Captain America!

Just for those of you who don't know, Captain America comes out tonight!

Check your local theater for times and showings!

Happy Fourth of July!

Today is July Fourth and as I posted a ton of information about John Paul Jones last night from my research back in the day, I'm wondering if anyone else has any heroes that they want to talk about?

Well, Robert Stack, the amazing actor, was also the voice actor for Ultra Magnus who debuted in the old Transformers movie- the classic cartoon one.  To honor John Paul Jones and Robert Stack, I'm taking my brother out to see Bay's current take on Transformers; TF3: Dark of the Moon.

Wed 29 Jun '11 Character Transformations in the Dark of the Moon - Sponsored Geekout Meet the new 'bots. Not the same as the old 'bots. Every Transformers movie steps it up  from the prior installment and Dark of the Moon is no different, adding 3-D and amping up the action. It also super-charges the cast. Patrick Dempsey, John Malkovich and Frances McDormand are now on board, but the new robots have some lengthy pedigrees too. Prime Numbers - The mustachioed robot revealed in the first teaser? That'd be Optimus Prime's predecessor Sentinel Prime. Debuted in the '80s comics, he's now a fire truck voiced by Leonard Nimoy, who also played the evil Galvatron in the 1986 animated feature. Nimoy is married to director Michael Bay's cousin Susan and arranged permission to shoot scenes for the first film at Griffith Park Observatory. Shock and Awesome - The sinister Shockwave began as a Japanese toy named Astro Magnum, who changed into a kid-sized handgun. Super-sized onscreen, the character has traditionally had a coldly logical personality inspired by Star Trek's Spock, who was played by...yep, Leonard Nimoy again. Feathers Will Fly - The latest Decepticon henchman is a bird-shaped metal monster named Laserbeak. In the original cartoon and toy, this flying fiend concealed itself in the form of a most non-threatening cassette tape. The digital age works wonders, as the upgraded bad bird is now an avian assassin with multiple, more-modern modes. Transformers: Dark of the Moon morphs minds in theaters everywhere starting today.

Re: Smurf You! Hank Azaria's Gargamel Works Blue

Taking voice talent from The Simpsons for The Smurfs movie? This could be a plus for this movie. Now after finally seeing the CGI Alvin and the Chipmunks finally and Over The Hedge, I guess I can finally stop hating on the CGI adaptations of my favorite childhood movies. Thoughts anyone?

Wed 29 Jun '11 Hank Azaria's Smurftastic Villain The Simpsons' voice-meister gets gleefully giddy as Gargamel. Why did Gargamel want to catch the Smurfs anyway? In the cartoon, it was usually about making them ingredients in potions. Ingredients. Hmmm. They're little. They're blue. We bet they taste like blueberries. Mmmmmm. Smurfberry pie with real minced Smurf on top. Maybe we want to catch some too... Old-school Smurfs fans are divided on the idea of a 3-D live-action movie. We say: why worry? If you're concerned about realism in this case, you should probably take a hearty bite out of a mushroom house, sit back, and enjoy the show. One thing most agree on so far is that Hank Azaria seems to have captured the essence of the evil and inept wizard Gargamel. Sporting hideous prosthetics, the actor known for animation voices (The Simpsons) is now making his next cartoon character out of flesh and bone. GCD caught up to Azaria at Sony Animation Studios, where he discussed his unique take on the villain and his cat collaborator Azrael: "My idea was that they were [like] a married couple. Instead of making evil pronouncements to nothing, which really annoyed me about the old Gargamel, I wanted him to be more personally involved with the cat and for the cat to be considerably smarter." Azaria was determined to do a different take on his 2-D predecessor, adding an accent and more schtick. The more he practiced, though, he realized he connected with the original balding baddie. After all, he says, "You can't be Gargamel and not get very upset about Smurfs." Gargamel plays the blues in The Smurfs on-screen starting July 29th. FOLLOW US
