Mike's Movie Review: "Wanted" (2008)

Mike's Movie Review: "Wanted" (2008)

By Mike on June 30, 2008

Jason already did a very good review about the movie Wanted, which hit theaters on Friday. We don’t usually double-up on movie reviews, but since I’ve read the graphic novel that the film was based on, I wanted to weigh in a bit with how I felt it followed the original story. Continue →

The Friday Question – Morgan Freeman

The Friday Question – Morgan Freeman

By Mike on June 27, 2008

Wanted hits theaters today, and without really having seen any reviews for it, I’m still excited about checking it out. Whether it’s actually good or not, I’m positive the action sequences will be awesome. Whenever a movie comes out with an interesting cast, I like to pick one of the actors that has some film [...] Continue →

Watch the seven minute chase scene in "Wanted"

Watch the seven minute chase scene in "Wanted"

By Mike on June 16, 2008

I really have no idea if Wanted will turn out to be good or just completely suck, but everything I’ve seen so far at least points to the fact that it should at least be fun. Continue →

This newly released 7-minute clip of the chase scene that we’ve all seen glimpses of is pretty rockin’. The stunts and entire sequence is awesome, and if you can’t get into the mirror gun that Angelina Jolie pulls out of nowhere, then you just don’t like good action gadgets. Continue →

The foreign "Wanted" poster rocks

The foreign "Wanted" poster rocks

By Mike on June 11, 2008

I’m starting to come to the conclusion that we here in America get the bottom of the barrel when it comes to movie trailers and posters. It seems like the international versions have all the goods, be it a sexy preview that couldn’t make it past the MPAA over here, or posters that for some reason just LOOK better. Continue →

New trailer for "Wanted"

By Mike on June 5, 2008

Here is a brand new trailer for Wanted, the graphic novel turned movie starring James McAvoy and Angelina Jolie, which hits theaters on June 27th. Continue →

I read the graphic novel myself and reviewed it in May, and while I knew the movie couldn’t possibly follow the evil storyline, I had some hopes after recent interviews with the directors and writers. Continue →

Russian Red Band "Wanted" Trailer Rocks!

Russian Red Band "Wanted" Trailer Rocks!

By Jason on May 23, 2008

Okay, so this is turning into a Wanted kind of day. This Russian trailer for the film was posted online earlier today. It’s not technically a Red Band trailer since it’s in Russian, but if it were in English it would certainly be a Red Band for some graphic violence. Continue →

Graphic Novel review: "Wanted"

Graphic Novel review: "Wanted"

By Mike on May 8, 2008

When I heard that the movie being released soon, Wanted, was taken from a graphic novel, I decided that I needed to read it. One of the reasons was that I’d heard from one of our readers, R.A. Porter, than he was worried about how different the movie would be compared to the original story. [...] Continue →
