I finally got something else for the movie 9, and it’s rather after everyone else this time around. At any rate, here are some very cool images of posters for the 9 characters, and descriptions. Click for rockin large version images.
1
-Voiced by one of the world’s most respected actors, Christopher Plummer, 1 is the Scientist’s first creation. As the elder, he is the self-declared leader of the group. He is clever and sly, but also domineering, quick-tempered, and threatened by the new arrival of 9, whose higher intellect leads him to question authority.
2
-Voiced by Academy Award Winner Martin Landau, 2 is a kindly but now frail inventor and explorer who embodies the Scientist’s strong creative spirit. An inquisitive personality, 2 is fearless. Director Shane Acker affectionately describes him as a ’salty old dog’.

Lisa Kudrow’s quirky webshow comedy about a misguided therapist is available now on iTunes, so I thought it was about time I visited the show here. The show stars Kudrow as Fiona Wallice, a therapist who has had just about enough of patients who go on and on at her about themselves and all their little problems.
The theory behind things is that Fiona has decided to cut to the chase by providing therapy via three-minute video chat sessions. Unfortunately for her clients, she can hardly manage to track a conversation, much less provide any helpful counseling.
Easily bored, self-interested, and with questionable credentials, Fiona nevertheless hopes to eventually spin her idea into a franchise-worthy web presence.
USA’s newest series focusing on a brilliant doctor and his run-in with the Hamptons is slow to get moving, and it seems that might be mainly a result of having no clear destination in mind. Like an ever-expanding list of other recent shows, the general affair seems better suited to something would become a mildly entertaining movie rather than something that must theoretically go on forever.
The recent trend seems to be to come up with a vaguely amusing situation and then decide if there is somewhere that situation might ultimately lead. If yes, it’s a movie. If no, work it into a series. The real trouble in this case is that we’re working a fairly limited gag, and it isn’t clear what we’re building around “kooky rich people” to hold interest.
Waking the Dead opens with Fielding Pierce (Billy Crudup) watching a newscast in which he learns that the love of his life has been killed in a car-bombing that targeted Chilean activists (she was with them). We flash to a few years earlier when he met his love, Sarah Williams (Jennifer Connelly), for the first time.
We soon see that perhaps things are not quite all fun and games for our young lovers. She, the idealist, lefter-than-left, wanna-be activist. He, the man in the uniform, who wants to be a politician.
The movie jumps us back and forth between their fairly rocky relationship of the early seventies, to Fielding’s life (now ten years after Sarah died) in the early eighties. We watch them fall in love. We watch them have great difficulty with their relationship. Then we watch Fielding as his eighties version tries to cope with his family and a stressful campaign for Congress,
There are those who would argue that the general category of fantasy/sci-fi, or even more generally “that which cannot really happen,” is indeed the best and purest category of fiction there is. Sure, it has everything from meaningless fluff to masterpieces just like every category, but when it’s done right, it somehow has more to say about reality than reality as a framework can manage. Whether telling a joke, using a hypothetical, or having your characters interact with mind-reading aliens, those who know how to play the game tell the truth better by lying than the truth, on its own, can be told.
Whatever you may think of such a theory, it is a theory that Lovely by Surprise not only understands, it masters utterly. The story of a woman’s struggle to finish a novel,
If you liked the feature film Earth, or the television series Planet Earth it was built from, you’re going to love the BBC follow-up to that series, Nature’s Most Amazing Events. Narrated by David Attenborough, these six, hour-long presentations focus on wonders of the natural world, and their effects on the natural world.
The gorgeous cinematography [...]
Richard Matheson is one of the strangest writers associated with Hollywood. I don’t say that because of the myriad horror efforts, Twilight Zone episodes, or things like What Dreams May Come that have his name attached. I say it because so many things he’s written just won’t go away.
Matheson has credits going back to things like 1957’s The Incredible Shrinking Man, based on his novel The Shrinking Man, and it’s exactly the movie you think it might be based on knowing nothing more than the year and title.
He wrote a lot of television back in the day, and then in 1964 we got a movie known as The Last Man on Earth based on a little novel he wrote called I Am Legend. In 1971 we get Omega Man, based on I Am Legend. In 2007 we got both I Am Omega and I Am Legend, also based on the same work.
For fans of The Sims, the newest release is an automatic purchase that won’t disappoint. The Sims 3 offers amazingly powerful updates to the theory, and everyone from the uninitiated to the die-hard will find themselves with limitless entertainment.
EA has a new trick up its sleeve for The Sims 3, because you can now get [...]
