tMF Featured Trailer: Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps

tMF Featured Trailer: Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
When it was announced that Oliver Stone would direct the sequel to his own 1987 film Wall Street, the unified reaction was, “Why?” for a number of reasons.  Wall Street isn’t the first movie that comes to mind when you think of movies that need a sequel and definitley not after 23 years.  Not to mention that Stone hasn't made a decent movie in over a decade.  His last outing, W., lacked the bite that made the director famous, so every part of this seems unneccesary.



Click through to watch the trailer.


Despite any reservations you may share, this first teaser is pretty good.  I would go so far as to say it made me want to see the movie.  When the trailer alone does that, it has done its job.  The current financial climate is certainly a playground for this type of story and it will be interesting to see how differently Stone handles this story today versus where it was in the mid 1980s.  Whether or not the movie will be worth it remains to be seen but for the time being, consider my interest peaked.



Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps opens April 23, 2010.

Spider-Man 4 Villain Is A Vampire?

Spider-Man 4 Villain Is A Vampire?

Sam Raimi, Director of all movies in the Spiderman franchise, spoke in the latest issue of Empire magazine and told them who he’d like to be the featured nemesis of Peter Parker’s alter ego in Spider-Man 4.

“I like it in the Marvel comics when Spider-Man fights Morbius,” said Raimi. “He’s really cool. A vampire! I like that combination of superhero plus supernatural.”

After Spider-Man 3, it was assumed by many that The Lizard would play a major role if there was to be another sequel as he was featured as an important secondary character in the movie playing a mentor-type role to Peter Parker in that film.

t would make sense to see The Lizard and Morbius as the two villains as they would work well together in the same film having had quite a bit of history together in the Spider-Man comics. On top of that, they share obvious similarities: Both are/were doctors, both work with different animals for their experiments and both achieved power from the same method.

Dr. Curt Connors (The Lizard) had his arm amputated due to an injury sustained by a blast while being a military surgeon. Later in life he studied the limb-regenerative capabilities of lizards and long story short, he turned into a humanoid-lizard hybrid.

Dr. Michael Morbius on the other hand, was a Nobel Prize-winning biochemist who suffered from a rare blood disease. Using experiments involving vampire bats and electroshock therapy, he ended up with super strength some side-effects similar to that of Vampirism and now he must drink blood from his victims.


I think this is a great idea for the next Spider-Man movie and if done right, can make up for the mess that was Spider-Man 3. This time they can focus on two characters and the film can be darker-themed with the nature of the characters involved. That being said, I’m getting a little tired of all of the Spidey villains partly redeeming themselves at the end and not being truly bad. That applies for both of these characters who are not entirely bad guys.

We should also not forget that Vampirism is definitely a current hot topic with the success of the Twilight books and movie which is turning into a series of films as well as the True Blood HBO series which is pre-production for a second season.

What do you think of The Lizard and Morbius making their big screen debuts?

Spider-Man 4 brings together Tobey Maguire and Sam Raimi yet again, and is expected to hit theatres in 2011.

The Overnight Socialite by Bridie Clark – Book Review

The Overnight Socialite by Bridie Clark – Book Review
The Overnight Socialite by Bridie Clark was a fun and quick read, the sort of book you would love to have with you to read on a plane or at the beach.  By writing this, I am not implying that it is a simple book, (in fact, I’ve never read a chick lit book that had [...]

The Overnight Socialite by Bridie Clark was a fun and quick read, the sort of book you would love to have with you to read on a plane or at the beach.  By writing this, I am not implying that it is a simple book, (in fact, I’ve never read a chick lit book that had an anthropologist as one of the main characters) I just mean that it was an enjoyable book that didn’t nearly kill you to read by struggling to keep up with every subplot.

The Overnight Socialite is a modern-day take on the wonderful classic play (and later film) Pygmalion.  Lucy Ellis is our Manhattan Eliza Doolittle, who has just been fired from her small potatoes job in fashion and who dreams of making it as a successful fashion designer.  When we are introduced to her she is working in a Garment District assembly line and has just humiliated herself publically during a fashion event by cracking a runway in half and getting stuck bottoms up in it.  She meets Wyatt Hayes IV (Manhattan’s version of Henry Higgins) in a terrible downpour, who is a bored Ph.D. anthropologist who has also recently been dissed by New York’s reigning socialite, Cornelia Rockman, his ex-girlfriend.  When Wyatt spots Lucy, shivering and wet, he boasts to his best friend that he can transform any woman into this seasons ”It” girl.  Lucy, while highly offended, still takes up Wyatt on his offer to transform her into a social luminary.

The rest of the novel highlights Lucy’s trials and tribulations during her physical and social transformation from Midwestern lower-class ways into a highly sought-after Manhattan socialite.  Along the way she entangles time and time again with Cornelia, reigning social queen who is determined to get back with Wyatt and is trying to get to the bottom of Lucy’s sudden appearance on the Manhattan social scene.  

Any fan of chick lit, Manhattan’s social scene, fashion and unlikely romantic tales will enjoy The Overnight Socialite.   I always enjoy a good social satire that balances both romance and fashion.  I am very thankful to have received my review copy of this book, as I read it in one four-hour sitting.

Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo Teleserye

Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo Teleserye
This is the new Teleserye that I am watching everyday. I just need to spend at least half an hour everyday before I go to bed. This relaxes my mind from busy days from work and for my business.

Nothing so specially about the story so far, but since I like the castings, I thought it would be nice to follow the story everyday. It's actually a little boring and I just don't really like how Kris Aquino act. Her acting has improved a lot since the last time I saw her in a movie, but still her talent is far yet to compare to other celebrities who have been in the business for a long time like her. Infact, Kim Chui can be considered as a better actress than Kris Aquino.

Remember Me The Movie

Remember Me The Movie
Me and my kids watch this movie, "Remember Me" starring their favorite young actor Robert Patisson, who plays Tyler, a rebellious young man in New York City who has a strained relationship with his father ever since tragedy separated their family. He thought that nonone will understand what he was going through until he met Ally (Emilie de Ravin) through an unusual twist of fate.

He never thought he could fall inlove but her spirit heals and inspires him. and he find happiness and meaning in his life. But secrets were revealed that tear them apart.

The story for me is quite shallow and boring. I guess young people will like it and would be interested to watch it, simply because for their love to watch Robet Patisson.

Stepfather, Zombieland and The Final Destination Trailer

Stepfather, Zombieland and The Final Destination Trailer
O.K. so Final Destination kind of sucks but in it's total badness it still doesn't stop being amusing and now it's coming at you in 3-D ( which is why I really want to see it.)
The stepfather is a chilling thriller and a 70's film remake that sure to be a ride too enjoy!
Zombieland is another Shawn of the dead take on but it actually might be good, worth a trailer watch though.
