Edshugeo The GodMoor

I'd been looking forward to this movie for a couple of years and now it seems to be ready to go. Apparently it will hit American screens in August. There had been some bad press about the amount of money spent on this movie, and especially the failure of the film-maker's last monster flick. I was more concerned with the decision to try to create a Hollywood film, set in the U.S., starring English speaking actors. Never-mind that Korean films (good or bad) really aren't as far from Hollywood as some fans might argue.

The newest trailers look promising. Not Oscar material, but good solid entertainment. I'm being optimistic, of course. The dvd will probably be worth having just for the random scenes of mayhem, if nothing else...

Sin City is at the top of my list for this years upcoming and unseen films. Based on a series of great Noir comics by Frank Miller, It stars Jessica Alba (above), Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke (who doesn't need the extra make up, but if they told him that, he'd probably walk), Rosario Dawson, Benicio Del Toro, Clive Owen and a number of others.



The film is directed by Miller and Robert Rodriguez and is meant to mimic the look and feel of Miller's work.



The trailer looks f**king great! You might be able to see it at apple.com or download it at "Dave's Trailer Page".

I imagine that Alba's performance here will redeem whatever bad karma may result from her involvement in another comic book film, The Fantastic Four.



Next up is "Kung Fu Hustle", the latest blockbuster by Stephen Chow Sing-Chi. Chow is a certified comic genius. I recommend his previous films like Forbidden City Cop (The first Chow film I saw, and still my favorite), Flirtong Scholar, Shaolin Soccer, King of Beggars, Royal Tramp 1 & 2, God Of Cookery, and King Of Comedy (not the one with Jerry Lewis and Deniro).

The trailer is available on the official site (www.kungfuhustle.com) and also on "Dave's Trailer Page".




Last and maybe least (who can tell?) is the Korean monster film, D-War, an epic that takes place both in modern day New York, and in Korea, hundreds of years ago. Lots of CGI. Perhaps not on the level of Lord Of The Rings, but it looks pretty cool.

Some footage and a trailer can be found "here".
