This action/adventure flick from MGM opened this weekend on April 22. Starring James Caviezel (Passion of the Christ), Madison is based on a true story “of a dying river town in Indiana, which in 1971 succeeded in becoming the host for the Gold Cup of hydroplane boat racing. Competing on the racing circuit requires deep-pocketed sponsorships and top-of-the-line technology and equipment.”

Mr. and Mrs. Smith: Posters are hard to come by for this blockbuster but we’ve got them in stock now. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt star as secret paid assassins who are married to each other, and each is contracted to kill the other. Rumors have been flying for months that sparks flew between the two stars during production, and this led to the ultimate break-up of Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. Nonetheless, the trailers look promising for the June 10th opening of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Madagascar: this summer’s other big CGI animated comedy is from Dreamworks SKG.

Your kids are going to want to see this one – Madagascar opens everywhere on May 27th.

Bewitched: Classic TV shows continue to provide the basis for Hollywood film adaptations as Bewitched becomes big-screen comedy.

Kidman has had mixed success in comedy roles in the past so expect the antics of Ferrell to determine whether this film is a hit or a miss. Bewitched opens in theatres on June 24th.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: Johnny Depp stars in the big new remake of the treasured tale of Willy Wonka.

Summertime is quickly approaching and that means that movie blockbuster time will also be here. The Summer 2005 movie season will unofficially kick-off with the upcoming May release of Star Wars Episode III.

War of the Worlds: Tom Cruise, Steven Spielberg and aliens – how can this not be a huge hit?

From Sony Pictures Classics, Kung Fu Hustle is opening in theatres April 22, 2005, and has already opened in limited release on April 8th in Los Angeles and New York. The pre-release reviews are intriguing, and seem to be summed up by this quote from Nicholas Schager of filmcritic.com:

“…like an Asian Looney Tunes short…stretched to 90 minutes and blown up for the big screen…”

Look for a great escapist experience with a “hilarity and dementia”. I particulary like the Korean movie poster (shown here).

The Kung Fu Hustle movie synopsis can be found here, and Yahoo! Movies has some clips from the movie here…

Museum Replicas Acquires Ridley Scott’s Newest Film, “Kingdom of Heaven”

Museum Replicas Limited, the world’s leading manufacturer of historical swords, armor and period clothing is pleased to announce the release of The Kingdom of Heaven Collection.

Conyers, GA (PRWEB via PR Web Direct) March 23, 2005 — Museum Replicas Limited, the world’s leading manufacturer of historical swords, armor and period clothing is pleased to announce the release of The Kingdom of Heaven Collection. Based on the epic motion picture, “Kingdom of Heaven,” released through Twentieth Century Fox and directed by Ridley Scott, this line of licensed collectibles will include beautiful reproductions of the swords, helmets, armor, weapons, props and clothing seen in the film. Utilizing many of the actual props from the film, each collectible was expertly reproduced by the master craftsmen at Windlass Steelcrafts.

“All of the swords have high-carbon tempered blades, which are both perfectly balanced and battle worthy in every way,” says Dave Di Pietro, Director of Sales and Marketing. He adds, “Most reproductions based from movie swords are heavy, stainless steel wall hangers. Though they are nice to look at, these weighty pieces are usually not a faithful working counterpart of the screen used blades.”
