You Know What...

I don't feel like watching a movie that doesn't have a massive kraut body-count by the end.

The Sci-Fi Gods are Smiling Upon Us

First Star Trek, then Moon and now District 9.

Empty Promises to an Imaginary Audience

This is an exciting weekend for movies. Hopefully I will be able to write about them all (and some of the great shit I've seen in my 4 month absence). Anyways, here's my viewing schedule for this weekend:

District 9
Degrassi Goes Hollywood
Thirst
Ponyo
The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard

Belated RIP John Hughes

First and foremost all respect and sympathies must be paid to the now late John Hughes. I can't believe I'm just posting this on here now but I really haven't been in the blogging mood. News of his death saddened me. Hughes was one of the first writer/director/producer's I ever cared/knew about. Sixteen Candles was one of the first movies that perpetuated my late initiation and ever-growing interest and obsession with film. I always loved Ferris Bueller and the Vacation movies as a kid. We all loved his movies. It was truly great to see amount of concern and attention paid to him, particularly on the internet.

Flashback showings in the OC!

This is super late to consider it promoting but oh well, i want to make more of an effort to write in this blog and I'll start with this.  I'm pumped to be seeing Trainspotting for the first time at the Rancho Niguel theatre.  If anyone sees this within the hour you should definitely go!  Katie and I went last week to watch Pulp Fiction and it was a ton of fun and on a gorgeous print.  However, there were not a lot of people there and they are taking a loss with this classic film series... I want it to keep going so if you can make it out please do!  Anyways, I'll write about this and all the other amazing films I haven't written about either soon.
