General Movie News

Dislike McConaugheyaheyahey quite a lot actually.

Brosnan and Helga (on day release from Baker St it seems) are going to appear in an espionage film together. Hopefully Pierce can finally stick it to Craig by sticking it to Hegla.

Didn't really care enough to look into this movie, but now I just found out that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be CGI: http://moviepilot.com/stories/951379-first-look-michael-bay-s-pre-cgi-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles?stamp=40418&subscribe_to=323027&utm_campaign=first-look-at-the-turtles&utm_medium=facebook&utm_source=fb-stream-post

If filmmakers in the 1990s were able to pull it off with men in suits who were able to perform amazing stuntwork despite the limitations, then there's no excuse why they can't do that today in 2013 after how much technology grew. I would keep the suits but only use CGI to give them the final touches to make them more convincing.

I really hope this will be at least a decent film. Brosnan belongs in this genre. Loved his performances in The Tailor of Panama and The Ghost Writer.

I liked The Ghost Writer for the most part, but the ending was downright stupid.

Book ended better or at least differently, the ghost writer just on the run. The ex-PM dies in a bomb blast...but I suppose being shot by a sniper was visually dramatic enough.

Made no sense that, upon figuring out the plot, Obi-Wan hands the widowed Mrs. Brozzer that note and smiles smugly. Seemingly signed his own death warrant instead of figuring out a way to expose it all to the general public.

Have to blame Harris I suspect. Maybe he thought for the film it should be like that. Scotsman knocked down by a car in faux London. He apparently was going to do Pompeii with Polanski but the writer's strike put paid to that. Who knows how he'd change the book for that :)

No, the real deal breaker to me is the idea the CIA would have their killers available on the spot and ready to go within less than five minutes. That's a bit much to swallow if you think of it. Makes only sense if he'd have been a goner that evening anyway, regardless of his findings.
