Yet Another Pointless Videogame Movie Announced: The SIMS

I think everyone in our huge audience knows about "The SIMS". The acclaimed life simulation game, where you control a bunch of characters going on about their daily life, work, social gatherings, love relationships, and so on... The game has sold millions and has had loads of expansions and added content... It is a hugely popular franchise so... I guess it automatically qualifies as an obvious target for the hungry Hollywood industry. Even so, I wouldn't imagine someone would actually try to make a movie conversion out of this... Don't get me wrong, I really like to explore the "Big Brother" side of my sick mind, but, after the great movie "Truman Show" I don't see much space left for something like this to happen:

«20th Century Fox has acquired feature rights to the life simulation computer game "The SIMS" from Electronic Arts, and has set project up with Fox-based John Davis.» in Variety.com

What i WOULD like to see, is 'machinima' spoofs made from already existing films, done with The Sims engine... like these two cowboys from that gay looking mountain in the back.

Bottom line, it is only fair that the movie industry comes up with pointless videogame ports... the Videogame industry has been doing pointless movie ports for decades.

What is your take on this?

Rambo IV - Why the Geriatric Comeback?

I'm ok with old actors working as long as they don't do sex scenes and stuff where they have to show their wrinkly bare assets. I also must comply that many actors and actresses have found a new boost of vitality and creativity and hence have managed to reach success yet again, if not for the first time , in their autumn years, people like Judy Dench, Morgan Freeman and Ian McKellen... But I cant help to think Stallone has seen better days, and by better days I mean: #1 - being a runner up for Best Actor in the Oscars back in 1976. #2 - Cop Land.
So why take a character as likable as the slow thinking, fast striking, speech impediment enforcing John Rambo, now a retired killing machine, and make him go through hell all over again? Well, I don't have the answer to that unusually long question, but I do have the trailer of this Rambo IV for you guys to see; and if my eyes don't fool me I believe this is gonna be a Sunday of Grumpy Old Men's back problems and refusal to take their medicine with Rambo's sweaty men in jungle suits covered by a topping of Starship Troopers exploding bodies and excessive usage of fake blood with a cherry on top.
If this doesn't make sense to you, try to read this very slowly after watching the trailer.

Yippee Kai-Yay... you meanie!!

The whole controversy about the new Die Hard movie being rated PG-13 is quite the conundrum. I mean, seriously who wants to see a politically correct Bruce Willis?... I've seen one, in that Disney movie where nowadays Bruce Willis meets with his 1950's chubby quirky self, that movie sucked big time. Bruce himself said that he was pissed about the movie being cut up like that, that it takes away a bit of John McLane, and I agree cause now all he's got is guns. No more shall we laugh at his surgical one liners right before the bad guy bites it. We want to see a Bruce Willis who's always cracking sexual jokes, poking fun at racial minorities and doing all that with the silly stupid grin we're all so used to see. I mean he doesn't even have Samuel L. Jackson by his side, and we all know that between the two of them Mr. Potty Mouth is Vince Vega's buddy, right?

Please, gentlemen of the MPAA, I urge you to reconsider your decision. Or at least redo the movie with Haley Joel Osment as John's 'overgrown kid trapped in an adult body' sidekick... please.

Spider Man 3 - The Bad guys!

Peter Parker, man! What can I say? Of course, by now everyone on the planet has seen the movie, but they still don't know what I have to say about it, right? So here goes!
For this last chapter on the Spidey trilogy, we come face to face with a Peter that's more confortable in his skin. He knows he's loved by those he cares about, so I guess the movie could very well end there. With a happy ever after ending and so on. But no! There HAS to be something, the proverbial wrench in the crank. And that wrench comes in several masculine forms.
First, we welcome back Green Goblin Jr., played quite nicely by James Franco, the bad boy from Freaks and Geeks, who's on a quest to avenge his crazy ass father who's famous for dying majestically in Platoon. His super powers are: throwing bombs and flying around shaking his fist in fury. I'll give him a 7.
Second, a new opponent arises. He is big, looks dumb and is made out of sand! OMG! Haden Church delivers a poor sap of a Sandman, we dont know wether to feel sorry for him and his sick/crippled kid or just to make fun of his taste in fashion, super powers are as follow: big hands, big smash, big sleepy time. I'll give him a 4.
Then comes three. Venom aka Topher Grace, who is not called Venom but Eddie Brock. This guy is, at first, very cool and funny and you get attached to him, like with Jim in American Pie, but then he gets violated by that black tar looking stuff and gets real scary real fast, like Jim in American Pie 2. Super powers are: big teeth filled mouth and sarcasm of death. I'll give him a 9 ('cause of his messed up mouth...brrr)
Oh! By the way, Kirsten Dunst still has a crooked tooth and for that I'll give her a 1.
