Super 8

Perhaps the best picture of the year so far. Despite the Steven Spielberg emphasis on the kids it was so well directed...who oh JJ Abrams sorry that was silly....well done.

Knight and Day (2010)

This is after the fact. Critics panned it. It cost $117,000,000 (estimated) to make and grossed a meager $258,804,462 (Worldwide) (15 November 2010) So so, not a blow out but not a loser by any means. Call me crazy but I've been a Tom Cruise fan for a long time. My favorite of Tom's is Mission Impossible and Minority Report.

In this movie I think he was better cast than all my favorites. He plays the role with that movie star flare that just blends well with the writing. Cameron Diaz plays opposite and I have a hard time tearing my eyes off her. It's worth a look if you haven't seen it.

Limitless

Have a man crush on Bradley I guess. Must see. Worth it. Have fun. Enjoy the movies this is what it's all about.

Battle LA

Well worth the big screen rendition this street warfare shoot em up is the best movie this year so far and we are almost to April. Doesn't say much for the fare so far but Battle La is a good platoon level characterization. Go...enjoy. Even those who don't dig Aliens might like this if they like the US Marines!

Crazy Heart - Good movie. I don't like country but the tunes were wonderful.

Blu Ray and the future of film delivery

Blu ray's problem is that for the general population the image enhancement is not enough enticement to buy. I enjoy a good clear picture and wonderful surround sound but the truth of the matter is if the film is good you lose yourself in the story. Film makers seem to forget (often) that the story is the true selling point of a good movie. Some crappy film with wonderful crisp image and sound is not going to fly off the shelves a month after bombing at the theaters.

I'm a throw back to VHS when that was considered the standard. With DVD we all danced in the aisles happy with the perfect image and sound. Blu ray doesn't do enough. To say the picture is ten times better sounds good but in reality most consumers don't even notice a difference ten minutes into the film.

Wow! Hold up though... I don't believe downloads are the end of hard copies. In fact, with the volumes capable of flash drives in the near future I think it is just as likely you could plug in at the local RED BOX, download the film(s) you like to be played on your device at home.

Not only would it create more savings for the distributor but it would also go along way in helping the environment. No more billions of plastic tossed in the trash.
