No, not a sequel to War of Worlds 2 but a World War 2 movie called “Valkyrie“. It’s based on the true story of military plot(Operation Valkyrie) to kill Hitler. Cruise will play Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg leader of the plot. It will be filmed in Germany in a key military location. It’s something that is not well known unless you watched many WWII movies.
P.S.

Those were some of the heroes that tried to do the right thing but paid with their lives.

I also found this:

Yesterday, I went to see 3 sequels. All the Hollywood stars were aligned and was able to see them in the same day without waiting 1 minute between them. It’s been a long time that I have been able to see 2+ English movies, 3 in this case, in the same day. I will go in the order that I saw them and I did checked my brain at the door(summer movies).
Live Free or Die Hard

So, I went to see 16 Blocks, oops! Die Hard 4. Hey! It’s a cop escorting a person from point A to point B part of the movie. Ok!, Ok! I’m still a big fan of the Die Hard series anyway. But, I had a problem believing Justin Long as a hacker. I have nothing against the guy but his Apple commercials did not help him win credibility for this role. I will let this one alone and say this a real popcorn action movie. John McClane(Bruce Willis) has many lives and so one of the henchman. I did not recognize Timothy Olyphant(THE bad guy) without his hat and mustache from Deadwood. I would say it’s equivalent to Die Hard 3.

Verdict: It should be seen at the theater even with Justin Long and a few quicks

Evan Almighty

It’s a comedy and sequel to Bruce Almighty with Morgan Freeman reprising the role of God and Steve Carell for the new disciple. They did a few winks to Carell previous movie. It’s a feel good movie with some typical themes like being good, family, corruption….

Verdict: It should be seen on DVD or TV

Ocean’s Thirteen

The gang is back, without any lady, for a revenge sting. Overall, it’s a so-so movie with a few laughs. I was looking at my watch more often on this one. Having many top stars does not warranty a must see movie at the theater.

Verdict: It should be seen on DVD or TV

P.S.
I debated on making 3 posts but 2 of them would not had warrant it.

Last year, Michel Lauzière made a rollerblade presentation for the David Letterman Show. It was a great thing for a local man. 8 months later, the car company Audi copied it but with a car, of course, and without paying for the rights.

“It maybe peanuts for them but it’s cashews for me” he said on TV tonight. Funny but he has a point.

Now, Audi should be fair and pay him and without the lawyers!

You be the judge:

You may have seen one or took one by mistake thinking it was the other “movie”. If you don’t know, The Asylum is a studio that make their own versions of the “big” movies of the year. They will put their own a spin on the story. Sometimes, they are not so bad. Those are direct to DVD movies that cost a lot less than their counterparts(1 or 2 millions to make).
Here are some examples of upcoming movies:

I Am Legend = I am Omega (pre-production)
Transformers = Transmorphers (June 26, 2007)
The Invasion = Invasion of the Pod People (July 24, 2007)
Alien vs. Predator: AVP2 = Aliens vs Hunters (pre-production)

Earlier movies:

The Hitcher = The Hitchhiker
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest = PIRATES OF TREASURE ISLAND
The Da Vinci Code = THE DA VINCI TREASURE
The Omen = 666: THE CHILD
War of the Worlds = H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds (with War of the Worlds: The Next Wave in pre-production)

Another upcoming movie on the 2012 theme by The Asylum studio. Not much more to say for now because it’s on pre-production.
