| Blu-ray Review: Highlander (Director’s Cut) Posted: 14 Nov 2010 03:32 PM PST  Highlander Director's Cut Blu-ray Edition Directed by Russell Mulcahy Starring Christopher Lambert, Clancy Brown, Sean Connery, Roxanne Hart Lionsgate Home Entertainment Release Date: November 2, 2010 There can only be one. Even if you've never seen Highlander, chances are you've heard that phrase uttered countless times. It's the battle cry of the sword-wielding Immortals in the 1986 fantasy-action film, starring Christopher Lambert. Lambert appears as Connor MacLeod, a young Scotsman in the year 1536 who one day meets his fate on the battlefield at the hands of the Kurgan (Clancy Brown), a massive Slavic warrior out to slice Connor's head from his neck. When Connor seemingly comes back to life after dying from his battle wounds, his superstitious clan banishes him, leaving him to build a new life for himself elsewhere. Five years later, a mysterious man named Ramirez (Sean Connery) seeks out Connor to become his mentor, explaining that they are of a group of Immortals who will eventually meet for The Gathering, where they will fight each other for The Prize until only one survives. We learn about Connor's early life through flashbacks, as the immortal now lives in present day (1985) New York City as antiques dealer Russell Nash, who's currently being investigated by police after they catch him fleeing the scene where a man was found decapitated. Between dealing with the police and the probing questions from their overly curious forensics expert Brenda (Roxanne Hart), Connor also begins to feel the pull for The Gathering, which includes having to fight his old enemy The Kurgan, who's wreaking havoc across the city in his quest to find and fight Connor [...]      |
| Director Darren Aronofsky Shares ‘Wolverine 2′ Title; Turns Sequel Into Sneaky Reboot Posted: 14 Nov 2010 02:16 PM PST  The somewhat anticipated sequel to 2009's X-Men spinoff movie, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, is becoming more and more worth your anticipation as time moves forward. From strictly a movie fan's perspective, Wolverine was all right as an action/superhero flick, but when you have the name Wolverine in your title, a certain level of expectation exists, and comic book fans everywhere were outraged at some of the "minor" adjustments that were made to the mythos. Because of this, said sequel was never a very exciting prospect...not until recently. In October we found out that one of the more unlikely candidates to direct the movie, Darren Aronofsky, was in fact signing on for the job. Aronofsky has previously directed Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain, The Wrestler, and the upcoming Black Swan, so his involvement in a Marvel comic book movie was a bit strange and unexpected but exciting at the same time. If Aronofsky's involvement wasn't enough to pique your interest a bit, perhaps this might. [...]      |
