i_declare_war_00
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 69% (Critics) / 64% (Audience)
Directed By: Jason Lapeyre and Robert Wilson
Written By: Jason Lapeyre
Starring: Siam Yu, Kolton Stewart, Gage Munroe
Studio: Drafthouse Films

Synopsis: Armed with nothing more than twigs, their imaginations and a simple set of rules, a group of 12-year-olds engaged in a lively game of Capture the Flag in the neighborhood woods start dangerously blurring the lines between make-believe and reality. Rocks = Grenades. Trees = Control towers. Sticks = Submachine guns. The youthful innocence of the game gradually takes on a different tone as the quest for victory pushes the boundaries of friendship. The would-be warriors get a searing glimpse of humanity’s dark side as their combat scenario takes them beyond the rules of the game and into an adventure where fantasy combat clashes with the real world. – (Source)

Joss Whedon Must Be A Fan of Tuff Turf…Casts James Spader In Avengers Sequel

Derek

James Spader has been cast as the villainous robot Ultron in the Avengers sequel which will reunite Spader with Robert Downey Jr., his co-star from one of the greatest bad movies ever: TUFF TURF ( I know they starred in LESS THAN ZERO together but that movie sucks ass and not in a good way). This is an odd bit of casting though, much odder than Ben Affleck as Batman to be honest, and I am curious as to just how Whedon plans on depicting Ultron in this movie.
