A cinematic plea for ethnic harmony maybe? Well, no, not exactly.
Prolific screenwriter and second time director Jonathan Hensleigh‘s name hasn’t always been a sure stamp of high quality cinema so far. But this second film from the director of 2004’s “The Punisher” looks like grimy fun. With a cast led by Ray Stevenson (who played the Punisher in a movie not directed by Hensleigh) and featuring, among others, Christopher Walken, Val Kilmer, Vincent D’Onofrio, Paul Sorvino, and Robert Davi, a criminally good time would seem to be nearly a sure thing. Nearly.
H/t /Film.
For some reason clever net prankster(s) at a site called “Fuck Yeah, Ryan Gosling” have been picking on the excessively skilled and excessively pretty actor Ryan Gosling with a ‘net meme featuring the words, “hey girl.” If you have seen them, then you’ve got some company and that would include Ryan Gosling. Check out this bit of high-end junketeering for the formerly NC-17 rated “Blue Valentine.”
H/t to Film Drunkard Vince Mancini.
While Bernie Sanders did his thing on the floor of the senate today, Hollywood liberals, and a few conservatives too, we’re busy doing their thing so that the guys who owned all the studios would have all the more money to save from their big, big tax break. To wit…
* Robert Rodriguez and the other makers of the modestly budgeted “Machete” got a nasty surprise from the Texas Film Commission, which appears to be reneging on $1.7 million in tax rebates. As reported by the Wall Street Journal, It has something to do with a law against providing the incentives to films portraying Texas and/or Texans negatively. Every film portrays people negatively. This reeks of political selectivity, probably related to the film’s deliberately nonpartisan lampooning of anti-immigrant hysteria and demagogic politicians. “Machete” goes out of its way to avoid naming the evil politician played by Robert De Niro as a member of either party, in fact.
If Texas doesn’t change it’s tune, and fast, I agree for once with the L.A. Times‘ Patrick Goldstein and seriously hope nobody from outside the state shoots a single foot of film in Texas until such time as the state seeks to elect non-mouthbreathers to statewide office. They have, indeed, fucked with the wrong Mexican.
The trailer for the first 100% 3D live-action superhero movie — at least that I can think of — starring Christopher Helmsworth, Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins and a bunch more folks is online.
According to earlier slightly spoilery reports, Thor’s funny book alter ego, Donald Blake, shows up at the end of the movie somehow. Neither hide nor hair of him here, however. Also, it looks like maybe a bit more of it is set on earth than those earlier reports indicate.
