I think Quantum of Solace was very well put together and I'm going to be buying the Blu Ray. I'm not one who minds that the storyline coincides with Casino Royale, nor do I mind that BA chase seen in the beginning of the movie. I'm really one who didn't like GoldenEye though. Heck, I think the only Bonds I could watch are with Daniel Craig.

Casino Royale was a very good Bond movie, and a decent, fun action flick overall. I thought Quantum of Solace was a piece of crap masquerading as a Bourne entry.

I just saw some neat screenshots from a new horror movie coming out called Splice, here is the description

 

Splice revolves around two geneticists (played by Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley) who decide to throw ethics out the window and experiment with splicing together the genes of a human with that of animals. They illegally create a hybrid and try to hide her from the world.

I normally don't do horror flicks, as most of them are just bad (IMO). But I have to say, this looks intriguing. And I do like del Toro's stuff.

Del Toro is the new Jim Henson if you ask me. With quite a twisted side, of course.

Did you see Pan's Labirynth? Twisted indeed.

 

I think his first big US film was Mimic, right? Considering that he had to work with a patently absurd and laughable premise, and a horrible script (especially the ending), I was impressed at how effective he managed to be with presenting the creatures as strangely believable.

I loved Pans Labrynth. I found myself watching it on HBO-L the other day with no subtitles and I didnt even care, and I dont even understand spanish. Not even a little bit. I really loved both Hellboy movies as well

On Thursdays, I work split shifts, 4:30am-10am than 5pm-10pm. When I get home after my first shift, I usually put in a movie and take a nap.

 

Today, I chose something I hadn't watched in a LONG time. SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION. I didn't get to take my nap.

That is the greatest movie of all time. I get the chills every time I watch it. It brings such a feeling of joy, its euphoric. That is one movie that when it's on I'll always watch.

Jo Bros.

 

But seriously, Coraline is the only movie playing that I kinda want to see but I haven't had the chance to see it yet.

 

I thought Tim Burton was connected to that movie, but after researching it, it appears that he isn't. Either way, this movie really smacks of Tim Burton. And honestly, Tim Burton and his pictures creep me the f*** out and give me an uneasy feeling.

Yeah, that's what I had thought too. Apparently, the director also directed The Nightmare Before Christmas, which I had always thought Burton directed, but he just wrote and produced it.

I watched Joaquin Phoenix on Letterman. Too funny.

 

Saw Zack & Miri Make a Porno and Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist. The second one reminded me of High Fidelity, but not nearly as good...more of a 15-25 year old audience for that movie, although good soundtrack.

 

I'm really starting to like Elizabeth Banks. Jason Mewes was strange to watch in that one too, after seeing his normal Jay/Silent Bob routine.

 

Seth Rogen should ride his moment in the limelight and milk it for all it's worth for as long as he can, lol. I do like him more than say, John C. Reilly, as a leading man...but still prefer him as a supporting actor. I guess Knocked Up had its moments as well, but I was never convinced SuperBad was the greatest teen movie in the history of the world.

 

I'm not even convinced SuperBad is much better than Can't Hardly Wait.

This isn't directed by Del Toro by the way, so don't get too excited.

 

I know, he had a hand in the production. And for that I will get a little excited

Well, the inevitable happened...just as Freida Pinto broke up with her fiance, Megan Fox finally dropped poor Brian Austin-Green of 90210 fame. If he had managed to marry her about 2 years ago, he would be set, with all those potential earnings from the Transformers series. It's like the Reese Witherspoon/Ryan Philippe or Jennifer Garner/Scott Foley thing...the law that stars should be very close in "prestige/power" or one will have to leave the other.

I dont think BAG was counting on Megan Fox to be his cash cow. And the same for Foley and Phillippe. All three of those guys have made plenty of money on their own

The question, I guess, is "how much is plenty?" and whether they saved any or all of it. Rumor is China's Zhang Ziyi never dates a guy with less than a billion dollars, lol.

 

I would think B.A.G. might have the best situation of the three, with the seemingly two decade long residuals from 90210 episodes. I guess it's rough for the former gang, Jason Priestly and Luke Perry have pretty much stalled out in their careers, and Ian Ziering was dumped by his Playmate wife.

 

Who would have thought ten years ago the most successful member of that show would turn out to be Hilary Swank?

I can't believe you know this much about 90210. I had to google all of those guys.

saw In Bruges after much pestering from friends - loved it.

Even people who dislike Colin Farrell (myself included) have to agree that he was awesome in that movie. Definitely one of my favorite movies of 2008.

It's because he plays a dickhead in it. For people who don't like him (like myself), it makes for a good character.
