I am a huge fan of Hampton Sides’ book “Ghost Soldiers”, yet I had no idea that there was a movie adaptation of it debuting this week! That’s because they changed the name to… blech… The Great Raid. Ghost Soldiers is the true story of an Army Ranger expedition led by Col. Henry Mucci (I…

Oh, these translations are always fun. Watch Star War: Backstroke of the West Warning: a few of the translated words are swear words, although they weren’t swear words originally. I love Anakin’s threat: “Giving first aid the already disheveled hair projection.” Also, the “Jedi Council” is translated as “the Presbyterian Church.”

The Indy Experience now reports that Indiana Jones 4 is now a go picture. 63-year-old Harrison Ford will still portray Indy as he travels the world to pick up his Social Security check.

During his discussion of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Mark Steyn has a side comment about Christopher Lee. My favourite moment in the Lord of the Rings movies isn’t actually in any of the movies, but in one of those ‘the making of’ documentaries that appears on the DVD. It’s the scene where Saruman gets…

The Blue Tights Video Journal has some interesting footage of the Superman movie under construction. We are now exactly 365 days away from the premier.

Cattywoman, I mean. Lynda Carter says Catherine Zeta-Jones and Sandra Bullock are too old to play Wonder Woman. Joss Whedon says that Mischa Barton (of The O.C.) and Katie Holmes (of Batman Begins, though she’s described here only as “Tom Cruise’s fiancee”) are on Joss Whedon’s short list to play Wonder Woman for a 2007…

Stealth gets panned by Ebert in an early review. Sounds putrid. Wish I didn’t still want to see it.

The V for Vendetta trailer is up. Natalie Portman, back from stinking up the screen in the Star Wars prequels, stars as a young woman taken under the wing of a masked anarchist fighting a fascistic British government. It’s based on an early work by Alan Moore, though oddly enough his name isn’t even mentioned…

I say it again, the movie Stealth is probably fluff, but it sure does look good! If you’re still doubtful, you can check out the STEALTH COMIC-CON SIZZLE PIECE. But be warned, this is one of those trailers that pretty much gives away the whole movie except for the ending.
