I'm mildly interested in this upcoming film. I love Mignola's Hellboy comics. I didn't like the first film. And I really loved Del Toro's "Pan's Labyrinth".I'm positive that part of my dislike for the first Hellboy movie was my strong affection for Mignola's comic. Having read Hellboy for years...I always imagined a Hellboy movie being patterned after Samurai films...where you have beautiful serene scenes of silence interrupted with brutally savage monster fights.The first film was anything but that.I really need to try and watch the first film without that comic geek prejudice...Anyways, this new trailer looks a bit like Hellboy 1 with some Pan's Labyrinth monsters and a touch of Blade 2. The new monsters look very slick...but the film's general look reminds me a lot of the first film.Either way, I'm sure to check it out when it's released next year. Good or bad, I'm certain that Del Toro and his team will build the film with love and sincerity.

UPDATE: "Ask and ye shall receive!" ToysREvil is on top of things (once again) and revealed a few screenshots from the USAToday article. The approach is a bit more literal than I was hoping for...but the concept of "Car Fu" action sequences has me curious. I just hope that that the final product doesn't look like actors in a videogame. The trailer will be showcased soon...Speed Racer and the Matrix's Wachowski Bros. It could be a work of visual brilliance or a complete failure. Fortunately, the bits and pieces that have been revealed are looking mighty pretty.I love the car designs and Racer X looks amazing. I'm just curious to see how they go about building the universe and tone that surrounds these characters.Much props and thanks to ToysREvil for the latest on the Speed Racer film. ToysREvil has been kicking ass on it's coverage of designer toys and pop culture these days!Racer X

I just saw this on DVD. Man, what a powerful film. I love how much is said about gender, faith/imagination, and abuse through fairy tale. It can be enjoyed on so many levels.It's easily Guillermo Del Toro's best film...and helps me understand a lot of what Del Toro was trying to do with his previous work. But, damn...this film makes me feel awful for being a man!

My expectations aren't very high for the Watchmen live action film. I wasn't the hugest fan of 300 (but then again, I didn't really love the Graphic Novel either)...and feel that if there's one Comic that's nearly impossible to translate to celluloid it's Watchmen.But I love to be proven wrong. And these set pics look very nice!

I just saw Julie Taymor's "Across The Universe". I loved it.Julie Taymor is the visual genius who directed the "Lion King" broadway show, "Titus", and "Frida". "Across The Universe" received a bit of attention for it's use of Beatles tunes.A bunch of people I know who were initially interested in the film ended up not seeing it because of the sub-par critical response. Big mistake. They're all missing out on one of the best cinematic experiences to hit theatres in a long time.The backbone of the plot is a love story so the unromantic may get bored (sorry Jerry, this one ain't for you!)...but what is built around it is filled with beauty, ambition, and heart.

I just got this film from Netflix. I cannot wait to experience the madness of Alejandro Jodorowsky!The way Jodorowsky plays with iconography and pushes the limits of every medium he works with baffle me. As you can see from the trailer, Jodorowsky does no less when tackling the sensitive topic of religion.
