tv news

I just read we will see a new hulk cartoon which i would be excited but this new cartoon sounds dumb and lame. The title is hulk and the agents of smash. It will have red hulk, she hulk, A-bomb, mybe the hulks son. The title sucks and makes it sound dumb. I rather see a new cartoon about my fave monster hero the hulk. I do like this cartoon will have she hulk, who i,m a big fan of and she,s been around long enough and has enough storys of her own that someone could do a good she-hulk cartoon. I like to see a hulk cartoon first season be 25 episodes long and have it be mostly based on the original comic book series but they could come up with new original storys as well.

review of james bond book

I finished reading the new james bond book and it was good. I liked it. This new book is rebooting the book version of 007. The books have been like the movies in that bond became ageless and they never talked about how old he was. In this new book bond is around my age 34, the rest of our fave characters are back like M, miss moneypenny, felix, mary goodnight, bill tanner. I have to tell everyone we do see Q but it,s not our Q we know and love, it,s a brand new character, I would rather the author had given the character a new nickname. The author changes bonds history so that if this new book becomes a big enough hit to become a new series there will be a ongoing storyline about how bonds mother might have been a spy. The bad guys were business men for this first book, so no new dr.no, goldfigner type bad guys yet. I could picture the book being a good 007 movie. The story is decent, the action is good, we see bond acting like a spy instead of like a superhero, 007 does have some new gadgets to play with, it,s stuff you could believe it to be real. There are some good bond girls in this book. It makes for good summer reading. We see 007 in some hand to hand fights and see some good gun battles. I give it 3 stars. I,m going to reread some of the original james bond books.

random thought of the day

There was talk about doing stephen kings dark tower series, which is 7 books long as 3 movies and a tv series. I just read it,s not going to happen and i have to say good. Theres no way in hell you could try doing all 7 books as 3 movies and even if the tv series were to be based on some of the books it still would,t work and i,ll tell you why. Theres just too much story to do it the way they were planning too. Lets think about how they might have done it, movie 1 would be based on the first book then season 1 of the tv show would be book 2 then the 2nd movie would be based on book 3 then season 2 would cover book 4 then the last movie would be based on the last book. So they would be leaving out books 5 and 6 and you really can,t leave out anything. The last book ties up everything from the books and even answers stuff that happend in kings other books. Anyone taking on the dark tower as a movie series needs to treat it the same way the harry potter movies were treated. You need to do it as 7 movies and stay very faithful to the books. If harry potter was a kids movie series then hollywood needs to think of the dark tower as a fantasy series for grown ups. These movies sould be just as big, epic as lord of the rings but something more for grown ups. I think the biggest problem will be these movies will have to be RATED R. hollywood just does,t want to take a risk on a R RATED FANTASY MOVIE. Unless the dark tower movies are R RATED then there is no point in even trying to do them. If hollywood trys to water them down by making the movies PG-13, then i say find a another fantasy series to make into the next big thing and leave the dark tower series alone. Tell me what you think, do you agree or disagree with me.

My thoughts on harry potter series

I have been thinking about the harry potter series and I wonder if we will ever see anything like harry potter again. My generation had the star wars series, this generation had the harry potter series. It all started with the books in 1997 then slowly people started hearing about this kids book called harry potter and everyone started reading it. Then the rest of the world discovered harry potter when the first movie came out in 2001. I thought harry potter was just some kids book then i saw grown ups, business men and women reading what i thought was just a kids book. I thought to myself i have to give this book a try and see what all this hype is about. I took it out from the library and was hooked right from the first page and when i finished reading that first book I wanted to start to reread it but i wanted to now read book 2 and after that i had to wait a little while then i got to read book 3 and I wanted book 4 but had to wait like a year for it to come out. This is the only book series where each book really is better then the last one. The last book did a wonderful job of wrapping up everything and the ending was perfect. I doubt we will ever see something like this grab the whole world like harry potter did. These books and movies had something for everyone.

My review of harry potter and the deathly hallows

I saw the last harry potter movie today and all i can say is WOW. I can,t remember the last time i was so excited for a movie like the last harry potter. IT WAS JUST EXCELLENT. THE BEST MOVIE I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME. WHAT A FANTASTIC MOVIE. They got the end right. I could do the fanboy thing and nitpick the movie but it,s so good that i,m not going to do that. They did justice to snapes story, mrs.weasleys fight with bellatrix was great but sould have been longer, we do see ron and hermiones big kiss but it got changed which is too bad. Alan rickman gives his best performance ever in this last movie. It,s the most fun i have had at the movies in years. It is a 4 star movie. run out and see it.

movie news

Well arnold schwarzeneggers next movie will be a western. Yes Arnold really will be starring in a western movie. Everyone who knows me knows arnold is my all time fave action hero. I love arnold but i just can,t picture arnold in a western movie. I started to try to picture arnold as a cowboy and it just was,t working but then i thought if someone were to remake westworld then arnold would make perfect sense and if they cast arnold as the bad guy that be perfect casting. But this sounds like it will be a real western movie and if i can,t buy the idea of arnold in a western then hollywood is going to a hell of a hard time selling the idea of arnold in a western to movie fans. Oh i looked for westworld on amazon and found it for only 5$. Yes i ordered it. I want to hear what you think about the idea of arnold in a western movie.

random thought of the day

Well john carpenters new movie came out today and it,s only playing at one movie theatre. I feel bad for john carpenter, his new movie seems like it never had a chance and to make it even worse it,s getting a very limited release. I always feel bad for any film maker that i like gets screwed like this. The movie sould have came out in the fall, like right before halloween. This movie will be a big bomb and make no money at all. When stuff like this happens to a film maker, it makes things harder for them to get there next movie made. The reviews on it have pretty much said it sucks which does,t surprise me because someone else wrote the movie and carpenter was hired to make it. I think carpenter only agreed to make it because he been away so long and must have just wanted to get his name out there again and remined people hey i,m still here. I expect his next movie will be his real return and will be a true blue john carpenter movie where he writes, dircets, does the music score. I guess i,ll wait for this movie to come out on dvd to see it.

random thought of the day

I have watched the preview for batman year one and it looks excellent. This is a direct to dvd animated movie. Alot of year one was used in the movie batman begins but this animated movie sould be a more faithful version of the comic book. Because of how good year one looks, i now have high hopes for the animated movie of the dark knight returns.

book news

The last wheel of time book has been delayed until early next year. I just hope this means the book will be the longest book ever and it sould make stephen kings door stopper size books look small. This book will be huge. I just hope it has a good ending and i hope most of the book is non stop action. I hope it hits the ground running and does,t stop until the last page.

book review

I just finished reading the last spenser book by robert parker. The book is called sixkill. I,m going to start off by saying i,ll miss spending time with spenser and reading about his newest case he,s working on. I remember watching the tv show spenser for hire in reruns and was a fan of the show then much later on i picked up one of the spenser books and read it and after finishing it. I went back and started reading the book series from book 1 all the way up to the newest book that was out at the time. I became a big fan of the book series and i think the early books are still the best ones and the books did get better as they went on. Ever long running book series has it,s ups and downs, each book is hit or miss and after some point i feel the books became more miss then hit. It,s only because of how much i liked spenser that i kept reading each new book. It,s a shame the series ended with sixkill. It,s not a bad book but the story is somewhat better then the last few books and as much as i hate to say it but it was boring. Not nearly as exciting as the older books, only a few fights and one very fast gun fight. It was still fast paced and still funny. If your a spenser fan then take it out of the library or wait for the paperback to buy the book. I give the last spenser book 2 stars.
