"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?..

First "Dan in Real Life" pictures

From saving the world to saving his love life. "Dan in Real Life" is a new romantic comedy with Almighty Steve Carell, Juliette Binoche, Dane Cook and other fine actors. You can read the full synopsis while thinking what Carell might be playing with Am:

Follows a widower (Carell) with three daughters who writes a parenting column for his local newspaper. His strict rules for behavior are tested when he falls for the girlfriend (Binoche) of his younger brother (Cook).

"I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry" stills

Is Hollywood running out of ideas? I mean, "I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry" looks like an unofficial remake of a french comedy "Le Placard". Veber's movie was hilarious without being stupid or overdone, and I truly recommend it. I don't think "Chuck and Larry" will be half as entertaining.

New "American Gangster" photo

We all know "American Gangster" is this year's "Little Miss Departed". Ridley Scott, Denzel (who looks great in his 52), Russell Crowe and Josh Brolin. How can this be a letdown?

"Cassandra's Dream" key art

And this, my friends, is the newest poster with floating faces of Farrell and McGregor for Woody Allen's thriller / drama "Cassandra's Dream". A lot of people really underappreciate Allen's cinematic abilities. Well, maybe "Scoop" wasn't a masterpiece, but I'm damn sure "Match Point" was. Really looking forward "Cassandra's Dream", which release for some unknown reason is being delayed. Here's synopsis:

The story of two Cockney brothers (Farrell and McGregor) in south London and their relationship with a young woman (Atwell) who lands in London on her search for fortune. She crosses the two men by accident on her path and when one of them falls in love with her, she becomes aware of her power to attract the opposite sex and uses this to the point of leading the two brothers, who are in financial difficulty, into crime, and creating a dangerous rivalry between the two men.

Evolution of John McClaine

Many disagree, but I believe "Die Harder" is the best of the bunch with the original coming close second. The third one was shit. So, at last we have a PG-13 "Die Hard 4.0", and know what? It is not a bad movie. It was over the top at times, it had a stupid "no one remembers heroes" speech, the villain was weak and it felt too busy long in the end. Yes, but it also had exciting stunts, good ol' John, a sidekick, surprisingly well-played by Justin Long and... to hell with it. I'm just saying despite flaws it was an enjoyable film, but far from being a great "Die Hard". 6/10 is a fair mark.

Now, wiping a tear of nostalgia, lets go back and revise John McClaine's character.
