I'd watch that. Looks a lot like the feel of the first movie. If you know that going in, I'm sure it'll be at least entertaining. Personally though, nothing beats the Resident Evil-series of movies for awesome cheesiness. Can't wait for #5 this Sept.

Well Kathleen (who is married to the franchise producer) runs LucasFilm these days and I think it may have been a nudge from Lucas to nix the idea. I'm speculating a bit, but I'm about certain Indy has ended on an unfortunately dumb note.

Yeah, they should've let it die to begin with and let the last one be 3.

Without a drop of sarcasm, is this movie set in Canada or is it just the lead's accent?

"This is the fifth school I've bean to"?

Oh yay. Pyramid Head appearing with out James Sunderland being present, Alessa Gillespie being some kind illnatured F.E.A.R copycat girl causing chaos and destruction with her psychokinetic powers, Heather having some stupid useless male sidekick (she's a teenage girl so there's gotta be a romance, right?), Silent Hill being full of people (again)...

Too bad they didnt follow the plot of the game. Sean Bean would've made a great Harry Mason if the movie had been done correctly. I reckon it will end up being like the first one. From a visual and even story point of view it was fairly well done, but they made stupid changes to the plot for no apparent reason. Looks like this movie follows the basic plotline of SH3, which is more that can be said about the new Resident Evil movies.

Yeah I know it looks like im contradicting myself when I say the movie doesnt follow the plot of the game and it does follow the plot of the game, but by that I mean that most of the basic story elements from the game(s) is present, but all the little details are fucked. Like in that trailer, there's Douglas following Heather, Heather going to Silent Hill, Harry dying(?), and it looks like there's both Claudia and Vincent. But it's very likely that the movie wont follow the whole storyline of SH3 and it replaces big parts of it with its own ideas (Alessa, sidekick boy, Pyramid Head etc). I think it's pretty safe to assume that the whole Heather having a demon inside her thing will be missing

I hope the movie ends like the game with the cheesy "dont you think blondes have more fun"-line

Paranormal Entity

It's bad. Really bad. But it's still entertaining nonetheless...

The son and mother's acting wasn't bad really. But the daughter... horrible.

Also...

Watch Grave Encounters instead...

In that case Harry would've died for sure...

I hope Machete kills lives up to original trailer. I love rodriguez, but if you want to gush about immigration, write a book, not a movie about a guy swinging out of a building using intestines.

Watched about five minutes of BEST BOY, and had to recompose myself. UP made me well up, BEST BOY is a documentary that is all too real and hits way too close to home for me, even without having a retarded son.

I've never, ever thought to myself, "I need a minute to myself" during a film until watching this. Seriously, I turned it off and will watch it tomorrow morning.If you've ever had to move someone you love out of a house under unfortunate circumstances, or have seen the pain in a loved one eyes who just lost someone they love...dear God. It's like reliving the worst parts of your life, and although the tears stream, you still smile just to remember the ones you love.

It's Friday, and I don't feel like being emotionally exhausted before the sun sets so I'll catch this tomorrow morning.

For all I know this could be like Bambi where all seems lost only to lead to a great ending (spoilers!) and I can see BEST BOY being a triumph, but right now I don't have it in me to finish this tonight. I've got friends, pizza, drinks, cigars, and poker to look forward to and BEST BOY doesn't fit my usual happy go lucky attitude (so far).

But BEST BOY may become one of my favorite docs of all time. Only a few minutes in and I was already captured. Check it out.

PETA is going to raise a shitstorm with the Lady Gaga poster.

The casting is nuts, but I'm already trying to get in line for a screener. Charlie Sheen as President? Sure, why not?

I've started to watch Grave of the Fireflies a few times. Knowing what it's about, each time I got a few minutes in and decided I didn't want to be all down after it was done. Now I don't have immediate access to it anymore and still haven't gotten to it.
