If The Art of War wasn’t mediocre enough, it’s getting a lame Direct To Video sequel, like 9000 other films.
Snipes is out, and rapper Treach will be taking over the lead role, still the same guy named Shaw. Sung Hi Lee takes over the Asian girl role, but as a different Asian girl.

I’ve been waiting for the Korean movie D-War for over a year, as it looks like it will be a gigantic mess of a film, but it’s also becoming one of the most expensive Korean films in history. A film where dragons attack in modern day that might not be as terrible as Reign of Fire is intriguing. Hyung Rae Shim is the director, but it looks like he had plans of a different film to do afterward. A writer for Twitch got a hold of a book that mentioned the next film…Fish War!
The synopsis:
In the deep, bottomless sea … There are undersea cities where mutated fishes with highly developed intellectual power live together peacefully. But, they got into rage and swore revenge against human beings who continue to catch fishes indiscriminately. One of those days, mysterious events started happening, such as pleasure boats at sea sunk and submarines exploded in the sea. Finally, fishes declared a war against human beings on land and came out on the ground to conquer the human beings with highly advanced weapons and military strength, several times more developed than those of human beings. Human beings was defeated instantly by fishes equipped with bombers shaped like a stingray, battle tanks like an octopus, and special forces like a seahorse, and finally put the world under the control of fishes, not of human beings anymore. At court, Dr. Octopus sentenced human beings who habitually tormented fishes. At a sushi restaurant, a catfish, puffing cigars, waited for dishes made of human beings. And fishes caught and refridgerated human beings as exactly human beings did to fishes and completely controlled the whole world. In Japan, meanwhile, Yamamoto family, the well known sushi master in business for 3 generations, became an most infamous enemy of fishes.

Look out, Vietnam, Kissinger is back, or shall we say back and black? Unfortunately, this movie is not about Henry Kissinger being turned into an African American and being forced to kick some butt, as Black Kissenger is a different Kissinger. It’s Fred Williamson Kissinger. So you know he’s going to kick butt. He’s already been Black Caesar and Black Cobra, now this inglorious bastard is Black Kissinger.
Plot Summary:
Henry Kissinger (no relation), a Jamaican-born American cop, returns to his homeland for a vacation and runs afoul of a violent plot by an American hotel tycoon to seize control of lucrative waterfront resort space. To get to the bottom of it all, he’ll have to learn to play by a whole new set of rules - and rediscover the heritage he’s denied all his life. Black Kissinger. He’s the man with the plan to bring some peace to the promised land.

Since Wild Things 2 and Wild Things 3 are some of the biggest articles on my site, it is pretty much a given that we will make the first piece of news relayed through the blog that a sequel to the original Wild Things is being pushed through the studio systems. Titled Backstabbers, it even has Neve Campbell and Denise Richards attached. No word on if Bill Murray will guest star, or if he will be replaced with Bernie Mac.
Mandalay ‘Wild’ about pic reteam
McNaughton to helm ‘Backstabbers’
By CHRIS GARDNERMandalay is rounding up a “Wild Things” reunion.
Company has made a deal with “Wild Things” helmer John McNaughton to direct “Backstabbers,” penned by Stephen Peters, who wrote the 1998 sexy thriller starring Denise Richards, Neve Campbell, Matt Dillon and Kevin Bacon.
Richards and Campbell are in talks to reteam in “Backstabbers.” Mandalay and producers are currently rounding out the rest of the pic’s package.
Story is described as a sexy caper about a rich New York man who masterminds his wife’s kidnapping unaware that his mistress and bodyguard are going to double-cross him.
Warden, White & Associates’ Steve White is producing with Jerry Li. Reagan Silber is exec producing. The project is being overseen for Mandalay by exec veep David Zelon.
“Backstabbers” has been in development at Mandalay for several years and once had John Herzfeld attached to direct. At that time, however, pic was titled “Trophy Wife” and the plot has had an overhaul since then. Although “Backstabbers” reunites the players from “Wild Things,” it’s not being billed as a sequel. That pic already spawned 2004’s video title “Wild Things 2.

Nor do I consider myself one. Even with having some fake blogs before basically designed to troll people, I do not “blog”. So you are probably wondering what this is. It is a blog, however, that does not make me a blogger. It makes me a guy who added a blog to his website to give it more functionality. This will be a good place to dump news of terrible films, links to interesting reviews on other sites, and other random information that doesn’t fit the main page of TarsTarkas.NET.
