Yeah, I think Brandon is better - and has more fun - in Journey to the Center of the Earth. Haven't seen all of that yet, tho...
FilmBuzz
:
Watching an oldie but goodie: "The Hunt for Red October". It's easily the best of Clancy's books too, for that matter.
FilmBuzz

Saw Mummy III and ya know what? It basically sucked, both technically and its weak storyline. Disappointing to say the least

:
Ealing Studios' "Dorian Gray" cast announced: Rebecca Hall, Ben Chaplin, Emilia Fox, and Max Irons (son of Jeremy Irons). I have high hopes

- Stargate Continuum DVD will be good for fans of the series - but probably won't mean as much to those who haven't watched

Hey! Preview for "Traitor" looks pretty darn good, Im' surprised we aren't hearing more buzz since it's coming out in three weeks.

Watching XXX: SotU it's no surprise that urban kids find the gang/prison life so appealing. It's the gangster that's the cool guy in film

Interesting point about R rated comedies. But, how do they do in the long run? Usually they start big and disappear fast.
FilmBuzz
:
Ticket sales analysis by Fandango suggests that comedies with an "R" rating actually do better in the box office than PG-13 or PG. Hmmm...
