New V For Vendetta Posters. WOW!!

Warner Brothers has released 4 new posters for the upcoming V For Vendetta movie that will be released on March 17 2006. This comic adaptation will star Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving. These have to be some of the most striking movie posters I have seen in a long time. They have that retro-toliterian look to them and remind me of those old Russian propaganda posters during the war or something out of Orwell's 1984.



WOW !!!!!

Please Help Me Find This TV Show !!!!


I have been desperately trying to locate copies of this show from the 70s that I used to watch as a kid. It was called The Fantastic Journey and aired for 10 60 minute episodes on NBC from Feb 1977 to June 1977. It starred Roddy Mcdowall, Ike Eisenmann, Carl Franklin and Jared Martin. The premise was that a group of people where stranded on a island in the Bremuda Triangle and that all different times existed at once on this island and the group went back and forth in time each episode trying to find a way home. The show has been brought up as inspiration for many recent shows including Otherworld, X-Files, Sliders and even LOST. If anyone could help me find this series I would be most grateful.

Stallone,The Hardest Working Man In Movies.

Just weeks after the announcement that Sylvester Stallone was going to play Rocky again in Rocky Balboa, we now receive news that he will also bring another of characters back to the silver screen. Stallone will once again put on the camos of the ultimate war vet, Rambo in what would be the 4th Rambo installment. The film is set to start filming in Spring 2006 in the US and Mexico. Stallone should be very busy, with Rocky shooting starting this December and then his Poe movie that he would like to direct. I think we should just have a Rocky vs Rambo movie and Stallone can just play all the parts.

Eddie was 38. Our condolences go out to Eddie's wife Vickie and their 3 daughters.

Neil Gaiman's Stardust Comes To The Silver Screen.

One of the best fantasy stories of the past years is going to get the movie treatment curtisy of director Matthew Vaughn. Vaughn was one of the many directors attached to X-men 3 before dropping out. After that he went back to a project he had working on for many years, a movie of the Neil Gaiman masterpiece Stardust. Gaiman's story revolves around a young man who lives in a small town that borders the land of faerie. One day the man tells his beloved that he will journey into the magical lands and bring her back a fallen star. Vaughn supposedly has the screenplay done and is shopping the movie to Paramount. The screenplay is said to have the same tone as The Princess Bride.

Finally Back !

Can't Sleep?

One of my favorite pieces of art. Francisco de Goya's 1799 El sueno de la razon produce monstruos (The sleep of reason produces monsters). I always seem to think of this on those restless nights when I just can't sleep.

The Fog Remake.

This past weekend I finally had the chance to go see The Fog at the local theater. The movie was enjoyable but I have to say that I enjoyed the original Carpenter version more. I was glad to see that the makers of this redo didn't try to over-load it with CGI. yes there are CGI effects but the movie doesn't depend solely on them. They did keep most of the characters and loosely followed the original story. My one major dislike was the creation of the character played by Maggie Grace. They lump a lot of the fact finding onto her character, which was originally done by the priest in the original. There are a lot of loose ends and obvious scenes that are just overlooked or forgotten thru the coarse of the movie. A dock worker finds his dog lying in a steaming heap, no one seems to notice or care. The same dock worker begins to show horrible face wounds that get worse scene by scene, and he talks to several people and no one ever shows concern or asks about his face. There are many more that just make you wonder what the writers were trying to do. But even with all the flaws it was a fun watch. The ghosts were well done and there were moments of suspense. We didn't have Adrienne Barbeau to look at but Selma Blair was not hard on the eyes. But what was the deal with that ending. After the credits rolled we still sat there trying to figure out exactly what just happened. Was she a ghost the whole time? Did the ghost kill her and she was his now? Did the writers suddenly realize they were out of time and wrote a quick ending? I just hope that when it comes out on DVD that we get some deleted scenes that fill in some of the gaping holes. All in all I would still recommend it as a good watch, just don't go in expecting to see a movie as good as the original.

It was hard watching Shannon making kissey-face with Superman, I am sure Sayid is upset.
(if your a LOST fan you will get that.)
