Weekend Box Office: WALL-E First, Jolie Close

As expected by pretty much everyone who has heard of the name Pixar before, the animated company’s “WALL-E” met and exceeded expectations in its debut weekend, taking in an estimated $62.5 million, good enough for the story about a junk robot who meets a more high-tech version on a junkyard Planet Earth to claim the [...]

Wanted (2008) Movie Review #2

At the rate that Hollywood is cranking through comic books to fill up its studios, film worthy comics may soon become as scarce as crude oil. The latest entry is “Wanted,” helmed by Russian action golden boy du juor, Timur Bekmambetov (director of the currently in progress “Night Watch” vampire trilogy). Based on [...]

Wanted (2008) Movie Review

“Night Watch” (2004) put Russian director Timur Bekmambetov on the map. Based on the novel by Sergei Lukyanenko, it tells of the ancient battle between light (good) and dark (evil) and the man who will decide which side will triumph. Why did this Russian language film make such a splash? It’s a visual stunner with [...]

Wanted Guys Already Talking Sequels. So What Else is New?

My fellow movie site guys always find ways to surprise me. Here’s one: they’re shocked that the guys behind “Wanted” are already talking about making a sequel to their not-yet-opened movie. Guys, really? You’re shocked by this “news”? Movie people are always “talking” about sequels (or in some cases, trilogies!) to movies that haven’t opened [...]

Wanted Clip: Killing People is Fun

If all the “Wanted” clips are any indication, shooting helpless people when they least expect it is really fun, especially when Angelina Jolie and her teasing nakedness is there to lend you a hand. This latest “Wanted” clip has Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) giving the middle finger to gravity and suspension of disbelief by taking [...]

Latest Red Band Trailer for Wanted

Here’s the latest trailer for Timur Bekmambetov’s “Wanted”; it’s basically the same trailer I posted a few days ago, except this one is labeled “Red Band”, which means it includes additional footage of bloodletting and Morgan Freeman drops the F-bomb, which is, let me say, really strange to hear. Morgan Freeman just shouldn’t cuss, man, [...]

Finally! A Kick-Ass U.S. Trailer for Wanted

Not that long ago I posted a Russian trailer for the new Angelina Jolie movie “Wanted” and lamented the fact that, although I couldn’t understand a single thing being said in the trailer (it being in Russian and all), I still thought it was at least 100 times better than anything I’ve seen from its [...]

Why Wanted the Movie is not like Wanted the Comic Book

One of the major grumbles about the upcoming Angelina Jolie movie “Wanted” is that it’s nothing like the comic books by Mark Millar. Or, actually, there are parts of it, like the set-up in the beginning, that are like the comics, but the major thrust of the comics have been drastically altered. The comics were [...]

As part of their MTV Movie Awards showcase, MTV has put up new clips for “Wanted”, “Hancock”, and “Twilight” that you probably saw on TV if you were watching the MTV Movie Awards today.
