A Presentation: Turning Ideas into Reality

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

I happened to come across a link from a Twitter contact and friend I met through Startup Houston, Marc Nathan. Marc linked to an interesting presentation, “The Force Behind Star Wars: Turning Ideas into Reality,” that is a mashup of User Experience (UX) and Star Wars. The presentation uses George Lucas’ struggles to […]

Preview: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

At 66 years old, some (including me) might think that Harrison Ford is just a wee bit old to be playing Indiana Jones. Heck, after watching this teaser trailer, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. The fourth (and final?) Indiana Jones movie, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, […]

Cloverfield is almost here!

Friday, December 21st, 2007

I’ve been following this whole Cloverfield movie thing since I first heard about in on Ain’t It Cool News back in June. Rather than rehash all the sites and underground buzz about it, I’ll just point you to Wikipedia, which covers it in pretty good detail. Just in case you haven’t heard about […]

Get a shave and haircut from Sweeney Todd

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

There is a famous saying: “Revenge is a dish best served cold”. One of my favorite revenge scenes in a movie is in Fatal Attraction, when Michael Douglas’ character’s wife returns from the backyard to find their pet rabbit dead, in a pot of boiling water on the stovetop. Glenn Close plays a […]

Are you for or against the WGA Strike?

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

Unless you happen to live under a rock, you’re probably aware that the Writers Guild of America (or WGA) has been on strike since November 5th, 2007. As I understand it, the issue at the heart of the strike is royalties on digital media. Are you for or against the WGA strike? […]

Battlestar Galactica: Razor

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

Don’t forget that Battlestar Galactica returns tonight, in all it’s glory, with a 2 hour mini-movie, Razor. In what I can only assume is an attempt to remind fans that the series is not dead, the Sci Fi channel has been releasing a “flashback” video featurette each week at http://www.scifi.com/battlestar. There are a […]

A Prevew: Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead

Saturday, November 17th, 2007

While browsing one of my favorite movie trailer sites, Apple (maybe you’ve heard of it?), I came across what looks like a very interesting movie, “Before the Devil KnowsYou’re Dead.” Although I haven’t seen any promotion for the movie, it looks like it opened in limited release in New York City and Los Angeles […]

No Country for Old Men

Saturday, October 27th, 2007

I’ve posted several times about movies in the past, most recently, here and here. Once again, while browsing one of my favorite movie blog sites, Dark Horizons, I came across an ad for the upcoming movie, “No Country for Old Men.” The ad looked interesting and I thought that the movie title was… […]

Free DVD Rental from Redbox

Sunday, October 7th, 2007

Now, if my previous post about TiVo and Amazon Unbox and their $0.99 digital movie rentals wasn’t cheap enough for you, I’ve got something just a tad bit better. How about a free DVD rental? Now folks, this is a little old school - you’ll need to go to the nearest Redbox location […]

The Darjeeling Limited

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

I’ll admit it. I’m a fan of quirky and odd movies, and anyone who loves quirky movies is no stranger to Wes Anderson. For those that aren’t familiar with him, he responsible for movies such as Rushmore, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Royal Tenenbaums, and my favorite, Bottle Rocket. He also happens […]
