A Cry to Movie Execs

So...I thought I'd post a few of my wanted movies, that most likely will never be done, but a man can dream.

-G.I. Joe: the Movie. It's a simple thought...the generation that grew up on the Real American Hero Animated TV show and movie is now in their 20's. I dare to say, It's time for it. They could get an amazing all-star cast(Brad Pitt, Samuel L. Jackson, Arnold) and with CGI, the Intro from the animated movie could turn into the greatest CGI shot in movie history. Problems, Cobra Commander's voice is dead, Sgt. Slaughter is out of shape and old, and so many characters to fill. Also...plot problems with resemblance to many movies, such as Star Wars. But still, the Joe cartoon still has an amazing fan base from the kids who grew up on it.

-The Lone Ranger. I grew up on the show and the radio show, as my grandfather listened to it when he was a child. The movie could easily be done with a cheap budget, and also could hit big, as it is an invoking storyline. A Texas Ranger is the only one to survive a bandit attack in a canyon, and dones a mask and calls himself "The Lone Ranger" to stand for the downtrouted. Jauquin Pheonix could be an amazing Lone Ranger, and Antonio Banderas could play Tonto. Problems, a good western hasn't been made in a LONG time, and the movie would have to be amazing to get any footing on a national scale.

-Lastly, a remake of the 1982 Disney movie Tron. This is almost a no-brainer in my opnion. 20 years ago, this movie was a phenomanon, and now, a remake, by tweeking the storyline a little bit to fit a more modern feel, and the ILM effects that we can produce, could spark Disney a great, non-animation film, like Pirates of the Caribbean. The premise of the MCP and the Game Grid are still ideas that would amaze and wow kids, and adults who were fans of the film at the time of the orginial release.

My Heart's a Battleground

I just finished a 25~ hour quick run-through of Kingdom Hearts II, and it has proven to be even better than the first, if that is possible.

Those who know me, know of my deep obsession of the Kingdom Hearts idea. The idea that the heart is to unpredictable for anyone to "study", or to learn the way a human acts. People in this world are so unique, and spuratic that no one can honestly predict anything.
The additional story line that Kingdom Hearts II brings to the KH universe is pretty rock solid, aside for being slightly confusing at the beginning, which was intended, I believe. Organization XIII proved to be a good investment in "Chains of Memories", and the role of Axel and Namine in it play big in KH2.
Battle System adds more to it with a new drive feature, a feature that Transforms Sora into a powerful diety for a short time, pending which friends are in battle at the time. Also, a Limit feature has been added. Limits are drive features of sorts for other characters. Donald, Goofy, and all the other characters you meet along the way have Limits. A reaction command, similiar to the one in God of War, has also been added, making the player concentrate even more to time things just right to save time.
The choice of worlds had it's peaks, but overall, I was slightly disappointed. The new worlds, such as Port Royal, Space Paranoids(Tron), Timeless River, Beast's Castle, Mulan's China, and the Pride Lands had everything going for them. However, some of the older worlds, mainly Agrabah and Atlantica should have been replaced. Halloween Town and Olympus Colosieum were great in this one as well, but, a KH3 apperence could be bad for them. Hollow Bastion was on the top of it's game in this one, having a nicer plot line then it had in even the first.
I enjoyed the score for the game, but it lacked the original music for my favorite World, that of the Lion King movie. The Pirates of the Caribbean music was amazingly cut to perfection and played perfectly for the battles. The theme song "Sanctuary", is amazingly good, or it might just be I'm a sucker for some good Japanese Pop on occasion.
Voices for characters, amazing. Haley Joel Osmond does Sora's voice again, and with the help of original voices for many Disney characters, the voices fit in perfectly. Some big names include Sean Astin as Hercules, Christopher Lee as DiZ, Zach Braff does Chicken Little, David Gallagher is Riku again, and Dan Castelleneta(Homer Simpson/Everyone on the Simpsons) does his Genie, as he did in the original Aladain.
As you see, this game is rockin' the suburbs, like Quiet Riot did, and I suggest you play it
