I’ve tried to care about this show. Unfortunately, I seem to be falling into the Bourne trap. Every time I try to watch the Event I end up falling asleep. I’m not sure why that is, but obviously I haven’t grown attached to the main characters. The pace doesn’t seem fast, but a lot has [...]

Pippin’s Song
This minute section of the 3rd movie was one of my favorite scenes. Apparently, the song was put together almost last minute by the actor playing Pippin. This girl has a great voice. And even better. Guy this time. Reverb, but sounds good

Twilight falling fast?
Someone help me out here. I heard a couple of weeks ago that the movie “new moon”, part of the twilight trilogy, came out and nearly set a record for number of teenagers watching in the first week. But I cannot see it on the top 10 list on yahoo movies. Is this an error? [...]

Avatar Trailer
The Avatar Trailer is below. Avatar was directed by James Cameron. Yeah, the titanic guy. But also the strange days guy. Did Terminator 3 (bleh) But also did Terminator 2 (yay) And bonus points for the first film. Can’t forget True Lies either. Hit or miss. Call me a skeptic about this film based only [...]

Shutter Island
Directed by Martin Scorsese. With Ben Kingsley and Leonardo DiCaprio. I’ll wait for video, barring an outstanding review by Roger Ebert. I like Scorsese usually, but I really don’t like DiCaprio, despite the feeling that he’s a rather accomplished and talented actor. The unusual thing about this movie is that its a slasher/suspense flick. Not [...]

The Men Who Stare At Goats
This looks really funny. I don’t mind Clooney. I enjoy Spacey. Jeff Bridges and Ewan McGregor. The movie is directed by Grant Heslov, who’s been in many good movies as an actor. This will be his 3rd director credit, with Unscripted and Par 6. I’ve seen neither. So this movie is a toss up, but [...]

No Impact Man
No Impact Man is determined to live making as little impact as possible. Only local foods, no automobiles, no electricity. Sounds like torture to me. This movie has been received well at film festivals. I like the big productions, typically. Although I will find a way to see Capitalism, and the Cove. And maybe I’ll [...]

Gandhi and International Day of Non-Violence
Hope your yesterday was non-violent. Read more about Mahatma Gandhi here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohandas_Karamchand_Gandhi And remember there is a good move with Ben Kingsley from 1982 that is worth watching again. More about the movie is here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083987/ Has Candice Bergen (Murphy Brown) as well. It seems that well-remembered men of historical importance often born into families [...]

Movies on the watch list
District 9 I haven’t seen. And Zombieland makes my list. It looks like its being directed by a rookie. The director is listed as Ruben Fleischer http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/contributor/1808862662 Woody is cool, the girls are cute. Looks completely watchable. Here’s the trailer: Chances are good that 2012 is going to suck, so I’ll wait for the reviews [...]
