Jonah Hex - The Face of the Old West's Super Antihero

Another comic book based movie adaptation will soon hit the theaters once again in the form of a rugged old western antihero named Jonah Hex. Jonah Hex movie adaptation is set on the old west and revolves around a bounty hunter bound by a personal code of honor to protect and avenge the innocent at any cost, and when I say at any cost... I mean every pissible way. This is probably the reason why Jonah Hex is considered an antihero. Check out how his story will be presented on the big screen on June 18, 2010.



Jonah Hex Synopsis
Premise

onah Hex (Josh Brolin) is a scarred drifter and bounty hunter of last resort, a tough and stoic gunslinger who can track down anyone ... and anything. Having survived death, Jonah's violent history is steeped in myth and legend and has left him with one foot in the natural world and one on the "other side." His only human connection is with Leila (Megan Fox), whose life in a brothel has left her with scars of her own. But Jonah's past is about to catch up with him when the U.S. military makes him an offer he can't refuse: In exchange for his freedom from the warrants on his head, he must track down and stop the dangerous terrorist Quentin Turnbull (John Malkovich). But Turnbull, who is gathering an army and preparing to unleash Hell, is also Jonah's oldest enemy and will stop at nothing until Jonah is dead. Based on the legendary graphic novel, "Jonah Hex" is an epic adventure thriller about one man's personal quest for redemption against the vast canvas of the battle between good and evil.

Remember the line "...dreams are my reality" from Richard Sanderson's song "Reality"? If yes then could it be possible to make one's dream a reality?

ULTRAMAN THE NEXT (2004)

Another classic (though not really) tokatsu series has been streamed from yourstruly on the number one livestream website (for me that is)... Crunchyroll!

"Ultraman the Next" Movie

I still remeber the first Ultraman back in the 90's and maybe they brought justice to the movie by not placing the setting in a futuristic era or with anti alien-unit team. The movie is a heartwarming and world shattering bout of Lieutenant Maki of the Airforce possessing by the warrior of light, which the government group called "The Next" which later be named Ultraman (or Nexus a television follow up of the movie).

I love the rugged and organic look of Next in the first time that he possessed Maki, making Ultraman looked more Alien like and monstrous rather than a smooth and shiny rubbery creature but I like the original huh?

Next Brawling with his Enemy the Lizard-like ala-Godzilla nemesis

I also loved the long fight scenes and they redefine his blinking power source as a well life source or energy source but this time sounded more of an heart beat rather than a high pitch blinking sound.

I recommend this movie to the hard core Ultraman fans and fellow tokatsu otakus to either download it via torrent or stream it, I have a link for streaming on crunchyroll later on.

and of course.... his signature Ultraman bibibibibibeeeeeeaaammmmm!!!!!!!

Wikipedia Summarizes:

First Lieutenant Shun'ichi Maki of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force is a prestigious F-15 Eagle jet pilot (or "driver" as he is called in the film). A lifelong fan of flying since he was a child, being a pilot is his ultimate dream. Unfortunately, his duties distance himself from his wife, Yoko, who always ends up being neglected, and his son, Tsugumu, who has a congenital blood disease and has a high risk of dying at a young age.

Maki decides to quit the Air Force to devote more time to his family and to spend whatever is left for his son. He takes a part-time job as a commercial tour guide run by a kindly group of people who allow him time to work and to also take care of his family.

However, prior to quitting, Maki and his flight partner Yamashima are alerted to a strange red light streaking towards Japan, and Maki's plane collides with the red light. However, he has suffered no ill effects other than brief flashes of scenes playing out in his mind. He later discovers that the images in his mind are due to telepathic messages from the strange being in the light....
