Those that look good for me. Not a big fan of star trek and harry potter.

 

Whats 'up' about ? Not heard about it :( ? IB is my most anticipated after T2:ROTF, Tarantino FTW !

 

Up is a new Pixar movie.

 

Also from what I've read about Star Trek so far, it's a movie for everyone. Not strictly for Trekkies.

 

Anyone seen "The Spirit".

 

I caught the promos and liked the style. Not sure if Frank Miller is a credible director, though.

 

I'm thinking of picking up the Blu Ray.

 

The Spirit got thrashed badly by fans and critics alike, so I never bothered checking it out. Apparently Frank Miller has unnecessarily slapped the Sin City style on this movie. The actual comic is quite different and is drawn in bright colours.

Don't bother. It's a very dumb movie, considering Miller's previous films. If you really want to watch it, rent it on DVD may be. Don't spend a single penny on the high definition version. It's not worth it.

Karan Johar in $150,000 lawsuit in US

Thu, May 14 09:28 AM

 

Washington, May 14 (IANS) Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar's Dharma Productions has been slapped with a $150,000 lawsuit in Philadelphia for allegedly failing to pay hundreds of local actors and vendors for a movie filmed in the state last autumn.

 

The lawsuit cites breach of contract by Dharma Productions and its partner Swish Films of Melbourne for the production of its thriller 'Jihaad' or 'KP-15', the Philadelphia Daily News reported citing court documents.

 

The lawsuit seeks in excess of $150,000 for unpaid services and expenses for 25 of the vendors hired for the film starring Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor.

 

It also requests a restraining order that would prevent representatives of Dharma - which changed its name to Karma Films while it continued to shoot 'Jihaad' in New York City last month through Sunday - from leaving the US with its assets, primarily the footage already shot in New York, according to the lawsuit.

 

The filmed scenes are the only assets under US jurisdiction and thus would 'preserve the status quo and restore the parties to the last peaceful, uncontested status which preceded the controversy', the daily said in an online report citing the lawsuit.

 

Dharma initially hired Swish to supervise production of the feature last autumn. The dispute began when a Swish producer sent out cheques in late December, warning actors, vendors and crew members to wait until after Jan 9 to cash them. The cheques bounced anyway, leaving more than $500,000 in unpaid bills.

 

Dharma has since offered certain workers half the amount they are owed in return for signing a waiver that nullifies any legal action against the company, the report said.

 

In other cases, Dharma paid the full amount owed, including to the City of Philadelphia and Teamsters Local 107.

 

Dharma and Swish will be hit with more litigation this week, the newspaper reported citing Center City lawyer Michael H. Rosenthal, who said he will file a suit on behalf of 60 actors and independent contractors.

Brother... it would have been a good performance if they decided to make a totally different supervillain. You simply can't do what Nicholson did to the Joker.

 

As far as movies not being dark back then... Blade Runner says hello :huh:

havn't read the comics... so can't comment on joker being different... also havn't seen blade runner :D

yup he is an awesome director batman & batman returns were both excellent

In other news, I sae Leon again after quite some time. Made me realize again how awesome the movie is.

Simply great. Oldman and Reno are papas as usual in their roles. But special credit goes to Portman.. she was amazing in her acting. So poignant, the movie is.
