Reggy's Review Galore!:
Hi guys, it's a bit of a slow news week but I've got some new reviews to help you make it through the day. Thanks to my holiday

Anyway, click on the movie titles to check out the following reviews; Steve Carell in The 40-Year Old Virgin, Jason Statham rules in Transporter 2 and
Laura Linney in The Exorcism of Emily Rose!
I'll be back this weekend with a new update.

Tarantino spills the beans!:
Quentin Tarantino talked about his Grind House double feature which he'll direct with his buddy Robert Rodriguez. Both directors will make
one old school horror flick which will be released together as Grind House. The directors will also create
phony trailers that will play in between the films! Tarantino explains:
"His movie is called 'Planet Terror' and mine is called 'Death Proof'. Mine is sort of a slasher film, but instead of a knife, it's a car. ... His, he's dealing with zombies and all that stuff. I think his might end up being more violent, but I'm not finished with my script yet, so you never know.
That's one of the things we're looking the most forward to, shooting the phony trailers that will play in between the movies. I'm working out my blaxploitation trailer, and possibly a kung-fu trailer, a sexploitation trailer, a spaghetti-western trailer. I just need to kind of work them out a little bit. I'm just getting them down there, but I think for sure I'm going to do the sexploitation trailer, which is called 'Cowgirls in Sweden'."
Tarantino also gives a status of his WWII epic Inglorious Bastards:
"Inglorious Bastards will probably be the next thing I do after I finish Grind House. That will be my next big Mount Everest, climb-the-mountain kind of project.
I've got a big portion of it done. I've been waiting for all the Kill Bill stuff to be over with, and then to maybe chill on it a little bit, and then get ready to finish writing it. I have like five years of writing behind me now, and I just need to add one more year to it."
Michael Madsen will probably star in the flick but Tarantino confirms that the casting of Schwarzenegger and Stallone are rumors and complete speculation.

Mike Newell talks Harry Potter 4:
Tough job for direcor Mike Newell, he had to squeeze 700 pages into a two-hour film but looks like he did it. The director
stripped out everything that didn't directly support the story of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and
envisioned the screen adaptation of the book as a thriller:
"The first question that I asked myself was, 'Can I find a spine in this thing, which will allow me to tell the story of this book in a single film? And I found for my own satisfaction a very good way of pulling everything together, and it was that the thing is a thriller. And the thriller is that Voldemort, the creature of ultimate evil, is now feeling his power again, and he needs to reform himself. He needs to get his body back. And the only way that he can do that is to subject himself to a particular potion, which, in order to be effective, needs three drops of Harry's blood. And so this whole year is set up by Voldemort as a way of getting the boy sufficiently in his power."

Serenity sequels?:
The film version of Joss Whedon's Firefly TV series hasn't hit the cinemas yet but the director is already
talking about Serenity sequels:
"It's very sweet to mention the word sequel, obviously that's the way my brain works. It continues to tell stories. ... So it's inevitable for me that I do that, and of course I love this universe. I love these people, and I would jump at the chance to do it again. But I couldn't think about that while I was making it, because, ultimately, you have to make the first one. ... It's a trilogy if you make two that are so good there's a third. ... Now that I've finished it, ... I think about it all the time.
It's a question of opening it up, and it's a question of closing it down. You know, opening it up in the sense of: We need a giant, epic story that is not the kind of thing these people usually get involved in in a TV series, which is more mundane. You need a reason for this to be a movie. ... The closing comes in making sure that it is accessible to everybody: that you explain everybody as much as you need to, that you explain the world as much as you need to, that you begin and you end, that you have an arc for the character, as well as a plot that has a question and then an answer."
