Sons of Adam


"Prince Caspian" is the next Narnia film adaptation to premiere this summer. Judging from the trailer it looks better than the previous one. The actors who played the Pevensie siblings in "The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe" all return to reprise their roles, I wonder if they'll stay till "The Last Battle". They're a good bunch, the chemistry between the siblings was believable in the first film. So from here on, every succeeding generation who'll read Narnia will have them as facial references when they read the book.

But I have to say that from all the Narnia books two are my favorites: "The Magician's Nephew" & "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader". So I'll be more eager to anticipate these film adaptations. And coming from the net it looks like I'm in for a treat this 2010. Cause summer of that year "the Dawn Treader" premieres (Yes!). I really want to see how Eustace Stubb would be portayed. I had a blast reading that particular book because of him. And I hope "The Magicians Nephew" would be next--Empress Jadis in London! The Ruins of Charn? C'mon it's more awesome than Turkish Delight ;-)


Children of Night


December 14 is the premiere of "I am Legend". And I can't say how I want to see this movie enough. As you can see in my profile I am a sucker for horror-survival films. Yes almost all the plots for this genre has been done before but I couldn't care less.

Give me zombies/creatures/invasion/viral/claustrophobia/aliens/ viral epidemic/running/stabbing/screaming/hacking/shooting/more running--I'm happy.

Provided, that it's done in a very good way not B Movie grade like "Slither". Examples on top of my list: Alien, 28 Days Later, Shaun of the Dead, Children of Men and Dawn of the Dead.

And I'm voicing out the popular opinion of most of you: I hope the Dog lives till the credits roll.

I've just found out that this film is the third adaptation of a book. And I think that's my small Xmas gift for myself this season. Hehehe

I'm sure the film will probably hit our shores after December. Cause its Metro Manila Film Festival again in a couple of weeks.


Queen for the Ages


I saw the trailer for Elizabeth: The Golden Age. Wow.
Nice cinematography.
Cate Blanchett.
Reason enough to watch it.


Another JJ Abrams Mystery


The net is buzzing with rumors on what "CLOVERFIELD" is all about. Once again Mr. Abrams cooks up something to stir our curiosity with maddening secrecy: Just small snippets, flicks, short trailers that don't make sense.

Probably you've seen the posters and 3D stands in theaters (I saw one on Gateway Cineplex). The one with the Statue of Liberty blown off and the rest of NY in ruins? Yep. Thats it.

it only says "2008"

well i hope all this hype is all worth it. Abram's is building very high expectations.

For me he's succeeded in the first half.

(Coz) I want to watch it.



COMING SOON

"Atonement" won't be premiering anytime soon here (will it ever?).

and the new Angelina Jolie action film "Wanted" is something to look forward to.

There.
