Can’t Wait
Sometimes the ol’ movie buff in me wakes up. I used to obsessively follow the progress of movies in production. In recent years, I haven’t been as interested in the development of movies, and have also really slowed down the rate at which I watch movies.
In 2008, which is already almost halfway over, [...]
The Promise and Other Things
First there was Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon…then there was Hero…now here’s the next visually-interesting martial arts epic directed by a formerly “high-brow” Chinese director: The Promise
The trailer looks beautiful. The director? Chen Kaige of “Farewell My Concubine” fame. Check out the trailer: http://wip.warnerbros.com/promise/

The Fountain…at last a trailer
At last, visual proof of a movie I first heard about, and got excited about, years ago. I last mentioned it here on my blog back in June (see old post here). Now there’s a trailer online at the www.apple.com/trailers site. You can see the trailer here. It looks as visually [...]

Thinking About Movies Again
I never stray away from the subject of movies for too long, do I? I wanted to stoke the fires of curiousity and anticipation for some movies due out in the next year or so. Some of the more interesting-sounding ones:
- Sin City: One of the most interesting trailers I have ever seen, [...]
Random Thoughts
- To answer Monicow’s question in the chatterbox on the right, I have only so far gone to this salsa class a friend teaches at the Gold’s Gym in downtown LA. It’s in the shopping center thing on the corner of Figueroa and 8th. The beginner’s class is at 1pm on Saturdays, with [...]
