News: Rock moves, 'Exorcist' hits the small screen

Dude is huge!

Rock gets jiggy... with March...

of next year

                Brace yourselves chickadees. The Rock is on the move.

                Paramount has decided to move Mr. The Rock’s latest work, “G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” out of its June 29 release date and push it all the way back until March 29, 2013.

                These sorts of moves are rarely a good sign (remember poor “Piranha 3DD”).

                Paramount is insisting this isn’t a quality-related move, but was done to allow director John Chu time to convert it into 3-D.

                Also, the People’s Champ (Rock, duh) has said additional scenes are being designed to add to the 3D experience of it all. I can only assume--- and hope--- those scenes involve The Rock’s biceps is some way, shape or form. Am I right ladies? You know what I’m talking about! Up top!

                Regardless of release date, I’ll be seeing “G.I. Joe 2” even though I never saw or cared about part one, for the same reason I saw “Fast Five” despite not seeing most of the “Fast and the Furious” sequels: The Rock makes everything better.

Getting Aja vibes from this guy...

‘Exorcist’ heads to TV

                If there was ever a film franchise known for its eternal, rock-solid quality and consistency, it was “The Exorcist.”

                Whoops! There I go again, confusing “Exorcist” and “The Godfather.” Silly me!

                No, “The Exorcist” franchise is a wildly inconsistent, borderline schizophrenic mess consisting of a classic (“The Exorcist”), an offensive steaming pile (“The Exorcist II: The Heretic”), two duds (“The Exorcist: The Beginning” and “Dominion”) and one pretty decent effort (“The Exorcist III: Legion”).

                And now you can go on ahead and add a TV show into the mix.

                Sean Durkin, writer-director of “Martha Marcy May Marlene” is working on a ten episode TV series based around the events of the first film. But don’t call it a remake!

                The series outline goes like this, according to Vulture:

“Durkin’s version of THE EXORCIST follows the events leading up to a demonic possession and especially the after-effects of how a family copes with it: In short, not well (really, after you start seeing stuff like this, can you blame them?), and when medical and psychiatric explanations fail, the desperate family turns to the church, with Father Damien Karras finally brought in to attempt the exorcism.”

Can I get a meh? I always ask myself in these situations: Do we need this? I mean, really need it? Don’t think so.  

I may not be at all interested in this project, but the horror genre’s history with TV is as unruly and unpredictable as “The Exorcist” franchise, so maybe this is a match made in… hell… after all.

Get it? Hell? Cuz it’s about demons. Slap those knees!

News: More from The Rock plus new Bond is good!

New trailer from The Rock!!! (feat. G.I. Joes)

Sweet merciful crap The Rock is everywhere! I’m not complaining, mind you. Simply stating a wonderful, bad ass fact.

Just last week you and I gabbed about how he might be teaming up with Michael Bay. But, that’s the distant future. This news concerns the slightly less distant future. Feast your eyes on the brand new trailer for the “G.I. Joe” sequel.

I must say, I’m at the point where I’d be willing to watch The Rock in anything just to keep him in action movies and out of Disney’s pocket. I can’t take another “Tooth Fairy.” I just can’t.

“G.I. Joe 2” might even be entertaining. At the very least it could be good for some cheesy fun. Of course, I never saw part one of this saga, so who knows?

 Problem: Where the heck was Cobra Commander? It concerns me that I didn't see him, although I did see someone pretty freakin’ awesome and very unexpected in the trailer. I guess it all balances out. Good times.

“G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation” hits theaters 6/29/12 and stars The Rock and his awe-inspiring biceps. There might be a few other folks in there too, can’t say for sure.

Bond himself says
‘Skyfall’ actually good

                It’s on the record boys and girls. Mr. Bond himself, Daniel Craig has promised his latest 007 adventure, “Skyfall” won’t suck. You know, like the last one--- “Quantum of Solace”--- did.

                Craig spoke candidly with Time Out about the difficulties of making “Quantum” during the depths of the writer strike.

Among the highlights? The fact that he and the film’s director Mark Foster ended up writing parts of the movie just to get it done. “And a writer I am not,” Craig mused.

Now, I know some people enjoy this kind of honesty when it comes to actors trashing their own works. Not me, though. I’m flat out sick of it. I paid my hard-earned money to see “Quantum” in theaters. I’m sure Craig did the late night rounds summoning average Joes like myself to take out their wallets. So unless this sudden outpouring of honesty is going to come with a full refund, shut up.

I trusted you then, why should I trust you now? Just leave your past movies in the past and move the hell on.

Either way, the best Bond movie made since "GoldenEye" was "Inception." You heard me.
