| Movie Review: Fantastic Four and the Rise of the Silver Surfer | | 2008-04-13 11:30:00 | | I'm not a fan of Fantastic Four and never was. I saw the first movie on TV many years after it had already gone through theaters and made its run on DVD. The first film was, in a lot of ways, a poor excuse for a superhero movie and when I found out they were making a second, and saw the pictures of the Silver Surfer, I was prepared for ultimate suckage.Having said that, I can now say I was at least partially proven wrong on this film. Fantastic Four 2 is loads better than the first film. Where the first film failed, this one got it right. There is actually a progressive plot. The characters actually go from not doing a whole lot, to doing a little bit, to a bit more, and finally to the climax. The first film failed entirely on this point with the confrontation with Dr. Doom happening all the way at the end and the only other confrontations being personal ones between the characters. The writers for part two changed that so the confrontations between the characters happen alongs | | By: The World in the Satin Bag | | |
| | The Fantastic Four - New to LGBT Blog List | | 2008-04-09 05:53:47 | | I would like to introduce you to Staggo Lee , a Gay Bipolar Guy. I knew little about mental illness, having only ever been diagnosed with mild depression a few years back, an episode that I was fortunate enough to overcome. But for many the road to recovery is laden with obstacles and can appear endless. For many it is a lifetime illness. What does it mean to Staggo? How does he cope? These answers and (I am sure) many other's you will find by reading his personal journey. It is quite remarkable what we as people can digest into our livelihood and survive. Staggo was kind enough to offer three more blogs to be listed here, each one significant and impressive reading. All three blog pals have been long time enthusiasts of Staggo's journey and as much as they enjoy his thoughts, they too are a delight for Staggo. He personally recommends them and is overly appreciative of their continued readership.Boy Grows Up - Personal insight of a former Meth Addict, living with Bipolar.

| Pamela Anderson Shows Off Cleavage As Jessica Alba in Fantastic Four spoof | | 2008-03-01 01:05:20 | | pamela anderson revealed more than just her acting talents on the set of her new movie. The former Baywatch star donned a skin-tight blue suit for her role as the Invisible Woman in the spoof of the box office hit Fantastic Four starring Jessica Alba. Pamela Anderson, 40, takes on Jessica's character but by the looks of things, it appears Pamela's assets may be hard to hide - even with special superhero powers. The actress is no stranger to flaunting her figure as she recently took to the stage in Paris to perform a one-off show which saw her riding a a black motorcycle dressed in nothing but a body stocking, charging £150 per ticket. The show, which took place at the notorious Crazy Horse, also featured Pamela dancing to Brigitte Bardot's hit song "Harley Davidson", according to a People.com report.SUBSCRIBE TO THIS SITE :::: U WILL GET NOTIFICATIONS OF LATEST UPDATES ON THIS SITE | | By: HOTTEST CELEBRITY BIKINI PICTURES AND OTHER HQ PIC | | |

It was only a matter of time before someone came up with a Silver Surfer movie, but since his first appearance was in the Fantastic Four comics, they couldn’t make him the main star. That’s probably why he doesn’t truly shine in Rise of the Silver Surfer, because he’s not the main dish.Most Marvel fans know that the Silver Surfer travels the universe looking for yummy planets for his master, Galactus, to d | | By: Up+Start | | |

The quality of the Fantastic Four franchise (and I hope it’s a franchise, not a duet) is apparently on an exponential growth curve. Rise of the Silver Surfer is, with one exception (Jessica Alba’s straining superpower face is bad), as good as a superhero movie about saving the world while wedding planning could be. It’s a delight, mostly because the first act spends more time having fun with the characters--all four of the main characters, unlike before, turn in great performances. The chemistry is down in this one; without the need to establish anything, it’s just a fun, hanging out time for a half hour. (Again, the “hang out” film being Quentin Tarantino’s term). Then the action starts and... well, apparently Fox threw a bunch of money at Silver Surfer because the action sequences are great... not to mention Tim Story being able to handle them a lot better.
With the movie centering around Alba and Ioan Gruffudd’s wedding, it’s important for Alba to turn in a good performance, instead of an acceptable one. Immediately, she does, but so does Gruffudd. Silver Surfer, for the Fantastic Four, opens in an airport with a family comedy scene... and it sets the tone for the film and indicates the cast is now comfortable in their roles (Gruffudd being the most marked improvement, ably juggling the super-nerd moments with the Alba’s husband-to-be moments).
Somehow, Silver Surfer manages to escape infusing its cartoon set-pieces--whether it’s the chase along the Great Wall or Chris Evans having all four of the Fantastic Four’s powers--with adolescent simplicity. It’s a neat trick--a combination of the performances and those expensive special effects, which integrate really well. Since the performances and the character relationships work so well--perfectly even--everything else falls in to line. The ludicrous things going on--the Silver Surfer being a shiny guy on a flying surfboard and all--fit thanks to Story’s handling of the film’s reality. It’s a familiar reality, one with jokes about coach and a sister running through crowded New York streets to aid her brother, but it’s... oh damn it. It’s a fantastical one too....
Of the cast additions, only Beau Garrett is bad. Andre Braugher is wasted, but he’s not bad (in fact, he’s playing a bad guy, so there’s really no potential--a dumb, torturing U.S. Army general). As the Silver Surfer, Doug Jones and Laurence Fishburne do a great job. The combination of Jones’s movements and Fishburne’s vocal performance make the character alien, human and real. It’s something of an achievement, certainly not one I was expecting after the first film.
As usual, Evans is great. Michael Chiklis is either more comfortable under all the makeup as the Thing or writing is just better. Ditto with Kerry Washington, who literally has nothing to do but hang out and she does well at it. Julian McMahon’s a little bit of a disappointment, though he has a couple good moments... most of his scenes are in full makeup and they’re action scenes, so it’s not really his fault. His inclusion in the film is the most contrived and it left me wondering why the producers felt they needed Dr. Doom at all.
I rarely, anymore, hope for sequels, both because I prefer finite filmic narratives and also because there’s almost never anything worth a sequel. But I hope there’s another Fantastic Four, just because Gruffudd, Alba, Evans and Chiklis have created people I want to spend more time around.

| | Fantastic Four. Tim Story. | | 2007-06-22 15:06:45 | |
I watched Fantastic Four for a number of reasons (really). First, because I liked one of the previews to the second one. Second, there is a recently released on DVD extended cut. Third, I wanted to compare and contrast it to the unreleased 1994 version. Fourth, to give movielens a run for its money (it's currently predicted at 11⁄2, which is whopping in my opinion). Fifth, as the film's so hated by comic book fans, I figured--as usual--my response would be somewhat opposite. Finally, because a friend of mine was recommending “The Stop Button” as a perceptive and effective online film review site and navigated to it and found a review of Ghost Rider, mortifying him. I figured Fantastic Four would be even worse... but, really, it's quite the reverse.
I've had the extended cut for a few days and have been dreading watching it, as I assumed I'd just turn it off after fifteen or twenty minutes (on the outside). I even started it and the first scene--not the rather nice opening | | By: The Stop Button | | |

Hehe, congratulation ya bro. Jaga jangan sampai lepas, she is the right person, and hopefully the best. I'm praying for you of course.Anyway, these are some of my reviews. I watched Fantastic Four 2 yesterday, and I watched Ocean's 13 just now (4 hours ago).Movie Review Ocean's 13 :- Gue lebih suka yang Eleven bro. 11 is still the best dibandingin 12 or 13.- Glamor abis nih film. All about rich people. Tapi detailnya nih film bagus banget. Cerita dan trik bolehlah. And seluruh pemain oke punya, but my fave is always Brad Pitt :p (but Al Pacino is the best, of course lah yauw).- Adegan Matt Damon mencumbui si Ellen Barkin kok aneh ya? Rada2 gak masuk akal malah.- Loh kok ada mesin pembor segede gajah itu bisa masuk ke bawah hotel tanpa ada yang tahu? Grrrrrr.......- Kok enak sih jadi penjahat?

| | | Fantastic Four 2: Rise Of The Silver Surfer - Trailer | | 2007-06-08 20:15:58 | | It’s been more than a year since Fantastic Four came out. And now this year, it’s Fantastic Four 2: Rise Of The Silver Surfer. The second trailer is out. Except Jessica Alba, everyone is looking good. Jessica is really looking weird. She was a lot better in the first one. Overall, the movie looks better than the first one. Only time will tell this. We can only hope for the best, because I hope they don’t mess up two times in a row.
Watch the trailer below, and tell what do you think about the movie.
Did you guys see someone on the cliff at 46th second? Was that Dr. Doom?

| | Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer Trailer 2 | | 2007-06-02 06:55:00 | | Here is a new trailer for fantastic four 2. They made it funny but this seem to be as or even more boring then the last one. I did not think this would have been that good. I don't understand why people keep making these types of movies. I can't wait to see this one as much as I want to see Ghost Rider 2 or remember the Punisher. | | By: Cool Looking Stuff | | |
