Green Lantern

It will hit the cinema on 17^th June. This is the latest directorial venture of Martin Campbell who is known for his hit ventures. Being the theatrical adaptation to a character in DC comic books this movie certainly is one of the most highlighted motion pictures. Fans have been keeping their eyes open for the movie and with its release date set somewhat far they will surely have their patience tested and their patience will surely be rewarded.

The main character will be a test pilot who comes across a ring which grants him super powers. At the beginning he has no idea that as the beholder of the ring has become one of the intergalactic team dedicated to maintain peace and secure in among universes. And as he begins to realize the capacity and potential of superpowers he has been bestowed he inadvertently becomes a superhero on earth as well and at the same time he also makes some formidable enemies.

Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard

The Fighter
In Contention Sports Illustrated names The Fighter "the best sports movie of the decade." I guess they're using that 2001-2010 definition. Hate that. I like to end with the 9s.

Remember when everyone was writing about that movie nonstop? It's happening again. Scanners does a comparison with Carlos, another richly layered movie winning critics prizes, and Nick at Nick's Flick Picks has shared ten intriguing thoughts in two parts.The Toronto Film Critics Association just gave it another "best of the year" citation.

Year in Review
Vulture "25 Best Performances That Won't Win Oscars" from Tom Hardy (Inception) to Alexander Siddig (Cairo Time). It's a great list overall but totally spoiled by two little girls, one of whom was genuinely great in another movie this year, so why not make it that one (Yes, Mia Wasikowska's The Kids Are All Right performance is > Alice In Wonderland times 1,000,000)

Finally... 

Remember way way back (ok, only two years ago) when I invited you to the wedding of "Boobs & Abs". They've split. Yes, The Green Lantern and The Black Widow are divorcing.  Speaking of Scarlett Johannson, Jon Favreau is leaving the Iron Man franchise. Given that ScarJo's performances feel more listless than ever these last few years, how about Sofia Coppola for Iron Man 3's directors chair. Maybe the fanboys wouldn't appreciate it but at least they'd get some great shots of Black Widow's ass. Plus that f/x related scene in Coppola's Somewhere, with Stephen Dorff interminably stuck in the makeup chair, is one of the best moments in that inside Hollywood movie.

Ryan Reynolds

Ryan Reynolds: One of Hollywood’s hottest stars, 34 year old Canadian Actor Ryan Reynolds has the honor of winning the year's title of People's Magazines's Sexiest Man Alive on Wednesday. Most girls agree and that includes me but according to Ryan Reynolds, his hot Hollywood body is not easy.

He expects his new title to change life at home with wifey Scarlett Johansson. "Now it’s going to be, Sexiest Man, take out the garbage". That does sound better, Reynolds said, "The most difficult part is going to be organically working this title into a conversation with random strangers".



Ryan Reynolds earned the lead role in the upcoming "Green Lantern" Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan and rapidly takes us from his career as an Air Force pilot, to how the ring found him, through his battle with fear and being a Green Lantern.


The Film Adaptation of Martin Campbell's Green Lantern also stars Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, and Tim Robbins. The first ever released scenes Green Lantern movie, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively share a fiery scene.
