Expendables 3

dupa Colllider
The grumpy factor of The Expendables 3 has just undergone a net change of zero. Sylvester Stallone tweeted earlier today that Bruce Willis is out of the film, but Harrison Ford is now in. It’s unclear if Ford will be playing Willis’ character from the previous two films or if he’ll be given a new character, but Stallone noted that he has “been waiting years for this” re: working with Ford. Stallone followed the news up with a tweet that appears to be aimed squarely at Willis: “GREEDY AND LAZY ….. A SURE FORMULA FOR CAREER FAILURE.” Red Hill director Patrick Hughes is poised to direct the sequel with a cast that includes Jackie Chan, Nicolas Cage, Wesley Snipes, Kellan Lutz, and Milla Jovovich, and we should hear more casting news in the coming weeks. Rumors have swirled that Mel Gibson will be playing the villain, but we have thus far received no confirmation on that front. [Update: The Wrap's Jeff Sneider confirms Ford will play a new character and is not a direct replacement for Willis.] Production on Expendables 3 should begin later this year or early next year, as the film is slated for release on August 15, 2014.

singura mea speranta, sa fie cit de cit mai ok filmul decit duda de dinainte, Expendables a dezamagit, poate cu un regizor ca John Woo sau John McTiernan sa se fi facut ceva. Simon West e un hack si 2-ul a fost rizibil, mai ales cu settingul bulgaresc, in pofida unui JCVD ok, unei glumite cu Chuck Norris si prezenata grotesca a lui govn' Schwarzie "i'll be back". Also no Mickey Rourke. E ca o conventie de fosti care dau autografe pe 5 dolari fi ceva mai bun. Probabil Willis prefea o franciza cu actori mai seriosi, cum e RED, un alt sellout. Sa nu vorbim de Die Hard 5 adica A Good Day to Die Hard, ca pina si Expendables 2 e parfum fata de acesta. Sa ne amintim de vremurile dinainte, de Wild Geese, de Lupii marilor ? Sau de Space Cowboys ? Am in schimb ceva incredere in regizorul lui Red Hill, australianul Patrick Hughes. The aging action hero can not surrender, he can only die with his boots ON !!!
or off..
dupa ce m vazut filmul, care e jalllleeeee (jeleo)

Joe Cocker live @Bucuresti setlist and more

La 69 de ani Joe Cocker a fost din nou in Romania...a treia oara...l-am vazut in 1994 pe stadionul national, acum demolat. Nu m-am dus la Cerbul si acum trebuia sa fie la Romexpo dar showul a fost mutat la Sala palatului.
Nu ma astepatm sa o gasesc arhiplina, dar poate si datorita promotiilor de ultim moment (50%), asa era.
Un show impecabil, clasa si o trupa excelenta. Cred ca afara, open air si cu o bere ar fi fost si mai de apreciat. Dar sunetul aici a fost mai bun, cald, Si Cocker, bonom, cu burticia lui si salturile slo-mo si airguitar-ul trademark, a fost Up there, where he belongs. Pe de alta parte, vorbim de un om cu un premiu Oscar, nu ? Ca si Globul de Aur si Grammy-ul...Pentru Up Where We Belong (cu Jennifer Warnes atunci, in 1982, in filmul lui Taylor Hackford).
A cintat 4 piese de pe noul abum, din 2012, Fire It Up si hiturile, my faved, The Letter, Up Where we Belong si Come Together !

LMA Peter O'Toole

reiau postul de anul trecut cu modificari

Leul in iarna ! Colonelul Lawrence, vazut recent ca modelul androidului David in Prometheus, a implinit 81 de ani. Anul trecut s-a retras din lumea filmului. Peter O'Toole a avut 8 nominalizari la Oscar si a primit in final un Oscar omagial, in 2003, pe care initial l-a refuzat.

A mai fost nominalizat ulterior, pentru Venus, in 2006. O cariera extraordinara, un actor legendar, un talent magic. La multi ani Murphy, Becket, Omul din La Mancha si Good Bye Mr. Chips !
...in nemuritoarele cuvinte ale lui Eli Cross: "How tall is King Kong ?;>

Sting -Back to Bass la Bucuresti

Ieri, in ultima azi din iulie...la Romexpo, a fost, la 3 zile dupa Rammstein ! si exact opusul, in alb si liniste si cu tot spatiul cit golden si silver-ul lor :(, ultimul concert din turneul 'Back To Bass' mr, Sting, pentru a patra oara in Romania (prima in 1996), alaturi de trupa sa de muzicieni de exceptie, chitaristul sau Dominic Miller, David Sancious (clape, de la E Street Band alui Bruce Springsteen), Peter Tickell (vioara electrica), Jo Lawry (voce), si Vinnie Colaiuta (frecvent colaborator al lui Sting, baterist legendar pe care l-am mai vazut la Bucuresti alaturi de Chick Corea si John McLaughlin).
In deschidere au cintat James Walsh (de la Starsailor) si Mike and the Mechanics (Mike Rutherford, de la Genesis, a doua venire dupa Rock the City 2011), care n-au cintat Silent Running :(, in schimb au bagat I Can't Dance. Me neither...
Si desi s-a scandat- Heavy Cloud-----No Rain-imediat dupa concert, chiar la iesire a inceput o ploie torentiala (din punctul asta de vedere George D., te-ai scos, dar eu am intrat la Golden:), un potop, cum nu m-a mai plouat de mult -si mi-a facut terci tricoul cu The Police de la concertul din Torino din 2007-, si apoi potopul a continuat...in alta parte...
