A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Uwe Boll Plans To Improv For New Movie On Darfur Massacre, 'Janjaweed'.
The movie will follow a group of journalists who "get confronted by attack and have to decide whether to help the people or simply report," Boll said. "I'm sure if my name [was] George Clooney it would run for the Oscars, this movie."
I cannot tell if he's running with his shit-ass reputation for all it's worth, or if he actually believes in what he's doing. What I've heard about Postal is so fucking appalling that I'd almost be willing to pony up for a hit fund, not just a retire petition.
I'm sure if his name were George Clooney he wouldn't be making amazingly crappy movies based on videogames all the time, either.
I'm not sure what bout of masochism struck me but I actually watched the behind-the-scenes featurette for In the Name of the King. It was truly the worst featurette I have ever seen. Just somebody with a camera filming random bits of the production, no commentary, just some non-descript music. I got the feeling nobody involved in the picture wanted to come back and talk about it.

Because they might have to deal with Uwe fists of rage, perhaps?
I just got back from a free screening of The Fall, starring Lee Pace and directed by the guy who did The Cell. The premise is that Lee Pace is bedridden in a hospital, and he starts telling this story to a girl with a broken arm, and the story sort of shifts and evolves as she gets into it. It's cute. The girl is adorable and totally hilarious. She's either a brilliant actress or just so naturally cute that anything she says is gold.
Also, Lee Pace has got ARMS. Dude.
Emma Watson's official website says that filming on HPHBP has finished and that they will update with promo pictures and trailers as they become available.
ooh, found maybe half a dozen clips on YT of the Fall and it looks gooood.
From what little I saw, big fat Word on the little girl, P-C.

It was generally neat. Good but not great. The story-within-the-story is mostly deliberately cheesy nonsense, which is sort of disappointing. But the relationship between Lee Pace and the girl is solid, and that's the real point of the movie.
The girl is really funny. She cracks you up and breaks your heart. She's a very believably naive child.
I was a little underwhelmed by some of the fantasy stuff, but from the premise, I understand that's not the point. I did like that even when in the story, it was still very much in the room, like when the princess chick is fidgeting and Lee tells her to go pee.
Found a promo for it too, and am afraid that it just spoiled the plot of the whole damned movie.
