The Dark Knight Disaster?

I am growing more and more frightened about the upcoming Bat-sequel The Dark Knight.  I trust Christopher Nolan not to totally screw-up the franchise, but I’m really starting to get worried.  First there was the announced casting of Heath Ledger as the Joker, but I took a deep breath and hoped for the best.  Then a pic appeared showing Ledger’s Joker and my spirits plummeted.  Next came the new armored version of the bat-suit (he’s not Iron Man dammit!), and then came this new image of the new rocket bike (OH COME ON!).  I don’t know about you but this is looking worse and worse every day.  Take a look at the full size images for each in the Full Diagnosis and let us know what you think.

Is this the Joker or Killer Klowns from Outer Space?

Was this left over from Judge Dredd?

It looks like someone spray-painted an old Tron costume!

DOA: Dead or Alive

  • Title: DOA: Dead or Alive
  • IMDb: link

This movie’s got disaster written all over it.  The acting is average, the plot is ridiculous, and the dialogue will have you laughing and groaning.  But it does have beautiful, and scantily clad, young actresses, some nice sets and attractive scenery, and some pretty good stunts and wire work.  Fans of B-movies, and adolescent teens, might find a film that that can laugh-at and enjoy yourself while doing so.  Is it a good film?  Not really.  Is it a good time?  For the right audience, yes it is.

We’ve seen martial arts tournament flicks many times before.  Hell, Jean-Claude Van Damme made a career off them.  DOA isn’t a great film, in fact in many ways it’s quiet laughable and absurd, but it is an enjoyable experience that knows exactly what it and doesn’t try to be anything more.

Movie News

Well it seems yet another video game is on its way to the big screen.  No, sorry, it’s not Excitebike.  Legendary Pictures has optioned the rights to make Diablo into a major motion picture.  Yipee.  No word yet on what the lead character’s class will be (Necromancer please!).  With Legendary Pictures already working on on a World of Warcraft film it seems like the studio is trying to carve out a niche for itself as the new home to continue the legacy of “greatness” in past video game adaptations.  Remember Super Mario Bros., Double Dragon, or Doom (I wish I didn’t!).  That’s all for now; as always, you’ll know more when we do!
