Deep Water (Movie Watch)

This is the stunning true story of the first solo, non-stop, round-the-world boat race, and the psychological toll it took on its competitors. Sponsored by the Sunday Times of London, the much-ballyhooed event attracted a field of nine, including amateur sailor Donald Crowhurst, who set out to circumnavigate the globe in late 1968. Battling treacherous seas & his own demons, Crowhurst almost immediately comes apart as he faces the isolation of nine months on the high seas. Part adventure yarn/part metaphysical mystery, "Deep Water" is an unforgettable journey into one man's heart of darkness.

Hitman (Poster Release)

The first poster was a very understated reminder of the movie's intellectual property, but now we get a brand new one that gets into what we cn look forward to. Although I fear it might fall into 16yr action, ala Tripple X. Woe is us, if proven true.

The movie revolves around Agent 47, who has been educated to become a professional assassin for hire, but the hunter becomes the hunted when 47 gets caught up in a political takeover. Both Interpol & the Russian military chase the Hitman across Eastern Europe as he tries to find out who set him up & why they're trying to take him out of the game.

The Incredible Hulk (Photo Release)

During the panel for "The Incredible Hulk" at Comic-Con, Edward Norton revealed that he loves the comic books so much that he actually wrote the script for the movie, despite everyone believeing it was the writer of "Fantastic Four"!? Now that shocking news turned out to be a good one in my opinion it turns out we got another shocker, The Hulk himself. The first image of the Hulk has been revealed, showing what direction the filmmakers are going for.

The image is of a very sad character, with very human features. He's obviously not as green as the hulk in the 2003 Ang Lee version. Plus during the same panel, Norton actually mentioned that the goal is to have him be as real as possible. In this re-do, Bruce Banner lives in the shadows, scouring the planet for an antidote. Upon returning to civilization, Banner is ruthlessly pursued by The Abomination -- a nightmarish beast of pure adrenaline & aggression whose powers match The Hulk's own.

Southland Tales (Graded)

Director Richard (Donnie Darko) Kelly was at the San Diego Comic-Con yesterday promoting his latest sci-fi film "Southland Tales." Many people are pretty excited to finally see the film, since this is the man that gave us "Donnie Darko." But also because "Southland Tales" has gone through many delays, negative reviews from the Cannes Film Festival showing, and re-shoots after Sony put in extra funding for some much needed special effects.
Kelly stated at the Comic-Con that, "[We made] a lot of editorial changes in terms of restructuring the order of scenes, We re-recorded all of Justin Timberlake's voice-over & we added, like, 90 new visual-effects shots. It was truly like a work of progress." He also added that the movie has been cut by 20-25 minutes from its initial cut, which was nearly three hours long.
