First it was the delightful "Spirited Away", then "Howl's Moving Castle", now Miyazaki's newest "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea" doing great
FilmBuzz
:
X-Men: Wolverine rumored to be overwhelmed by infighting between director Gavin Hood and Fox Film chief Tom Rothman.
FilmBuzz
:
A shockingly violent scene in the book, I was surprised Rowling wrote it into the book, actually.
FilmBuzz
:
The one most troubling scene, in my opinion? When Malfoy stomps Harry's face and breaks his nose, leaving him in a pool of blood.

You might want to re-read it again in June since they pushed the release date back to July 2009
FilmBuzz
:
I really cannot see the film getting anything lower than a PG-13 and am unsurprised they are back in the edit room trying to avoid an R.
FilmBuzz
:
I've been re-reading Harry Potter
#6
in preparation for the movie and am curious how they'll film some of the very violent scenes.
FilmBuzz
:
@LeStew
of course Harry Potter 6 moving has caused this trickle effect with 007 and other films rescheduling. Atypically obvious for H'wood.
FilmBuzz
:
Interesting int'l film news: Brit cop thriller "The Sweeney" has stopped production over increasing concerns over its int'l prospects.
LeStew

@FilmBuzz
and that has NOTHING to do with Warners deciding to push HP6...nope nothing at all :)
FilmBuzz
:
Paramount Home Entertainment renamed Famous Productions. In queue, spinoffs of Road Trip, Naked Gun, Mean Girls, Grease and Bad News Bears.
FilmBuzz
:
MPAA ratings announced this week: Lots and lots of R ratings: Adventureland, Blood Money, Exit Speed, Dolphins, Infestation, Hounddog, etc.
FilmBuzz
:
Variety smacks Babylon AD: "Vin Diesel punches, shoots, but ultimately dozes his way through sloppy sci-fi actioner". I might see it anyway
FilmBuzz
:
honestly, I think they'll sell 100,000 just because of the name. What guy isn't going to want extra mojo for Christmas?
FilmBuzz
:
Yeah, Baby! Austin Powers trilogy to show up on Blu-Ray on Dec 2. Title of the set? "Shagadelic Edition, Loaded With Extra Mojo" :-)
FilmBuzz
:
Congrats to 20th Century Fox: "Nim's Island" remains on

You should see the movies I watch.I prefer real action to chick flicks (altho some of those aren't too bad).Same with books.
FilmBuzz
:
@DaVinciDeb
Didn't know you liked such violent movies. Looks very visceral, very aggressive. Me? Maybe Babylon AD. :-)

@FilmBuzz
I was thinking of going to Death Race on Sunday. I will let you know if we like it.

No question, it's a lukewarm review when you say "it's better than I thought it would be". But that's how I felt about Love Guru. :)

@KellyGingery
Yes, the NYT (I believe) had a wonderful review of "Man on Wire" and I too look forward to seeing it. Do share if it's good!
FilmBuzz
:
Four new movies coming out this weekend and none of 'em make my list: Death Race, House Bunny, Rocker and Longshots. Anyone excited?

@FilmBuzz
"Man On Wire" opens here in Columbus next Friday. I've already talked my hubby and 2 teens into it....I hope to sway more by then

@FilmBuzz
I'm REALLY looking 4ward to the documentary "Man On Wire" re: the Frenchman who walked a tightrope Btween the twin towers in 1974
KellyGingery

@FilmBuzz
I haven't seen it yet, or talked 2 anyone who has.I LOVE movies but I'm just not interested. Sometimes, silly is just 2 silly 4 me

All I've heard from ppl is "It was better than I thought it'd be"

@dietcokehead
lolled = laughed out loud, but past tense? :-) One thumbs up for Tropic Thunder. No-one else??
FilmBuzz
:
Haven't heard much buzz about Tropic Thunder here on Twitter. Anyone care to extend a micro-review for us?
FilmBuzz
:
"Extract", Miramax's ambulance chasing lawyer pic, directed by Mike Judge, gets potential star: Ben Affleck

@FilmBuzz
Hmm...thought Del Torro (sp?) was writing too? Not that I mind, he makes Kevin Smith seem fast, film would've been written in 2012
FilmBuzz
:
Writing team for The Hobbit finally announced: Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens. They co-wrote Lord of the Rings too.

Update from Guillermo del Toro: He had the opportunity to direct Watchmen but passed, focused on The Hobbit, which will feature heavy CGI.
FilmBuzz
:
"The Scouting Book for Boys" will mark Tom Harper's directorial debut, Thomas Turgoose will star. from Film 4.
FilmBuzz
:
Anime property "Avatar" gets a director. You ready for this? M. Night Shyamalan. I fear for the worst.

@FilmBuzz
Why remake "Poltergeist"? Seriously...the original is classic. C'mon Hollywood, just come up with some cool NEW stuff for us!
FilmBuzz
:
Juliet Snowden and Stiles White are doing treatment for rewrite of "Poltergeist" for MGM. Orig was directed by Tobe Hooper and Spielberg.
FilmBuzz
:
And how are they going to market this? Vin Diesel going to direct 20-minute prequel to The Fast and the Furious.
FilmBuzz
:
Watched some of Adam Sandler's "You Don't Mess with The Zohan" yesterday and actually thought it was pretty amusing. I might become a fan...
FilmBuzz
:
Watched a fascinating documentary this afternoon: "Indiana Jones and the Ultimate Quest". Highly recommended, great for sci-geek kids too.
FilmBuzz
:
@sugigrl
it's quite possible, he's a busy actor (Ice Cube), but where did you hear he's signed for "The A Team"?
FilmBuzz
:
Screenplay treatment work started for The Hobbit. To be filmed in two parts and released December 2011 and December 2012. Long time to wait
FilmBuzz
:
Yet Another Remake: "The A-Team". Tyrese announced, but is he cast as "B. A. Baracus", the role made famous by Mr. T? No comment yet.
FilmBuzz
:
Valkyrie not enough? Look for Spanish film "El Pallasso i el fuehrer" (The Clown and the Fuhrer) next: Beta Films bought int'l rights.
