Should I Let My Toddlers Watch Jurassic Park?
Here's a quick post, with a simple goal. I'm looking to you, dear readers, for parental advice. After all, no parent has all the answers, but the internet knows everything! Hear my query, and then shower me with your wisdom.
Originality? At the Movies?
Hanna
Synopsis from The Internet Movie Database:A 16-year-old who was raised by her father to be the perfect assassin is dispatched on a mission across Europe, tracked by a ruthless intelligence agent and her operatives.
Not Artsy-Fartsy, but Balls-to-the-Wallsy
Holy crap.
- I'm going to shut up and let you watch it.
- I'm going to promise that the following film is nothing like the artsy-fartsy video I normally ask you to be inspired by.
The Bait and Switch Project
What exactly is a bait and switch? It's a scam where a customer is lured in to a store by a product or price that's almost too good to be true. When he then arrives to pick up the miracle do-dad, he discovers that it's no longer available — although some other similar product is at a higher price. You've probably all encountered it in the retail world, even if you didn't realize that you were being had. It's not technically illegal in it's most innocuous forms, but it does serve to get people onto the sales floor long enough to make a pitch. Even if the customer ends up falling for the scam and settling for the alternative product, nothing can erase the memory of that once-promised great deal.
Crouching Tiger, Stolen Moments
So I turn on my computer last night, head over to YouTube, and imagine what I see? Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was on. That’s right, it was ‘on’ the internet. Apparently, YouTube is now featuring full length feature films, and as the comments section clearly illustrated, everyone was flocking to watch the movie in question.
Obviously there are all sorts of ways to watch movies online, and anyone handy with an IP address can figure most of them out. Generally the internet has served to dramatically increase the flow of all kinds of media across the globe. Even a person sitting in a shack on the remote outskirts of Budapest has access to all the splendours of Hollywood, Bollywood, and Motown.
Sharing Lions
Link to film at bottom of post.
I saw this independent film a week ago and I can't seem to get it out of my head, so I thought I should share. After all, I tell my faithful readers every other damn thing that rolls around in my noggin, right?
If Your Time is Expendable, Watch this Movie
Haven't done a movie review in a real long time, and when I do it's always for something I liked, so here's to breaking the mold. (copied and pasted out of Flixster, which is why it's so short)
The Last Career Ender
When I first saw the trailer for M. Night Shyamalan's Last Airbender I was admittedly intrigued. Even though his last few movies were spectacularly bad, and the ones preceding those showed a steady decline from the brilliance that was The Sixth Sense, I thought there was at least a small chance that Mr. Night had a chance to redeem himself here.
Sally Soundtrack - Tommy's Successor Is In Theaters!
After the success of Tommy Texter, Cineplex wanted to continue the series. If you search around, you can see that calling someone a 'Tommy Texter' has worked it's way into casual language, at least in Canada. Here's hoping Sally can be as well known. For a little help, Tommy can be seen ever so briefly in this spot, but you'll have to look very hard.
A spot I produced by Goodspeed Productions for Cineplex Entertainment. Part of a series of etiquette spots to be played in theaters across the country.
Creative concept and script by Darren Solomon at Cineplex Entertainment. Produced, illustrated, and animated by Brad Goodspeed. Music composed by Colin Kelday at Spleener Records and Media. Post sound mix by Sebastien Breton.
Enjoy it at higher quality here.
15 Year Old Arrogance
This episode exposes the mind of a 21 year old fool who thought he knew it all. He didn't.
