When Sally Met Harry


Welcome Sally - the newest member of our family - isn't she cute??!!

Harry the Bunny

We have had Harry, our bunny, for almost a year now and it has arguably been one of the best years of our lives -- we attribute a lot of the joy in our lives to this little bun. I rarely post about him, because I assume that most everyone hears enough about him from me without my blogging about him. However, the blog does warrant at least one video of our favorite little guy.

Disney Shot Kennedy

The trailer is done (for this movie that I am editing, Disney Shot Kennedy).

3 weeks of my life (well, more than that, but it has robbed me of the most sleep in the past 3 weeks) ... Enjoy!

Toy Story 3

No, No, No, No, No, No, NO!

Personally, I was (and am) a huge fan of the X-Men series - read the comic books, played the video game, loved the (first 2) movies. X-Men fans everywhere recognize that the 3rd movie was a horrendous disappointment. I do not understand why a director (Bryan Singer) would abandon a trilogy at the last minute to go direct another piece of crap movie (Superman, which - I admit - I did not see because I refused to support Bryan Singer's betrayal). Where is the creative integrity in that decision??? The first and second X-Men movies are two of the best superhero movies of all time, in my humble opinion. And then the third movie was so bad that it ruined the potential for any future film. Brett Ratner, who directed the third movie, certainly wasn't going to get another chance at the series after The Last Stand crashed and burned.

But X-Men: the Last Stand came out in 2006, so why am I bringing this up now? Because apparently Bryan Singer wants to return to the franchise and make more X-Men movies.

And so I rant - No, No, No, No, No, No, NO!!!! Having turned his back on his fans, Bryan Singer should not be given another chance.

However, I will own up to my own hypocrisy. Because Scream 4 is in production and I couldn't be more thrilled. The Scream trilogy is one of my favorites. I was nervous at first, because 4th installments are rarely good, quality films. However, once Wes Craven, Kevin Williamson, Courtney Cox Arquette, David Arquette AND Neve Campbell were all locked in to this project, my nerves were abated. In case you don't know the background of the Scream trilogy, this is hypocritical on my part, because Kevin Williamson did not write Scream 3 (having penned the first 2) because he left the trilogy to write Teaching Mrs. Tingle (piece of crap).

Why am I able to forgive Kevin Williamson and welcome him back to the franchise with open arms, while I flatly refuse to see X-4, should it be directed by Bryan Singer?

It's because I didn't hate Scream 3. I actually kind of liked it. It's not as good as the first 2, that's for sure. But, like the Godfather: Part III, Scream 3 may not be as good as the first 2, but it's still better than the average movie in theaters. I will be glad to see Kevin Williamson restore the writing to it's original stature, but it didn't fall too far for my taste.
X-Men: The Last Stand, on the other hand, was truly awful.

GLEE!

trailers

New favorite trailers of the moment: Blind Date, The Blind Side (noticing a theme yet?), The Boys are Back, Whip It, Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, Where the Wild Things Are, and, of course, New Moon (I don't think the trailer is that good, but who am I kidding, I'll be at the midnight screening with my girlfriends by my side).

The trailers for The Blind Side and The Boys are Back give me goosebumps and almost make me tear up every time I watch them. Good sign? Bad sign?

I'm also a little intrigued by The Box. I'm curious to see what reviews say closer to the release date.

As for Peter and Vandy, I'm curious if this will be different than (500) Days of Summer. It doesn't seem to have the wit of Summer, but who knows ...

And this featurette for The Fantastic Mr. Fox is delightful. Wes Anderson meets Roald Dahl. Why didn't anyone think of that before?
