H.P. Lovecraft comes to the big screen.

I am not much of a scary movie or horror film fan for the most part but there are a few movies that stand apart to me. I enjoy mystery mixed with adventure and fantasy with sci-fi blended together well in story's. I love it when a story leads you through a world of mystery where you never know where the story will twist or turn to surprise me as the reader or viewer. This being said I am so happy to finally see that my favorite horror mystery and sci-fi story write H.P. Lovecraft's At The Mountains Of Madness is being turned to a feature film. I will without a doubt be amazing to see. It will scare the hell out of the viewers with a old fashion kind of monster mystery feel.

Now for all those who do not know anything about H.P. Lovecraft. OK so he was an amazing classic horror writer with imagination of epic proportion's. He envisioned a world where creatures from before humans ever walked the earth had come and lived and then had been called God's by man latter. They lived in a dark time on the planet and had power greater than we could ever imagine. They had such evil in their being that fear of them would make you mad. They were called the old ones and they came from the sky. Well the story's take place in the 1920's and they are filled with mystery and wonder. The story's keep your mind wanting to know what will happen next at all times. I personally love the story called The call of Cthulhu by H.P. Lovecraft but every story by him seems to take you deep into a dark time when monsters and evil seemed to be everywhere in the dark and men searched for strange realms and places where no man had ever been before. It was always about the adventure and the interesting things that happen along the way.


Director Guillermo Del Toro & Producer James Cameron
I will enjoy seeing just how the new film At The Mountains Of Madness will be on the big screen. I know it will be good knowing who it will be made by after all. The film will be directed by Guillermo del toro the famed director of both Hellboy films and the Producer of it will be none other then the man who made Alien and Avatar James Cameron.
 This will be done right knowing that
they both will be making the movie.


At the Mountains of Madness will most likely look like the king Kong movie that Peter Jackson made. It will have a city that dates back to before man ever walked the earth and strange monster like creatures that will kill almost all the members of the group of explorers that end up there. It film will have an alternite version of how the human race became but just remeber its just a story. I think it will be kind of like the older movie called the Thing that by the way is also being re-made into a new film.
It will be so creepy to see for sure. I want to see how much the story stays the same and how the movie version will be changed as well. It will take an amazing imagination to create most of the alien landscapes that are shown in the movie but without a doubt it will make me feel that old fashion horror feeling that horror movies used to have back when it was all about the mystery and fear not the gore and torcher like horror movies these days seem to be stuck on so much. I really hate that when they just shock you by cutting off someones head right on camera and showing all the gore like that is the whole point of a scary movie or something. I like it when they scare you with your own imagination like the shining did or like some of the older films from 30 years back. I know all the younger kids these days don't know anything about that but they really should because those movies back then were the classics that made it possible to make the films that are here today. Well anyway H.P. Lovecraft is one of the greatest writes I've ever known of in the dark and scary old style. He created such great story's that they lasted the test of time and are still called the real classics today. I will always enjoy his version of what scary is because he scares you with your own imagination and that is what really stands out about his book's so please anyone reading this check out some of his work. He really was ahead of his time. Well thanks again for reading my take on movies I like. I hope you will enjoy the story's by H.P. Lovecraft as much as I do.

The Hobbit... In 2012 it will be a movie at least part 1

The Hobbit movie has been a project of director Peter Jackson's for sometime now.
its been back and forth up and down for the film with everything from who would direct it to actors strikes. The film has been through hell and back. Peter Jackson is now directing it. instead of just producing the movie. That is so good for all the fans of the Lord of the rings films.There is no doubt in my mind that he is the perfect one for the job. I read the Hobbit book and loved it. I even sent it to my girlfriend. I truly loved the story and class the Hobbit book as one of the greatest story's I've read ever. So when I found out it is finally being turned into a feature film. I was so happy. I seen all the Lord of the rings films and own them on DVDs even. I think that the Hobbit is better though. I loved how the story had more of a adventure feel. The Lord of the rings story's has that too but its more about war and the movement to get rid of the evil ring. In the hobbit it feels more like a lighter young adults kind of story. It really takes me back to a childhood imagination time. Back when the world was new and full of mystery. I like story's that make me feel that way so that being said that is why I like the Hobbit so much.


On the set of the Hobbit in New Zealand
 

The story will be narrated by Frodo and Bilbo.
It will be long like the Lord of the rings so to tell the story best they will turn the story into two parts. The Hobbit Part .1 and The Hobbit Part .2. This will make it easy on the viewers and also it will make it so the whole story is told with all the detail that it deserves. I know 2012 will be another big year for movies with Superman and Batman movies coming as well but the Hobbit will more then likely be huge when it hits the big screen. I know I will be there to see Bilbo Baggins when he first gets the ring from Gollum in that cave in middle-earth.It will also be nice to see how Bilbo meets Gandalf the gray for the first time. I can't wait to see it the way I imagined it when I read the story so long ago.
Well I hope the movie will move along without any more troubles. I will be watching close on the work on this movie as time moves on....

X MEN first class stands apart from the rest.

OK so its been a little wile since my last post. OK so here I go again. I seen the X MEN first class trailer and became a fan again. I was kind of sick of the X MEN films for a wile there. They were getting to far away from the heart and soul of it all. I always thought the suits they wear in the films were to far away from the real hero suits from the comic books but now the new X MEN first class film shows then wearing the suits and looking believable too. I like how there taking the film versions serious again and showing new and interesting things that have not been shown in the films yet. I really want the movie to be better then the other X MEN film. I would like it if it was more like watchmen and more adult like with its real life world with hero's in the middle of it all.

I will put this film on my list of must see films because it is taking risks that a lot of films don't these days. The film takes place back when JFK was in office with the cold war at Americas door. It will be interesting to see how the first class of X MEN will handle that time in history. I love that idea for the beginning of the X MEN story's.
I am sold by the trailer and how good the film looks to be. I will be there to see it when it hits the big screen on JUNE 3, 2011... Well I hope you enjoy my posts on here. Please take the time to commit if you have any thoughts about the posts of mine. I would really like that. OK see you next movie...

TRANSFORMERS DARK OF THE MOON SUPERBOWL TRAILER SPOT

I watched the new TRANSFORMERS Dark of the moon trailer not to long ago. Well I should say I watched it over and over like 12 times in a row just to see what was happening in it. It has so much action that everything is moving fast. I did how ever love every part of it. It looks so much bigger and badder then ever before. I felt overwhelmed with all the action and war that takes place between the autobots and decepticons factions in the trailer. It really feels like a huge movie. I is most likely the final film of Transformers so no doubt they are going out with a bag. In the trailer I seen some great characters from the old cartoon brought to life on the big screen such as Bumblebee and a new flying Optimus Prime and as I seen a deceptican bird swoop down to attack a white car. I believe the bird to be Laserbeak. If Laserbeat is in the film then I know for sure Soundwave is then. Laserbeak in a smaller decepticon  comes from Soundwave. I seen Prime fighting lots of attacking decepticans but still did not see Shockwave the evil decepticon that is 2nd only to megatron. I also see lots and lots of decepticon drop ships floating above the city and wagging war on the buildings. I think the movie trailer left me with more questions then answers but that's OK. I will see this movie no matter what anyway.
Over all the way the trailer grabbed my attention and kept it was just freaking awesome. I really enjoy films that make you feel like your right there in the heat of the moment and Transformers movies always do that so well. I just hate that I have to wait tell 7-1-11 to see
 the new movie.

SUPERMAN begins all over again With a new actor

Warner Bros has finally found the new actor to play the man of steel. Yes that is right SUPERMAN will return to the big screen again with an all new reboot of the franchise. The new superman will be played by Henry Cavill. The new film not tided to any of the other films will be directed by Zack Snyder who also directed 300 and watchmen. Christopher Nolan will be one of the high lighted producers of the film who also has his own films that are most memorable such as BATMAN BEGINS and most noted DARK KNIGHT. Together Zack snyder and Christopher Nolan will most likely make this the kick ass Superman movie of all time with
Henry Cavill as the new man of steel. The film will not hit the screens tell 2012 same as the 3rd BATMAN film DARK KNIGHT RISING. It will be a big year for DC comics in 2012 I personally can't wait to see how both movies turn out. One thing is for sure. They will be big and epic movies...

My own selfish ideas of maybe getting noticed for movie ideas.

OK so I am a fan of movies and lots of storey's. I grew up being creative as an artist and somewhat of a writer. I do not have the patience it takes to write a novel about the things I imagine. I have such a huge imagination that a lot of my friends and family tell me to write a book because my ideas come across as epic film quality storey's. I will not give away to much about them because some people like to steel the ideas and make money on them on their own. I hate those people because they ruin it for all the good honest people who like to talk about their ideas with each other.

I fell in love with movies back when I was a child when I used to watch great classic movies like PLANET OF THE APES or THE OMEGA MAN both films star the late great Charlton Heston. I also became a real fan of THX 1138 a great film with a different kind of view of the future. I could go no and on but I think the real one that changed my whole world of thoughts for movies was DARK CRYSTAL a movie made up of only pupit's that are not of this world. The design and detail that went into making that film was so amazing I just loved the style and idea of creatures of a whole other world could be the center for a story with out all the Hollywood crap that gets put into films. It was and is to me still the most creative film ever in history. Jim Henson was a mastermind for making this film a reality. It teaches you to open your whole mind up and make a world totally different from the normal film style.

I was inspired much later in life to create my own little storey's and the first one was much like that film. I created designs and a world with a story like a mix of the Hobbit and Dark Crystal. Here is the cover painting of that story of my own design...

It was a story written and designed completely by me and has all original characters with a animated cartoon look. It was created like 10 years ago before movies like avatar and all the highly creative movies that look as the artist in visioned on film. I think of it as kind of a movie like the hobbit or avatar in its story and look. I always in visioned it to be a movie but I can not say that because I never really wrote the whole story. I have it all in my mind though. I know that story inside and out all the look and feel of every moment in it. It is a adventure story with epic battles and real world lessons taught through the characters journey's through the world as the story moves forward. It also has some twists and turns along the way. I wish I could see my story become a film so bad someday. I know its a dream but I did a lot of work in making it up from scratch and I think there are a lot of people who would enjoy that story too. It speaks to the human heart through out the whole story. I called it THE TALES OF EVERWOOD: Nolin's Quest. I made it thinking that maybe there could be more storey's told later about the characters and places in the story. It would make a good 3 part story like Lord of the rings did.

I have other storey's also but I do not want to give to much away. The other big one I designed was a future sci-fi story with a robot and a teen age boy at the heart of the story. It would be about a ruined future world and an evil empire and how the robot and the boy save the world but that really is not much about the story. It really is so deep and dark but has so much action and lots of surprises. It is a story like STAR WARS but more of a lesson about the human race and how we loose our self's in our technology and faithlessness. I will not put up any art for that story because I don't want to give away any part of it because it is so much a part of me.

I talk about this for simple fun but I really enjoy what I have created in my life as storey's or art whatever it is I just love creating new worlds and new ideas. I am such a creative person all the time that my mind never shuts off. I enjoy the feeling of seeing new creations come to life. There is just so much copying these days with movies and storey's. I just want to see some new ideas on the big screen and hopefully they will have some good ideals in them too. A movie should entertain but also speak to the human heart as well. I truly believe that and I think so should we all. Let the good side win in the storey's. Don't kill off the hero's. In a world full of corruption and negative ideals we need our hero's to show up that Goodness still Win's over evil.... Well thank you for sticking with me through all this. I hope it was interesting over all.

Big blockbuster trailers at Super Bowl 2011

So I am not a football fan in anyway but but this years Super Bowl will be having the best movie trailers showing during the show at some point. I am so freaking hyped up to see the full movie trailer for TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON Feb.6th and after it will be online everywhere I'm sure. Here is the info as shown at www.enewsi.com. I look at that site for most info on movies and anything entertainment. I also check out www.tfw2005.com for all TRANSFORMER news too.


Hope these trailers will be great as they sound. The Captain America: The First Avenger trail will be the 1st time any trailer has been shown for the film so that will for sure be interesting. Over all though I know it will be very entertaining...
