Check out this fun video by a code0ranger in an easier format to view (damn you YouTube!).

I did not bother to see the first FF movie. It was hopelessly miscast and looked hokey from the previews. Well, this trailer is better, but I may be saying that because I have always been a fan of the Silver Surfer. Anyways, it also looks like Tim Story is still directing this and they kept the cast intact. So now the battle begins in my mind...Do I shell out the cash in hopes that the Surfer might not suck?

I got up this morning to find that my newspaper had yet again been heisted from its normal location; on the floor in front of my hotel room door. Undeterred, I made my way to Moose & Sadie's for a cup of coffee. I found a newspaper there and noticed a review of a new movie opening today called [Children of Men](http://www.childrenofmen.net) starring Clive Owen and Directed by [Alfonso Cuarón](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfonso_Cuar%C3%B3n).

The review made me decide to check it out. I needed to see a movie...a good movie.

I can honestly say that I wasn't disappointed -- I loved this movie. Dystopian SciFi done well seems to be hard to come by, especially on the Big Screen, but this movie is beautiful. It is viceral and real in a way that I cannot easily describe.

My Lord.

Two Moives on the Horizon:

First the good news, from the House of Flying Daggers' producers next high-wire kick ass kung fu drama that is loosely based on a play by Cao Yu, called Curse of the Golden Flower backed by SONY. Am I wrong? Or did Sony handle Spiderman as well. These guys are playing nice with my childhood fantasies. Speaking of which. Hear comes a weird flashback from my youth, Jesus Camp. Did you guys go to church as children? Did it ever make you cry? In exstacy? IMDB provides of this

Last night me and the lady went and saw The Illusionist, with Edward Norton and Paul Giamatti. Save your money people, because this movie is farking awful, cheesie (as in old stinky cheese), and filled with fake beards and mustaches. I dig both the main actors enough to watch them just eat breakfast, but their latest work is a two-foot high smoldering pile of shite. It's so bad I'm not even linking the trailer.

On the good side, last week we saw Little Miss Sunshine, and that was flat glorious. Funny, painful, unpredicatble (to a point). Steve Carell is wickedly funny, as is the whole cast. Well worth your time and money. It will massage your inner pathos, and tongue kiss the cynic in ya. It's the first movie that's made me feel really good in a very long time.

What I originally thought you meant by TMNT. Does anybody else remember way back when these guys were really badass killers?

In an energetic, if anachronous, display of people with nothing better to do, my sister and I joined 398 of our closest friends in a reenactment of the hysterical evacuation of innocent citizens from a movie theater in the seminal film "The Blob."

Part of one of the more creative attempts at [sub]urban renewal, the reenactment starts off a weekend of festivities called "Blob Fest," centered on the role of the Colonial Theater, featured in the film. An otherwise sleepy hamlet, Phoenixville, PA, borders historic Valley Forge, iconic for its location of Washington's revolutionary army from 1777-1778. As with so many steel and former steel towns of the area, the country yields very suddenly to a small urban district with a beautiful and well-preserved main street (in this case, Bridge Street). In the center of the block, situated between cute restaurants and quaint shops lies the grand dame herself, the Colonial.

Check it out, kids!

I'm very excited!

Well, as expected the super-paced release of a popular best-selling novel has turned into to a movie. Which just proves to me that Americans in general have a serious case of ADD. We can only allow something to be "fashionable" for so long and within that go into over-kill mode so that we finally become sick of it.

In the case of The Da Vinci Code we find ourselves in a world of a miss-cast Tom Hanks (Robert Langdon) supported by Audrey Tautou (Sophie Neveu) Ian McKellen (Sir Leigh Teabing) and Paul Bettany (Silias). Killer line up in a mega blockbuster Ron Howard film. Well, that's exactly what it was. I found it to be very true to the book and enjoyable to watch. Except for the noticeable cold that Tom Hanks seamed to have the entire movie. (Maybe the French Air didn't agree with him.)
