3 Musketeers is really happening and I may eat my own words

Back in September, I was talking some smack about the new Paul W.S. Anderson adaptation of The Three Musketeers. I may eat my own words after the casting news reported yesterday!

Let me explain:
Ray Stevenson, Luke Evans, Mads Mikkelsen, Logan Lerman, Christoph Waltz

Lerman (Percy Jackson) as the young, witty D'Artagnan. Stevenson (Punisher: War Zone), Evans (Clash of the Titans) and Mikkelsen (Casino Royale) are also rumored. Waltz (Inglourious Basterds) as Cardinal Richelieu?! Are you kidding me?!

No, there's more... Milla Jovovich in the female lead!? Ummm... yes please! You can have my 15 bucks and I will gladly see this cast in the biggest piece of crap movie ever!

The movie is still in the "rumor" phase of casting, but the 3D part we talked about last year seems to be solid.

This movie is a completely different version than the one being developed by Warner Brothers. That version of the Musketeers is rumored to be directed by Doug Liman.

I better wait to see that cast before I cast judgment again and eat my own words... AGAIN. I'm gonna keep a close eye on this one and let you know as soon as anything comes up or is confirmed!

Guest Review: Albert D.: "Inglourious Basterds"

When I saw the trailer to this flick, I knew it was going to be good. I guess at first it was partly because it was staring one of my favorite actors, Brad Pitt, as well as the very funny B. J. Novak, who can be seen on a little show called "The Office." And Yes, I have to admit that the fact that Quentin Tarantino was directing was a plus... at first.

Thing is, and I’m 100% sure Matt is going to kick my ass for this, but the only thing that made this movie such a drag was Quentin Tarantino and his wannabe "original" directing style. He literally spent at least 15 minutes of the movie on close up shots of things like lips or eyes. No joke - I almost fell asleep 2 times from the constant close ups, and the ridiculously long dialogs you had to read. Yeah that’s right, did I mention that only about 10% of the movie is in English! Most of the movie is dialog, and I think there were only a few action scenes.

Brad Pitt plays Lt. Aldo Raine who is the leader of the Bastards, and is accompanied by Jewish American soldiers with only 1 objective, to put absolute fear into the heart of the German army. Later, they are given a mission to attempt take out the entire German Nazi leadership in a single mission. Adolf Hitler and his top advisers are meeting at a film premiere in Paris celebrating the exploits of a German sniper who had managed to kill 300 American soldiers. I've never heard of Christoph Waltz until today, but he is pure genius in this movie, holy crap. “The Jew Hunter” will literally make you want to pee your pants after seeing him brake down people for information.

I’m pretty sure most people are going to disagree with me about the directing, but I don’t really care. I agree that directing movies is a really hard thing to do. I give directors a great deal of respect, but to label them geniuses, or anything near that, is strictly a matter of opinion. I can’t stand people throwing around the word genius; as if anyone that has mastered their craft automatically gets labeled a genius. I think a director is supposed to tell a story so the viewer can see the movie through HIS own eyes, to entertain his audience, not bore them to death with the methods used by all of his predecessors.

The movie itself is an extremely entertaining story, other than the over-dramatic directing by Tarantino. I really enjoyed this movie. I’m totally sure if anyone else directed this movie, I would have enjoyed it way, way more.
