Being a huge fan of The Bard, I recently went looking for a film adaptation of Twelfth Night, one of his few works that I have not had the chance to see as of yet. Hearing that there was a recent film adaptation, She's the Man, I set about procuring a copy of it.
What an utter waste. The stupid voice and facial expressions Amanda Bynes used to try and pretend to be a guy were just ridiculous. Don't bother. Two thumbs WAY WAY down. Perhaps the most mind-boggling part: the aforementioned atrocities, which caused me to turn the movie off in disgust only 30 minutes into it, are cited by one RT critic as the sole PLUS of the movie: "Implausible as she is, her voice-changing, artificial guy-speak, and penchant for causing fights makes the whole film fun and watchable." I guess there just really IS no accounting for taste. My next adventure: Enchanted. Thursday, May 29. 2008Movie Suggestion: The Fall
I'd suggest we all go see this together, but then Daboo would just go see it without us, spoiling it all.
Screw you, Daboo! It's playing at The Broadway Theater, according to Google. Wednesday, February 20. 2008The War is Over.
Well today makes it official, the HD-DVD war is over.
Which promted the following conversation with Giggler. Sideshow:So great Blu-Ray has won the HD Format war. Now all Sony has to do, is convince the vast majority of consumers that it's worth: and MG: "Many believe that the new disc format will be leap-frogged " that's how I've felt for a while Heck my dad has an HD-TV, and I still can't recommend him buying a Blu-Ray player. Not even for the gaming console that comes with it. Sunday, February 3. 2008Indie Films: Primer
I just watched an interesting movie called Primer, via Netflix's streaming service. It was entertaining, if a bit muddled, and you have to admire the fact that they made a great movie for only $7000.
Wednesday, January 9. 2008A Movie I'm Excited About
I really enjoyed Mark Millar's "Wanted" graphic novel/comics, so I was excited to see they made it into a movie, even if it does mean another 3 hours of my life wasted staring at Angelina's ugly mug.
Here's a VERY brief description from Amazon - trust me, it doesn't do justice to the concept: What if everything in your life was out of your hands and those around you propelled your fate? Your girlfriend left you for your best friend; your boss gave your job to someone better. What if then, after all this, someone gave you back total control? What if he revealed you were the next in line to join a secret society of super-villians that controlled the entire planet? Mark Millar and J.G. Jones provide a look at one man who goes from being the world's biggest loser to the deadliest assassin alive. The most talked-about superhero series of the year is now collected in this stunning hardcover edition! Mark Millar examines what happens when absolute power does corrupt absolutely, and everyman Wesley Gibson inherits incredible powers. Tuesday, November 6. 2007The Last Mimzy
Is it just me, or did it seem to anyone else as if there were two different creative teams working on this movie? There was the good one, who came up with the general concepts, and then the crappy one, who actually wrote the dialog and dropped the ball on the pacing...
Also, the teacher's voice sounds eerily like the voice of Lady Deirdre Skye, the leader of the faction "Gaia's Stepdaughters" from Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. Tuesday, September 4. 2007Wouldn't this be geat?!
I read this and had to share it with all of you.

...they will, it seems, make a movie about it.
On a similar note, there's going to be a movie version of Pullman's anti-Christian propaganda piece "The Golden Compass", coming to a theater near you this...errr...Christmas. When the Dark comes rising, Six shall turn it back Three from the Circle, Three from the track Wood, Bronze, Iron, Water, Fire, Stone; Five shall return and One go alone Iron for the birthday, Bronze carried long; Wood from the burning; Stone out of song; Fire from the candle-ring; Water from the thaw; Six Signs the Circle, and the grail gone before. Fire on the mountain shall find the harp of gold Played to wake the Sleepers -- Oldest of the Old; Power from the Green Witch Lost beneath the sea; All shall find the light at last! Silver on the Tree. Tuesday, March 20. 2007A Book and a Movie Recommendation
So I recently watched the movie The Prestige. I enjoyed it very much. It's a nice little brain teaser. I decided to read the book.
The book is also a good read. Nothing heavy, but a nice quick read. But It's one of the few times when I actually liked both the book and the movie, and can say I liked the Movie better. Just figured I'd offer a recommendation since I never see any of you to mention it in person. Tuesday, November 28. 2006

If you haven't read Bridge to Terebithia, your life is a hollow, meaningless shell. If you have, you might enjoy watching the trailer for the upcoming movie.
