Point the first: Touchstone, the “adult” subsidiary of Disney, is.
Point the second: Rather than being the miserable Carribean themed B-horror movie it sounds like, it’s actually Mel Gibson’s huge action-adventure movie about the fall of the Mayan civilization.
And who else would I trust interpretting Mayan civilization?
Lead on, Mel. Lead on.
I just can’t get past the idea that a stinker like “Underworld” could have a sequel.
Yes, yes it does. And the sexy vampire is our favorite Terminator! Now if they could only a different director.
It did. But they replaced the sexy vampire with a demon and called it Hellboy.
I agree with your post though. Bloodrayne had the potential to be a great movie. Unfortunately, Uwe Boll looks at these things and says “Hmm, it’s a workable premise. How can I change it to make it worse, and also alienate the fans of the source material?” Then he goes from there.
Sounds like it has potential – bu that title! UGH! What was Mel thinking? (I figured it must be the Spanish for “apocalypse” – which would still be inapt, as the Mayan civilization fell long before Columbus arrived, so why include any Spanish associations? – but I can’t find it in any online Spanish dictionary.)
According to Wikipedia, the title meaning “unveiling” or “new beginning” in Greek. I had assumed it was some Mayan word pronounced “Apo-calypto” (akin to Acapulco, which is Aztec, admittedly), but that seems to be giving Gibson too much credit.
Also according to Wikipedia, all dialogue will be in Yucatec.
World Trade Center has the potential to be a major clusterfuck, if it’s not handled properly.
When I first saw the title, I prayed that Young Hannibal was going to be about a boy’s wacky hijinks with elephants in the Alps, but no dice. “Screenwriter: Thomas Harris”. More bastardization of Silence of the Lambs. The worst part is that I’ll probably be there opening night anyway.
Since neither Vin Deisel nor Paul Walker are in 3 Fast 3 Furious, I would not be surprised if the only place you need fear this film is in the video store.
*Poseiden * - Just in case you never saw the original or the made for TV remake with Steve Gutenberg.
The New World - Me Pochahantas love-em John Smith…not
Basic Instinct 2 - Why bother?
Silent Hill, Bloodrayne - Obviously Hollywood has learned nothing from Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, or House of the Dead - Video game movies suck
V for Vendetta - Big Brother won’t be watching this one
Underworld: Evolution - I probably won’t know what’s going on since I always fell asleep mid way through the first one.
I’d go on but it’s just getting depressing.
I was sure that was a whoosh until I checked it. Has Mel had a psychiatric evaluation? Ever?
Is this the year of uninspired sequels or something?
Well, I’ll go see it. I may not understand a word, but why the heck not? At east it’s moderately original. 
And they wonder why revenues are down. :rolleyes:
Ebola on an Ultralight! Ricketts on a Rickshaw! Ferrets in a Ferrari!* Cheetas in a Chariot! Hoes on Horseback!** Lions on a Locomotive!
*That’s actually really scary. I was once mauled by a ferret while nude. Bad news, that.
**Not actually a horror movie.
Revenues down? Not according to this guy.
It’s a good read, if you’re interested.
How . . .
Never mind. We’re better off not knowing.
Some of these sound so bad I think I really need to see them.
I found Kate Beckinsale VERY watchable in that tight outfit. Very, very watchable.
Kate Beckinsale. 'Nuff said.
I heard a rumor* that there are going to be movie versions of My Mother the Car, Captain Kangaroo, The Flying Nun, and Little Miss Muffet (from Disney/Pixar), as well as a live-action version of Felix the Cat, all due to hit the screens at your local Googolplex in 2006.
I guess we’ll see what sticks.
*I just made this rumor up for this post, but I read it out loud to myself before posting, so technically, it’s true that I heard the rumor.
