I like this featurette because it tells about the human side of  Avatar.  The movie keeps getting better and better.

Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief  is looking good. I like the special effects and it seems the characters play well off each other well.  I like Pierce Brosnan’s character. I am not sure who he is, but it’s a stretch for Brosnan and he does a good job.

Oh man, this movie is creepy.  I would not want to be human in this social system.  I’d gladly be a vampire. 

Daybreakersstars Ethan Hawke who plays Edward Dalton, a researcher in the year 2019, in which an unknown plague has transformed the world’s population into vampires. As the human population nears extinction, vampires must capture and farm every remaining human, or find a blood substitute before time runs out. 

However, a covert group of vampires makes a remarkable discovery, one which has the power to save the human race

Brad Pitt’s Plan B shingle is working on the development a film version of the upcoming video game Dark Void with Pitt possibly starring as the lead combatant. No writers have been hired as yet.

Void follows a cargo pilot named Will (Pitt’s presumed character) who, after crashing in the Bermuda Triangle, ends up in a parallel universe where a band of humans must fight an alien threat they had long been thought extinct. Will and the other humans are outmanned but have a number of weapons and powers to help them beat back the alien invasion.

In January, the game will be released for Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Now, it is obvious that video games are not always successful at the box office like Max Payne. Dark Void, as a game, was purposely developed to appeal to wide-screen mindsets in which they see a world full of adventure in cinematic scope and magnitude.

Some of you can’t stay up late and watch the late, late shows of television. That said, tonight Jimmy welcomes Twilight’s leading lady – Kristen Stewart.  After last night’s appearance on Jay Leno – Taylor Lautner mentioned that Kristen has quite a throwing arm.  

Tonight- Jimmy tests her skills in part three of the interview!  Also, in two parts, we have the full interview with Kristen – including her discussing Martha Stewart’s Robert Pattinson dream, her big plans for Thanksgiving and plenty of exciting New Moon details. 

Patty (101) won the movie and her kids will love it.

I really recommend getting this DVD for your kids. My daughter and her four friends watched Aliens in the Attic  and they loved it all. Even the bloopers were awesome.

The movie takes place during summer vacation, but the Pearson family kids are stuck at a boring lake house with their nerdy parents. That is until feisty, little, green aliens crash-land on the roof, with plans to conquer the house AND Earth! Using only their wits, courage and video game-playing skills, the youngsters must band together to defeat the aliens and save the world — but the toughest part might be keeping the whole thing a secret from their parents!

The scene most talked about was when the adults were being controlled by the kids via remote controls. The kids had the two adults fighting each other with the kids flipping them, getting the parents to do anything they wanted them to do.

The cast includes Doris Roberts (“Everybody Loves Raymond”), Andy Richter (“The Conan O’Brien Show”), Kevin Nealon (“Weeds”), Tim Meadows (Mean Girls) and Gillian Vigman (The Hangover), as well as rising young star Ashley Tisdale (High School Musical).

After my daughter’s friends left, she asked if she could watch the movie, again, and did with just as much enjoyment.

So we’ve got a strange bit of news roaming around about the fourth installment of Spider Man, and it comes to us by way of a casting announcement that was made.  Check THIS out:

[TODDLER BOY]

2 or 3 year old boy to play 2 year old, Caucasian with RED HAIR, an adorable toddler with an engaging personality, on set experience preferred. IDENTICAL TWINS ONLY

…yeah.  Two year old Caucasian with red hair.  We’re all pretty much aware that Mary Jane has red hair…so is it possible at this point that Spider Man might become Spider Dad?  That’s entirely possible too, though it does kind of go against the established canon a bit.

Though let’s be honest…the established canon is in such tatters that there really isn’t a “going against it” at this point.  For crying out loud, Spidey’s been retconned so many times it’s not even funny any more.  He just sold his soul to Mephisto like ten, twelve issues ago.

So why not? Why not have Peter become a dad?

Well, despite a whole lot of stops and starts, and the arrest of the original series’ writer, it seems that Silent Hill 2 may not be completely dead.  In fact, it’s so alive that they’re projecting a release date…in 2010.

Dig the word from the series’ designer:

“I was working on storyboards for that around the same time last year…It’s going to be pretty crazy. There’s a lot of cool stuff in there. Roger (Avary) has some awesome ideas and hopefully we’re going to bring that to fruition sometime next year.”

Yeah…too bad Roger (Avary)’s in lockdown, buddy.  But hey, if Roman Polanski can engineer his movie from prison then maybe Roger Avary can drop some notes down or something.  Stranger things have happened, and many of them have happened to us.

I have to admit, I’d kind of like to see where they go with it.  After the miserable ending the last one had, I have no idea what they’re planning to do.  There’s not even much of anything they CAN do.  I mean, two of the three mains are ghosts of some kind and the third is sort of, well, still around.

So what can they do?  I don’t know. And that intrigues me.

Nine is looking molto buono! 

Kate Hudson can belt out a song! She is very talented and brings the house down.  I find this trailer an extraordinary display of using film to create a story with color to black and white and back to color, and the sharp cuts of all the women in Guido Contini’s life.  Spettacolare movie!

We watch Daniel Day-Lewis, who looks so much like Contini, as his world comes crumbling down after crisis, after crisis, balancing all these women in his life.

Well Ho Ho Ho!  Guess who’s playing Santa this holiday season?

The new CGI animated title Gotta Catch Santa Claus  – featuring none other than William Shatner himself as the voice of Santa and the captain of the most important sleigh in the world! 

I don’t know if this will become a modern-day holiday classic because both my husband and daughter found the movie too modern and kind of weird because the kids in the movie were not wearing winter clothes in the snow. The characters didn’t set a good example of how children should behave. Yet, the movie is being promoted as funny, contemporary and enjoyable for the entire family and features six jolly jammin’ new holiday songs. My daughter commented that the songs are not all that great either. She also told me about a department store Santa Claus who picked up kids and was mean to the kids as the parents took a pictures. By the time they get off his lap, they started crying. 

Any-Ho! The story centers on a friend who starts to doubt the idea of Santa Claus, 12 year old Trevor sets out on a mission to catch old St. Nick in order to prove his existence and put the skeptics to rest.  Gotta Catch Santa Claus, which will be broadcast nationally on ABC Family during their annual “25 Days of Christmas” programming block, features bonus materials on the DVD that include deleted scenes, behind the scenes Santa footage, sing-along songs and more! 

Screenhead has a copy of Gotta Catch Santa Clausto give away.  Post your name to have a chance at winning the DVD. Screenhead will pick the winner Sunday, December 10, 2009.
