Some news...

Hey guys. Sorry for no post yesturday, more on that though later...here are a few pieces of news you all should know about...

-Werner Herzog and David Lynch...two of the best directors working today, are teaming up for the new film My Son, My Son...here is brief insight into that film from Yahoo!...

Directors Werner Herzog and David Lynch are teaming for “My Son, My Son,” a horror-tinged murder drama based on a true story. Herzog and his longtime assistant director Herbert Golder co-wrote “Son,” loosely based on the true story of a San Diego man who acts out a Sophocles play in his mind and kills his mother with a sword.

The low-budget feature will flash back and forth from the murder scene to the disturbed man’s story. A guerrilla-style digital video shoot on location is tentatively set for March. Lynch is executive producing the project.


Can you say masterpiece?!?!?!?!?!

-Looks like a 21 Jumpstreet will be getting a theatrical adaptation...
-As goes for Goosebumps...
-The synopsis for Saw V has been released...
The studio says that in the fifth installment, Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) is seemingly the last person alive to carry on the Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) legacy. But when his secret is threatened, Hoffman must go on the hunt to eliminate all loose ends.

What is Lionsgate thinking? Oh, I know. That everyone will go and see this. Well please don't. I know I won't...I am saying right here, that this will be the worst movie of 2008 AND that the Saw series will go down as one of the worst of our generation. Really, tell me what redeeming value do these and other torture porn films have? It's just blood, tits, and gore for the sake of b t and g. Now, I am going to get down from my high horse, and here is some more news...

-Rumors are going around, and I here that Mike Judge himself has said this, that Bevis and Butt-head will be back on the big screen, this time, in a LIVE ACTION feature...discuss...
-My favorite piece of info...as of next week, it should be official that DANIEL DAY LEWIS, the brilliant actor/shoe maker, will be taking over for Javier Bardem in the upcoming musical Nine...i'm already in line for that movie...


Now, as some of you may know, I was, for this past year, a political science major. It has since changed to Journalism, but I still try to follow politics as much as my 6-2:30 work schedule and other things will allow. So, you know I had to jump at the chance to go see my favorite politician, one that is probably the main reason I was a Poli Sci Major, Barack Obama. Now, I don't want to really get into a discussion over any heavy issues, as, well, this is the same guy who says that the U.N. should have the final say in any military action we want to take, so I am pretty far left. I'm not here to discuss views (if you want to though, you can comment, I just won't go in depth in a reponse), but I am here to tell you about seeing this guy live. T.V. does not do this man justice. I always knew that the guy could give a speech, but never have I seen such a diverse crowd in gender, race, social class, economic class, and age go from a soft clap you would give a freind in class after a presentation, to a half a minute later garnering a full on standing ovation. This man is like a preacher giving his sermon. The way he moves people is something to be reckognized and heralded. He is what this country is calling for. He's what this country had in the 60's with Robert Kennedy. He is the breath of fresh air that Washington needs to get their asses in gear and get something done. Now with the Edwards endorsement, he should wrap this up soon, and lets hope he does, for the parties sake. And you know what, us highschool and college kids are going to be huge for this upcoming election. We all need to go out and vote and make an impact. Can we does this? Yes we can...

Alright, expect a review of Baby Mama tomorow...and I'm still taking requests for top 10's...maybe Best Movie's I've Never Seen...

Go see something good!!!
