Movie Review and Preview

So, tonight I took a girl from my former school on a date. We decided at the last minute as we walked up tot he ticket window to see "The Last Air Bender"


NOW, the movie done by director "M. Night Shamalan" (sp?) is based of a Anime played on American TV channel Nickelodeon.



vvvv: This is a FAN MADE video of what would come if there was a movie made of it.







vvvv THIS is the trailer for M. Nights version that went into theaters.






Now, my critique is somewhat short. M. night although constantly being bashed for fucking up movies... did a decent job on this one, GIVEN the fact that he had a crap load of anime and pre-written, pre-drawn, pre-released story line and tv show to work off of. its a shame he effed the small bits he did at all. (>__<) First off, he should have fired his casting director....

I was unaware the world was made of of all white people... But this movie changed that. he must of not noticed that in the cartoon, the different tribes resembled there real life geographical counterparts.

The southern water tribe = Eskimo-type people. The earth nation was Native American/Hispanic type people. The fire nation were Asian type, resembled Japanese mostly. And the air nation, was a mixture of White/ Asian influence.

Second off, M. Night condensed a good half the story line and the movie skipped around a little bit, making it hard to follow if you hadn't seen the cartoon before. This alone made me want to ask my date if we could sneak into another movie, since she kept leaning in saying, "I'm lost, who is he?"

Third off, That dumb ass director condensed a movie that already ran just under 2 hours. Wtf?! why condense it if its 1hr 45mins long, just get your lord of the ring shit on and make a 3 hrs give us the full story line!

THEEEEENNNNN! Inside that two hours of condense storyline, he only gave us one chapter... OUT OF THREE!!!!!

But off to better things, In the commercials for the movie before hand, I saw a trailer for a movie I've been waiting to see if it got put into productions. THE GREEN HORNET. Many of you know that hip hop was shaped by pop culture, and one of the biggest influences was martial arts, and BRUCE LEE. well, Bruce Lees FIRST American TV acting role, was as KATO, in "THE GREEN HORNET".

For those of you who don't know who Bruce Lee was, here's the second fight scene he has in his debut American movie, ENTER THE DRAGON vvvv




This movie stars Seth Rogen, from movies such as, "Knocked up", "Zach And Mari Make A Porno", "Pineapple Express", and "Funny People".

Jay Chou is a Chinese pop star and has Acted in a well know live action movie of an anime called "Initial D (The Movie)". If it looks familiar, Initial D is what was used as the base for "The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift" IMO Initial D was a better made movie, better (and more) racing scenes.

Heres a trailer vvv




So with no further a due, everyone, THE GREEN HORNET TRAILER! vvv
