a lot of things happened. metallica's death magnetic has come out. september 15 in malaysia i think. the day that never comes, their first single from the album is quite catchy. the video was released too. check it out.
the solos as you can see..are back. the best part is when the guy with the jump start cable appears. my apocalypse, unforgiven III, and the judas kiss are my favourite from this album. i think kirk just went crazy with the wah pedal this time. good for him!!
LONG LIVE METALLICA!
also from the movie world, a lot's been happening. i'm gonna go through this alphabetically so i don't anything. first, there's brothers bloom. a movie starring adrien brody, mark ruffalo and rachel weisz. and rinko kikuchi. em...the mute one from babel. and her character's name in this movie is 'bang bang'. i think it's because she likes to blow things up. so the brothers ruffalo and brody are con men. and for their last con, it involves rachel weisz. and something like that. so here's the trailer. everything is so colourful and matsui from oceans is in it.
choke. a comedy about a sex addict, sam rockwell(snow angels, the green mile) who ''chokes'' in restaurants and stuff and ma
kes.....just watch the trailer.
clint eastwood directs changeling. a piece set in 1928. angelina jolie's son is kidnapped. when her son is found, she soon realises that the boy's not him. john malkovich plays a pastor who's trying to bring down the l.a.p.d and their secrets. trailer looks real good. first i thought maybe the boy's an alien or something. but it seems like some sort of cover up.
matthew broderick starrs in diminished capacity. an indie looking flick. about a man who suffers from memory loss and decides to take a trip back home and meets up with his uncle, alan alda and an old flame. his uncle has an old baseball card that is worth a lot..matthew tries to help him sell it. then the fun begins.
Doubt, is based on a play. meryl streep plays a nun who suspects a priest, phillip seymour hoffman of abusing a black student. amy adams also plays a nun who's sort of in the middle of them. meryl doesn't really have proof. eventually amy realises that meryl just doesn't like him. at first, when i heard amy was in the movie, i was like shit. no. enchanted. no. then i saw the trailer, i think she would play her part quite well. her innocent face is needed, i think.
on the scoring ground, howard shore has been given the task. originally assigned to phillip glass, headache extraordinaire. haha. no, the guy's a genius, really. but personally i feel some of his music from movies don't work well as a stand alone. i heard glass was pulled out due to scheduling conflicts.
i have no
doubt that both shore and this movie will do well. the movie comes out december 12. in the u.s.
Fireflies In The Garden. its already been released. but a limited release. so maybe november when most of us get to see it. the thing is, i found out about this movie when browsing through javier navarette's page on imdb. he's the guy behind the music for pan's labyrinth. and now he's doing this. julia roberts, ryan reynolds, willem dafoe, emily watson, carrie-ann moss, ioan gruffudd and hayden paynettiere. hellava cast. except the last one. it's a drama about a tragedy that happens, and the family starts falling apart, i think. not much info about the movie.
daniel craig starrs in flashbacks of a fool. about this actor(craig) looking back at his life and what a fool he's been. haha.
Flash Of Genius. ahh. greg kinnear of little miss sunshine is in this. he plays a college professor /inventor who invents the first windshield wiper. ford, the car company wants to buy it, but instead they steal the idea and don't name him as inventor. supposedly a true story.
Milk. Harvey Milk. Sean Penn. Emile Hirsch. Josh Brolin. James Franco. sean penn plays the first gay elected official. another true story. lots of speeches. lots of inspirational moments. classic penn. the director's gay too, i think.
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. starring michael cera and kat dennings. a teenage comedy. michael plays a high school student in a band.
he meets her one day and she asks him to be her boyfriend for 5 minutes.
i don't know what the title means. michael cera was really good in arrested development, juno, and superbad. trailer looks good.
i can't remember seeing her before.
Mark Mothersbaugh's doing the score. He also scored all of Wes Anderson's movies. cant wait.
anne hathaway starrs in rachel getting married. rachel who's been in and out of rehab for the past 10 years returns home for the weekend for her sisters wedding.
directed by jonathan demme. the guy behind the silence of the lambs, philadelphia, and the manchurian candidate.
trailer looks really good. i'm definitely gonna see this. the song at 0:58 sounds good.
that's it for now.
