Don’t Ever Cross Alex Cross

Posted on by

Tyler Perry as Alex Cross?  Yeah, that could work, although I have to admit it was a bit of surprise to see Madea taking on the role of James Patterson’s detective.

I liked the poster a lot better at first glance, but the more I look at it the more the layout bugs me.  All of the white space to the left and the fact that Matthew Fox and Tyler Perry are in the same pose just makes the poster fall a bit flat.  I also think that they could have come up with a better tag line than: Don’t Ever Cross Alex Cross.  The trailer is interesting though.

Jamie Foxx is One Bad Cowboy

Posted on by

That’s one mean lookin’ cowboy.  Almost hard to believe it’s Jamie Foxx in a publicity still for Quentin Tarantino’s Django set for a Christmas 2012 release.  I’m a Tarantino fan and apparently so are Leonardo DiCaprio, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson, Gerald McRaney, Don Johnson, Anthony LaPaglia, Tom Wopat, James Remar, and James Russo since they’re appearing in the film along with Jamie Foxx. 

You can see more stills for Django here thanks to the cowboys at ComingSoon.



Chris Flick Awards Sly…

Chris Flick of Capes and Babes makes his first appearance in my Stallone Theme Sketch Collection. I had the good fortune to sit with Chris, Thomas Zahler of Love and Capes , LittleJohn312 and Patricia at last year’s Heroes Con Drink and Draw event. What a great evening! Ah, but I digress…

Chris Flick worked up this cool sketch of Sly accepting a well-deserved award for his amazing working on Rambo. You can learn more about Chris as well as check out his popular Cape and Babes webcomic.



Skyfall Goes 1-1

Posted on by

I’m a big fan of Daniel Craig as James Bond.  In fact, I’ll go as far as to to say that Casino Royal is my favorite of all the Bond films.  Ok, once the booing dies down, we’ll continue.  Yes, Sean Connery *is* James Bond.  Ok, I’ll even say Connery is my favorite Bond. 

I’m just trying to establish that I’m a big fan of Daniel Craig as Bond.  So it surprises me that I don’t like the teaser poster for his latest outing as 007 in Skyfall.  Every time I look at it I see an old man.

If you’d like to see a big as the Sky-fall version of the poster, you can thanks to the friendly folks at  IMPAwards.

Since I wrote my opinion on the Skyfall poster, I see that the movie’s teaser trailer was released.  Now that, I like.  Maybe because Daniel Craig looked more like Bond than some old guy dressed as Bond.

Robin Gibb – R.I.P.

Posted on by

Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees died yesterday after a long battle with cancer. He was 62.

I’ve always been a Bee Gees fan. I liked their music before the disco craze hit, loved the stuff that they did during it, and continued to enjoy their work even after it was no longer cool to do so.  One of my stations on Pandora is named Bee Gees Radio.   62 is way too young to die.

We’ve lost another talent, but as cliche as it sounds, the music will live on. Our prayers go out to Robin Gibb’s family, friends and fans.

Donna Summer R.I.P.

Posted on by

Donna Summer passed away today after an extended battle with lung cancer.  Ms. Summer was 63. 

Donna Summer was known as the Queen of Disco and rightly so.  She rose to fame in the 1970’s and helped lead a generation into the disco craze.  In 1975, she co-wrote and performed her first hit, Love to Love You Baby which shot up the charts.  Hit after hit followed. 

Ms. Summer had 19 number one hits on the dance charts.  She was the first female singer to have four number one singles in a 13 month period, had three consecutive double LPs to hit #1 on the charts, and she won five Grammys. Donna Summer’s music helped define the Disco era.

I always liked Donna Summer’s music.  I can remember being in Camelot Music the first time I heard her sing, Love to Love You, Baby.  The song came on and she started singing and I was hooked… along with a generation of music lovers.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Donna Summer’s family, friends and fans.



You Nazty Spy!

In January 1940, as World War II raged in Europe, The Three Stooges filmed one of their most popular shorts, You Nazty Spy! 

Not only was You Nazty Spy! Moe and Larry’s favorite of all their shorts, it also marked the first time that Hitler was spoofed in film and Moe was the first American actor to play Hitler.

You can read more interesting and amusing facts about You Nazty Spy! here and here.
