will continue the following month with Hal Halberman and Jeremy Passmore’s SPECIAL (U.S.A.), opening theatrically on November 21^st after premiering earlier in month on November 7^th as a VOD title as part of HDNet’s ULTRA VOD program. SPECIAL is an offbeat and lovable action/comedy starring Michael Rapaport as a meter-maid whose psychotic reaction to medication given to him at a clinical trial convinces him that he has super powers.

Next up in December is Nacho Vigalondo’s TIMECRIMES (Spain), a mind-bending time-travel caper, Sundance Film Festival favorite and Austin Fantastic Fest winner that has already been optioned by United Artists for an English-language remake with David Cronenberg slated to direct. In January is Franck Vestiel’s EDEN LOG (France), a dark and visually stunning sci-fi thriller which will be featured in the “Midnight Madness” section of the Toronto Film Festival next month. Ollie Blackburn’s gleefully twisted and sexually charged Sundance thriller DONKEY PUNCH (UK) with Jaime Winstone will bow in February, riding the wave of notoriety that it generated from its UK release last month. Wrapping up the series in March is Hitoshi Matsumoto’s wonderfully bizarre superhero/mockumentary hybrid, BIG MAN JAPAN (Japan), another Toronto “Midnight Madness” and Cannes Director’s Fortnight alum that re-imagines the iconic giant defender of Tokyo as a 40 year old loser who manages to incur the population’s wrath as he battles some of the strangest monsters ever committed to celluloid.

Back in August I attended a screening of the new Judd Apatow production "The Pineapple Express," which like "Super Bad" was written by the amazingly talented Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg. Being that Pineapple Express has Finally opened I thought I'd toss this review up again (For the 3rd time) just in case someone hasn't read it yet.
I'll be seeing the theatrical cut tomorrow night and will have a review soon thereafter. But for now enjoy this review.

I went into this knowing the basic plot, Pothead Process Server (Rogen) witnesses a murder while on the job and drops a joint made of a special type of weed, called Pineapple Express, he runs to his dealer (James Franco) and the two go on the run.

So I went in expecting another comedy in the vein of "Knocked Up" and "Super Bad" but to my delight I got something much better.

The movie opens in black & white as two men pull up to a rock in the middle of the desert. The two men lift up the rock to reveal a passage underground which takes them to a secret government testing facility. Here we see a group of scientists with a test subject (Bill Hader) who is smoking a joint and being asked how he feels. After listening to the response one of the two men, a general, makes a call saying they've decided the substance is "ILLEGAL!" and demands the project terminated.

The film then cuts to present day as Dale (Rogen) is driving around in his car, smoking pot, and dressing up in different uniforms to serve court papers on unsuspecting citizens. Dale then goes to see his girlfriend, at her high school, where she is a student. After being convinced to come to her place for dinner to meet her parents the next night, Dale heads to met up with Saul his pot dealer (Franco). After buying some "Pineapple Express" from Saul, the only dealer in town who has it, Dale heads to serve some more papers to Ted Jones (The Wonderful Gary Cole) but as he's sitting there lighting up a police car pulls up behind him and Rosie Perez gets out and runs in Ted's place. As Dale sits there he hears a gunshot and turns in time to see Ted and the cop kill an Asian man. Dale takes off, leaving his half smoked joint in the street. Ted runs into the street where he finds the joint, which he recognizes as Pineapple Express.

Dale returns to Saul's, quickly realizing that his half smoked joint will lead the villains directly to him. Dale and Saul go on the run, first to the the woods, then to Dale's supplier Red, the only man who can give them up to Ted. Unfortunately Ted's goons (played by The Office's Craig Robinson and Super Bad's Kevin Corrigan) have already gotten to Red and a hilarious fight breaks out as Dale realizes they've been betrayed. Dale and Saul find themselves on the run, in a car chase, arrested, kidnapped, and finally in a huge absurdly comedic, explosive finale that ranks up there with "Hot Fuzz".

The movie's got just about everything you could want, Comedy, Action, Blood, guns, explosions, and lots and lots of weed. Rogen and Goldberg deliver an amazing action packed comedy that feels different than anything thats come before it. The acting is great all around with the exception of Amber Heard who plays Rogen's girlfriend. Her introduction falls completely flat and the rest of her part just seemed okay. But there are some great performance by everyone involved, including some great cameos from James Remar and Ed Begley Jr. Rogen and Franco are perfect playing off of each other as they have real chemistry.

Also I must mention one of my favorite scenes, the car chase. I've often wondered why no one just slams on their brakes when they are in a high speed chase, and finally this movie addresses just that very thing.

Overall I loved the movie and can't wait to see it again!!!
