"Cop Land" photos

Here's a definition of "underrated" - "Cop Land". A modern masterpiece with one of the greatest casts ever assembled: Stallone as a half-deaf sheriff, Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro, Janeane Garofalo, Robert Patrick... And if you think Stallone sucks here, think again. And again. And again. Until you realise he doesn't, but you probably do. But enough with grumbling, enjoy the imagery!

"Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium" stills

This movie looks cheesy as hell. "Night at the Museum" meets "Jumanji", drinks coffee with "Jumanji" and says goodbye to "Jumanji". Basically, it's just "Night at the Museum", which was a pile of shit. But you know someone on the Earth will enjoy it, so here are some images with Dustin, wooden Bateman and Portman. Luckily, I heard Hoffman won't be on screen for the most of the time.

"Nausicaa" stills

Disney and Pixar may be good, but I prefer my good old Myazaki. This guy has a hell of imagination, and he still shows amazing possibilities of 2D animation in this 3D world. Eventually, I'll post photos from all major Myazaki's works, but for now here are stills from "Nausicaa".

"Three Investigators" stills

I fucking loved "Three Investigators" series, in any aspect it was superior to Nancy Drew and the Hardy boys. A super-secret trailer-laboratory hidden in a junk yard? How effin' cool is that! And apparently the movie about three investigators is being made... by Germans! It will be in English, though. I might catch it only out of sheer nostalgia, but come on. We know it will be just another kiddie flick.

First photo from "August Rush"

I'm not familiar with the director, but synopsis for "August Rush" sounds intriguing. Casting includes young prodigy Freddie Highmore, Keri Russell, Jonathan Rhys Meyers and an amazing actor who should fire his agent for participating in "Man of the Year", "RV" and probably "License to Wed" - Robin Williams.

Performing on the streets of New York and cared for by a mysterious stranger (Robin Williams), August (Freddie Highmore) uses his remarkable musical talent to seek the parents (Rhys Meyers and Russell) from whom he was separated at birth.

"The Golden Compass" images

As much as I enjoyed the first book from "His Dark Materials" trilogy, the rest two were big letdowns. I'm not sure what to expect from New Line's adaptation. Kidman and Craig may be good actors, but they doesn't automatically make movie great. Well, as I said, what can you do?..

"Jackie Brown" stills

"Jackie Brown" may not be Quentin's best work, but is certainly an enjoyable movie with a distinctive early 90's feel to it. And that's how De Niro, Jackson and Tarantino looked like 10 years ago.

"Il Buono, il brutto, il cattivo" stills

You may not love spaghetti westerns, but everyone including me pretty much agrees that "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" is an etalon of the genre. Three mortal enemies are about to kick shit out of each other in the middle of nowhere while Morricone's soundtrack Nr289 is playing. What can be more poetic?
