Highlander Remake Gets Iron Man Writers
2008-05-22 00:25:00 Highlander Remake Gets Iron Man WritersThere can be only several!Source: The Hollywood Reporter A couple of years back we listed films we'd actually like to see remade, and Highlander was one of 'em. Well, it looks like someone up there in Hollywoodland was listening, because we're going to get our wish (well, "wish" is putting it a bit strongly) with the news that Iron Man co-writers Art Marcum and Matt Holloway have signed on to write the new version of the action/sci-fi spectacular.The original film, for those of you who have somehow missed it, starred Christopher Lambert as a Scotsman and Sean Connery as an Egyptian (reason one why a remake would be no bad thing). It was made in 1986 (reason two why a remake is a good idea) and had a female lead with terrible hair and worse dress sense (reason 3). But the basic plot, wherein Immortals have to go around killing each other until there's only one of them left - hence the famous but none-...

Highlander - The Source Makes Me Wish the Franchise Wasn't Immortal
2008-02-20 23:50:00 Some franchises never seem to go away. They may ebb and flow, but they do not disappear. Some franchises appear to be immortal.Such has been the case with Highlander, a franchise that started with a film in 1986, has had three other theatrical releases, no fewer than three television series, animated features, novels, comic books, and last fall a made-for-television movie that is being released on DVD on February 26.This latest feature film to enter the canon, Highlander: The Source (directed by Brett Leonard), follows the story of Duncan MacLeod (Adrian Paul), the lead character in the Highlander television series. Without a basic knowledge of the other movies or television series (the latter helps far more than the former), everything that takes place in this film is wholly indecipherable. A bigger problem is that even if one is aware of what happened in the various series and films, there is little present to care about here.The movie picks up an unspecified number of years ...
Highlander
2008-02-07 23:35:00 DescriptionThe Highlander is the complete package, beautiful, domestic yet it has a distinctly different and wild look, it is loving, entertaining, physically sound, and is so much fun.Highlander ears is tall, open, and with a slight backwards flare, they bring to mind the large tufted ears of the Canadian Lynx. The dominant curl gene in the Highlander breed makes the ears more noticeable and exotic in appearance. The Highlander's ears have more of a vertical crimp than a horizontal one.The ears should not fold back into a tight curl. This breed's chin and muzzle are also very noticeable. The muzzle, long and squared-off with large whisker pads and resting on top of a well-defined deep chin, evokes the image of a wild cat.This breed has substantial body structure and is a large cat. Watching a Highlander move is pure beauty as their long hind legs flex and the heavy, pronounced muscles ripple between their shoulder blades, reminiscent of the wild cat. The Highlander's feet are mo...

Highlander: The Source
2007-10-05 20:56:00 Highlander -- So has anyone seen the trailer for the new Highlander movie? Does anyone even know that there's a new Highlander movie? Well it's slated for release this year and it's the fifth Highlander movie to date.I read somewhere that it was already shown in America, aired by the Sci-Fi Channel, but when I watched Resident Evil the other day, I saw the trailer for Highlander: The Source, so I'm guessing that it will be shown here in our local cinemas.I can't wait for this one. If you've read my earlier post on the Highlander series, you'll get an idea of how much I like Highlander. Added to that, Adrian Paul, the original Duncan MacLeod, is the one starring in the movie. So that's double the "I can't wait for this one."Oh yeah, the plot. It's basically just a quest to find the Holy Grail so that the immortals can unlock the secrets of "The Source". Ah but this time, as they race to find the secrets, the world of the near-future is on its path to destruction.So, is anyo...
Movie Review: Highlander: The Source
2007-09-21 02:30:00 The Highlander franchise has a long and checkered history with creative output that has often been more bad than good. This production record will not be improved by the latest made-for-TV movie in the franchise, Highlander: The Source. The production disappoints. There is only the semblance of a plot. Characters are poorly drawn. Lack of subtlety and a real back story leaves the ending feeling empty.

Scottish Highlander Guests
2006-07-14 07:26:00 We had some great guests stay with us last weekend who were in the area to compete in Scottish Highland Games. Maybe you have seen such competitions on TV - very large men in kilts who throw (“put”) large stones on a chain, heave long poles (cabers), etc. I just saw a Toyota truck magazine ad showing a doctored photo of some Scottish Highland competitors one of whom has just heaved the pole and accidentally bounced it off a Toyota pickup, a humorous demonstration of how tough the truck is. If you use a search engine to research Scottish Highland Games or Festivals, you will see that there are an enormous number of groups and events all over the country. The game competitors take their sport seriously and it's fun to watch. While watching, I was thinking I'd like to pick up one of the stones to see just how heavy it is and have a full appreciation of how much it takes to throw one. It appeared to me that it is not only strength but also agility and timing that are required. And i... |
