We told you about the new Wolverine film back in October, and with the recent announcement of several new cast members it seemed like a good time to revisit the subject.  Hugh Jackman will reprise the role for the prequel, and Liev Schreiber is indeed on board, but as Sabertooth (yeah, I didn’t know Sabertooth was Jewish either!), not William Stryker.  Marvel has announced the addition of Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, Will.i.am (of the Black Eyed Peas) as Johnny Wraith, Danny Huston as William Stryker, Lynn Collins as Kayla Silver Fox, Taylor Kitsch as Gambit, Dominic Monaghan as Beak, and Danniel Henney as Agent Zero. Check out the Full Diagnosis to see how the casting matches up to the characters.  You’ll know more when we do!

Soaring Through the New Frontier

/ / Home Video
  • Title: Justice League: The New Frontier
  • IMDb: link

“We need our heroes to stand up and show us what this country is supposed to mean.”

Although I’m a huge fan of the Justice League animated series I wasn’t too thrilled with their first big feature film Superman: Doomsday (read that review).  On hearing their next project would be an adaptation of Darwyn Cooke’s DC: The New Frontier, I was a tad skeptical about what the finished project might look like.  I shouldn’t have worried; this time they get it just right.

Set i the 1950’s, an age of distrust and the height of McCarthyism, the film opens with the end of the Korean War and test pilot Hal Jordan (David Boreanaz) ill-fated final mission.  It’s appropriate the film (not counting the pre-credit sequence) opens with Jordan, because he more than any other character is asked to carry the film.

Semi-Pro

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: Semi-Pro
  • IMDB: link

semi-pro-poster

I’m not a huge Will Ferrell fan.  I usually prefer my Ferrell in small SNL skits or films which aren’t built entirely around him acting as silly as possible (check out my review for Stranger Than Fiction).  There are exceptions to this rule however as I though Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy was a very strong comedy.  Semi-Pro, to me, isn’t as good a film, but for those who enjoyed Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby and/or Blades of Glory this one should be right up your alley (oh wait, that’s bowling).

The movie centers around the Flint, Michigan Tropics, a struggling ABA team and their owner/player/coach Jackie Moon (Will Ferrell).  Moon is hit with the news that the ABA is disbanding and only four teams will make the transition to the NBA.  Trading the team’s washing machine for a washed-up point guard (Woody Harrelson), Jackie tries to will his team into fourth place, and into the NBA, before the end of the season.
