Movie Binge Month and Happy New Year

It’s cold out, so the only thing to do is watch movies all month. Between trying to get off my lazy behind and going to the movies, watching TV and my instant Netflix subscription, I’ve watched a few movies this month.

Some have been great, some just good, and some I’ve seen many times already....In no particular order, I’ve seen:

The Tree of Life
Shattered Glass
Drive
Raging Bull
On the Waterfront
Tiny Furniture
Page One: Inside The New York Times
Cave of Forgotten Dreams
Road to Perdition
Young Adult
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
The Romantics
The Myth of the American Sleepover
Slacker
Waiting for "Superman"

Have a happy and healthy New Year peeps. 2012 is going to be a good one. The Dark Knight Rises, The Amazing Spider-Man and The Great Gatsby are just a few reasons.

Happy New Year.

Peter Sarsgaard Is "Green Lantern" Villain

Critically acclaimed actor Peter Sarsgaard is slated to play the villain Dr. Hector Hammond in Martin Campbell's "Green Lantern" comic adaptation for Warner Bros. Pictures, reports Heat Vision.

According to Heat Vision: Sarsgaard is in negotiations to play the villain in "Green Lantern," Warner Bros.' big-budget, Martin Campbell-directed tentpole based on the DC Comics super hero.

The villain Dr. Hector Hammond is a pathologist and son of a senator who is seen as a disappointment in his father's eyes. He becomes infused with psychic powers when he discovers a meteor.

Ryan Reynolds is starring as Hal Jordan, the test pilot who finds a downed spacecraft with a dying alien who passes him a powerful ring, introducing Jordan to a interstellar police force known as the Green Lanterns. John Broome and Gil Kane created the character in the early 1960s.

Sarsgaard joins Reynolds and Blake Lively in the film, which Donald De Line and Greg Berlanti are producing.

Sarsgaard most recently starred in "An Education," and also just wrapped "Knight and Day" with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. To add an actor with the talent of Sarsgaard is such a benefit to this big-budget film. Known for mostly doing independent films, like 2003’s “Shattered Glass,” the actor will now take part in one of 2011’s biggest films. For his role in “Glass,” Sarsgaard won the National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Supporting Actor.

“Green Lantern” is prepping for a March start in New Orleans.
