Rumor: New Matrix Trilogy in the Works

Rumor: New Matrix Trilogy in the Works
Kellvin Chavez — Latino Review

The Wachowski siblings have a very long history over at Warner Bros. but with the exception of the Matrix Trilogy, none of their movies have had great financial success.

Speed Racer/Cloud Atlas tanked and let’s not kid ourselves, by the looks of it, Jupiter Ascending will not be much better.

We’ve been told that the Wachowski’s have already started the writing process with early treatments and outlines already turned into the studio. No word if they will want to direct but my money says “Claro que Si!”.

I have really mixed feelings about this if it’s true. The Matrix is one of the best…

Watch Ellen Degeneres Opening Oscars Bit

Watch Ellen Degeneres Opening Oscars Bit

As usual, I’m too busy with Church and family for The Oscars. Maybe one year I’ll watch but I’m really just much more interested in finding out whot he winners are after the fact. Kind of strange for a guy who likes movies I know, but I would just rather watch the movies.

But I did enjoy watching Ellen DeGeneres opening bit. Seth McFarlane hosted last year and while he was not universally hated, many think that he was way too low class. The universal opinion is that DeGeneres had much more class, but was not overly stuffy. This can be proved by her opening bit which poked fun an pretty much…

The Oscar Winners

The Oscar Winners
ABC News

Sorry I’m getting started on posts so late today. We had an ice storm last night that has covered the roads with ice, and somehow took out my home internet. The roads have finally been cleared enough for me to make it to a McDonald’s (I know, I know) with free Internet and get some posts going.

So, anyway, enough of the boring stuff, here are the Oscar winners as reported by ABC news.

Best Picture: “12 Years a Slave.”

Actor: Matthew McConaughey, “Dallas Buyers Club.”

Actress: Cate Blanchett, “Blue Jasmine.”

Supporting Actor: Jared Leto, “Dallas Buyers Club.”

Supporting Actress: Lupita…

‘Minecraft’ Film Adaptation to be Developed by WB

‘Minecraft’ Film Adaptation to be Developed by WB
Adam Chitwood — Collider

I discovered Minecraft sometime last year and went through quite a long period of time of being addicted to what appears on the surface to be a rather simple game. For those of you out there who have given the survival/creation game a try know exactly what I’m talking about. 

Now what if I told you that the game was being adapted into a film? 

That’s right! Collider reports that Warner Bros. has acquired the film rights to this popular video game, hot off the success of the very successful The LEGO Movie.

Indeed, Deadline reports that Warner Bros. has tapped LEGO Movie co-producer Roy Lee…

The Flood is Coming in new Trailer and TV Spot for ‘Noah’

The Flood is Coming in new Trailer and TV Spot for ‘Noah’

I have two little quibbles with the new full length trailer. First, what’s the deal with the apparent raining of fire? Secondly, the purpose of the ark was not to “protect” the innocent. The purpose of the ark was to save God’s people — the remnant he had chosen. But these are the exact sorts of things I’m expecting this film to get wrong, and if those are the only things I would have to quibble with after I see this film I will be pleasantly surprised.

It is interesting to see Hollywood tackling anything like this right now. Biblical films used to be a big thing many years ago but that has…

Full Length ‘Godzilla’ Trailer

Full Length ‘Godzilla’ Trailer

You know, I think we may actually have the technology to do Godzilla right this time around. So far, there has been no snickering or cheesiness in anything I’ve seen promoting this film yet. And even though I can’t say I care very much for the Godzilla story, I reckon I’ll just have to see this film. I think this is the sort of reboot that could do very well.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Bryan Cranston, David Strathairn, Ken Watanabe, Juliette Binoche and Sally Hawkins are the stars and the film makes its debut on May 16th.

Netflix and Comcast Sitting in a Tree…

Netflix and Comcast Sitting in a Tree…
Dan Rayburn — StreamingMediaBlog

On Sunday, Comcast and Netflix announced a commercial interconnect relationship between the two companies, which is in the very early stages of implementation, and as a result, many who clearly don’t understand how the Internet works are writing about the news. Those who don’t cover network infrastructure for a living should not be trying to explain the technical details behind today’s announcement. Articles from mainstream outlets like TechCrunch, WSJ, NPR, Time and many others aren’t even getting the basics right. Words like transit, peering, speed, bandwidth, capacity, etc. are being used…

New ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ Trailer

New ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’ Trailer

This new Spider-Man series continues to look to my eyes and artistic sensibilities like cheep, and quite cheesy knock off of the potential locked up in the Spider-Man franchise. The jokes are innapropriately timed, the villain looks completely stupid, Andrew Garfield continues to be a very poor Peter Parker/Spider-Man, and in general I see no reason why I will like this second installment any better than the first.

The only redeeming quality is Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacy. But I don’t think even she can save this film just like she couldn’t the last time either.

Don’t hate me guys, I know I’m…

Harold Ramis Passes Away at 69

Harold Ramis Passes Away at 69
Variety

Harold Ramis, best known as an actor in “Ghostbusters” and “Stripes” and a writer/director for “Caddyshack” and “Groundhog Day” died Monday died today from complications related to auto-immune inflammatory vasculitis, a disease he battled for four years. He was 69.

I’m really sad, guys. Ghostbusters is one of my favorite comedy movies, and I also like Groundhog Day quite a bit. Ramis has been trying to make Ghostbusters 3 for several years now, but I doubt that it will ever be seen through now that he is gone. 

Rest in peace.

‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ TV Spot with MAJOR HUGE SPOILER!

‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ TV Spot with MAJOR HUGE SPOILER!

Seriously guys, don’t watch this unless you want a huge spoiler to be revealed to you. Now, keep in mind this is the official marketing campaign and Marvel has proven themselves very adept with spoilers. And an argument can be made — quite successfully made I might add given how they handled the whole Manderin thing with Iron Man 3 — that if Marvel floats it out there they want you to know because they have something up their sleeves. Still, this trailer contains a possibly huge plot detail that, if it turns out to be true and played straight, I wish I did not know going in.

But I’m TJ, and…
