Body: Since I have to teen girls, we treated Dad to a guy move, this robot movie. Since I'm a Terminator fan, I was hoping to follow up with the current storyline. I was at the edge of my seat the whole time! Just when I thought the movie was coming to an end, something dramatically goes wrong and then here comes more action! I wasn't sure the kids would like it because they never seen the other movies with Arnold Sschwarz....egger. But when the credits came up, they applauded the move. Good work! Very good writing!

Body: The Reader was my pick for Best Picture last year. I loved the style and the stillness. Kate Winslet ("Revolutionary Road"), David Kross ("Krabat") and Ralph Fiennes ("The Duchess") broke my heart. I had read the book on which this film is based years ago, but can't remember enough to compare. The story follows a young teen who begins an affair with an older woman. Years later, he sees her on trail as a Nazi war criminal. It's thought provoking and thoroughly depressing. I loved it.Sleeping with the Enemy is one of those quick 90s thrillers we don't see much of now. Julia Roberts ("Duplicity") escapes from an abusive marriage by faking her own death. But then the husband discovers the ruse and comes looking for her. Entertaining but forgettable.My love for Jennifer Garner ("Juno") and the little bit of charm left to Matthew McConaughey ("Tropic Thunder") after learning he doesn't wear deodorant got me through the mostly routine romantic comedy, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. As my coworker said, it was nice to see the three ghosts used in a non-Christmas fashion. But, though this role calls for that age, McConaughey is getting a little to old to play this romantic comedy role over and over. McConaughey is the consummate bachelor attending his younger brother's wedding where he starts to ruin everything. Garner is the one who got away. Wait to watch this on cable.I freaking love Christian Bale ("The Dark Knight"). I don't care how many people he cusses out. Terminator Salvation is really more of a platform for Sam Worthington ("Rogue") than Bale, but Bale's still there trying to bring some seriousness to the ridiculous story. Of course, the effects are top notch and the machines look great, but the plot is so thin. And poor Bryce Dallas Howard ("The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond") just spends the whole time staring wide-eyed at the camera, barely speaking. A bit of a waste really. My husband disliked this more than I. He said this film killed the series.The Spiderwick Chronicles is based on a series of children's books about a family who finds a portal to a magical world. When they move into a new house, Freddie Highmore ("The Golden Compass") finds a book that, when read, opens the gate. Then he must convince his family it's really happening. I got sucking into this film, even while fighting against it. The family tension is believable and the creature effects turn out pretty fantastic. By the end, I couldn't look away. It is a little dark for the PG rating though, so beware of that.

Body: I have always tried to maintain low expectations for Hollywood product in general. But when it comes to highly anticipated movies, particularly blockbuster sequels to popular sci-fi action franchises, my excitement can get the best of me. Whenever I need to calm down my expectations, though, I simply recall all the disappointments of 1997 (Alien Resurrection, The Lost World, the Star Wars Special Edition), and I can get through the hype pretty safely. Considering I’m one of the few who actually loved both Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and (yes, even) McG’s Charlie’s Angels movies, it’s hard for me to believe that I’m also one of the few who isn’t now expecting Terminator Salvation to be the second coming of Christ The Terminator after watching the new trailer (embedded below). Sure, Christian Bale could very well be a lucky charm to franchise reboots (though does anyone believe this will be even a tenth as good as Batman Begins?) and T4 could easily be better than rival summer blockbuster Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (though “easily” is an understatement, because Transformer 2 will suck just as bad as Transformers 1). But with two and a half months left until the movie opens, it’s just too early for us to be going so ga-ga over one piece of marketing. The only thing left to happen now is a backlash, which I guess I’m sort of starting right now? Here’s a sample of the most extreme gushing to hit the blogosphere since the trailer’s premiere last night: Vulture gets credit for both the Batman Begins and the Transformers comparisons: From the looks of this trailer [McG] seems as if he’s on the cusp of delivering one of the best franchise reboots since Chris Nolan decided to take on Bruce Wayne…guaranteed to make Michael Bay seethe with jealousy: huge robots, even huger explosions, and, gasp, realistic-seeming human emotion! Sean at FilmJunk adds to the better-than-Transformers discussion: “Not only does Terminator Salvation have giant robots, explosions and impressive special effects, but it also has acting talent, an interesting story, and a sense of style.” While I’m sure (and hoping) she’s at least half-joking, Best Week Ever’s Michelle Collins nicknames the director “McGenius” and believes the trailer is great enough to now ensure people will be lining up days in advance. Note to Warner Bros.: you apparently needn’t spend money on further marketing materials. You’re good. Neil Miller at FIlmSchoolRejects is overly dramatic and overly excited: Even Christian Bale, master of all things badass — a man who has saved Gotham City twice from disaster — cannot stop the elimination in McG’s soon to be awesome Terminator Salvation. Am I being dramatic? Yes. Is this movie going to rock you to your core? Absolutely, yes. Alex Billington at FirstShowing.net, on the other hand, still prefers to hate on the director in spite of all his excitement: “Watching this makes me forget that McG is even directing this and makes me believe that we may actually see an awesome Terminator movie. This year’s summer movie season is looking better and better with every new day!” Rob at Topless Robot at least seems to understand the relativity that’s affecting his fanboy salivation: “Am I the only one excirted because my expectations for a McG-directed Terminator were so abyssmally low?” Todd Brown at Twitch nominates the spot as the “Best Trailer of The Year” and claims it’s better than any of the trailers for either of the James Cameron installments: To him, it “comes as near to perfection as I’ve seen in a long, long time.” Meredith Woerner at io9 pumps up the fanboys with screenshots, including some resembling parts of Star Wars and Firefly. Empire (and also Topless Robot) also sees some Battlestar Galactica resemblance. Oh, TMZ, you’re still on the Bale tirade story? Don’t you know today’s a day for positive T4 news? Okay, there is at least one blogger with lower expectations than I have: Rod at ThePlaylist. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog

Body: Never mind all those Oscar predictions posts out there. If you really want to make some money in the office pool, look no further than a random blog created specifically to leak the winners of this year’s Academy Awards. Think it’s a hoax? I guess we just won’t know until Sunday, will we? And by then you’ll be out hundreds of dollars because you didn’t bet on The Reader for Best Adapted Screenplay. Okay, so who cares if it’s real or not, particularly in this predictable a year, anyway? The real betting should be on who the telecast producers have wrangled to be those “top secret” presenters. Oh wait, it seems the big names, those that obviously should be revealed in order to attract their audiences, have also come out. Ah, but what are they saying about either leak on the interweb, you ask? As usual, check out the quotes/links after the jump. Since I found out about the Oscar winners leak first from Cinematical, here’s an argument in favor of its legitimacy from Erik Davis, aided by Kevin at Moviefone: “Of course there’s a very good chance it’s a fake, but as Kevin noted in our AIM conversation: ‘I mean, it looks right… the fact that Best Supporting Actress is outta nowhere somehow lends it credibility.’” Brad Brevet at RopeofSilicon.com argues in favor of it being a hoax, yet forwards the list along anyway: “Ballots for the 2009 Oscar Awards were due by 5 PM last night and so the idea this site is claiming to have the list of winners already is just stupid, but it doesn’t mean the list doesn’t have that odd sense of it could happen with a few “surprise” choices (Amy Adams).” Nikki Finke refers to the mysterious posting as “annoying Oscar bullshit” and writes, “At this point, with so many of the categories locked as far back as December, I’m sure a chimpanzee could have come up with the same names.” Word that Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson will be a presenter this year has been out since last week, but Vulture had the best reaction yesterday: “The plan to keep the names of this year’s Oscar presenters a secret suddenly makes sense … producers were probably just trying to prevent vampire riots at the Kodak Theatre on Sunday night.” E! Online has now leaked some more presenters/performers: High School Musical’s Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, Beyonce, Dominic Cooper and Amanda Seyfried. And somehow, Tom O’Neil at The Envelope has added Miley Cyrus to that list. Pete Hammond at The Envelope writes what everyone else is sure of regarding the Pattinson and Efron leaks: “I would be willing to bet the producers leaked that one themselves to entice potential younger viewers turned off by the absence of movies such as “Dark Knight” in marquee categories.” STV at Defamer, in a roundup that also references word that Jennifer Aniston is presenting, writes what everyone is wishing for regarding the shitty Efron and Hudgens leak: “[They] will be among the performers to help nurture this year’s Oscar renaissance, hopefully teaming for a Best Picture reenactment of Slumdog Millionaire’s romantic latrine-escape sequence. This about a week old, but according to AJ Schnack at All these wonderful things, Albert Maysles has directed a short film introducing this year’s documentary nominees. Anybody interested in knowing beforehand what some of the ads during the Oscars will be? Here’s a post at The Big Picture about the telecast’s difficulty attracting sponsors, with a reveal of an ad from Culver Restaurants. Previously announced movie ads to be shown include Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Sherlock Holmes and Terminator Salvation. And now, keeping with the idea of Oscars spoilers, also via Cinematical, a video that spoils all the endings to all the Best Picture winners: Originally posted on:SpoutBlog

Body: I feel terrible for exploiting the Christian Bale Terminator Salvation rant tape for multiple posts in a matter of hours, but these two items just happened to pop up next to each other in my feed reader, and the convergence was just too much too ignore (and anyway — I’m allowed one “What? It’s meta-criticism of the media coverage!” post every now and then, right?) First, via FilmDrunk, a jokey video in which “Warner Brother Public Relations Rep Rob Delaney” (previously seen responding to this Harry Potter scandal) condones Bale’s “lesson in professionalism” by tying it to his method: “Christian Bale is a motherfucking tornado of pain and talent. Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, American Psycho. What do these films have in common? They’re all films where Christian Bale plays himself…” Then, this very long ABC News story, in which therapists, Bale’s former assistant, and an US Weekly editor all strenuously imply that Bale becomes so one with his characters that he was actually probably yelling at the DP in character as the Terminator. “The art of acting is not paint by numbers, it’s an art form,” reminds T4’s asisstant director. And “anger expert” Richard Driscoll has high marks for the performance: Once he started he could very well have gotten into the artistry and the craft of what he was doing…He’s not doing a wussy complaint. He’s doing a full-fledged exemplary headline-news tantrum. He’s reaming this fella out at great length and with extreme passion. Let’s recap: the internet video suggesting that Bale cannot divorce himself from the violent characters that he plays was trying to be funny. The reported story from the reputable news agency wasn’t.

He’s doing a full-fledged exemplary headline-news tantrum. He’s reaming this fella out at great length and with extreme passion. Let’s recap: the internet video suggesting that Bale cannot divorce himself from the violent characters that he plays was trying to be funny. The reported story from the reputable news agency wasn’t.

First, via FilmDrunk, a jokey video in which “Warner Brother Public Relations Rep Rob Delaney” (previously seen responding to this Harry Potter scandal) condones Bale’s “lesson in professionalism” by tying it to his method: “Christian Bale is a motherfucking tornado of pain and talent. Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, American Psycho. What do these films have in common? They’re all films where Christian Bale plays himself…” Then, this very long ABC News story, in which therapists, Bale’s former assistant, and an US Weekly editor all strenuously imply that Bale becomes so one with his characters that he was actually probably yelling at the DP in character as the Terminator. “The art of acting is not paint by numbers, it’s an art form,” reminds T4’s asisstant director.
