Newcomer Noah Ringer as AangDev Patel as Prince Zuko
Newcomer Nicola Peltz as KataraJackson Rathbone as Sokka

Nicola Peltz looks so young compared to the others. I know she is supposed to be young, but I don't know if I can see her as a threatening water bender.
Uhhhh. I'll wait to give judgment on Jackson Rathbone. Much depends on comedic timing.
I can't wait for July 2nd! Then we shall see what the movie will really be like and get over all of these "sneak peeks."
I found these pictures over at EmpireMovies.com

Deadpool Will Break not the 1st, 2nd or 3rd... but FOURTH Wall

Reynolds Canadian TV MuchMusic's 'Much On Demand' - June 8, 2009

"Empire chatted with Ryan Reynolds and asked him an interesting question about the upcoming "X-Men" spin-off, Deadpool, in which he'll reprise his role from the "Wolverine" movie.

Reynolds says Deadpool will breach the fourth wall: "Break the fourth wall? Oh yeah, he's got to. I want to see him break the Great Wall"... "The studio's working on a script and trying to find a director. The main goal is to make sure it stays close to the source material."

So does Reynolds feel under pressure from fanboys? “I’m one of them. I’ve always been a fan, at least for the last eight or nine years. I feel a bit of validation because I knew going into Wolverine that there’s a huge fanbase for this and I don’t think anyone else did."

A release date has not yet been set for the film."

Found this over at ComingSoon.net.

Breaking the fourth wall means he will do something like speak to the audience which I hear he does frequently in the comics.

Thanks RyanReynoldsFan.net for the picture.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince HBO First Look

Part 1


Part 2

I'm looking forward to the Half-Blood Prince. But it bugs me because Dumbledore looks even more like Gandalf and people already get them confused. They are NOT the same actor. Michael Gambon = Dumbledore. (Sir) Ian McKellan = Gandalf.

Matt Damon is 'The Informant'

Starring:
   Matt Damon
   Joel McHale
   A lot of other people
Directed by: Steven Soderbergh
Score composed by: Shane MacGowan

Matt Damon once said that only Steven Soderbergh could get all the actors together for the Ocean's franchise. And that he respected and liked working with him. I wonder if Matt would have done this movie if it was directed by someone else? Oh, and George Clooney is executive producing. Funny how that works out.

'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' Reaction

Transformers:Revenge of the Fallen
Starring:
   Shia LaBeouf
   Megan Fox
   Josh Duhamel
   Tyrese Gibson
   John Turturro
   Cars, mostly Chevy
Directed by: Michael Bay
Score composed by: Steve Jablonsky

I saw 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' at the midnight showing, and then again on Sunday. Of course the midnight showing was sold out, but not as quickly as The Dark Knight or some previous Harry Potters. There was overall hype, but again not as much as I have seen before. One review I agree with is over at Seattlepi.com:

"For some reason Michael Bay & Co thought it was a good idea to have a bunch of sexual overtones. I'm still not sure what that added to the movie... Some of the language was harsh as well."
With a staff of writers isn't it possible to come up with something better? I guess the language appeals to a broad audience?
"The action scenes in Revenge of the Fallen were much better than 2007's Transformers. It was hard to watch some of action sequences in the first movie. A lot of the shots were really tight which made it hard to focus on what was even happening."
I could actually follow who was getting their butt kicked and who was winning within the fight. I can dissect these scenes, instead of just zoning out until they are done.
"More robots! More robots! I as happy to see they added more characters to the movie. Some of them went really undeveloped, but it was still good to see new characters in a few scenes."
Me gusto mucho. More characters = More awesome cars.

Speaking about new cars. I did not notice that the new Chevy Cruze, which I have mentioned before, and the Chevy Volt were in 'Transformers: RotF' until I watched it a second time. The Volt looks pretty in purple. It's shown briefly... I can't remember when. If you blink you will miss it. I found a picture of it over at Autoindustrie.blogspot.com, which is really an informative blog about cars.Chevy Volt in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

In the opening scenes the Cruze is used as a Shanghai cop car. I was excited when I saw the Cruze, I had to look online to make sure it was there, and not a new Impala, Cobalt or something... I cannot find an image of the Cruze dressed up as it was in Transformers.

Also, does Michael Bay mention previous films of his in all of his movies? In the first Transformers one of the kids running to see the fallen "comet" says something to the effect of "This is so much better than Armageddon". Then in Revenge of the Fallen Shia LaBeouf paints all over a Bad Boys II poster.

Hmm my favorite number is seven... so lets give 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' on the basis of really awesome blowout fight scenes and shiny cars but unneeded language and super weak plot... three out of seven. I would watch it again, but not a million times.

'The Lord of the Rings' Used In Iranian Conflicts

Over at Cinematical.com an article talks about how 'The Lord of the Rings' is either being used to calm protestors or to support one of the candidates.

"The latest political controversy that the series finds itself embroiled in is the Iranian electoral protests. Time has a piece from an anonymous Iranian resident reporting that the government is using film to try and quell public unrest. "In normal times, Iranian television usually treats its viewers to one or two Hollywood or European movie nights a week. But these are not normal times, so it's been two or three such movies a day. It's part of the push to keep people at home and off the streets, to keep us busy, to get us out of the regime's hair. The message is 'Don't worry, be happy.'"
It goes on to explain how the death of Boromir portrays dying to defend humanity and that Shadowfax draws the image of "Rakhsh, the mythical horse of the Rostam, the great champion of the Shahnameh".
I knew that all throughout LotR there is a green message; Sarumon was industry that was destroying the Earth. Especially in The Two Towers. I did not know that others used it to promote their own ideals. When couples used LotR as a theme for their weddings, Tolkien was upset. I don't think he would be very happy with this either.

Del Toro To Take 'The Hobbit' To New Lands

Over at ReelzChannel.com they scored descriptive hints from Hobbit director Guillermo del Toro.

"Well we start next year. We are in pre-production. We are writing, designing, designing characters, monsters. Designing all the environments. Developing the technology to shoot it. And it will start in March 2010 and we will shoot for about 370 days or so. And at the end of that we will post-produce for a few months. And then first movie comes out 2011. Second movie comes out 2012."

"The landscapes in some cases, in some instances that were not established in the trilogy, we are going for a slightly different feel in some of the landscapes. So we are going to evolve little by little. At the end of the first movie, you will see landscapes that you haven't seen in the trilogy. And in the second movie we go to, hopefully, a place that is very very different."

"... it looks like a 16-hour, insane movie, there's so much in it. It's too early for me to tell how much stuff is going to get paired down. I don't really feel comfortable saying too much, except that it looks amazing. And it's very much a del Toro stamp on that world."
