Watch: First 6-minutes of "Sucker Punch"

We all know that "Sucker Punch" has been receiving dissenting critics over the past days -- but even the haters did agree that Zack Snyder put a really great effort in visualizing the 'artwork'. Warner Bros. gave us a special sneak peek of the first 6-minutes of the movie, which is AWESOME.

Exclusive - Six Minutes of Sucker Punch. Watch more top selected videos about: Clips, Preview

Started with a Warner Bros. logo covered in a stage courtain, it all opened and we'll see a broadway-set like on stage room. And then we finally get to see the leading lady Baby Doll (played by Australian actress Emily Browning) sitting on her bedroom looking very worried while the outside is raining. The background music, is a remake of Eurythmics' 1983 hit "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" sang by Browning herself. I like Browning's version much much more since it stimulates the chills and thrills.

Baby Doll runs to the other room only to find her mother already covered in white sheet -- she's dead. Her sister cried and fell to her knees, while their father -- presumably antagonist, makes a devilish smile while Baby Doll seems to be worried and afraid. After the funeral, their father finally gets the last testament of his deceased wife, reading it while the writing "possession of two daughters" is focused. He then goes to molest his daughters, Baby Doll's sister is hiding in a closet while Baby Doll makes a way out -- to take a gun.

Baby Doll comes back with the gun when her father breaks the closet's door. She tries to shoot but it misses and hits the lamp, which apparently hurts her sister herself. Her father calls the police, and eventually Baby Doll is taken to Lennox House, special place (read: jail) for people who (are allegedly) have mental illness. There Baby Doll's journey to escape with her sexay friends begin.

Despite the many many negative reviews I am still eager to watch this movie -- I've been an avid fan of Zack Snyder since "300"! Hopefully it will arrive soon here in Indonesia.

Diane Lane is Martha Kent in "Superman" reboot

Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures finally announced that Oscar-nominated Diane Lane has signed up to play Martha Kent, the only known mother of Clark Kent in the upcoming "Superman" reboot.

"This was a very important piece of casting for me because Martha Kent is the woman whose values helped shape the man we know as Superman. We are thrilled to have Diane in the role because she can convey the wisdom and the wonder of a woman whose son has powers beyond her imagination," said director Zack Snyder.

The "Superman" reboot is scheduled to be released in December 2012, starring British actor Henry Cavill as the Man of Steel.

Viggo Mortensen is eyed to play General Zod in "Superman" reboot

The pre-production of "Superman" reboot (or temporarily known as "Man of Steel") is on the run. After announcing that British hunk Henry Cavill will be the new Clark Kent/ Superman, the studio is now searching for who's going to play the ultimate villain, General Zod.

This is not an official news, but ever since The Hollywood Reporter considered Viggo Mortensen to play Zod, seems like everyone has finally put an eye on him. The character Zod comes from the same planet as Superman, the Krypton, and made an appearance in 1980's "Superman II", played by Terence Stamp back then. Even so, Zack Snyder, director of the reboot, previously denied that Zod being the main villain was just a rumor, but many speculations said that he did so for a 'damage control'.

Mortensen famously portrayed Aragorn in the most successful epic-colossal movie "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and is reportedly set to play The Huntsman in upcoming "Snow White and the Huntsman". He also had a leading role in "History of Violence", and generally his movie career has been strong as ever.

Besides Mortensen, Kevin Costner was reportedly linked earlier to play Jonathan Kent, the adoptive father of Clark Kent, and the studio had cast Alice Eve, Rosamund Pike, and Diane Kruger for a female lead in the movie — in which they described as 'not Lois Lane'. Many said that they were screened to play Ursa, Zod's right-hand woman, but Pike's representative said she wasn't linked to this project.

Well, this is the kind of news from a movie that is still in pre-production phase, everything is merely speculation. But it's so interesting to follow that I can't help myself to write about it! Check back for more updates of the "Superman" reboot!

Introducing the new Superman, Henry Cavill!

Finally after months and months of speculation on who's going to replace Brandon Routh as the man of steel in the upcoming Zack Snyder's reboot, Warner Bros Pictures and Legendary Pictures officially announced that British actor Henry Cavill got the role, as reported by Movie Web!

"In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time, and I am honored to be a part of his return to the big screen. I also join Warner Bros., Legendary and the producers in saying how excited we are about the casting of Henry. He is the perfect choice to don the cape and S shield," said Snyder.

What's more exciting about this movie is that Christopher Nolan (yes, that director of "The Dark Knight" and "Inception" who didn't get the cut in this year's Oscars as Best Director) will take part as one of the producers along with Charles Roven, Emma Thomas, and Snyder's spouse Deborah Snyder. David S. Goyer is the screenwriter, based on a story by himself and Nolan!

Cavill is famous of his role in television series "The Tudors" as Charles Brandon. He also starred in "Tristan + Isolde", Woody Allen's "Whatever Works", and "Stardust". His upcoming movie is "The Cold Light of Day" and "Immortals", to be released this year. Cavill beat other Superman candidates and you might recognize these famous names; Matthew Goode (who previously worked with Snyder in "Watchmen"), Matthew Bomer (star of television series "White Collar"), Armie Hammer (that "Social Network" hottie twins), Joe Manganiello (the werewolf of "True Blood"), and Colin O'Donaghue (who currently starred in "The Rite" with Anthony Hopkins).

The reboot of Superman, which will be titled "Man of Steel", is out 2012.

New Kick-ass "Sucker Punch" Poster

Even though moviegoers already 'doubt' the storyline and screenplay of this movie (including me), we're all inevitable 'blown away' by the glorious graphics, action, and special effects of the trailer. Zack Snyder is truly a revolutionary director, and one of my most favorites.

In my opinion, Zack never put aside the substantial values of his movies, because I personally enjoyed "Watchmen" and "300" (I watched "Sin City" as well but I didn't get 'the feel' like I did in the previous two movies). He's been bringing 'realism' through his movies, the one's that audience could relate to and understand because it makes us think "Well if I were them (the characters), I'll do the same way).

"Sucker Punch" tells a story about a young girl who's institutionalized by her wicked stepfather. Retreating to an alternative reality as a coping strategy, she envisions a plan which will help her escape from the facility. It will hit theatre in March 25, 2011 with no 3D. Emily Browning, Jenna Malone, Abbie Cornish, and Vanessa Hudgens star as the ass-kicking girls.
