LINK TO TRAILER

Starring Repairman Reynolds, this looks like a pretty funny film. Reminds me of Stranger Than Fiction from the trailer.

Looks good.

My copy of Black Wind just arrived! I cleaned out someone's collection of old paperbacks and had it shipped, and wow. It's in great condition.

And yes, the front cover is intact. I refuse to buy stripped covers.

I shall now disappear for a day (or two - stupid flu bug thingee) to read.

Just now I was watching CNN news and I heard Roy Scheider died.

Roy Scheider, the actor best known for his role as a police chief in the blockbuster movie "Jaws," has died. He was 75.

The Last movie of his I've seen, it was "The Punisher"...

The Italian
I just rented this Russian movie and it was a really heartwarming sweet movie.

It is about a little 6 year old russian orphan who is about to be adopted by a well to do Italian couple, and is the envy of the other orphans. When he gets it in his head that if he is adopted and his birth mother comes looking for him she wont find him.

It is nice to see a well written and plotted movie every once in awhile.

As a favor to a friend I had just burned a dvd copy off laserdisc of one of my favorite Sherlock Holmes films-"STUDY IN TERROR" (where Holmes ends up on the trail of Jack The Ripper). I thought we can all have some fun naming our favorite Holme's tales (and other detectives) in print and on screen.

[SIZE="3"]Watched this again last night. It's even better on re-viewing. But I was struck this time by how much Mr. Incredible's boss looks like Stephen King. Anyone else see what I'm talking about?[/SIZE]

You can bid on an original sketch of Paul by George Barr on Ebay. The picture from the auction has been attached

My favorite thing about Jack so far is his ability to think stuff up on the fly to foil his nemisis. It is often funny as hell and very effective. The Santa Claus Scene is the best followed by the tires with the Thurston Howe III Voice. I am up to Gateways as of present. I really got to know how do you think these things up FPW ?--------Mark

Today after I saw American Gangster, I saw "The Water Horse".

It was very lovely film and I like it! The story is simple. A lonely boy discovers a mysterious egg. It's a sea creature of Scottish legend.

Some scenes reminded me of E.T. You'll see find out. Maybe someone will say "ripped-off from E.T.", but....who care?


That famous photo, Loch Ness's monster. Now we know it was a fake. But this movie says "The Monster" existed. An old man talk about that story to young couples. But the time was WW II, and that story was a bit sad. Like a "Pan's Labyrinth", war destroy everything.
