Fuso must have heard you. They're resuming the RJ series in Japan. They just contracted for Crisscross.

David Fincher is best known for "Seven" and "Fight Club." Both movies were very harsh and brutal. But once Robert Zemekis made wonderful movie, "Forrest Gump", and now David Fincher made fantastic film.

That's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button".


Today I saw this movie, and I really enjoyed it. I highly recommend this to all of you. Everything were excellent. Acting, story and dialogues, camera-angles, music, set-decorations...especially, Cate Blanchett 's acting was her best.






Benjamin Button was [SPOILER]born in 80-year-old's body, and he died 0-year-old's body. Even if his life was different than other people, it's also "life", after all. I thought his life was wonderful.[/SPOILER]

I've been waiting to see something on this movie for a while. Comes out in April.

Haha I'm sure everyone is screaming "Hell Yes!", but I'm not referring to the character - he couldn't be any more awesome.
I just mean that the name "Repairman Jack" sounds kinda dorky. When I first came upon these books this summer I was drawn to them by their cool covers. I read the back of one and honestly when I saw that the guys name was "Repairman Jack" I put it down. Fortunately I decided to research the books and after all the positive reviews I gave The Tomb a chance. I'm glad I did because this is my favorite series of all time. I'm only on Crisscross but am really enthralled (especially after finishing Gateways yesterday...WOW). But really I almost didn't give this series a chance. Do you think the hero's name greatly reduces the chance of RJ becoming mainstream? This would be especially importanat if a movie ever gets made (altough I'd much rather a show on HBO or Showtime ala True Blood/Dexter) I can't actually come up with anything better and now I don't think its all that bad...but from a newbies perspective it isn't really the best don't you think?

I like it.

An odd idea hit me on the way home from work, sort of a comic superhero vs superhero spin. If any of you have not read Steppenwolf by Herman Hesse, I apologize, as the following may therefore seem somewhat unintelligible. I also should not admit that I haven't had a chance to read the latest in the series, so please excuse any potential conflict.
Suppose Jack is led to the magic theater, whether by accident or design, possibly being guided by the map previously aquired in Gateways. Within of course is the multitude of rooms denoting various aspects of the psyche, however supose he was followed. This makes for an interesting conflict given various aspects of his persona, both young and current, are thrown free to interact without conscious edit. Imagine jack entering a room shortly before a minion of Rasalom enters, only to see himself enmeshed in a conflict from a 3rd person; he begins to realize an endgame of permutations regarding his own deepest self. It is at this point that he may come accross Harry Haller, aka steppenwolf who provides the metaphysical foundations for this place of "being out of time" whereupon our deepest souls transgress upon the realm of the otherness. Jack is then ejected from the theater, as the minion is potentially forever held within the theater bound by it's own madness. As sort of a purgatory if you will.
The fun thing about this is that the majority of the novel could revolve around a pseudo-dream sequence whicn ultimately impinges upon a much larger reality. He may learn that the adversary really has no concept of us, that this worlds connection is much more tenuous and less apocopyptic that he has thus far believed. That the conflict centers around him only as a result of his awareness of it.

The FPW newsletter that I received a few days ago says that the signed limited edition of Ground Zero will be published in "Spring 2009," but the Gauntlet Press website says "Summer 2009". Which is correct? (Amazon doesn't even have this book listed as a preorder yet).

I realized a couple years ago I hadn't seen him in anything in quite some time. I just saw a preview to the next ep of Law and Order: SVU and there was this old guy who looked kinda sorta familiar. I thought he was the same old man who was in Law and Order: Classic who was losing his marbles and killed his wife in one ep, but no. It was Dabney Coleman. I think the last time I saw him was that comedy about him being a cop trying to get killed on the job. He got so old!

i saw "Taken" over the weekend and I was blown away. There is not much to the story, in fact, the commerical is pretty much it.

A young woman gets kidnapped and her estranged father goes after her and the men who took her. He exacts vengence in one awesome scene after another.

The film takes the question "What would you do if your child was kidnapped" and answers it with a resounding "I would make them pay."

This film puts Liam Neeson in an entirely different role than we have seen him before. Concerned father, bad-ass action hero. The way he delivers his lines with the utmost calm is perhaps the mst disturbing aspect of his character. Shortly after the daughter is kidnapped (he hears it transpire over the phone), the kidnapper picks up the phone and Neeson hears him breathing. Calmly Neeson advises:

"If you want Ransom I have no money. But what I do have is a certain set of skills I have acquired over the years in my line of work. Skills that make it very dangerous for people like you. If you let my daughter go I will move on as if this never happened. If you harm her, I will hunt you...I will find you...and I will kill you."

There is a moment of silence when the voice on the other end replies. "Good luck."

In that moment neeson made his decision and it is the kidnappers who need luck.

Taken is a great action flick filled with great fighting, car chases and enough suspense to keep you riveted.

You'll say "Wow!". Just check this out.
