A French Sci-Fi film set in NY, 2095. A pyramid appears in the sky above Manhattan inhabited by Egyptian gods. Horus is under judgement and has 7 days to preserve his immortality. He must find a compatible human to possess and find a mate. A woman appears in the city with no memory of her past. She has only one friend -John- who knows more than he admits. The film is by Enki Balil, a comic book creator.

It's different (I think??). The majority of the film - the backgrounds and most characters- are shot using 3D graphics. Like a video game with a few real people thrown in. At times the graphics are realistic but most of the time very obvious. I can only describe it as Brazil meets Final Fantasy. Not a bad movie, but not Oscar worthy either. If you want something different, it's worth the rent.

What a crazy little movie from the man, Vincenzo Natali, responsible for Cube. Isolation is obviously a prevalent theme for him as Nothing is about two social outcasts who struggle with modern living. As the world is crushing them, they suddenly discover they possess the ability to turn whatever ails them into nothing. To say more would spoil the fun. Worth seeing if you are looking for something offbeat.

One more thing, the finale is an incredibly funny fight scene that must be seen to be believed.

OK here is another movie I just watched from my Netflix habit.

This is an Aussie movie. Its a sort of zombie movie as you can tell by the title. For the first 3/4 of the movie it was hilarious. Tongue planted firmly in cheek with lots of crack up stuff. Some gore but actually super light for a zombie flick.

The only thing I didn't like about this movie was as it got to the end it seemed the writers/directors lost their way and it got really silly in not a good way.

Worth a watch if you like campy zombie flicks, first 3/4 of the movie especially.

Just watched "Millions". And have to say I really enjoyed this movie. It is the story of two Irish boys who right before the switch over to the Euro find a bag (or it finds them) full of Irish money.

The really funny thing in this movie (aside from a totally stereotyped potrayal of Mormons) is the younger brother has this obsession with Saints and throughout the movie has imaginery conversations with assorted Saints and while doing it he rattles off their stats like he is talking about his favorite baseball players.

Much more whimsical then I had expected but I enjoyed it none the less.

Saw this movie today; it's a retelling of Red Riding Hood, viewed through the eyes of the principal characters: Riding Hood, the Wolf, Granny, and the Woodsman. It works as film noir for kids, with a few laughs for the grown ups. It's not up there with Chicken Little, but it's funnier than Shark Tale (but what isn't?).

I recently discovered a fact about myself. I am allergic to red dye. I am not sure what number it is, but if I consume any product containing this colorful additive I suffer severe abdominal cramping, nausea, and vomiting.



I recently discovered another fact about myself. I have the same allergic reaction to Red Eye.



This Wes Craven directed thriller, and I use the term loosely, is an abomination of film making and script writing. On the plus side the film had a very short running time clocking in just under an hour and a half. Thank God that the screenwriters involved in this plane wreck had the decency to bail out before the 2 hour mark.



The first rule of any thriller is that it should be thrilling, the suspense should be believable and you should care about the character in turmoil. All aspects mentioned here were missing from this film.



The plot is flimsy; there is never any sense of impending doom. Nothing is explained and the "terrorist act" unfolding came across as more of an annoyance, much like a hangnail.



I won't go into plot details or even state who acted in this film because I am sure they have already removed it from their resume. It should be sufficient enough to say that this airline thriller was such a bomb that if you had it in your carry-on aboard a flight, your name would be placed on the top of the do not fly list, just above Cat Stevens.



Skip it, if it comes on Cable call your local provider and cancel service. If it ever plays on network television it should be delegated to a late night time slot on the UPN where usually only infomercials for proactiv acne solutions air. And that is still being too kind.

I have several versions of The Tomb. It is my favorite. Of course I am most proud of my signed limited Whispers Press version. I also have Rakoshi limited, The UK 1st hardcover, and maybe the neatest (thanks a million to my friend Kenji) the Japanese version. I don't read Japanese, but it is just too cool.

What I want to know is, did Whisper's press make a trade hardcover version of The Tomb (one that is not signed or numbered)? I'd like to get one if there is one. I never see it for sale, but on Abe there are several, from Whispers Press, (too expensive of course) that do not mention a signature or limitation.

Just wondering.

Just bought seasons 1 and 2 at Wal-Mart for $20 each. Any fans of this show better hurry before they sell out. Great price for full season dvds. Unfortunately I haven't been able to watch any of the new season because I moved to an area without cable service, and satellite wants a 1 year contract. I don't plan on living here that long so I'm stuck with antenna channels for at least 6 months (my lease term). I feel so primitive.

Pretty sick and relentlessly grim. Don't see this unless you're a true-blue gorehound. Even then, think twice, because it foists a cliched twist on you toward the end that's supposed to give it some sort of lame existential cachet. It doesn't. Your reaction won't be, "Cool!" It'll be, "WTF?" Except for the relentless gore, the first three-quarters is a shameless rip-off of Dean Koontz's novel Intensity. Dean could have brought suit, but after seeing it he decided he didn't want his name associated with it in any way.
