As great as that track is, I think the existing one fits the tone of the film better.  As I stated during my FB running commentary while I watched it, the classic rock tunes work better when restricted to the scenes at Tool's.  They're awesome to have around, but they imply that the film is less serious than it really is when they're all over the place.  Same goes for "The Boys Are Back In Town" that used to be over the end credits.  I get what Sly meant with that, but it just doesn't fit all that well.  I have no problems with the Erna track during the opening credits or the Shinedown one during the end credits.

That said, the Shinedown track was EXTREMELY out of place during the big fight sequence.  That's my only complaint about the new cut.

Boo!  Even though he doesn't pop up as often anymore, Kurt almost always brings his A-game no matter what he is in.  I can't wait to see him as the motorcycling art-thieving Crunch Calhoun!

I've been having Kurt withdrawal, so I'm glad that it appears we are now getting THREE new films from him this year....

Touchback - A football drama involving time travel(?!?!).  He's only a supporting role in this and it could go either way quality-wise.  Still, I'll give it a shot.

The Black Marks - Sounds like it could be fun!

Django Unchained - He's playing Leo DiCaprio's racist ranchhand henchman!  Even if the others don't turn out well, we all know this will get knocked out of the park!

He also originally had a supernatural thriller called Undying set for this year, but I don't know if it actually got made.  I'm guessing it never got off the ground.

Armored was pretty good as well.
 

Dangerman is coming to Australia? I will shower him with so much love,t he will have to kickbox my head off. Not to mention he's making a film with Bennett!

Set report of GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE.

Despite the negative feedback, i'll definitely watch this just to see Christopher Lambert back on the Big Screen.

HunterTarantino, No, I wasn't upset about MI: Ghost Protocol at all!

Fazer, I enjoy musicals.  Les Miserables is basically the original blueprint for...The Fugitive. It is set during the French Revolution. Jean ValJean-Hugh Jackman steals food while on parole, Inspector Javert-Russell Crowe gets wind of it and the chase is on.  Anne Hathaway is Hugh's ladylove as well!

Poster for Cage, John Cusack and yep, 50 Cent in FROZEN GROUND:

 

http://www.moviehole.net/201251293-london-insider-m-getting-a-makeover-for-skyfall

 

 

Here's the synopsis:

 

 

 

Cage is the State Trooper and Cusack is the serial killer. 50 Cent plays an Alaskan pimp named Clate Johnson. That's not me being witty.

 

Some Gary Daniels news from the same link posted above:

 

 

 

Daniels and Vernon Wells. I'm down.

 

Finally, Moviehole reports that Seagal's True Justice series is indeed getting a second season and it has "assumingly" been picked up by the Reelz channel for air:

 

http://www.moviehole.net/201251299-steven-seagals-true-justice-gets-a-second-season

Forgot about Frozen Ground.  Though the synopsis looks promising, the poster looks really lazy and Hudgens appears to be Cage's co-star.  She's no Amber Heard.

Daniels and Wells?  Sure, i'm interested.

What!! True Justice is being picked up after the aborted first season?  The DTV releases must've done great business.

If you see the movie, the best time to watch the trailer is in THE NEXT THREE DAYS after, because it spoils everything, but it's good enough that, while at the end of the year, I wouldn't say it's on THE A-TEAM of the year's releases, it's still pretty good. But that ending... that ending... it makes me want to unleash the WRATH OF THE TITANS on the filmmaker and make him eat BREAKFAST ON PLUTO while I send his NEXT OF KIN to the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Withdrawal?  You and me, both.  We don't see him enough anymore.  I even watched and enjoyed Dreamer recently, for crying out loud.

Found the Official Synopsis and Press Release of Steven Seagal's Maximum Conviction here.

To be released by Anchor Bay Films.

Wonder which of the female prisoners The Sensei will hook up with in this one?

A movie I'm curious about: in his DVD column, Harry raved about THE GUARD, a black comedy buddy cop movie starring Don Cheadle and Brendan Gleeson. How cool is that combo? I'll definitely be renting.

New Clips for SCORPION KING 3:BATTLE FOR REDEMPTION

Well gents, got some interesting personal news. Rene......IS GETTING MARRIED. It was officially confirmed by Vanessa earlier this afternoon after she booked the place where we're going to have it at. We've got a date set in March, and that's when I say goodbye to bachelorhood.

Now that in now way will prevent me from enjoying sweaty Jason Statham fighting with Scott Adkins in The Expendables 2, or other extremely heterosexual action movies, like Commando.

Rene there's still time to bail out and focus your efforts on landing Gina Carano.

Here's a clip of her beating someone up in HAYWIRE

Seems like there's a bit of Ocean's Elevenish music in there too.

For your consideration: have the reception at Big Lots. 3.99 DVDS for all the groomsmen/bridesmaids!

Seriously, congrats, my man.

Thanks, Wade! Thanks, Elvis!

Gina Carano can beat me up any day.

Congrats, Rene. Now you can get a Cinemax subscription to celebrate!

OOOOHHHHHH!!! That might make me beg Vanessa to finally get cable here. So I can drool over Rhona Mitra as a ruthless soldier named DALTON!

Has the first season been announced for video yet? I want to get that as soon as it comes out.

I forgot: don't let Franz Sanchez crash your wedding. Or to allow any PARTY CRASHERS like Stephen Lang.

Wait, that's totally okay.

Stephen Lang is always welcome!

Dario can stay away though. I can have a nice HONEYMMMMMOOOOOOOONNNNNN on my own.

Congratulations! Will you be having the reception at Buffalo Wild Wings?

I watched Don't Be Afraid of the Dark tonight and it was OK, but not nearly as scary as people made it out to be. And the ending was rather lame. Wouldn't Guy Pearce 

Thanks, Falcon!

I saw Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark as well. Some decent scares, but I agree that it wasn't frightening. The creatures reminded me of even more evil Gremlins. The opening sequence is pretty freaky I have to say. I'm just happy to have bought the Blu-ray to support the founder of this amazing website.

We're going low key, so the reception won't be at Buffalo Wild Wings, but I have to say, now that you mention it, I want to eat there!

Saw Despicable Me, Triumph Of The Will, and my Netflix disc for the week, Timecrimes, earlier. Despicable Me is still as funny as when I first saw it last year, Triumph Of The Will shows that the portrayal of Hitler in Inglourious Basterds was not that much of a parody, as he really did rant and flail his arms around. The same music that occurs during the book burning scene in Berlin in Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade plays during the movie as well.  Timecrimes was the best of the lot. I love time travel movies, and this one had a pretty good "fix" of everything, even though in the end, it doesn't really seem to have been entirely fixed. Still, I greatly enjoyed it.

Now I'm revisiting 13 Assassins on Blu-ray courtesy of Mr. Nick Nunziata. First time I saw it, I wasn't crazy over it, but seeing it this second time around, I'm liking it a lot more.

Yeah, he's loosely attached to a movie about the Waco incident, but I think it (like Undying) is still searching for financing.

This is the hugest news of the week as far as I am concerned!  Gonna steal and re-post in the STRIKE BACK thread!

GREAT NEWS, Rene!

I wish you the best. 2012 is looking to be a special year for all of us.

Just came back from The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2011).

Not a bad film, but if you've seen the Swedish films and read the book, this isn't essential viewing. Some minor changes to the plot, nothing that will surprise you. Julian Sands has a few silent scenes in the flashbacks though.

I have seen it and really enjoyed it.  It isn't the greatest thing ever made but Gleeson's un-PC intellectual is a brilliant character.  Cheadle is basically just reacting to him and other rural Irish types.  Mark Strong plays a Londoner who doesn't have a lot patience. 

Some great stuff, i'd give you some of Gleeson's best quotes, but i'd be spoiling some of the best scenes.

Congratulations.  Speaking for myself, I hated the getting married part but love being married.  Though, having kids and a wife really make it hard to sit through a film in one go.

I loved the shock of a completely naked woman appearing.  The never did really justify it.  Sleazy!!!

I really enjoyed it but I did feel they didn't make the most of it being the second attempt at the material.  They spent a lot more to acheive what the original did.  However, I hope to see the same people take on the sequels.  They weren't perfect and it'd be interesting to see if they could make more efficient thrillers and improve on them. 

Rene (Mr.Eko), Congratulations to you and the soon to be...Mrs. Eko...err...Rangel!  Also, when your family and friends throw rice, remind them use the...uncooked variety, or people will get...Steamed!

Rhona Mitra in STRIKE BACK is awesome news! Love to see one of my favourite gals still doing genre works.

I still remember her huge boobs in Christopher Lambert's BEOWULF.

Congratulations Rene!

I imagine YOUR FRIEND ROLANDO is best man?

In any case, I'm sure you can count on your B Action brethren to all be there in spirit.

Be sure to serve POPPYCOCK at the reception.

I especially liked this movie for the MAIN GUY combo of Mark Strong and Liam Cunningham. Strong is especially hilarious, since he clearly has contempt for pretty much everyone else in organized crime. Love that he hands a briefcase of cash to another goon, and the guy asks, "Is it all there?" Strong rolls his eyes and gives the most condescending long-winded reply.

It's more of a low-key comedy, but it ends in a weirdly intense shootout. It's really funny, though.

We're keeping the wedding low key, so I'm hoping that everything goes off without a hitch, and is just a fun time for all.

I agree that the bicycle girl's nudity was just there, because he saw her doing it in the beginning for no reason, then we find out the reason was his other self doing it. Sleazy indeed!

I was just thinking that over the other night. I may just end up having best men, as I'm friendly with one of her younger brothers as well.

We've done everything unconventional so far, so why not continue it?

It will be nice to know that all of you gents will be there in spirit.

And Bob, I was going to make a Cruising reference on facebook last night, but she didn't want me to do it last night. So I'm saving that gag for another day!

Congratulations on the engagement, Rene!

Thanks, Walker!

Kate Beckinsale talks TOTAL RECALL

Apparently her Lori is a more of a Richter henchman this time around.

Are they at least re-using the Jerry Goldsmith score at the beginning? If not, this fucking remake sounds like a disaster to me.

Strong has contempt for everyone he comes across in the film.  Love his line to the policeman.

Cranston is the only reason i'm interested in this (maybe the a-BIEL-ing Jessica, also).

I'll repeat what someone else said, was it really necessary to spend the alleged $200 million on this?

Oh man. In all seriousness you are far more clever than I am for coming up with such a paragraph.

I am glad to hear that movie is pretty good to great.

Congratulations! I'd say that you should invite Charlie Sheen, but on the way there in the Jeep he'd probably go crazy and jump out of the vehicle while it's on a bridge... but anyway, hopefully the reception has Pabst on tap and the wedding singer will be Hunter singing karaoke.

That is quite the trio of movies there. It sounds like a triple play that only you could come up with, and I mean that as a compliment.

Beaks in his Top 10 of 2011 on my favorite movie of the year ATTACK THE BLOCK:

"Joe Cornish's remarkably assured debut gained additional resonance after last summer's riots in England. The disenfranchisement, the eagerness to portray London's ethnic youths as mindless, hoodied miscreants... it all flooded out from the BBC, FOX News and pretty much any outlet that values easy villainization over a nuanced discussion of civil unrest. Cornish's sci-fi/horror/comedy hybrid - which finds a group of lower-class kids defending their housing development against an alien invasion - put the mainstream media to shame by allowing its criminal-minded characters to mature once they realize their misdeeds have brought home this extraterrestrial plague. These aren't bad kids; they just don't see the upshot to playing by society's rigged rules. ATTACK THE BLOCK is genre filmmaking at its finest: a fast-paced, cleverly structured yarn on the surface, and a socially conscious commentary on the uncertain future of the country underneath (punctuated by John Boyega's Moses dangling none-too-subtly from the Union Jack before being arrested)."

I saw a really interesting Australian film (they don't come around too often) called The Bank, it's more of a thriller about a mathematical genius Jim Doyle (David Wenham) who comes up with an idea to predict events through a mathematical program. He takes the idea to the CEO of Centabank Simon O'Reilly (Anthony LaPaglia, who instantly sees the potential and starts thinking big, also, he's a greedy asshole) who employs Doyle to make it a reality. As Doyle makes more and more progress with the idea, the film switches to the plight of a couple in rural Australia who applied for a loan through Centabank and got screwed leading to a tragedy (which I won't reveal but it's not pretty) and we see these two worlds collide. It's a pretty neat little thriller, I'm amazed it hasn't been remade with Alec Baldwin and Jeremy Renner.

Are you getting a lot of THE DEVIL INSIDE banners here at the CHUD site as well?

It's been getting some terrible reviews. One of the rare times i've seen a film get a "F" or 0/10.

In fact, i heard the film doesn't even have an ending. They give you a website link at the end to learn more.

I guess the world need's more exorcists, fuck college.

Firstly congratulations to Rene, I'm stoked for you brother.

Secondly happy birthday to Nicolas Cage!

dude hallenbeck, CAGEy...Nic, could even be a...BLAZEing Candle on his B'Day Cake, as he is the...Ghost Rider!

Too bad Ghost Rider 2 blows ass. Wasn't the whole point to make it darker. It's still PG-13!!!

Neveldine and Taylor have one good movie to their credit if you ask me and it rhymes with spank.

Not two good movies that rhyme with spank?

No comic book movie should be rated R.

In honor of his birthday, my all new Top 15 Nic Cage performances:

1. RAISING ARIZONA - a hilarious live action cartoon character; also he's surprisingly sweet

2. FACE/OFF - he and Travolta play off each other perfectly

3. WILD AT HEART -  Cage does Elvis

4. VAMPIRE'S KISS - the crown jewel of his method brilliance

5. VALLEY GIRL - he's just so cool in this

6. RED ROCK WEST

7. PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED - so offbeat strange in this, Kathleen Turner demanded he be fired. But he makes an asshole character endearing

8. ADAPTATION - double your Cage

9. KISS OF DEATH - the movie is a misfire, but Cage is manically brilliant

10. BIRDY - he had some of his teeth pulled to get the damaged look

11 LEAVING LAS VEGAS

12 THE ROCK - I hate the movie now, but Cage's earnest dork hero is great

13. MATCHSTICK MEN - his most underrated

14 BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL - a brilliant return to form

15 KICK-ASS - so funny

I thought the second simply tried too hard. It's as though they were in a "we're making a movie" zone whilst making Crank. Everything after that is is like "we're making whatever the fuck we want". Too slapdash.

You don't think Port of New Orleans is top 10? Damn.

Thanks, dude!

Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans and Kick-Ass were Cage's comeback films. They both showcased that his nutty persona is being honed and he's become a bankable version of Gary Busey. I did like Bangkok Dangerous quite a bit. Found that one to be surprisingly good.

Right now we're watching Warrior, and damn if this movie isn't AMAZING. I feel sort of bad that I didn't get to see it in the theater, because it would have definitely made my top 5. Vanessa is enjoying it a lot, and I figured she would.

Tom Hardy  brings the douchebaginess to his role as a man consumed with rage, and Nick Nolte seems to be a shoo-in for an Oscar nomination, because the man is in top acting form here. Count me in as a fan, even though some of the stuff is predictable, and I called it way before hand, like exactly how Tom Hardy "left" the Marines. So basically I'm with Hunter on this one. Funny coincidence that this movie and my other favorite sports movie, North Dallas Forty both star Nick Nolte.

I don't agree. Sin City, Watchmen, V For Vendetta and Kick Ass where fine the way they where. And my dream Sylvester Stallone/Garth Ennis/Walter Hill Punisher movie collaboration would be very, very R.

New Clips for Steven Soderberg's HAYWIRE.

It'll be opening here in Asia next week. Will be pleased to get some old fashioned Seagal type action in this one.

I'm still reeling in from the family film and Nazi combo.

I can't imagine what the Netflix people would think seeing customers with shit like this. "Why does this guy have Vice Squad and Bambi out at the same time?"

Well, in that case, they're both about homicidal maniacs.

The bachelor party has to be a double feature of The Rookie and Leviathan and the guys get lapdances for the duration, maybe a little more.

Holy shit, a Navy SEALS reference.

And yes, I'd be more than happy to offer one-man entertainment. I mean, come on, I do Living Colour!

Sadly it's not as good as the infamous "Blaze of Glory" one.

I hate the movie for taking my title for a movie about Michael Hutchence.

Wild at Heart is far and beyond my favorite Cage performance. Jesus, the opening scene of that movie.
