I’ve been wanting to explore a bit of Asian cinema, especially anime. Many of them fall in my favorite genre, fantasy/scifi. This movie, about a cursed prince who travels west to ask the Forest Spirit to heal him, had made quite a few Top Ten lists the year it was released. It also has a lushous soundtrack that I had heard on the internet. Read more

Finally! Back in a theater after being thwarted by my schedule, my budget, & the lack of movies I actually want to see being released. State of Play wasn’t really high on my must list but it has a great cast so The Flick Chicks gave it a look-see. Read more

In honor of April 15th, I’m posting this review of Stranger than Fiction. I’ve not viewed it recently but I own it & it’s one of my favorites. If you’ve already completed your mad dash to the post office, swing by the video store & pick up a copy. Or come by my apartment & borrow mine. I’ll be watching Lost. Sshhh. No talking. Read more

I have loved the television version of The Scarlet Pimpernel since high school. It came out 27 years ago. And I am officially old.
What I Liked: This is romance at its best. Intrigue, adventure, agonizing obstacles. There are moments in the story when you want to yell at the screen, “Turn around!” or “Tell him!” Sigh. Read more

Having seen Good Night and Good Luck on my RDJ list, I decided to add some George Clooney movies to my queue. And this Oscar nominated thriller was next.
What I Liked: Quite a lot. This is an intelligent, smooth thriller. The story quietly moves along letting the tension rumble beneath the surface. Read more

Some tidbits from the world of upcoming projects.
New & Old News: Struggling to get on its feet is an on again/off again Robin Hood production called Nottingham that has the potential to be awesome if it can get its act together. It currently has Ridley Scott attached to direct and his old pal Russell Crowe to star. There was a rumor circulating for a while that Crowe would actually play both Robin Hood and the Sherriff of Nottingham but the movie is apparently moving in a more traditional direction now with Crowe only playing the hero.
