Matt Damon to battle Teddy Ruxpin in “The Bourne Ultimatum”?

October 3, 2006 /

Okay, technically his name is Gael Garcia Bernal, and he is not actually a talking teddy bear…but come on: Look at that face. Those friendly eyes. That winsome smile. He might as well be made by Mattel, stuffed with polyester fiberfill, and sitting on a shelf at Kay Bee Toys.

A talented actor? Absolutely. A handsome man? Definitely — as celebrity exes such as Natalie Portman would surely attest.

But a “superkiller” capable of posing any sort of serious threat to our able-bodied (and substantially taller) hero Jason Bourne?

Not on your life, Teddy my boy.

DVD shuffle: 10/03/06

October 3, 2006 /

New on DVD this week:

1) X-Men: The Last Stand – RENT: I may be the only fanboy that actually liked the saga-ending threequel, but that doesn’t mean that I’d spend my hard-earned cash on this single-disc release. Especially when a two-disc special edition will be in stores by Christmas.

2) Thank You For Smoking – BUY: Best. Movie. Of. The. Year. ‘Nuff said.

3) The Woods – RENT: Lucky McGee’s throwback horror movie may have been shuffled straight to DVD, but it’s still one of my Must See Movies of the Year. As in I still want to see it; like, really bad.

Also out this week are reisusses of classic guy flicks like “Scarface,” “Point Break,” “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” and “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.”

P.S., I love Spike

October 2, 2006 /

“Buffy,” “Angel,” and “Smallville” alum James Marsters has landed his most high-profile movie role to date, starring with Hilary Swank in the film adaptation of best-selling Cecilia Ahern novel “P.S., I Love You.” The book is about a widow whose late husband leaves her 10 tasks to complete in order to work her way through the grieving process; Marsters will play the best friend of Swank’s deceased husband.

With a built-in audience of the book’s legions of fans, plus a supporting cast that includes Kathy Bates, Gina Gershon, Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Denny from “Grey’s Anatomy”), and potentially Lisa Kudrow…this is one project to keep an eye on.

And the role of Iron Man will be played by…

September 29, 2006 /

Robert Downey Jr.?

That’s the word on the block, anyways, and while I don’t particularly think it’s a great choice, it’s definitely an interesting one.

Based upon Marvel’s iconic Super Hero, Iron Man tells the story of Tony Stark, a billionaire industrialist and genius inventor who is kidnapped and forced to build a devastating weapon. Instead, using his intelligence and ingenuity, Tony builds a high-tech suit of armor and escapes captivity. Upon his return to America, Tony must come to terms with his past. When he uncovers a nefarious plot with global implications, he dons his powerful armor and vows to protect the world as Iron Man.

Downey has proven himself versatile many a times, and it looks like Marvel is really looking to make a splash with their first independently produced feature film. Jon Favreau is set to direct, with a summer 2008 release date.
