I must be dreaming!!

Ender's Game, based on the Orson Scott Card's novel.

5cbdfc228088147.jpg

Winner of the the Nebula Award for best novel in 1985 and the Hugo Award for best novel in 1986,

part of the Ender Saga consisting of 12 novels, 12 short stories and 47 comic issues.

Sypnosis:

In the near future, a hostile alien race (called the Formics) have attacked Earth. If not for the legendary heroics of International Fleet Commander, Mazer Rackham (Ben Kingsley), all would have been lost. In preparation for the next attack, the highly esteemed Colonel Graff (Harrison Ford) and the International Military are training only the best young children to find the future Mazer. Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield), a shy, but strategically brilliant boy is pulled out of his school to join the elite.

Arriving at Battle School, Ender quickly and easily masters increasingly difficult war games, distiguising himself and winning respect amongst his peers. Ender is soon ordained by Graff as the military's next great hope, resulting in his promotion to Command School. Once there, he's trained by Mazer Rackham, himself, to lead his fellow soldiers into an epic battle that will determine the future of Earth and save the human race.

Ender's Game also stars Aramis Knight, Hailee Steinfeld, Jimmy Pinchak, Viola Davis and Abigail Breslin. The film is written and directed by Gavin Hood (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and opens in theaters Nov. 1, 2013.

This better not turn out to be another book to movie adaptation flop which there have been so many of lately: The Hunger Games, Percy Jackson & the Olympians, The Golden Compass His Dark Materials and The Twilight series.

I have 6 of the novels in my closet, i just might start reading them again.

Gravity (2013 - Bullock, Clooney... SERIOUSLY???)

Sandra and George as Space Shuttle Astronauts?
No wonder their Shuttle had an accident and they are stuck in space.
Those two ain't remotely qualified to even pilot a remote control model airplane much less a Space Shuttle!
Well, at least the director is qualified!
The full trailer is coming today.
Here's a 15 seconds preview.
from IMDB trivia:
Angelina Jolie was originally cast but dropped out later. Rachel Weisz, Naomi Watts, Natalie Portman, Marion Cotillard, Abbie Cornish, Carey Mulligan, Sienna Miller, Scarlett Johansson, Blake Lively, Rebecca Hall and Olivia Wilde were all subsequently tested or approached for the lead role. Finally, Sandra Bullock was cast.
I can see Marion and Rebecca and Rachel and Sienna and even Angelina as an astronaut, but not Sandra.
She is waaay too scrawny!
Natalie Would had been perfect!
Maybe they should had named this film
Speed 3 Out Of This World
:grin:

So the whole movie is 2 people spinning out of control in space?

Their suit (EMU) only carries up to 8.5 hrs of Oxygen and they put on their spacewalk suit long before they even leave the shuttle to allow their body to get used to the Pure Oxygen.

8.5 hrs, that is if they breath normally and their EMU suit and (battery) equipment is not damaged or ruptured.

How long is this movie?

It will definitely take more than 8.5 hrs to send another shuttle or spacecraft to rescue them.

With their space shuttle and the ISS destroyed or damaged and these two spinning further and further away from either one,

OH YEAH!

THEY ARE DEFINITELY EFFING DEAD!

THERE IS REALLY NO POINT IN PAYING UP TO $20 A TICKET TO SEE THIS MOVIE, IS THERE?

YOU ALREADY KNOW HOW IS IT GOING TO END!!

Gravity looks so stupid and boring, the trailer sucked. I don't know why everyone is making a big deal out of it.

Hence why I said they should had named this Speed 3 since Speed 2 sucked.

Ever since Bullock won an academy awards for that White Woman Adopt Poor Black Kid and Teach Him To Play Football movie, she's been getting kudos for just about anything she stars in.

Heck, she can star in an TV commercial and the critics will be over each other raving about her.

I never cared for her outside of Speed (the first one only) and Demolition Man.

^ I agree with everything you say about Bullock. She looks ridiculous in this role, she can't carry a movie like this. And I hate George Clooney too. He's a pretty good actor, but he's so smug and full of himself. I think this film will be a colossal disaster, but who knows, maybe some people will be gullible enough to go waste their money on it.

I used to like Clooney when he first begin making movies after leaving the TV world: From Dusk Til Dawn, The Peacemaker, Fail Safe, The Thin Red Line, Three Kings, Out Of Sight, the first Ocean's movie.

But then I slowly started to realize that he (among with a handful of other actors including Will Smith and Denzel Washington), no matter what role they are playing, whether the role requires them to be dramatic in a tear jerker or funny in a comedy or serious in a thriller, etc etc;

he has the same look each and every time (and because I've mentioned Will and Denzel, they do too IMO) and the same emotional demeanor.

Furthermore, the one freaking thing I can't stand about Clooney is can he stop moving and bobbing his head like one of those toy dolls when he speaks?

It's very annoying and it's very difficult for a person to pay attention to what he is saying when the focus is on his bobbing head.

Going back to my previous post (#406 above), they should had cast another actress.

Maybe not necessarily someone as high profile as Jolie or Johansson but anyone else in that IMDB list would still had been a better choice than Bullock.

^ Hahahaha, I've never noticed the head bobbing thing before. Probably because I avoid most of his movies :P I agree with you about Will and Denzel. They've all become such big movie stars that they can no longer blend into a role, at least to me. It's like they're always self conscious about their movie star status.

I think Jessica Chastain (although I don't particularly like her) would've been a better choice than Sandra Bullock.

Just saw Star Trek Into The Darkness.
I am not going to give anything away but I feel unfulfilled and ripped off compared to the first one.
Damn J.J. Abrams.
Now he is going to ruin Star Wars!
2/5
  • Author

lol J7 very hard to please you imo. I thought it was great and so did my friends that have seen it.

I felt it was very unoriginal especially the last part.

If you seen the Star Trek TOS movies and especially one of them, you will know what I mean.

Also, drop the the entire 'romance' thing between two of the main characters.

It's very unbecoming of Star Trek!

I just watched Olympus Has Fallen (2013)


http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2302755/

I actually liked this better than A Good Day To Die Hard.

They are both mindless B Action movies but this one is the better one out of the two.

I gave A Good Day To Die Hard 2/5 stars.

I will give Olympus Has Fallen

3/5

p.s. Isn't White House Down the same movie?

Essentially both White House Down and Olypus Has Fallen are generally the same movie. Both deal with Terrorists trying to kidnap the President in the White House.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2302755/


Disgraced former Presidential guard Mike Banning finds himself trapped inside the White House in the wake of a terrorist attack; using his inside knowledge, Banning works with national security to rescue the President from his kidnappers.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2334879/

While on a tour of the White House with his young daughter, a Capitol policeman springs into action to save his child and protect the president from a heavily armed group of paramilitary invaders.

I hate it when Hollywood does that.

Remember the year we had 2 Volcano disaster movies (Volcano and Dante's Peak) and then 2 Meteor/Asteroid disaster movies (Armageddon and Deep Impact) and so on?

Hollywood does that a lot. The studios are constantly copying each other. I remember when the two Snow White movies came out at the same time. It's so silly.

Or the 2 boy meet girl type romantic comedies:

one with Mila Kunis (Friends With Benefits), the other one with Natalie Portman (No Strings Attached).

They are going to REBOOT the Terminator franchise starting with the first 1984 movie and make a trilogy out of it.

I am going to BOYCOTT this film starting right now!

I will refuse to watch it at the movie theater and I will refuse to stock it in my stores for rent and for sale.

What is next on the REBOOT list?

Casablanca?

Gone With The Wind?

The Godfather?

The Tramp (Charlie Chaplin's classic)?

2001?

The Sound Of Music?

Lawrence Of Arabia?


SERIOUSLY?

When is Hollywood going to stop with this REBOOT/REMAKE FARCE and start coming up with Original Ideas?

When did Hollywood lost their ways and sold their soul to make a quick buck even if it means releasing a Crappy movie?
