RDJ - Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows trailer 2

A bunch of new scenes makes it worth checking out this new trailer. At one point, rumor said they were going to cast Brad Pitt to play the bad guy, not sure what happen but that would have been interesting to watch RDJ with Brad Pitt in the same movies.  I like them both, both are versatile actors (in my opinion).   Not sure why they ditch Rachel McAdams b/c I thought she was fine in the last movie, I think she is pretty.  But of course, having Noomi Rapace doesn't hurt but it's sooo hard to look at her and not see Lisbeth in TGWTDT.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1...trailer

Yea yea I know I know but since I've read the books and saw the first three, I really want to see how they translate/adapt the last book into two movies.  Literally the first half of the last book has no real substance to it (well some will argue that the entire Twilight Saga has no substance), so I'm very curious to see what they make of this movie.  A wedding, a few violent sex scenes and a gruesome birth scene....LOL.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

I just finished reading the short story and I have to say it's very interesting. It's funny and ironic and it gives you a different perspective on how you look at life. Anyways, I really enjoyed and it's also a very easy read.

But I wonder how they adapted this story into the movie because it is a *very short* story. And examining from the movie's character list, I guess the movie is going to be completely different from the original story since the short story's character names are not in the move list. Or maybe the movie uses different names? Who knows? But I still look forward to this Christmas movie! It's Brad Pitt afterall.

Iron Man Rules!

Finally saw Iron Man yesterday and I was genuinely impressed with the movie. Robert Downey Jr. was awesome and made me believe that if there's a Tony Stark/Iron Man in this world, then he is the man. The CG was realistic and I like the scene when he tried on the arm piece on the 3D panel and the funny 3D trash can. Overall, well-paced, good action sequence, good comedy and a good looking RDJ.

Forbidden Kingdom

The story is based loosely on the Chinese literature Journey to the West (西遊記) but transformed to fit the Western taste. Overall it's a good entertaining movie but I'll have to say my favorite scene in the whole movie is the Jackie Chan vs Jet Li fight scene. I thought it was done beautifully and every punch and kick was well calculated. I'd love to see that again! Otherwise, the story is quite predictable with a few good laughs.
