The Good, The Bad and the Ugly Films

GOOD: I’d go to New York for this

The Spider-Man Musical may actually live again. Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark, will be starting rehearsals soon… after years and years of nail biting suspense amongst purveyors of Superhero Musicals. All silliness aside, the main musical number may actually be the one song by Bono I actually like to listen too (although it sounds more like The Edge). Sadly, Alan Cumming has decided to quit the gig as “Green Goblin” – Must be due to all the other fine work he’s been caught up in as of late.

I love the whole “Turn Off the Dark” subtitle. Maybe I should quit my day job and work on Broadway designing witty subtitles to the onslaught of Superhero Musicals that will be on the way after Spider-Man does gangbusters. I can see it now. “Hulk: Green Dreams and Smooth Jazz”, “Iron Man: Electronica Symphonica”… f*ck I suck at this! Regardless, I want to see this BAD. I was unfortunately too young to get a chance to see “Carrie: The Musical”, so I gotta go this time.

BAD: Sam’s Pact with Devil (Part 5)

Who could dare take the greatest acting role of all time from the greatest actor of all time? Are you thinking Olivier and ‘Hamlet’? Brando and ‘Steetcar’? Of course not! You’re thinking Richard Chamberlain as Alan Quatermain… Everyone’s B-List Indiana Jones is getting a modern day revival. And modern day revival only means one thing: Big Explosions and Outer Space! Oh, and of course Sam Worthington. Sam will bring the new exploits of ‘Quatermain‘ in a new adventure of daring-do. With Sam on board, at least there’ll be some do-do acting.

UGLY: This Week in Poo

Actually it’s “This Week in Pooh”, but strangely enough, the picture on the right with Sharon Stone and Dick Chambermaid cut the ‘H’ from the title and turned it to “Poo”. Yes, I’m that crazy. Speaking of poo, ‘Winnie the Pooh’ is going for attempt number 3, 284 on the big screen on July 15, 2011. I shudder to thing how Disney will mess it up in the next year. 3-D Honey Pots or Tigger played by Sam Worthington come to mind. Why does Disney keep trying with the ‘Pooh’ stories? They don’t translate well on the big screen. Perhaps it’s the confines of PooH Forest or whatever the hell the animal friends live. They need to get out of there. Like the animals in ‘Madagascar’. Now that’s funny stuff!
