The RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN Trailer Blows Stuff Up, Has Alien Bounty Hunters, A Few Good Gags, And A Rickety Old RV!!

Kim Richards rocked! by wolverines claw	Nov 18th, 2008 08:43:45 AM
Oh and first!!
I'll probably see this. by guido505	Nov 18th, 2008 08:44:55 AM
I remember enjoying the originals as a kid and this looks like it might be fun.
Ooh second by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Nov 18th, 2008 08:47:00 AM
And a movie with The Rock that I can take my kids to.
First!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by bandus	Nov 18th, 2008 08:47:51 AM
This actually looks pretty good. I showed the trailer to my son who is 6 and he loved it. Looks like a fresh new take on the movie that might actually turn out decent.
Scratch the First part...... by bandus	Nov 18th, 2008 08:48:40 AM
Have a good one.
Okay maybe not, but I stopped by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Nov 18th, 2008 08:49:31 AM
to enjoy the trailer. Seriously, it's nice to see The Rock grow and go from The Rock to Dwayne Johnson. Don't get me wrong, I don't want him to give up on the action movies, but it all started with Be Cool, then there was that Disney football movie, then Get Smart, now this. I'm glad we didn't see him lay the smack down on the evil aliens. That's old Rock. I like Dwayne.
Yet again, a trailer that shows off the whole movie... by 433	Nov 18th, 2008 08:52:41 AM
The scene with the truck hitting the kid reminded me of Cassidy vs. the Saint of Killers in PREACHER. Oh, well, if they never adapt that into a movie or series, I guess people can just rip off all the awesome parts piecemeal, right?
Carla Gugino in a tight shirt by Knobules	Nov 18th, 2008 08:53:50 AM
Great, now I have to see this. That woman is smokin. The rest looks like canned ham.
Looks like a great family movie by nexxus7	Nov 18th, 2008 08:55:44 AM
I remember seeing the original Escape to Witch Mountain as a kid. I'll haveta take the kids to see this one.
I must admit I am wondering why by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Nov 18th, 2008 08:56:36 AM
kids who have telekenisis, can phase through objects, can take the impact of a car head on, and talk to animals need the help of a cab driver. I'm sure they'll explain it, and I still want to see this. I'm just asking, that's all.
So Do First Posters... by nexxus7	Nov 18th, 2008 08:57:29 AM
Sit around and refresh their computers until something new is posted on AICN? Seems an awful waste of time just to write FIRST!!! on a talkback forum. Oh well, take the victories where you can I suppose.
wow... by Darth_Valinorean	Nov 18th, 2008 09:01:59 AM
this actually looks good, but I do feel like I have seen the entire movie.
nexxus7 by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Nov 18th, 2008 09:07:18 AM
Can't speak for others, but as I work second shift, and just got the kids off to school I like to sit around for an hour or so, wake up,enjoy my coffee, and check out this and other sites.
grammaton by lex romero	Nov 18th, 2008 09:08:29 AM
i thought the same thing. The kids have all these fantastic super powers and they need help?! Think I'd rather see a film about adult aliens that had those powers and just follow them kicking ass. can someone give dwayne johnson a good film please? And not a disney one? The guy is brilliant, obviously physically he can pull off the action hero role, but he's also got excellent comic timing. Can someone give him an real film role that mixes these two? Where's a shane black script when you need it.
Used to love the original . . . by Nice Marmot	Nov 18th, 2008 09:14:29 AM
. . . this looks kind of on the right track. But I remember the fact they were aliens was the big surprise reveal at the end. Oh well . . .
Yep, as a former First Poster, nexxus7, by JumpinJehosaphat	Nov 18th, 2008 09:17:38 AM
I can say weird hours and lucky timing is all that it was. Before I posted "First", I had usually thought it was a stupid practice. Then I had the chance, and I did the same damn thing. Think of being the first to lay down some footprints in newly-fallen snow on a usually busy street; it's like that.
I'm excited by yodaismyhomie	Nov 18th, 2008 09:22:32 AM
I remember the first two films and loved them. Does anyone know if the original kids are going to make cameos or anything all grown up? Maybe as a couple of the pursuing agents or something? @grammaton- I could be wrong but I think Dwayne Johnson has started doing these movies because he has kids and he wants them to be able to watch his films. I have a lot of admiration for that. We live in a world with people who don't have any moral values and don't want to stand up and do the right thing...he is setting an EXCELLENT example for his children by doing these kinds of movies.
Blonde girl looks like Anna Faris little sister by Squashua	Nov 18th, 2008 09:22:44 AM
Like they cloned her or something. Is that who I'm thinking of, or am I thinking of someone else?
lex romero by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Nov 18th, 2008 09:39:42 AM
In the original the kids had telekenisis, and I think that was it. Maybe they talked to animals too, but I don't remember. So there I can see them needing help from the late great Eddie Albert in his flying Winnebago. Well, okay, they made it fly. But this one it looks like except for flying we have junior superheroes. Again, I will see this, I just hope they offer a valid explanation as to why they need any help.
THE ROCK a kids film pussy or action star? by ABking	Nov 18th, 2008 09:43:29 AM
Is THE ROCK a coward to become an all out action star while he is young and able to do it all? Is he just plain dumb? Does he even want to be the next big action star? ESCAPE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN doesn't look bad, but it's a friggin kids film. I have nothing against them since I do enjoy well made ones...but WTF! Dwayne should be making hard action films like QUANTUM OF SOLACE, not baby kids films with action in them. He might have a huge hit with MOUNTAIN, but how long can that last. Vin Diesel is smarter doing films like THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS 4 and XXX 3.
stand in place let car hit you- car go boom! by DRACULA_WANTS_THE_AMULET	Nov 18th, 2008 09:44:18 AM
Tom York did it first in a music video featuring a bum getting hit by cars in a tunnel. Then the fantastic four, then superhero movie, and now this movie. I'm sure another film did it as well. Very tired and abused film effect. Car really hits a grounded pole, and the pole is digitally erased/replaced with the actor.
Actually looked good....... by Ninja Nerd	Nov 18th, 2008 09:48:30 AM
The original is an OK film, but simple and kind of crude in terms of FX. And, it couldn't decide if it was serious SF or a kid's film, so the tone was real uneven. This looks like a Roswell with a bigger budget. Might not suck!
ABking by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Nov 18th, 2008 09:51:04 AM
The Rock did Scorpion King, The Rundown, Waling Tall and Doom. Then, he started branching out in Be Cool, and has further branched out to do comedy. Here is a man who has transformed himself from wrestler, to action star to an actor who can do both action, and great comedy. Why would you want to typecast him? Why would anyone want to do that to themself? Vin did Find Me Guilt in an effort to branch out. It didn't do that well, but I thought he was great in it. Dwayne and Vin are better actors than Sly, not writers or directors mind you, but actors in that they can do not just action and do it well. Sly could only pull off action as an actor, but he does it incredibly well. Actually I take that back, he can't do pure drama, but there was a good amount of drama in Rocky Balboa that he handled well.
DRACULA_WANTS_THE_AMULET by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Nov 18th, 2008 09:52:27 AM
The beginning of Constantine had it. It was an I-beam buried in the ground, and the engine was removed from the car which was shot at the beam. It's like any effect; cool the first few times it's used, then it becomes passe.
My daughter saw the trailer and asked... by telecomplainer	Nov 18th, 2008 09:53:38 AM
If they were rebooting ben 10 as a live action movie franchise :/
Hey... pretty neat. by Jawa 007	Nov 18th, 2008 09:54:08 AM
I'm there.
For a modern day kiddie adventure... by fitz-hume	Nov 18th, 2008 10:10:41 AM
this one looks rather promising. In spirit it seems closer to WarGames than to the original Escape To Witch Mountain movie but that of course is not a bad a thing at all.
This will do well by Mel Gibsteinberg	Nov 18th, 2008 10:13:25 AM
Disney is pretty smart, make a reasonably exciting action movie that the whole family can go see, and you just made bank. Dad's will be willing to take their kids to this, and if you can get them to go, you have a bunch of others as well. Only question, why release this in March, that's a dead zone, but this has National Treasure audiences written all over it.
It might be okay . . . by adiehardfanwithalethalweapon	Nov 18th, 2008 10:23:53 AM
it did have a little matrix in the chase scene but it was kinda cool.
Not bad... by 420 Boylston St	Nov 18th, 2008 10:25:05 AM
The trailer looks fun. I won't have to think too much for this film and it appears very family friendly. I'm not sure if I will see this in the theater but I may take a crack at this film on dvd. Did anyone notice the kind of shots shown on this film? They're in my face. It appears Disney is setting this film for a 3D release as well.
hmm by TakeItEasyMon	Nov 18th, 2008 10:38:08 AM
Not for me, but it does look a smidge better than most of the Disney stuff.
I was so dead set against the very NOTION by ArcadianDS	Nov 18th, 2008 10:41:30 AM
of this movie. But the trailer wins me. Looks like it goes great with popcorn. Dwayne Johnson most under-rated actor today? Possibly so.
also by ArcadianDS	Nov 18th, 2008 10:44:15 AM
Just taking a guess as to why they need a cab driver - could it be that he's one of them and for some reason, doesn't remember? Not a spoiler - just a reasonable guess.
Wow that was kinda cool by Animation	Nov 18th, 2008 11:00:54 AM
Compared to what I remember about the old ones, that was pretty darn cool. I will check it out for sure.
Grammaton Cleric Binks by Philo	Nov 18th, 2008 11:04:33 AM
Way off topic to start with guys - sorry. As for Sly not being able to act, Copland anyone? This looks fun though and Dwayne deserves some cudos for trying something different. I like the guy and he always brings someting to his roles other than the obvious.
'Carla Gugino by Philo	Nov 18th, 2008 11:05:39 AM
And Carla Gugino is smokin'. That's all, just totally smokin
As for why they need help by Animation	Nov 18th, 2008 11:10:17 AM
For one thing, having an adult with kids makes the kids less conspicuous. Also, if they are aliens, they may need help navigating some basic culture stuff ... he is a streetwise cabbie who probably has valuable information on how to go from A to B. Finally, never forget that it is always to have extra allies so there are more targets for the bad guys to shoot at. The guys chasing them are more likely to fire at the big dumb cabble, thereby letting the kids get away. Never throw away a resource, until you need to (Cannon Fodder). :)
I'd watch Gugino read the paper for 2 hours... by Toby Wan	Nov 18th, 2008 11:19:00 AM
and rub her feet while she did it. I am there.
When the girl asks "What do aliens look like?" by Billy Goat	Nov 18th, 2008 11:19:15 AM
And The Rock (TM) says, "You know: green skin, antenna, take me to your leader..." I totally expected the next shot to be of the boy morphing into a green alien. Comedy moment. I'm glad they didn't do that.
Why doesn't he call himself Rock Johnson? by Toby Wan	Nov 18th, 2008 11:21:30 AM
Rock Johnson sounds cooler than Dwayne. Rock Johnson .... Oh, wait.......that sounds like a porn name, doesn't it? Can't have a Disney movie starring Rock Johnson...or Peter North, either.
What is it with movies recently? by Breotan	Nov 18th, 2008 11:26:31 AM
I remember the old Witch Mountian as having a charm or emotional warmth to it. You cared about the people in the movie. This "remake" doesn't really show any of that. In fact, a lot of movies recently have been big on eye-candy but have the emotional depth of a bucket of nails. Kim Richards had a vulnerability about her that made you care about two kids on the run. AnnaSophia seems distant with an almost android-like coldness. While the Rock has a few one-liners, he just doesn't have the charm that Eddy Albert had. This version appears to be more along the lines of Clockstoppers. A movie that you appreciate as being family fun, but not something that's going to fill us with a sense of nostalgia for the actors or the characters portrayed.
Sadly, they removed the squid from Witch Mountain by JumpinJehosaphat	Nov 18th, 2008 11:29:47 AM
As a result, this movie will suck.

if it helps you appreciate the effect a bit more the car in this trailer is entirely CG....no live action car at all...for the shot when it hits the boy...
Looks good. by mrfan	Nov 18th, 2008 11:56:19 AM
Will be seeing this.
this is the movie by im nar	Nov 18th, 2008 11:56:45 AM

Because Pacifier made more than his last three films. Dwayne Johnson--this film is pure $$$. Disney is on a roll.
DWAYNE JOHNSON IS SUPERMAN. by Shermdawg	Nov 18th, 2008 01:08:40 PM
DO YOU HEAR ME WARNER BROS.???
Oh, and the movie looks like it might be alright. by Shermdawg	Nov 18th, 2008 01:09:31 PM
I'll always be partial to the originals though.
Superman? by Don Lockwood	Nov 18th, 2008 01:14:03 PM
No. Dwayne Johnson is Black Adam. I mean, c'mon.
Fuck Black Adam. by Shermdawg	Nov 18th, 2008 01:22:44 PM
Fuck Captain Marvel. Johnson deserves better. Superman deserves better. He deserves an actor that can move the franchise ahead. Modernize it. One that can offer elements to Clarks upbringing that some white guy never could. Elements that would improve his origin. Make his struggle to not abuse his power even greater. That and the fact that no one, and I mean NO ONE, is as electrifying as Mr.Johnson. He is the perfect man for the role. And should be considered.
oh dwayne "the rock" johnson. by frankenfickle	Nov 18th, 2008 01:31:59 PM
i like you so much. why are you always in crap movies like this?
Philo by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Nov 18th, 2008 01:33:00 PM
I liked Copland. I don't think it was enough to make me think of Sly as a pure dramatic actor though, but I would like to see more. Oh he was good, don't get me wrong. He's a great writer, but action is his main thing. I didn't see Oscar, or Stop or My Mom will shoot, but I hear bad things. Still, it was pretty ballsy for Sly to appear in one scene in Stop wearing a diaper in some sort of dream/fantasy sequence. In general I'm just saying Dwayne is more well rounded. He's nailed action and comedy. I don't know how he'd do in drama.
Eh... by Zeegloo	Nov 18th, 2008 01:51:00 PM
I'd maybe give it a rental.
Dwayne looks Bored. by spidermanfreak20	Nov 18th, 2008 01:51:32 PM
He has this feeling like...eh. He's phoning it in. Maybe it was the vibe from the trailer. But if he was going for a Jamie Foxx/Max Collateral vibe albeit Cabbie mixed up in craziness it seems to be failing. I don't get the Close Encounters From the Third Kind vibe of wonder like Dreyfus had. I know he says "You guys dont look like aliens." But maybe they should have. Because the only other actor who could pull off what he's trying to do would have been Will Smith. Calm placed charisma. I dunno maybe it's the trailer but not looking forward to this.
I can see them needing help by yodaismyhomie	Nov 18th, 2008 01:53:13 PM
So the kids have the telekinesis like they did in the old one, and the boy can clearly pass through solid objects or become a rock (no pun intended) if need be to stop a moving vehicle, but we don't seem them flying or teleporting themselves. So they still need to get from point A to point B. they are morally good and wont steal a car to transport them so they need the Rock to help them get to witch mountain. :)
So Star Trek and Watchmen get slammed.... by bonecrushersmith	Nov 18th, 2008 02:06:24 PM
And you guys love this? I mean, I think it looks decent too, but c'mon.
hmmm.. by MichaelCorleone	Nov 18th, 2008 02:13:27 PM
I wasn't expecting to want to see this or care. I loved the original as a kid but figured this would just be a remake with nothing behind it. This trailer has me sort of sold though. I'll reserve judgment, and I doubt I'll see it in theaters, but this looks like it will be a great film for children and have a similar effect as the original did for me years ago. It's a kids movie, so we older folks aren't the group that should like it. That being said there is a lot to like in that trailer. It doesn't look like it's played for laughs or camp. I like that things seem to be fairly serious. Hopefully Disney will do right by the original.
Needs the kid from the original. The guy with the massive nostri by Knobules	Nov 18th, 2008 02:28:57 PM
Who was that guy? He was in Wrath of Kahn also. My god the nostrils on that guy. Just huge massive black holes.

was also used in Hancock, just remove car, insert train.
You Know... by manicart1	Nov 18th, 2008 03:12:03 PM
I loved the Witch Mountain films as a kid, and this has melted my jaded heart. The trailer was very corny, but the film still looks like a lot of fun. It has the feel of 'Short Circuit' or 'Flight of the Navigator'-- two of my favourite kids movies. It also reminds me (and this is sad) of that 'Benji' TV series where he was protecting an alien boy prince from two evil bounty hunters who rode around in a souped up A Team Van.
Oh yeah, and Carla Gugino by manicart1	Nov 18th, 2008 03:13:19 PM
makes me want to beat little Manicart1 like he owes me money.

Check out The Rock's first Saturday Night Live appearance. He was Clark Kent in one of the skits, where they portrayed Lois, Perry, and Jimmy as obviously knowing Kent was Superman, though they didn't let him know. His costume was sticking out below his pants and above his collar. Pretty funny stuff.

ANNA SOPHIA ROBB!!!!! by Earthquake WestCoast	Nov 18th, 2008 04:07:17 PM
Anna Sophia Robb is a good actress. She doesn't get on my nerves like those disney whores (Miley Cyrus and any HSM chick) or like any CW teen prositute. THE FILM LOOKS GOOD BTW. But, it needs to be a sequel to the original two, I know Kim and Ike have cameos, but they need to be playing their original characters!
bonecrushersmith - it's because of no expectations by www.valiens.com	Nov 18th, 2008 05:11:55 PM
The other two you mentioned have off the chart expectations attached to them. This looks way better than it should. There are a lot of cameos from the world of ufology in this too not that...you know...anyone cares.

Looks Great-much better than Star Trek!!! LOL by Mr.LordBronco	Nov 18th, 2008 07:49:45 PM
Really, it looks good-Dwayne, super powered kids... and seemingly much more coherency than that godawful Star Trek trailer (why can't I stop hating on that POS?) Carla Gugino-can't go wrong-Spy Kids 1 and 2 were really great live action kids films. I liked the grim opening-makes me remember the old nasty Disney flicks that I still cherish from being a child. Unlike trek, it looks like a faithful reboot/reimagination. Action, leads you may have sympathy with-good dialogue. Looks like fun, -MLB P.S. That new Trek is going to make disaster movie look like airplane-gahh that trailer sucked!
Watcher in The Woods for example as to gnarly Disney flicks by Mr.LordBronco	Nov 18th, 2008 07:52:29 PM
Watch it from Netflix, It was even more disturbing in hindsight... Tron, The original escape movies, Balck Hole, they were really awesomely grim pG rated flicks. -MLB
As a fan of the old films... by CZ	Nov 18th, 2008 08:19:02 PM
I'm a fan of the originals, and my first reaction is that the kids are awfully powered up. The way they've reworked the premise (the kids know they're aliens from the beginning and have full control of their powers), this is clearly going to be a big, loud effects movie without the paranormal mystery and creepy undertones of "Escape to Witch Mountain." Oh well.
Totally ruined the plot by mos6507	Nov 18th, 2008 08:45:06 PM
The whole idea of the original film was that the main characters were orphans who were having a hard time finding a place in the world. They were trying to remember where they came from and they bonded with the loner character of Eddie Albert. There are universal themes there. The aliens were just visitors who wanted to keep a low profile and didn't want to get in anybody's way. Now it's just an alien invasion thriller. They shouldn't have even tried to piggyback on the franchise, but that's Hollywood these days.
DRACULA_WANTS_THE_AMULET by 433	Nov 18th, 2008 09:39:14 PM
No, PREACHER did it before any of those. The "Rabbit in the Headlights" video was from 1998-99, the issue of PREACHER was from 1996.
Mr.LordBronco: You seen WITW lately? by Playkins	Nov 18th, 2008 10:45:30 PM
I did.... it doesn't hold up. And it's one that scared the absolute piss out of me when I was like 10. The beauty of TRON is that it somehow became MORE relevant with age... definitely ahead of its time. Something that I think very few of today's films can claim.

I'm glad everyone loves the Gugino by oisin5199	Nov 19th, 2008 12:02:55 AM
I'm right there with you - I think she's one of the hottest women in the business. But this movie? Come on! Rock totally looks like he has the same expression in every scene. And he's bored. Plus, this completely shits on the original movie and the book. The whole point about these kids was that they DIDN'T know they were aliens. They were just misunderstood loners who had weird powers and everyone was either afraid of them or trying to use them. If everyone knows 'Witch Mountain' is all about aliens, why isn't it called 'Alien Mountain'? The point is that the kids were called 'witches' because they had these powers they didn't understand. And finding out that they were aliens and in the end were welcomed by their own people, was really just a metaphor for becoming part of an accepting community - there was little to no science fiction element about the book at all. This whole action adventure scifi thing is so far away from the book it's laughable. The original film is one of my earliest cinematic memories (I'll never forget the opening titles with the drawings of the dogs). And I loved the book, which was even more disturbing and creepy than the movie. This is so different they might as well call it something else.

Because the Witch Mountain trailers gives us the Gugino goodness the Watchmen trailer deprived us of. This new version seems like a fun kids/action movie. I have no memory of the original, I know I've seen them as a kid but that's it. I remember seeing Watcher in the Woods when I was like 6 and it bored the hell out of me, but I couldnt tell you a damn thing about it.
that alien bounty hunter looks like Guyver by the milf lover	Nov 19th, 2008 01:55:19 AM
we dont really get a good look at it, but with the armor and spikes on the arms, it looks like the Guyver to me.
This Looks Better Than The New Star Trek Movie!!! by Media Messiah	Nov 19th, 2008 02:07:08 AM
I'm impressed!!! I loved the original and it's sequels...but I thought this would be a mess. I am glad to say that they got it right!!! But the Star Trek Trailer, is just horrible!!!
Looks good - who's the bad guy? by Brody77	Nov 19th, 2008 02:39:25 AM
He looks familiar, but fatter than I remember? I wish The Rock would do another action flick like The Rundown. That was awesome.

Dublin born actor also been in Rome and There Will Be Blood.
I agree that AnnaSophia Robb's "alien" acting by CreasyBear	Nov 19th, 2008 06:17:26 AM
detracts. We need to empathize with the characters whether they're human or animal or toys, whatever, and her robot voice is distancing. Jeff Bridges could pull off robotic, alien acting in Starman, but as much respect as I have for Robb as a great child actor (Sleepwalking), she ain't no Jeff Bridges.

The Rock owned that night. He was still a wrestler then. I have NEVER laughed so hard watching SNL. Every sketch he was in was great. Even one as basic as Nick O'Trell. "You don't talk to Nick O'Trell like that." Even McMahon, as annoying as he can be was great doing the intro.

AnnaSophia Robb is the new Natalie Portman by estacado1	Nov 19th, 2008 11:33:58 AM
Because I'd like to have sex with her when she turns 18.
Looks like The Rock's career by disfigurehead	Nov 19th, 2008 01:01:07 PM
is pretty much done. Thanks for everything big guy.
I'll defi itely see this movie. by Nesstar	Nov 19th, 2008 01:41:43 PM
It's taken me a while to forgive the Rock for "Southland Tales". But this might do the trick.
I am seeing Carla Gugino's breasts from Sin City right now... by Leafar the Lost	Nov 19th, 2008 01:46:41 PM
...and everytime I see her on TV or in a movie I picture those tits. They were beautiful and so very touchable. She will not be topless in this movie, so I will not see it. I hope Carla realizes that she needs to be topless again on film and she needs to do it soon. Oh, I think the Rock will be in the Shazam movie...
What I really liked about the old version was the music... by Dreamwriter	Nov 19th, 2008 08:39:30 PM
...and this trailer's music actually sounds kinda like it (even if it's just some random action filler they found for the trailer).
I'm gonna go ahead and say, "no," to this. by Royston Lodge	Nov 19th, 2008 09:19:11 PM
I gotta agree with the critics who're saying this doesn't seem to have the charm, warmth, or heart of the original. What made the original work was how it started off as a very small story (two kids in an orphanage with a few powers) and built up into a much bigger story by the end. By starting small, you got an emotional attachment to the characters AND the big reveal at the end seemed that much bigger. Judging from this trailer, this flick goes big from the very beginning. So, if the first act is already big, where does the movie go from there? Pacing is important. One thing this trailer did do was make me want to see the original again.
Ding, dong, this witch looks lame... by Citizen Sane	Nov 20th, 2008 12:26:41 AM
Even as a kid, I thought the original Withc Mountain movies were lame (even though my own Uncle portayed the sherrif). This looks like it is going to suck even more. They can throw all the slick FX they want into it, but this looks like it is going to be nothing but one formulaic cliche after another.
I Rubbed against AnnaSophia's butt once at a premire by Alex Mack	Nov 20th, 2008 04:54:15 PM
She felt great!
God bless Carla Gugino, she will do anything by reflecto	Nov 20th, 2008 06:45:26 PM
Naked prisoner in SIN CITY, she's down with that. Jet Li's Buddhist wife who doesn't even have a real name in THE ONE, she can play it. Robert De Niro's BDSM fucktoy in RIGHTEOUS KILL, no problem. She is committed, y'all. I like Dwayne Johnson too. He is a fine actor who got used and abused horribly by Richard Kelly in that piece of shit SOUTHLAND TALES. He deserves better. But this looks fun.
This looks like retarded garbage by Subversive01057	Nov 20th, 2008 07:26:06 PM
What a bomb. Nothing like the original, which was at least a decent kid's movie.
Looks like fun by Thot	Dec 3rd, 2008 10:56:03 AM
Good family fare. However, I do tire of the grossly overused "big bad government/alien" thing. Sigh. Oh, well.
