In Hollywood circles, there’s been some constant actor director tag teams in the past, Johnny Depp,/Tim Burton, Nic Cage/Jerry Bruckheimer, DeNiro(and DiCaprio)/Scorsese to name a few. But if there’s one team that continues to impress, it’s the one, two punch of Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe. Well those two were at it again, this time to tell the story of Robin Hood. Despite years of saturation from the famous man in green tights, this was a different tale all together that is not the tale you think you’ve seen. But where shall I start? Maybe I’ll take a cue from the movie and start…at the beginning. Now as per a recent trend in Hollywood, prequels…

G-S-T Quick 5 – Movies I've Warmed Up To…
OK, here I am, humbly walking on the ground where I, like broken glass, laid out all the bad things I said about these movies. In the past I might have either not been in the right mindset for these films or maybe not been able to comprehend what they were trying to do. While not all of these are masterpieces (some fans would argue that one of them is) the films on this list now get my approval. I now feel much more of a connection with these films and honestly enjoy quite a bit whereas before I would say flat-out “I hated it”. Ah, the folly of youth… ——————————————————————————————————————————————— Boiler…

Sweet Trailer…’Robin Hood’
Well the day has come dear friends…the final trailer for Sir Ridley Scott’s upcoming Robin Hood. The trailer just before Christmas was good, the Super Bowl spots (although short) were better but now we have the best trailer yet…well, one would hope because it is the last before it hits theaters on May 14, 2010. Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott team up again for what can only be described as “pure awesomeness”. In this version of the classic and legendary tale, Robin’s life is depicted from his early days in King Richard’s army. It further tells continues his story as he returns to Nottingham and creates the band of mercenaries who…

Ohhh, look 'Robin Hood' trailer and photos galore…
Sometimes there are no words for something so cool. Well this is one of those times!! After waiting and anticipating the Ridley Scott/Russell Crowe Robin Hood film, here is a great bunch of images to wet out appetites. So again, no words, just behold!! And for the icing on the cake, the teaser trailer…let’s hope Youtube doesn’t yank this due to some kind of copyright violation… You know, I didn’t expect anything from this production before the new year so I think I just got an early Christmas present:) I think it’s pretty damn great for the first thing we’ve seen since the “first look” some months ago, and I bet…

Is Ridley Scott's ALIEN prequel necessary??
Last week it was confirmed that Sir Ridley Scott would be directing the upcoming ALIEN “prequel”. News of the prequel (before Ridley’s attachment) hit the web a month ago and it seems people are split. Most posts I’ve read think that the ALIEN (and Predator) franchise needs a new direction but no one really knows where they want it to go. In similar news, Robert Rodriguez is working/developing a (worthy) Predator sequel, so it shows you that these famous creatures are in the public’s minds and hearts but after recent sub-par films, the studios should think twice about adding more weight to the already sinking ships. I think it’s too…
