New Trailer For The Lincoln Lawyer

A new trailer for The Lincoln Lawyer has hit the internet. The film has a star-studded cast including Matthew McConaughey, Marisa Tomei, Ryan Phillippe, John Leguizamo, Michael Pena and William H. Macy among others. The movie is based on a Michael Connelly novel and centers around a lawyer who uses a Lincoln Town Car driven by one of his former clients as his law office and he defends shady, mostly guilty people. Hmmm, let's take a lot at the preview and see what it looks like. Well my initial thoughts are that Matthew McConaughey still has the lawyer thing down-pact. The story seems pretty unoriginal, but what story isn't these days? Just re-imagining or adding new twists to the same story seems to be the way it goes now. I think the preview is building it up as Ryan Phillippe being guilty, but I'm not so sure that is going to be the case. Either way, with a cast as impressive as this one, it may be worth a shot.

Gulliver’s Travels Review

Normally, the previews of a film can actually suade one's opinion on the actual presentation itself. Take Avatar: I knew when I went to see this movie that no matter what, I was in for something special. An Alice in Wonderland preview looked amazing, but it only increased my desire to see Avatar. Sometimes you may go to watch a movie which you had been anticipating, but what ends up happening is you see amazing previews and then the movie itself can't compare or is kind of lame. This happened with Terminator: Salvation (which I saw in theaters and didn't care for much, but then re-watched it at home and ended up enjoying it more). With Gulliver's Travels, I kind of wanted to see it but I also knew it had the potential to suck. So what happens. I go see it at 10 a.m., which is pretty early to go to a movie for me. The first thing I notice are three terrible previews for what looks to be three of the worst movies ever made. Don't ask me their names because I have tried hard to block them out of my memory. I think one of them was the new Big Momma's House sequel. Before the movie even began, I was in a bad mood and wishing I was anywhere else.

Little Fockers Review

Little Fockers is the third installment in the Meet the Parents franchise. I have to say that I thought this one was going to continue the downward spiral that the series had taken after the initial triumph that the original Meet the Parents was. I expected the sequel, Meet the Fockers, to be excellent, with the additions of Dustin Hoffman and Barbara Streisand (who were both fantastic in the movie and had a beautiful chemistry together), but for some reason it just didn't work. Sure there were a few laughs, but like so many sequels, it was unable to match the original's heart. And so now we have the conclusion to the trilogy (hopefully this is in fact a trilogy and they don't go any further with this, which seems unlikely - but you know those Hollywood executives). I am happy to say that I thought Little Fockers recaptures the magic of the first, while adding a little new flavor, thus leaving us with the best one of the series. It has been roughly six years since the conclusion of the second film. Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) and Pam Focker (Teri Polo) now have little twin Fockers running around. Greg has settled into his profession and his role in the family. Jack Byrnes (Robert DeNiro) even appears to finally be accepting Greg. Add to the fact that Jack's health is declining and his other daughter is getting a divorce, well let's just say he needs someone to keep the Byrnes family and legacy running smoothly after he is gone.

Vince Carter Headed To Phoenix

It looks like the Vince Carter experiment failed in Orlando. But it appears that another team will give Vinsanity a shot. ESPN is reporting that the Orlando Magic have traded Carter to the Phoenix Suns, along with Marcin Gortat, Mickeal Pietrus, a 2011 first-round pick and cash considerations. In exchange, the Phoenix Suns will give up Hedo Turkoglu, along with Jason Richardson and Earl Clark.

The Tourist Review

I just had a feeling that this movie would be fun. And fun it was. Oh there are plenty who will differ, and after reading some of the reviews floating around online, it seems disagree they do. And it is true, this movie will probably not win any Oscars, except for maybe cinematography. Haven't seen the original, but The Tourist is actually a remake of a French thriller starring Sophie Marceau and called 'Anthony Zimmer'. But you probably knew that because it seems all movies are remakes now anyway. It is overflowing with cliches, to the point that the plot is more predictable than a Bugs Bunny cartoon. Will Elmer Fudd finally get that pesky wabbit? Doubtful.

Jim Morrison Pardoned 41 Years Later

Jim Morrison has received a posthumous pardon from the Florida Clemency Board, according to the Wall Street Journal. The lead singer of one of the greatest rock bands of all time, who has been dead for nearly 40 years, had been previously sentenced to six months in jail along with a $500 fine for an incident in a March 1, 1969 show in Miami. At the time authorities claimed he had exposed himself to the crowd.

30 Year Anniversary Of John Lennon’s Death

It was thirty years ago today that Mark David Chapman ended the life of former Beatle John Lennon outside of the Dakota building in Manhattan. News of his death spread quickly, in the late hours of December 8th in America, and just as dawn hit in England. In the days before Twitter or the internet or even cable, you may have had to find out in a tough manner. See video below.

The Black Eyed Peas – The Beginning Review

Never was what you would consider a Black Eyed Peas fan. I am a hip-hop fan though, as well as an eighties-music fan, and I think the Peas fall somewhere in between those two genres.
