Brick

I watched the movie Brick last weekend. Great stuff.

"In a modern-day Southern California neighborhood and high school, student Brendan Frye's piercing intelligence spares no one. He's not afraid to back up his words with actions, and knows all the angles; yet he prefers to stay an outsider, and does - until the day that his ex-girlfriend, Emily, reaches out to him unexpectedly and then vanishes."

--I love the contrasts in this movie. Film Noir in Sunny California.

Another Summer Movie Schedule is Developing

V for Vendetta - Portman Peachfuzzed!
Basic Instinct 2 - Hotter than the first.
Mission: Impossible III - Big Effects
The Da Vinci Code - My expectations are too high.
X-Men: The Last Stand - X-Men Extravaganza!
Cars - Kids and Cars and Pixar Rocks.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - The last one was so good.
Ghost Rider - Great Comic.
Sin City 2 - Dont know if this will be worth it.

Another year.

It's 10:25am. The coffee is made and excellent. My DirecTV is on-line again. Everyone else is still sleeping. And I'm thinking about how to best spend the next year...

Resolutions:

Eat less. Exercise more. (yes me too)
Do something creative (Photography, Writing, Art, Video)
Worry less about Politics and more about Inner Peace
Spend more time outside.

It's a simple list. Simple is good. In fact if I had to boil everything down to one resolution it would have to simply be: Simplify

--Happy New Year

I Stand Alone

I actually liked it.

The cinematography was excellent. Beautiful camera work. The sepia tones gave it the feel.

Even the narration of the butchers decent into insanity was haunting.

Hard to watch? Yes. Disturbing? Yes.

I'm glad I watched it but wont be watching it again...

Serenity

It has been a long time since I have seen a great Sci-fi movie. Serenity broke the draught.

I already loved the characters. The movie made no attempt to retread the series. It made very brave plot moves. The special effect were excellent.

All it was missing was a serious sex scene, dammit!

The Hills Have Eyes

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Aaron Stanford, Kathleen Quinlan, Ted Levine and Vinessa Shaw are set to star in "The Hills Have Eyes," a remake of the 1977 Wes Craven horror.

The Fox Searchlight project is headed for a shoot in Morocco this month. The film will be directed by Frenchman Alexandre Aja, whose thriller "High Tension" just opened in North America; Craven will serve as a producer.

The story follows a vacationing family that makes a wrong turn in the desert and is terrorized by a cannibalistic clan.

Levine and Quinlan play the heads of the hapless family, Shaw plays one of their daughters and Stanford her husband.

Fox Searchlight picked up the project after it was shelved by Dimension Films, which already had set it up with Aja directing from a script he co-wrote with Gregory Levasseur.

Levine is a series regular on USA Network's "Monk" and recently completed shooting "Memoirs of a Geisha." Quinlan's recent credits include the A&E movie "The Riverman" and the Lifetime TV movie "Perfect Match."

After "The Hills Have Eyes," Stanford will segue into 20th Century Fox's "X-Men 3," in which he will reprise his role as Pyro in the franchise. Shaw most recently starred in "Melinda and Melinda." Her credits include "40 Days and 40 Nights" and "Eyes Wide Shut."
