Well boys and girls, the semester is upon us, and sadly I must discontinue The Movie News That Matters, but I will leave you with one last piece of info.
The best movie of last year was not "The Hurt Locker", or even the wildly popular "Avatar", It was not the heart turning "Precious" or the intellectual "District 9." No people the best movie of the year by far was . . . . .
INGLORIOUS BASTERDS!
How the academy could snub Tarantino again is beyond me, is it because their was a women, a blockbuster, and an Indie film staring African-Americans all running against it. The answer is all of the above.
"Basterds" was intellectual, cimematographicly perfect, and above all, well acted by all. you felt as if you were watching the story unflod before your eyes no matter how long the dialogue ran on. It was visually beautiful and sounded as if you were in France in 1942.
The Academy is political and always will be, do not let them fool you into thinking what they tell you is correct, because history as taught they are not always right, and seldom will they be. Seek out little watched movies, and Indie films. Find little known actors and follow them, I promise you that you will see once in a lifetime performances and much better stories than you will have ever expected.
On that note everyone have a great summer and be safe.
Yours truly! The One, The Only! CMFK

Big News Again from Superheroville!
So, admittedly I am a nerd. And this is turning into a superhero clog fast, but I could not miss passing along this information to you guys, Make sure you stay after the credits for Iron Man 2:
Marvel’s grand plan to connect their superhero franchises together may start moving at a full-tilt sooner than expected. Remember that after the credits scene in the first Iron Man in which Sam Jackson showed up as Nick Fury to tease the possibility of a superhero team-up? Word is Marvel may have something similar in mind for Iron Man 2, only this time the character cameos will be Thor and Captain America.
The rumor comes from Italian site Bad Taste where they say Captain America and Thor will show up in Iron Man 2 after credits and it may also be the first time the “Avengers” are referenced by name in a Marvel film. We already know from the Iron Man 2 trailers that Sam Jackson’s Nick Fury plays a prominent role in the sequel, and Fury should be at least partially responsible for putting the Avengers team together. Maybe he’s even roped Tony Stark into recruiting, resulting in an after the credits scene in which Stark tries to hire Captain America and Thor for Fury’s superhero team-up,,. but that's just a theory.
Chronologically, this seems kind of confusing. If the events in Iron Man 2 happen before the events of the upcoming Thor movie, then it wouldn’t make sense for Tony Stark to talk about an Avengers team-up with a character who hasn’t had his origin story yet. Thor should be nobody to Tony, at least not until after the Thor movie (due to be released in 2011). This could be solved by setting the events in Iron Man 2 after those in Thor. Just because the movie’s coming out first doesn’t mean the timeline has to work linearly, of course. Except a few weeks ago everyone seemed pretty certain that this scene from Iron Man 2 contained a cameo from Thor, a Thor before he became the superhero he’ll become.
All the pieces aren’t quite fitting together here but one thing’s for certain: I’ll be sticking around after the Iron Man 2 credits.
Big New From Superheroville! !
While I'm not excited as of right now for Chris Evans to be playing the beloved Captain America, he is. So I'll keep an open mind, I just believe once you are a super hero in any movie, Evans is the Flame, you should be only that character, forever. Here is Joe Johnston explaining his pick:
Presumably Joe Johnston is losing his mind in preparation to start filming First Avenger: Captain America, now that he's actually managed to bring Chris Evans on board to play the title role. So it's beyond me how Ed Gross, of the fansite Earth's Mightiest, managed to snag an interview with the guy, but it happened, and he's not just explaining how they brought Evans on board, but how they'll portray him both as "98-pound weakling Steve Rogers" and the bulky and heroic Cap.
"I can't divulge how we're going to do it, but the performance will be Chris Evans from beginning to end. An actor playing Captain America has to embody that backstory and let it inform his understanding of his new self."
As for casting Evans, it pretty much happened exactly as we guessed-- he wasn't part of that drawn-out casting process at all, but was brought in based on his previous work:
Chris didn't audition at all. I was already familiar with everything he'd done and was championing his cause, not that I had a fight from the Marvel team. They were fans of his as well. He came in to the art department to say hi, saw all the jaw-dropping art and designs on the wall and reacted the way I'd hoped he would. It was really his wonderful enthusiasm for everything he saw that cinched the deal. We have some of the best designers and illustrators in the industry working for us and the art is just incredible to wander through. He will bring the perfect balance of dramatic performance and physicality to the role.
What's most interesting about this article isn't his gushing over Chris Evans-- that's generally what you do when a movie star signs on to your superhero movie-- but his promise that Evans will play Cap through all his iterations, and that they "can't divulge" how it will happen. Given recent news that the Green Lantern's costume may be entirely CGI, pretty much anything seems possible. Are we going to see some Benjamin Button technology to digitally add and remove rippling pecs from Evans' body?
Anyone else still confused?

Who here isn't excited! ? ! ?
This movie is sure to be the big summer blockbuster! I know I'll be in line at midnight, anyone with me? Here are some new images for Iron Man 2, due out May fifth.
OOPS!
Due to a clerical error on my part I have been posting my blogs on my last semester blog page. Sorry all.
So here comes the copy and pasting.
But first let me tell you the movie that I disliked the most this year.
And that movie is "Alice in Wonderland", that's right, everyones beloved Tim Burton and Johny Depp ruin another American classic. I personally believe they should not be able to make another movie together, especially a remake. But such is such, while it was visually impressive, I was in no way shape or for impressed by anything other than that. The story was shallow, and the acting as well. But of course, it made hundreds of millions of dollars.
And that is that.
Yours truly Chris King.

Freaking Awsomeness
I feel as if this news is to amazing to not inform all of you about, just follow the link:
http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Admiral-Ackbar-May-Be-The-New-Ole-Miss-Mascot-17242.html
Also, tonight is Alice in Wonderland midnight movie. Let's see if Depp and Burton can butcher another American classic. Check back tomorrow for more details.
One last piece of information, it is about time that the Academy Awards recognize a sci-fi film again. This has not been done since Star Wars in the '70's, but they snubbed it's bigger-better brother The Empire Strikes Back was snubbed all together. But this year they finally pulled it out and put District 9 into the mix.
For anyone who did not see District 9, this film broke down the genre barrier for an action/sci-fi film and was shot in a truly unique way for this unique story. The acting is above average, and it is a believable story that brings back memories of aparthide in South Africa.
This movie is certainly a dark horse in the best picture category, but it is one step closer to recognizing a film genre that has been missing from the academy for thirty years.

Chris King's Amazing Movie Picks!
If you have not seen them, there are three movies every person should be forced to watch.
1. Gran Torino
2. The Wrestler
3. In The Mood For Love
These are the absolute best pieces of film I can muster up this week, the acting is a little rough in Gran Torino, but Clint Eastwood's performance alone makes it worth it by far.

NEWS ! ! ! And a small recommendation.
Few breaking news items this week.
Zachary Quinto will not be playing Spock for at least a couple more years, this effectively halts the production of Star Trek: The Next. Which has a release date already. Truly unfortunate.
Also, "Thor" and "The Green Lantern" began principal photography this week. Bringing us one step closer the "Avengers" Film.
And now for the recommendation. Anyone who has not seen "Brick" should probably take the time to do so. It was a Sundance film several years ago, and is an updated take on a film noir. It has a few familiar faces in it such as Joseph Gordon Levitt and Lukas Haas. It is a fantastic story and fairly raw, classic film in my opinion.
