Serenity free - first 9 minutes

Serenity free - first 9 minutes: "I've seen it, so I haven't watched the first nine minutes that are free online from Vividas! through Coming Soon, but please feel free to. Check out the review I wrote after the Edinburgh Film Festival Premiere."

How Star Wars Should Have Ended

How Star Wars Should Have Ended: "For the life of my I can't remember where I found this link, but I just had to share it with you guys. I came across this deadly (can you believe I just said 'deadly'?) website called How It Should Have Ended (www.howitshouldhaveended.com). Right now they have 5 short animations up portraying how they think certain movies SHOULD have ended. They have animations for Se7en, Braveheart, Star Wars Episode IV, Saving Private Ryan and The Matrix Revolutions. Easily the 2 best (in my opinion) are the ones for Braveheart and Star Wars. You can see the Star Wars one here, and the Braveheart one here. Do go on over to the site and check it out"

Serenity Number 1 In The UK

Serenity Number 1 In The UK: "I don't know... maybe the UK film going audience has better taste in movies than we do in North America. At any rate, the sci-fi film Serenity is number 1 at the box office in the UK at the moment... putting in a much better showing over there than it is here in North America. I'm still a little stunned by it's weak performance. It's not an Oscar worthy film by any stretch of the imagination... but it's a solid quality film. And no... I wasn't a fan of the TV series. I never even saw the show until 2 weeks before the movie came out. Joss Whedon needs all the ego boost he can muster right now after the beating Serenity has taken at the box office so far. And the Wonder Woman camp must be a little nervous right now too... I bet they thought that Whedon's name alone would have mustered up more box office buzz than it has. It'll be interesting to see how that turns out."

Snakes on a Plane on blogs

Snakes on a Plane on blogs: "Filed under: Movie Marketing, Action & Adventure, ComedySnakes on a Plane. I think it's safe to say that this is the most hotly anticipated film currently in production. The other day, Ray Pride did a round-up of the hysteria that's currently sweeping the blogosphere. First, go here to get your beautifully didactic Snakes on a Plane t-shirt, and then cruise over to Snakes on a Blog, an entire Live Journal devoted to 'the #1 movie of next summer, guaranteed.' Yes, someone has taken it opon themselves to do nothing but aggregate Snakes on a Plane 'news'. My favorite item is this excerpt from Snakes star/executive producer Samuel L. Jackson, in regards to the title's change from Pacific Air Flight 121:Beaks: One of those films that you’re working on right now is... well, it’s called 'Pacific Air 121'—Jackson: Snakes on a Plane, man!Beaks: Exactly.Jackson: We’re totally changing that back. That’s the only reason I took the job: I read the title.Beaks: Snakes on a Plane! That’s everything!Jackson: You either want to see that, or you don’t.Exactly. Also worth noting on Snakes on a Blog: comics, posters, and the stunning proof that the combination of snakes and airplanes really does portend the end of the world as we know it – straight from the lips of Michael St"

Bond Announcement Watch: 11 Hours and Counting

Bond Announcement Watch: 11 Hours and Counting: "Filed under: Action & Adventure, Casting, Fandom, Newsstand, RumorMonger, SonyThe maniacs over at Commander Bond - the sort of fans who are so devoted that they probably need medals - have dug up not only the location of tomorrow's big Who Is Bond? press conference, but the event's time, as well. Are you starting to tingle with excitement?All will be revealed at 12 GMT tomorrow - on a giant, WWI spy boat, the HMS President. Though the vessel (Mmm...nautical terms) has been reduced to a moored place to eat and drink tea, in its former life it was a formidable beast employed as part of a fleet of warships disguised as civilian boats. Though they looked ordinary on the outside, the President and her class - known as Q-boats - were secretly armed to the teeth, which enabled them to track and destroy German U-Boats.Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I'm pretty sure this is the uptight studio version of bling.  Read Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments Ads by Google"

Master Chief NOT in Dead or Alive 4

Master Chief NOT in Dead or Alive 4: " At least according to this month's Game Informer. There's been speculation that the Halo hero would be making a cameo as a playable character in the upcoming DOA. Instead, a female stand-in called Spartan-458 will be filling the spot. The character basically looks like Master Chief, but apparently has things like boobs. 'Perhaps we'll finally get a look under a Spartan's helmet?' wonders Game Informer. Why go half way and not put in our guy? The rational for having a M.C. look alike is puzzling, but does make sense in the context of DOA. Maybe we will get that peak under a Spartan's helmet. Still not sure how to chalk this one up. Tomonobu Itagaki and Team Ninja either have a wicked sense of humor or are a bunch of cock teases. See Another Scan Here [ Xbox 365]"
