I always wanted to drive a car off an airplane. My adrenaline would go so high and I’d feel so fantastic.  It wouldn’t take much strength because I’d drive the car so fast, so as not worry if I’d careen all over the snow.  Wow!

Actually, this film clip from 2012 is pretty darn wacko and cool.  It looks so real with all those cars flipping off the airplane and airbags puffing up.  Go Cusack and friends!

The poster is okay.  I’ve seen enough posters of this movie to get the idea that the world is going to end come 2012.  Mayans are right and we should do something about it.  In the meantime, I am going to the movies!  2012 opens in November 2009.

Three detailed and glorious banners came out this week for Roland Emmerich’s end of the world, blockbuster movie. The banners show key landmarks of the world being destroyed by Mother Nature.

We have the Rio de Janeiro’s Christ the Redeemer statue, a very familiar icon, which is being shown here and at Empire online you can see the other two — USS John F. Kennedy about to wipe out the White House in Washington D.C. and Los Angeles on the verge of a total and complete wash out as the San Andreas Fault rips a gigantic seam down the whole freaking disaster. The movie stars John Cusack and opens Friday, November 13, 2009.  I hope you feel lucky that day.

At times I really wonder what the studios are thinking when I hear of a logline such as three men in a hot tub (a bubbly time machine) get transported to 1987. 

It must be a male fantasy thing. That’s what it looks like with John Cusack and Rob Corddry set to soak up the bubbles in the MGM comedy.  Craig Robinson and Clark Duke are in negotiates to star as well.  The movie will be directed by Steve Pink.

Josh Heald wrote the script that follows a group of guys who have grown frustrated with their adult lives. They return to the ski lodge where they partied as teens to find answers and are transported to 1987 via their hot tub, a bubbly time machine, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Pink will rewrite the script with casting in mind.

Cusack, Corddry and Robinson are the three best friends, while Duke is Cusack’s younger brother.

Cusack is also producing with partner Grace Loh via their New Crime banner.

Filming might be in Vancouver with an April 20 start date.

This movie must have the voice of thousands. I mean look at the list of known actors lending their voice to Igor: John Cusack, Jay Leno, John Cleese, James Lipton, Christian Slater, Arsenio Hall, Jennifer Coolidge, Sean Hayes, Izzy Lizard and Molly Shannon to name most.  The trailer let’s us know about Igor and his problem he is trying to solve with the help of is looney friends. Igor opens September 19th.

Amanda Peet won the female lead role in much anticipated and talked about Roland Emmerich’s epic disaster project “2012.”

Peet is joining a very impressive ensemble cast led by John Cusack that includes Chiwetel Ejiofor, Thandie Newton, Danny Glover and Oliver Platt.

“2012″ pivots on a global cataclysm and the more than heroic effort of the survivors. Peet is playing Cusack’s ex-wife, recently married to a affluent man. Cusack plays a divorced father attempting to become a writer while working as a limo driver.

If the actor’s strike doesn’t materialize, the epic movie starts shooting in July. The release date for “2012″ is July 10, 2009.

Three more actors may join John Cusack and Chiwetel Ejiofor in Roland Emmerich’s epic disaster project “2012.” Danny Glover, Thandie Newton and Oliver Platt are seeing if they want to make a date with Glover as president, Newton as his daughter and Platt as the Chief of Staff.

“2012″ was shopped around with a $200 million budget, but Columbia said it will be made for less than that.

The studio is planning a July 10, 2009, release, with filming set to begin in July — unless there is an actors’ strike.

I just watched “Grace is Gone” last night because it was sent to me from the promotional affiliate to view and offer as a giveaway. 

The movie is powerful and real as I watched John Cusack transform from a quiet, disconnected man to a warm caring, loving father. The movie soundtrack is by Clint Eastwood with his simple jazz piano brings the emotions of the film to full force.

“Grace” is a Sundance Audience winner and a winner of Best Screenplay.

Although the film doesn’t promote a stance on the Iraq war, you definitely feel the undertones. 

So, I have an extra DVD of the movie for a giveaway.  For this Memorial Day Weekend in the USA,  I am offering it if you post your name I will pick the winner on Tuesday, May 27th. Good luck.

“Grace is Gone“

I really want to see GRACE IS GONE; hopefully I will be able to do a giveaway. 

This story may require lots of Kleenex but worth the pleasure of viewing. It hits the shelves May 27^th.

Offering an outstanding performance, Golden Globe nominee John Cusack (1408, High Fidelity) plays Stanley, a family man whose wife dies in the Iraq war.  Uncertain about how to break the devastating news to his girls, he takes them on a spontaneous road trip in the hopes of buying him time to find the best way to tell them the truth.

Garnering two Golden Globe^Ã’ nominations, including Best Original Score and Best Original Song, composed by Clint Eastwood (Million Dollar Baby), GRACE IS GONE also received both the Audience and Best Screenplay Award at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival, and was a final nominee for the Grand Jury Prize.
