Into the White



Ya just want to pinch those cheeks!
As per usual, a period piece based on true story has caught my eye! Here we have a WWII movie where two planes from opposing sides are shot down in the wild cold of Norway and are forced to live in the same cabin for survivals sake. Intriguing, right? I know I'm interested! So, you have probably recognized the red haired guy on the poster. Yes, it's Rupert Grint AKA Ron Weasley from the 'Harry Potter' series. He sure has grown up fast! You probably remember him as the fresh faced youth in the first "Harry Potter' installment. As far as I know this is the first truly serious role he has played. There have been a few semi-serious roles, but nothing quite like this. I hope he pulls it off! Putting that aside, I think we might have a good film on our hands. I don't know where the story will go or if they even survive. I'm assuming they will eventually bond... or kill each other. It should be interesting however it turns out! Running in line with my current pattern, this movie appears to have been released last year in other countries and will be coming out in the U.S. this year. I have the trailer here so you can take a look. It looks like a winner to me!





UPDATE: I have since seen this movie and written a review.

    Looks too gritty for me. I saw.....a hacksaw.

    I wonder, if Rupert had a Nimbus 2000 could he have flown in that weather?

The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug ~ An Abomination

Hello, everyone! I finally managed to get myself to the theatre to see 'The Desolation of Smaug'! As most of you probably remember,  I pretty much hated the first 'Hobbit' movie.  Well, this one is even worse! Congratulation Peter Jackson, you outdid yourself. Your selfish, egotistical direction style has managed to absolutely destroy the middle section of the beloved Hobbit story. Let's get started on the details shall we? First! I know this has been talked about by everyone, but the High Frame Rate! It's distracting and clunky. I'm my opinion, it make everyone look like they were moving ever so slightly in fast forward. Also, it generally made the film quality look like a made-for-TV movie. I watched the first Hobbit in 2D so this was my first encounter with this laborious beast. They never should have done it. Second, the Hobbit feet. WHY WHY WHY? Why did they make his feet swollen to a comical, ridiculous level? They are meant to be hairy and tough,

Emergency at the Pony Express

It was a hot dusty day at the Pony Express station. There were no packages coming and the riders were getting antsy. Jesse, the youngest rider at age 16, was re-shoeing his pony, and Kale, Jesse’s older brother, was sitting on the porch watching the Texas dust blow. Jesse stood up, patted the pony and said, “Well Sarah, we are ready to go now.” He then walked to the water barrel and drank a large ladleful, liquid rolling down his shirt. Kale looked at the horizon and saw two dark silhouette’s approaching. “Hey Jesse!” Kale hollered, “I think a job’s a- comin’.” Jesse looked around the corner of the station to see the figures growing by the second. He quickly ate a biscuit, then stood on the porch watching as the men arrived. The men were obviously military, both wearing navy blue uniforms, their horses were stark black with manes and tales cut short. “What can we do for you’s today?” Kale asked. “We need you to deliver a package to Baton Rouge, Louisiana,” one of the men said.

The Hobbit ~ Beware!

I saw the first installment of the 'Hobbit' trilogy opening day yesterday. I was greatly saddened. It. Is. Bad. So bad that I wish I hadn't seen it. So bad, that I don't think I will waste my time on any of the future installments. Peter Jackson took a wonderful, complete, enjoyable story and adulterated it nearly beyond recognition. Now, before you think I am just a purist who despises change, I'm not! Yes, I read all the 'Lord of the Rings' books as well as 'The Hobbit' growing up, and I understand that things change when you are translating a story from book to movie. This went beyond that. I have many specific problems. Yes, that is a stream of dried bird poop on his face. First, they added Radagast the brown wizard. Why in the heck of all creation would someone think that was a good idea? Let's add a totally unnecessary character and side plot that only confuses the audience and draws away from the real focus! It was terrible from ev
