"Ghost Ship"

Nick Cross and I watched "Ghost Ship" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Ship_(2002_film) last night.
It was sickeningly and grotesquely fascinating to me although quite cheesy and elementary. (...maybe that's why.)

If you haven't seen the movie, don't watch THIS YOUTUBE CLIP clip, it be a spoiler. *wink*
I kinda liked the song that this portion of the movie played to. (It's called, "My Little Box.")

The bad guy in the movie was really hot. His real name is Desmond Harrington. He plays Jack Ferrimen (...which is funny because he's "Ferrying" a boat full of souls.)

I really like reading the "Trivia" section on IMDB after most movies. It's thrilling for me. This movie has some cool trivia.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0288477/trivia
I wanted to see more about the "Behind the Scenes" and how they filmed the movie. There were some background shots in THIS video, but not enough for me. I want to know more.

It looks like the story is based loosely off a real story of a boat called the "Mary Celeste."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Celeste

I am sure I will think of it the next time I am on a cruise and love it.

The Bank Job

I watched a movie on the airplane on the way home from New York called "The Bank Job" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0200465/) It was cool and contrary to what I heard, definitely worth my time and the $7.00 to watch it on Virgin America.

I looked up more on the heist at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bank_Job and found this:

The Bank Job is a 2008 British crime film directed by Roger Donaldson and starring Jason Statham, based on the 1971 Baker Street robbery in central London, from which the money and valuables stolen were never recovered. The producers allege that the story was prevented from being told because of a D-Notice (now known as a DA-Notice) government gagging request, allegedly to protect a prominent member of the British Royal Family.^[3][4] According to the producers, this movie is intended to reveal the truth for the first time,^[5] although it includes significant elements of fiction and the extent to which it represents historical fact is difficult to determine.
After four days of news coverage, British authorities issued a D-Notice, requesting that news coverage be discontinued for reasons of national security, and the story disappeared from newspapers. The purpose for the D-Notice was never disclosed, and its existence was not confirmed until recently.^[4]

I can't help but think this stuff really does happen.
...just from my industry, I can see where that could totally happen and thanks to corruption and political allies, it does not seem as prevalent as it is.

It's the stuff that makes the world go round. ...and the people in it go just as much around if you ask me.

This centers around a safe deposit box heist which is quite remarkable when I think about the contents of safe deposit boxes worldwide.

MOVIE: The Dark Knight

I went with Jason Sechrest to see the new Batman movie, 'The Dark Knight.'
Here are a few of my scattered thoughts.

• There was one time that Jason warned me about that the movie got very "preachy" and Morgan Freeman's character said, "...that's too much power for one man." I won't spoil it for you, but jeesh, the movie's technology and practical application are not that far off. I liked the movie but get frustrated when I leave a movie and feel like I left a sermon. It's all good and I know you mix messages with entertainment, I mean, that's what we do. *exasperated*
• At one point, after waiting in line and finding premium seats that were all by ourselves, I left Jason to the seats while I went to get fluid refreshment. As I was coming back in the crowded theater to sit he was walking down the hallway and told me, "I think I just gave up our seats." I said, "You THINK you did or you are sure you did since you are walking down the hallway, my dear?" He smiled and we headed back to find new seats in the front of the front of the front of the theater.
• The Jokers character is diabolical. I like that. I am entertained by that, I want to learn from that, I enjoy it. However, don't kill me, but I think Heath Ledgers performance overrated. That's just me though. I expected something stellar by the way it was cast by the media. Heath Ledger played it well by all means. It does not mean, I don't appreciate his efforts to the motion picture society, but it does mean, I think his 'Brokeback Mountain' performance was much more emotional and more award worthy. ...and not jsut 'cause it was gay.
  
• We went to see it in IMAX in Anahiem. We drove 40 minutes to see the show that was not sold out two days in a row. It didn't feel that different from a regular theater spare that the scenes of Gotham flying were pretty impressive.
  
• It might just be me, but Gotham City looks very much like Chicago. Nope, it's not just me.
  
• There were a few lines I really liked. One of them was Two-Face: The only justice in an unfair world is chance. I can't agree more. The other is when they are talking about chaos and that the only reason some people do things is because of the fun of it. Rarely do I do things solely for that reason, but I do believe some people do. I trust that calculation will pay off more in most circumstances, but sometimes, "...only for the fun of it." is the best reason. Who defines fun though? In a twisted mind, fun can be quite scary.
• I thought, "Man, if these crimes occur in the movie, someone had to think of them. I am glad they were for a movie and not to be carried out. That scares me.

MOVIE: Dark Knight

So I hear the new "Batman' movie, "Dark Knight" is the movie to see. In fact, I hear there is a waiting list at some theaters. Check out this REVIEW.
I am little biased on "Batman" stuff, so it's not really fair to ask me.
...even though it does not have "Robin" and I am partial to him, I think I can handle this one.
Find out more about the movie HERE and HERE.
Read the IMDB record HERE. (I love IMDB.)

On a side note, and night/knight note, I saw "Prom Night" with Andy at the hotel in Anaheim the other week and ummmm... I am never going to get that time and $14.95 I spent on the in-room movie back. The best part was the cute boys like Kelly Blatz.
Leave this one on the floor like the proverbial prom dress.

The Mist: Missed by a Mile

Mitchell and I watched Steven King's "The Mist" movie last night and I didn't like it. On a scale of 1 - 10, it's a 2.

It was the tentacles that were the worst for me. It was over when I saw that. I would have been much more scared and liked the movie a whole lot more if it were not some alien thing that were out there and I just plain didn't know. Yea, the friggin' tentacles made me lose most of the attention. Sorry Mr. King.

Plus, it was too religious for me. ...way too religious. If I wanted that kind of experience, I would go to church or turn on the TV at 4:00am to that crazy channel on cable. ARGH!
In the movie, the people stuck in this grocery store end up divided into two camps. Okay, such is life. ...with a lot of things. I didn't want to hear that being preached to me again. I live it most days with most things I do.

Furthermore, it's too much against government. I am not in the mood lately to be against government. I mean, we all make mistakes, unfortunately the government is under a lot of scrutiny and mistakes they make can count for much more. It was like the government up in the mountains was covering up aliens and stuff. In my own humble opinion, which I have been expressing often lately, they always have covered stuff up, and they always will. Often, it's for the good of the people. Deal with it.

It did have one good song. ...a really good song. Dead Can Dance's "The Host Of Seraphim" had a big impact and was actually really moving it itself. I would have been happy and my "religious experience" with just this music video. If you watch this YouTube clip, it's about as good as the movie.
...and a fierce old lady. Frances Sternhagen plays Irene Reppler who threw a can of peas at one the biblical references in the movie's character Mrs. Carmody. It was fierce! Plus, in another scene she used bug spray and a match to blow a huge flame at one of the "bugs." We both said, "What a fierce bitch!"

The ending was too much for me. It was like, the end is near, we all realize it, this is what we are going to do about it and then - it wasn't the ending. The bitches were all wrong. It was a very military, hardcore, "DAMN - that's sucks." ending. I was a little sad of course, moved a tad bit and pissed off more than anything.

The best thing was that I could tell it was filmed in Louisiana. YEA! In one scene in the movie, the people stand right in front of a shelf of Zapp's Potato Chips. Anyone from Louisiana knows that a incredibly regional product. I immediately thought, "No fucking way, they are supposed to be in Maine, but that just can't be." ...that made my day. I went to IMDB with Mitchell afterwards and sure enough, it was filmed in Shreveport, Louisiana. The potato chips excited me when I would have been asleep otherwise.
The IMDB record points out what I caught in the GOOFS section as well as one other one that I didn't see that would have given it away. It also says that "Errors in geography: The fire engine that drives past the grocery store says "Caddo Parish" on the door. Caddo Parish is not in Maine, where the movie takes place, but in Louisiana (Shreveport) where the movie was filmed." If I would have seen that, I would have been sure.
Louisiana is the only state that has a "parish" where the others have a "county".

You can watch the trailer HERE.

Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight

I also watched, well re-watched, Tales from the Crypt's Demon Knight. I remember seeing at the theater where I also saw the Cryptkeeper's Bordello of Blood with the HOT Angie Everhart. (She's sexy and beautiful!)

Billy Zane was hot in this movie. I don't think he's as hot now, but man, it that movie, he was smokin' as "The Collector" demon.

I like "Tales from the Crypt." I find it so humorous. There is so much humor in every tale.
I have always loved how so many stars have little roles on TFC. I wondered if they had some clause in their contract that said, "You can't be a real star unless you have a small role with the Cryptkeeper." It always amazed me who would show up if you paid attention. (...for example, John Laroquette was in Demon Knight.)
Plus, I am intrigued by the marketing that the "Tales from the Crypt" have spawned. It goes on and on an on. I love that.
If I used to stay up late, I could watch the TV show, but that didn't happen very much unless I had a babysitter that I could persuade well. (...that's a little of an embellishment, I was in high school then. I wished for a hot babysitter in high school.)
One of the characters was a prostitute named Cordelia and one of my favorite lines she said was:
Cordelia: Are my sheets done yet?
Jeryline: They're downstairs. And I couldn't get all those stains out, either.
Cordelia: Damn guacamole.

30 Days of Night

I like scary movies. (...and I don't mean Wet Palms.) I mean movies like THIS where you can see AOL's top 31 horror movies.

This past weekend I watched the recent movie "30 Days of Night" because I thought it would be scary.
Ummmm, those MTV commercials I blogged were scarier than this movie.

The best part of this movie was that it was over.
It was awful.

Thank God it had Josh Hartnett in it. He was hot.

There were these squealing vampire like creatures that only came out in Alaska in the 30 days that there is no sun.

You can see the trailer HERE and the official website HERE.

I can think of much better things to do with 113 minutes then this movie though.

"Theatricality and deception are powerful agents."

I rented "Batman Begins" from iTunes two nights ago and watched it again for the first time since I saw it at the movies in Las Vegas when it came out.
I rented one more scary/thriller movie too because it was set in Louisiana, but I can't remember the name of it.
I am not a big fan of the iTunes rentals. I prefer the cable OnDemand having used both.

As I was watching it, I thought, man, that looks like Chicago, so I looked online and sure enough, parts of the street scenes were filmed in the Windy City. They temporarily changed some of the buildings in Chicago to "Gotham City" buildings for filming like the building to the left. I am not right too often, so I was tickled that I recognized Chicago.
I have always been fascinated with "Gotham City" and listed as one of the places I would like to go on vacation once.

I have to say that one part stood out this time in the movie when I watched it from my couch.
One of the characters named, Henri Ducard said,

"Theatricality and deception are powerful agents."

I can't agree more.
Wow, that hit me like a ton of bricks. Ouch.
I know it was just one line in the movie, but I feel like the volume was turned up for that statement. I heard it so well. I don't know why, but it happened and I thought I would make note of it.
I didn't like that character in the comics or the movie, but I apprecaite that they kept him true to the story for the film. Thank you.

MOVIE: Cursed

I watched most of a movie today called 'Cursed'.
It has the goth girl from "Addams Family" Christina Ricci,
'Pacy' from "Dawson's Creek"Joshua Jackson (Who looks HOT and scary.),
Portia de Rossi, (Ellens girlfriend)
and a cute nerdy kid named Jesse Eisenberg as Jimmy who has been around too.
I like seeing people I know from other things in movies like this.

There was a cute little gay role in the movie too that was neat.

Jimmy Myers: No, I'm not gay, I'm cursed!
Bo: I know it must feel like that sometimes...
Jimmy Myers: No, I'm cursed by the Mark of the Beast!

I loved the wrestling scene when he shows off his new powers as a warewolf. Hot.

Alot of it is shot and set in Hollywood right around where I live, so that's always fun too.

B Movie Night

I had a B-movie night last night. I mean, Brandon Movie night. ...AND I mean second rate movies. I went to my Cox On Demand $1.99 or less movies.

"I watched "Deep Into the Woods" which was so bad it was okay.

A troupe of actors are hired to perform for a young boy's birthday at a remote mansion. The party goes well, except for some unusual behavior by the youngster and his grandfather, but then things take a turn for the worse when the police come by to warn everyone that a murderer is roaming loose in the area. The actors decide the safest thing to do is to stay in the mansion, but soon the bodies start piling up. Could the killer be the old man, the young boy, or one of the actors themselves?"

Next to one of the cute boys I can't find much on online, (the one of the right in this image) it was a bust. $1.99 and 90 minutes I won't be able to get back in life, but am fine having spent with him. *wink*

Then I watched "Jeepers Creepers 2." I should have learned from the first.
This time it was 104 minutes and another $1.99 that I won't be seeing again.

• It wasn't that bad as a movie, I liked the gore and ummm... someone is a 'mo on the production staff, there were lots of cute boy shots. ...I liked that.
• Al Santos is looking HOT! HOT! HOT! I thought that in 2005 too.
  
• Scott was cute too.
• ... for a dork-like character, this Rick Moranis look alike character named Buck was beautiful. Some of his promotional headshot photos are smoking hot and he does not look so much like Moranis, but in others he sure does.
  
• The character named "Izzy" was hot too. He was the token gay, or was he? Get it? Is he (Izzy) or isn't he? *woka, woka*
• There was this one scene when a bunch of the shirtless, hot boys were tanning on the roof of the bus when it first broke down. Now that's hot. No really. (I can't find an image online, but I will keep looking.)
• There were lots of other scenes with shirtless cute boys too. YEA! I remember one of the headless boy after the Creeper tore off his head and all you see is his torso and thought, DAMN! ...that's a hot torso. I mean, that's some sexy footage, then his head was gone. YUCK! It brings new meaning to to "Give me head." ARGH!
  
• There were some slick things like the bus drivers name - Betty Borman. *hehe*
• I still don't know what the fuck the "Creeper" is, a bird, a dragon, whatvever it is, it's ugly and slimy. What a jip for the guy who played the Creeper, it's not like you can recognize him out on the street. If I did, I would run or wonder what I had just drank. I think he's a little related to the Jabberwocky, so I really am a little freaked out. The whole crustacean-like, dragon, mean, thing called a Jaberwocky/Jabberwocky, however the fuck, you spell is, is one of the few fictional characters that I really think I am frightened of. I think I have blogged about it before. (...that does not make it any less scary.)

The scariest part of the whole thing is, I will probably pick a few more horrible horror movies this week.
I can learn SOMETHING from them, right?

Movie Review - Rules of Attraction

Fabrice and I watched this movie last night called "Rules of Attraction".
I remember it when it was out at the theaters. I remember thinking, "I want to see that." but I never did.

It's a very sexy movie.
It's also very true in too many ways. It was sick.

One of the characters is played by Ian Somerhalder.
He plays this cocky, relationship missing gay boy. *sigh* All I have to say, he made me think the movie should have been called "Rules of DISTRACTION." Fuck, he's hot! He dances on the bed with his childhood friend who is fond of the drink while he's supposed to be "getting ready" for a dinner with his pill-popping mom and the scene (...at the right.) caused a scene in my pants.

Ian Somerhalder (How the FIUCK do you pronounce that? ...to me it looks like it needs to be pronounced SEXY!) needs to stop his hotness right now. He's B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!
See more of him using Google Images. (It's the red cheeks and eyes.)
There is one scene with a dead girl who was "overlooked" and it's obscene who true it is. When they flashback to all the scenes she was in before she killed herself graphically in the bathtub it's neauseating to see how often she was there and how the characters in the movie and the viewer overlooked her. ...that's a cinematic and often real life tragedy.

There is another scene where "Dawson" (James Van Der Beek) has a bruise and looks HOT! HOT! HOT!

The movie is full of short ideas (My ADD thanks the producers.) that totally lead up to one conclusion and point in life. I mean, I understood it, so you know it's got to be elementary.
It's crazy how things seem so disconnected and are not really.

I also liked that each characters separate story was tols coherently and then labeled. ...but they were all different. Victor's character had a story that really did have an important part and affected all the other ones, however, his story was told very quickly like it was a recap of a video vacation. ...unlike all the rest of the stories. That's like real life too, some peoples story, no matter how important it is, doesn't get told with justice and is compacted to fit in a space of life. I liked that statement in the film.

It's one that I can recommend and would go watch with you again and again.

My favorite part is the absolute end. The credit rolled backwards. FIERCE!

If I had one word for this movie, it would have to be sexy. It was sexy boys, sexy girls, sexy plot, real life sexy (...which does not always work out.) and sexy, sexy.
..and it's not just 'cause of Mr. Smouldering Hot Somerhalder that I would give this movie a good rating. (...but he helps.)

Movie Reviews - Hatchet

I saw the most awful horror movie yesterday. It was called Hatchet. I bought it at Wal-Mart 'cause it was only $9.95 and it was about New Orleans.

It's an old legend about Victor Crowley. the legend is that Victor was a disfigured kid whose father kept him locked up in a camp by the swamp. One day when the house caught fire and the dad tried to get Victor out of it with a hatchet, he got Victor in the face when he was trying to break open the door. Now you are still supposed to hear Victor calling for his dad and killing people with a hatchet.

The best past was the New Orleans scenery. ...and the idea that it was on a swamp tour.
I really liked the behind the scenes and the commentary, that was better then the movie itself.
The killing scenes were kinda cool. Lots of blood and crazy, unreal way that the people died like twisting arms off or pulling mouths apart. Gross. ...but cool.

There is alot of nudity. Girl nudity. Yuck.

Unless you are held at gunpoint and made to watch this movie, just fast forward through and chuckle at the killing scenes.

Movie Review - The Brave One

Last night, Jason Sechrest, Rusty and I went to see 'The Brave One' last night at Mann's Chinese Theater.

I really liked the movie. I definitely recommend it. (Unlike Halloween, which I saw the other night as well. Awful. ...very disappointing. Besides the very beginning scene where Michael beats up this other kid, it's sucked.)

It was very well crafted. Well enough that caught alot of what would happen. (Yea, so that says alot. It was probably written for third graders.) *wink*

It was bit gory at times, but for movies to keep up, they have to be these days.

I saw alot of, and I know you won't think I am biased when I say this, *wink* but Robin in it. I mean, in a nutshell, Jodie Foster's character wanted revenge. She was a vigilante. (I said early in the move the word and then later on in the movie, they slapped a newspaper down with the headline and Jason laughed. I thought it was 'cause he wanted to say, "Oh my God Brandon, you know a big word.) *wink* Robin was too, but it is also his and her weakness.

There were a couple of well played and well thought out scenes, one with Chloe in the hospital. You will know what I mean when you see and you will thank me for not spoiling it.

There was a lot of heartfelt emotion and alot of "understood" emotion. It's like I am with my friends. I just trust that they understand what I mean when I am confident they do. MOST of the time, I am right.

The message is all very real and although a bit "hyper-social "so that it can fit into a movie screening time allotment, I was very able to relate to alot of it. I think most people will be able to as well.
What do I mean by "hyper-social?" I mean, some of the things were hopped up so much that it was unbelievable. The camera pans down a row of cars in traffic and all of them are listening to a radio station with the same broadcast. Okay, you know in New York, it's not likely that most people are listening to the same radio station in traffic, but it does show that "Oh there is alot of attention on what the lady is saying." and most likely that the producers (which included Jody Foster herself.) wanted you to pay attention to what's she's saying as well. I get it. Hyper-social, over social, excess social, etc.

There was alot of moral messages in the movie too, but not too crazy.

I liked that in one of the market shooting scenes, Coca-Cola was the only thing in the fridges in the store. ...and they were all full. Each time the detectives drank, they drank "Dasani"water, which is Coca-Cola's brand.
I also saw that the ads were all for the heart association on the subway cars when they were in the subway. You could see them very clear in alot of the scenes.
There were a couple of foreshadowing ideas that I really liked too. One was when she was at the art show at the very beginning and she shes a store-front that she says is "peaceful" and ummmm... yeah, not so much later on. ...same storefront.

The prevalent idea of "How many wrongs does it take to make a right?" is hard to answer and is not something I want to have an answer for. It just makes you think alot about that. I can't stop today thinking about it.

I love that Jason and I have "movie night" every once in awhile. It's usually a Sunday when I am in town, which is not often actually. Rusty has joined us too and that makes me happy. I like that I can enjoy things like that with Jason. We do different things in alot of ways, we do same things in alot of ways, but regardless, I like that we take time out to do something that is just for us. Cool. (...for the record, "I still think Jason is a punk 60% of the time.") *wink*

Turistas

I watched the movie 'Turistas' last night after I arrived in the office in New York.
(It was kinda nice to watch the movie all by myself in the office apartment.)
I had been meaning to watch it since we had gone to Guatemala. In fact, I wanted to watch it while we were IN Guatemala. (...that would have been scary 'cause it was kind like that when we were in Guatemala.)

It's about a group of tourists and how they get stranded and then a deranged doctor harvests thier organs and sells them to rich people.
YIKE!
I am glad that didn't happen to us. (...not that Andy's liver would be much good.) (...and my brain, well useless comes to mind.) (Get it - comes to mind. Ouch, that's bad.) (I guess Angel's heart would have done someone some good.)

This movie poster says "There are some places tourists should not go." Can I get that list? 'cause I want to do some more trips like Guatemala.
I saw another psoter in Hollywood awhile back that I liked that looked like a tourist poster to "Visit Brazil" and it looked like someone spray painted on it, "Touristas Go home" - that's a hot movie poster. It looked like a real situation.

Now I keep wanting to sing the 'Fashionistas' song and plug 'Touristas' in where they say 'Fashionistas."

I am glad to have all my organs.

Drop Dead Goregous

I watched this cute movie with Fabrice the other night as we went to bed.

'Drop Dead Gorgeous' is a satire about a beauty pageant in a small Minnesota town.
It's filmed like a documentary and is drop dead funny. (It's kinda sickening to think of the truth's behind it.)
I laughed at how truthful the poking fun portions of the flick were. YIKE!

Kirstie Alley was hilarious.
When I saw her in this movie, you wouldn't know that she wasn't from Minnesota. Her "accent" is so well done.
It reminds me of when I saw Nicole Kidman in 'Stepford Wives'. When I saw her in the DVD extras, I thought, "Why is she speaking with that Australian accent?" Her English was so good in the movie, I had no idea English was was she was acting with.

Premonition Movie Review

Jason Sechrest, Rusty and I went to see the new movie Premonition last night. I think it was good.

I still can't understand it. I can't figure out if it was flashbacks, future dreams or really happening.

The definition of premonition is

A type of psychic phenomenon, a premonition involves an individual or individuals who has a vision or dream regarding an event which will occur in the future. They have been reported for centuries; the subjects of premonitions are varied. No properly conducted scientific studies support the existence of this alleged phenomenon, although history provides occasional anecdotal evidence. ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premonition

The movie stuck to that idea for sure.

My reccomendation for the movie: I had a thought before I went to see it and it was true - *wink* Don't rush out to see it, but it's not something that I would totally miss out on. You'll see what I mean. *hehe*

I think sometimes in hindsight, I have had a few inklings of something to come, and there are plenty of times, (TRUST ME) that I think of how I could have prevented things IF I had an idea of what was to come.
If I could wish for a superpower, I would not wish for premonitions. I like it the way it is. In fact, I would feel pretty sorry for someone who did have this ability.

I like that the premise of the movie is that everything happens for a reason. THAT I stand behind very strongly.
There was one scene in a church where Sandra Bullock's character is talking to a priest and alot of the main message of the movie is delivered. Even if I slept though the rest of the movie, and saw that part, I could have done okay.

I have to mention this too. My dad and I were in a video store and the trailer for "Speed" with Sandra Bullock came on. My dad said, "She's hot. I'd bone her." I was shocked. I said, "DAD!" and chuckled inside that he said that. *wink* I can't handle my dad talking like that. Dad's are not supposed to do that. ...that's all I could hear everytime I saw Sandra Bullock on the screen. YIKE!

The Omen

Rusty and I watched "The Omen" last night.
...that's not to be confused with our friend Omen. We did not watch him last night. (...NOT that I would mind watching him. He's hot.) Wait, I had enough watching him and NOT wanting to see him when he was with Andy. Yea, that's right, I don't want to watch him. *wink*
Though they both can be pretty scary, Rusty and I watched the 2006 version of the scary movie "The Omen."

I ordered it on the cable movie channel. I swear, I remember when the cable movies were like $24.95 each. Now it's only $3.95 for 24 hours of viewing. I can literally order it not get off the couch. I chose that one over 'Lady in the Water' because I wanted a scary thriller. Plus, I don't have to worry about getting the DVD back to the rental place. (Lord knows with all the time zone worries I have, I would get confused. *wink*)
...I am REALLY liking those kind of movies lately.

The stars of the movie are Liev Schreiber, Julia Stiles, and Seamus Davey Fitzpatrick. The latter one was the child star of the movie. I don't he had too many lines, in fact, I commented on that to Rusty. During the whole movie, I think he screams several times, he says, "They are scared." at the zoo and a few other minor scenes. He was really good at looking scary and serious though.

How do you cast your kid in that? I mean his mother or father probably took him to auditions. Can you imagine getting that call, "Yea, we want your kid to play Satan in a hot new movie."
I will say that the role of "Damien" (You know it's trouble when your kid is named that.) was scary.

(...by the way, Why do you have to capitalize Satan when you type his name?)

The movie has some awesome and pretty gruesome death scenes. It had AMAZING makeup. (Kyle would notice that, I think.) I am becoming a fan of blood in movies. ...this was one that I enjoyed.

The 2006 movie was a remake of an older one just like it.

I think some of the marketing was cool. For example, it was released on June 6th, of 2006. That's 06 of 06 of 06, or 666. (The number is viewed in religion as "The Mark of the Beast" and is identifying to evil. Find out more HERE.)

I do recommend this movie. I think the characters were well cast, the roles were believable. The storyline was well thought out and well explained. It seems pretty realistic for the most part. ...that's what scares me, when I think a movie that SHOULD be far-fetched can be explained and is scary.

Meet the Robinsons

I am excited about the movie that is coming up called, "Meet the Robinsons."

Check out the website, it is pretty hot! ...VERY well done. Go Disney!
www.MeetTheRobinsons.com.

I the chacacter named Dr. Krunklehorn looks like a pretty neat character.
www.MovieWeb.com says,

Dr. Krunklehorn is an inventor from Inventco Labs and one of the judges at Lewis school science fair. Her latest invention is the caffeine patch, which is like drinking twelve cups of coffee at once. She hasn't slept in days.

I think this movie looks really cute, pretty funny, very technologically interesting and overall "good". (...but then again so did "Zodiac.")

You can see for yourself at the website www.MeetTheRobinsons.com or this Apple Trailer.

Zodiac Movie Review

I have been so busy today that I totally forgot to blog. YIKE!

I have some pretty interesting stories from the weekend in Las Vegas.

Really quick - Jason Sechrest, Rusty and I went out to see the new movie "Zodiac". It's based on the true story of the killer in San Francisco.
My thoughts - not worth the time.
...and trust me, it drug on and on and on and on.
All the signs point to - ...not impressed.
Man, I was so excited about it, it looked so good.
I don't like being disappointed.
