i really need a better naming conventions for these posts. we get three noteworthy movie news this morning. firstly, aicn posted their first review for shrek 2 today. i think it was today…i tend to miss these things. we’ll assume its today. anyhoo, the movie will rock, and the reviewer agrees. more inside gags, more characters, a bitchy godmother mob-boss, and a latin-lover puss-n-boots…bwahaha. the reviewer even says that it might be better than the first shrek, so thats a high mark to meet. the movie comes out may 21st.
AVP
secondly, theres a third alien v. predator featurette posted on the website. this featurette takes a look at the cast and characters of the upcoming movie. and while im not as effusive about the cast as andersen apparently is in the featurette…many of whom are relative unknowns, the shots and scenes were pretty interesting. its reassuring at least to know that lance henriksen is on board, tho i hope hes not the only watchable character in the movie. for now tho, id say the movie has a 60/40 chance of not sucking.
STAR WARS
lastly…and this was going to be posted earlier, but i kept forgetting to…a third making eps3 documentary is up on starwars.com now. this one, titled “we still do a little bit” looks into some of the effects that are still done the old-fashioned way…with miniatures, props, and built sets. these must be archaic methods indeed in lucas’ mind if he needs a featurette just to convince us that he actually still uses real actors and sets. anyhoo, its kind of fun to watch, with alot of shots on-set of the production going thru the motions.
