Clash of the Titans Kraken looks good ! Not sure about the soundtrack but it looks a fun watch anyway. Blessed as Zeus would have been better though. FACT.

and.... Robin Hood

..which I am stupidly excited over as I am a massive Robin Hood fanboy... *whistles Clannard for the rest of the day*..even though I'll be disappointed.

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

As a kid, I used to watch the old Robin Hood series with Richard Green. That's still the image I have in my head of the characters from the story all these years later.

I've got most of those on DVD.

Michael Praed IS Robin Hood. Fact, it's been proven by boffins with calculators and really big instruments and charts and stuff.

Or maybe Errol Flynn. Although Connery was good in "Robin and Marion"...

You know whats funny my mom still has that series on VHS, back in IL. I remember watching that series, their was also another great one that I believe came from the BBC but it's been a very long time, and I don't really remember it too well.

As for Mr. Costner I have to say next to dances with wolves that was his best performance, although Mr. Brooks was pretty damn good to.

Listen, my children, as I pass onto you the truth behind Willy Wonka and his factory. For every wonka bar ever created in existance, Mr. Wonka sacraficed a single Oompa Loompa to the god of chocolate, Hearshys. Then, he drank the blood of the fallen orange men because he fed them a constant supply of sugary chocolate so they all became diabetic and had creamy, sweet-tasting blood that willy could put into each and every Wonka bar. That is the REAL story behind willy wonka's Slaughter House!

You know, I usually turn my nose up at CGI fests, but for some reason this looks great fun. Kraken is indeed pretty good.

If you don't go from the south coast to Nottingham via Bawtry you have failed as a Robin Hood. Geography is for pussies.

Clash of the Titans was the last great Harryhausen film. My expectations are high. I even liked this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWKH9FWQRjQ

Hmm not sure on Robin Hood, I have to agree with a fella on a trailer site who said it seems to be trying too hard to be Gladiator 2.


Although Clash of the Titans does indeed look very interesting, and one I may have to try and get to see at the big screen.

I must admit althought on a slight tangent, with each big 'Legendary Pictures' film I am seeing over the past couple of years, could the World of Warcraft movie actually turn out pretty good?

The Richard Greene Robin Hood series site:

I always loved the trumpet at the start of the show when he was getting ready to fire off the arrow. The site points out some parrallels to events in the 50's to what was written into the plots of the episodes. Interesting reading.

There was another series that showed right after that called "The King's Outlaw" about a French outlaw fighting the English in France during the 100 years war. His weapon was a sling. It was also pretty well done for the time.
