Neil Miller isn’t a fan of Ridley Scott’s new film. At all. Robert Fure and I disagree, and while neither of us love the movie we both think it deserves a fairer shake than the D+ grade Miller awarded it. And here’s why…

This week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr isn’t a very merry man, taking a look at Robin Hood, Letters to Juliet and Just Wright.

If Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood suffers from any one thing — and it suffers from many — it suffers from being disconnected from the classic nature of the character. Even Kevin Costner’s Robin of Locksley, through the terrible accent, had a bit of joie de vivre. Even he had a bit of fun.

Kevin and Neil decide to be outlaws and scamper around the Magical Studio in the Sky like a bunch of merry men. This gives them an opportunity to impale Ridley Scott’s new version of Robin Hood while Kevin declares Letters to Juliet a better film.

Bows and arrows won’t even put a dent in the War Machine, and, this weekend, we see if die-hard, Ridley Scott fanatics can make any kind of an impact on Iron Man 2′s sure-to-be strong, second weekend.

We take a look at the hundred-year history of Robin Hood in film and discover that Sean Connery seems to be the common thread.

Universal Pictures has released one final trailer for Robin Hood, once again emphasizing the larger scale of the Russell Crowe-led affair. As you can clearly see, they want you to know that director Ridley Scott is taking the action back to his Gladiator days.

Ridley Scott doesn’t want to use the most iconic creature in his arsenal.

The Alien prequel will be in 3D one way or another, but Scott seems unafraid of handling it all in post.

Those silly French, they do love to name-drop in their Cannes line-up. Twenty ten will bring names like Jean-Luc Godard, Woody Allen, Steven Frears, Oliver Stone, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu and more to the world’s most glamorous film fest, the 63rd Festival de Cannes.

Rob Hunter loves movies. He also thinks the 80s are going to be the best decade ever in the world of film. These two joys come together in the form of cash money payments that he receives every week and immediately uses to rent more movies on VHS.

Last year, the Cannes Film Festival played an interesting card by opening with Pixar’s Up in 3D. It struck new ground for major film festivals, taking an incredibly mainstream, progressively formatted film and placing it as the fest’s biggest slice of real estate. This year, they’re going back to the mainstream well. Only this time, no houses will be flying away to South America. This time, some houses of peasants will probably be burned to the ground. Coming in to save the day will be Russell Crowe, naturally.

Fox ordered Ridley Scott to extract about 40 minutes of footage from his original cut of the film, making the theatrical cut borderline incomprehensible, puny, meaningless, and a box-office bomb. With the additional footage added back in for The Director’s Cut the film transforms into something grand, gorgeous, and significant.

If Ridley Scott is doing one thing with his upcoming period action film Robin Hood, it is historical accuracy. Because in those days — I say “those days” because I don’t have time to Wikipedia the particular time period that Robin Hood may have lived like other movie bloggers — everyone was, in fact, a total badass.

Universal Pictures has released the Superbowl TV spot for their upcoming action tentpole Robin Hood, from director Ridley Scott. The film stars Russell Crowe in the title role, as a crusader from the people who steals from the rich, gives to the poor and sword fights to some kick-ass heavy metal music.

The first trailer for Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood — which stars Russell Crowe as the bow-wielding outlaw of Sherwood Forest — has hit the web via YouTube this evening, and man does it rock. Literally.

Ridley Scott is back in the past, working on yet another epic period action film with Russell Crowe. This time, instead of going all the way back to the time of the Gladiator, Scott is taking on the story of Robin Hood.

I admit that I, too, scoffed at the idea of a Monopoly movie. I still do. It’s not just the cold I’ve been trying to beat for a few days.

Since Peter Berg might possibly, maybe, could not be directing Dune, we’ve decided to throw a few hats into the ring. Who do you think could helm one of the hardest science fiction adaptations of all time?

Once he’s done cutting up Sherwood Forrest with Russell Crowe, Ridley Scott is likely going to move on to Gucci, a look at the turbulent times in the 70′s and 80′s of the family-owned fashion label.
