Andy Serkis staring Rise of the Planet of the Apes got mostly positive critics

The 2011 American sci-fi film, Rise of the Planet of the Apes (originally titled Caesar and Rise of the Apes), has been theatrical released on August 5^th in North America. The film is directed by Rupert Wyatt and stars Andy Serkis and James Franco. It is a reboot of the Planet of the Apes series that will act as a foundation with an origin story for a new film series. Its premise is similar to the fourth film in the original series Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972), but it is not a direct remake in that it does not fit into that series’ continuity.

Most movie fans might have not added the “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” to their summer movie must-see list, but all of a sudden, the little-monkey-movie-that-could is emerging from out of nowhere as one of the heat season’s biggest surprises for movie fans. On rottentomatoes.com, this movie gets 80% of Fresh rate and 87% audience liked it with an average rating of 4.1 out of 5 stars. And thanks to Andy Serkis, who stars Caesor, also starring in “Lord of the Rings” and “King Kong“, we could watch the excellent performance of Apes in the movie.

There have been quite a few movie reviews about this new movie. The Times’ Kenneth Turan praised this movie “smart, fun and thoroughly enjoyable, it’s a model summer diversion that entertains without insulting your intelligence.” The New York Times’ Manohla Dargis points out in her positive review that “Engineered to entertain, ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’ may be awkwardly named, but almost everything else about it is generally easygoing, including the inevitable climactic action and the human and digitally assisted performances.”

Of course, there are also some negative reviews and opinions upon this movie. Whatever, “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” indeed proves to be a big summer blockbuster to get great popularity. If you still have no choice to watch this movie in theater, you can check the following YouTube trailers of Rise of the Planet of Apes.

Nicolas Cage still has his age – Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance movie stage photo leaked

The Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, also known as Ghost Rider 2, revealed the movie stage photos. From the stage photo, we could see the Johnny Blaze and Idris Elba before and after transformation, yet still not confirmed which role Nicolas Cage will star. In the first Ghost Rider, Nicolas Cage starred the mixture role of hero and villain. And in the Ghost Rider 2, he will indeed star two roles: the leading role Johnny Blaze and transformed ghost rider. Cage is proving that he still has his age and could bring us fans a fantastic movie show.

The Ghost Rider 2 is named as Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, which indicates the story that the ancestor of Johnny Blaze, Norbert Kyle, made a deal with devil Mephisto. The deal empowered Norbert Kyle power to defeat unjustified evil force to prevent Kyle family from damage. When the Kyle family meets danger, they could summon the spirit of Norbert Kyle to defeat their enemy.

Maybe because of the poor performance of the Ghost Rider, the movie abandoned Mark Steven Johnson, but invited Brian Tyler and Mark Neveldine as directors. The Ghost Rider 2 costs $75 million, far less than the Ghost Rider. The two directors said that even with low budget, they could film a very good movie. Cage also promised that the Ghost Rider 2 would include less fairy tale or western movie elements, but come with more international elements to excite movie fans to make it more popular.

The Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance will be theatrical released on February 17^th in 2012, in both 2D and 3D. Besides Sony, the Hyde Park Entertainment also investigated in this movie as Sony currently has too many movies to film. Cage has got great concern in this movie, just like his other recent movies like Season of the Witch, which has been available on Blu-ray and DVD for home entertainment now.

With his and his family’s lives at stake, Latif must surrender his former self forever as he learns to walk, talk and act like Uday.

Two more films Johnny Depp contracted with Disney – The Night Stalker and Midnight Ride in Paul Revere story

Ever since the Pirates of the Caribbean series, Walt Disney Studios seems to try its best to hold cooperation relationship with the Captain Jack, Johnny Depp. It has been confirmed that Walt Disney Studios and Johnny Depp’s Infinitum Nihil have contracted two more movies for Johnny Depp as the leading role. One is the silver screen adaption of 70s movie “The Night Stalker“, while the other is the movie “Midnight Ride” which reflects the Paul Revere story during the War of Independence of America.

The Night Stalker tells about a tabloid journalist Carl Kolchak (most possibly starring Johnny Depp) who tracks a serial killer. This serial killer always kills strippers in Las Vegas. This TV movie was expended to be a series of TV set later. And the targets who Carl Kolchak keeps tracking are extended to supernatural things like vampires, living dead corpses, werewolves, aliens, etc.

Paul Revere was a famous hero and patriot during the American Revolution. He is a silversmith in Bostonian and patriot in the American Revolution. He is most famous for alerting Colonial militia of British invasion before the battles of Lexington and Concord by a continuous midnight ride. This Disney movie, Midnight Ride, is based on this story and the whole time span of this movie is defined within 24 hours.

Of course, that doesn’t mean Johnny Depp will not star characters of other film companies. The ongoing Dark Shadows directed by Tim Burton belongs to Warner Bros, while The Rum Diary to be released in theater on October 28^th this year is cooperated with GK Film. Also, Johnny Depp would make a guest appearance in Martin Scorsese‘s Hugo 3D, to be theater released on November 23th by Paramount. The director of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Julian Schnabel reveals that there might be the movie In the Hand of Dante in the future, yet not confirmed.

Anyway, Depp and Disney are a profitable team. Their most recent collaboration, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” and the 2010 “Alice in Wonderland” have been greatly popular among the world, especially its Pirates of the Caribbean series. These classic movies have now been on Blu-ray and DVD for better home theatre enjoyment.
