sorry for confusion. "Clone Wars" is more like "part 2.5" making the 6 parts now 7. PLUS it intro's animation for TV series

I'm not a killer fanboy, but i loved the original trilogy, and i dont expect too much from clone wars, like the cg style though

@CalamityJen
What I am confused about is that there already IS a Star Wars movie about the clone wars. So is the new animated one a remake?
CalamityJen
:
@FilmBuzz
It just reminds me of the Lego Star Wars video games. Plus, most characters look spot on except Anakin. WTH?
FilmBuzz
:
@CalamityJen
the animated movie *is* tied into a new Star Wars animated series being launched on Cartoon Network.

@CalamityJen
"lego-ish" is an interesting description of "Clone Wars". Though it's not tied into the successful lego star wars games...
FilmBuzz

Any Star Wars fanatics here? If so, what's your expectation of the new animated Clone Wars movie?

You could describe "Wicked Lake" as a bloody awful horror-thriller about lesbian cannibal witches, but it's worse than that... [Variety]

Very uncool: IMAX Corp opening four "IMAX theaters" in Australia. With regular size screens. Seriously diluting the brand...

Remember the "Machete" mock trailer in "Grindhouse"? Turns out Rodriquez "definitely has something in the works".

Speaking of remakes, MGM also has remakes of Red Dawn, Fame, Poltergeist and Death Wish in the works. Do we look thrilled yet?

Darren Aronofsky (The Fountain) working on remake of RoboCop. Orig directed by Verhoeven, new budget? "as much as $100 mil". Cool!

Thompson on Hollywood, about Tropic Thunder: "It's a rather reflexive and sophisticated treatise on filmmaking in Hollywood today..." Huh?

Watching a bit of "Gambit" (1966) with Michael Caine and Shirley MacLaine and it's awesome. I love this self-conscious spy action genre!

FilmBuzz
:
"Captains Courageous" was originally written by a fave author of mine: Rudyard Kipling, who also wrote "Kim" (another fave) and Jungle Book

Now channel surfed to crappy remake of "Captains Courageous" starring hasbeen Robert Urich. Sheesh, a truly terrible remake.

the original movie was one of my favorites as a kid "If I could talk to the animals, just imagine it..."

Watching "Dr. Doolittle 3" on the Disney Channel. Amazing how far they've strayed from the deilghtful original w/ Rex Harrison....

Expect to hear more about this: Michael Moore is starting to promote his documentary "The Youngest Candidate". Any guesses on the topic?

And this is just too weird: Billy Friedkin signed up to direct an *opera* based on Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. WTH?

Oh, man. There is tons of potential for Gears of War. Lets hope they don't screw it up like Final Fantasy.
