There's always something about Internet type movies that I really like. It's usually amusing to see how everything is so "easy" and GUI based. This particular movie was about how an FBI agent chased after cybercrimes on the Internet, and would seemingly have this really easy way of doing everything with fake accounts to catch hackers and script kiddies. Yet, there is this one psychopath that starts up a website called "killwithme.com" and the more people that log onto it, the fast

July 1 marks the halfway point of the movie year, and there is a clear winner among the major Hollywood studios. With the top 3 grossing movies of 2008, Paramount is riding high with both Marvel?s Iron Man and Lucasfilm?s Indiana Jones & The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull topping $300M and Dreamworks? Kung Fu Panda at $181M now and a cinch for $200M+. The Melrose gang will be the first studio in history with back-to-back-to-back $200M+ grossing movies. With an estimated $1.054 b

Bon Jovi Teases Mayor Bloomberg, Still Gets to Perform in Central Park Yesterday, Mayor Bloomberg and Jon Bon Jovi announced that the Jersey rocker (now a resident of Manhattan) would be one of a select handful of artists to play Central Park. On July 12 he will take over the Great Lawn and perform for free for 60,000 fans. The tickets will be distributed starting tomorrow at baseball stadiums throughout the city, as the event is co-sponsored by Major League Baseball. Some protes

This is the Large Hadron Collider. It is located 330 feet underground on the French-Swiss border. It makes subatomic particles go really fast and, like, crash into each other, sort of like a giant pinball machine, if you can imagine a pinball machine where the balls are .000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001" thick. A bunch of scientists are are going to start up the pinball machine this summer, and play a few rounds of Space Attack and Jupiter Lady and Foto Finish. This wi

Bump and Update: I'm glued to the television tonight. If you're not, here's another open thread. *** I'm going to need more than one Tivo tonight: HBO airs "The Ganja Queen" about Schapelle Corby , an Australian serving 20 years in an Indonesian prison for smuggling 10 pounds of pot into Bali at 9 pm ET. And on ABC at 8pm, last year's jilted Bachelorette, Deanna Pappas, pares down from the final three to the final two, who almost everyone I've read thinks will be Jason, the sing

Sit back?Relax and be seduced? antharjalaya.com You guys remember the movie ? unfaithful? ? Ever since watching it as a 12 th grader I started loving Diane Lane. And the seducing music played in the background when she was making love with Oliver Martinez. I know you all remember that scene. After some long searches online I managed to find the song. (This was 6 years ago.) Since I do not want to blog about ?Money? in a beautiful Saturday evening like this and since I have few pla

I've joined the Hush Hush Handspun Hootenanny Swap . If you are a spinner and want to join, sign ups are open until June 30th. We've been asked to answer the following questions on our blogs so our swap partners know more about us. Here are my responses: 1. How long have you been spinning? What skill level do you consider yourself? I've been spinning since late last year. I bought a spindle in October and got a wheel for Christmas. I would consider myself an advanced beginner to

The first 850 The Buzz Cougar Draft was a success, with over 60 picks of women over 40 years of age that are still holding it down. Tony pulled a Mike Ditka, trading all of his picks to move up to the #1 spot and taking Pam Grier (shocker). Gold went off the board and selected Jennifer Tilly (?Bound? left an impression, even over Gina Gershon). I selected Julianne Moore over Diane Lane, who was later taken by former Duke player JJ Redick. Hey, the red head is gonna win out for my

With the July 4th right around the corner, we thought we'd get the HT gang together again to slap a variety of foodstuffs on the grill and throw back some Six Point Hop Obama's for another edition of At The Barbecue. This time around we figured we'd find out what has been burning up the iPods of our faithful HT Contributors as we approach the mid-way point of 2008. Much like Fight Club there were no rules - the albums could be something released this year, something you've just dis

J.D. at Radiator Heaven continues to write some of the most interesting and insightful articles online and his most recent post on Francis Ford Coppola's ridiculously underrated Rumble Fish is one of his best. J.D. gives a sharp critical analysis of the film, provides some fascinating history and reminds me that I need to do a Diane Lane tribute here soon. It's a great piece of writing and I ask everyone to visit the link above to c

With a nod to ?Coma for recently citing two of my favorite movies of all time, if I am stuck on a deserted island with nothing but a TV and a DVD player and only ten DVDs, I believe I can get by with these. In no particular order: River?s Edge - In the Nineties and pre-DVD days, I practically killed myself to get a VHS copy of this off eBay. Crispin Glover is a madman (in real life and on camera) - and was wonderful in the Back to the Future films - but he truly shines here in ser

Wow, what a weekend! It seems only fitting to have had a really enjoyable weekend, after finishing up my job at The Big Christian Charity last week and starting who knows what. Like an intermission filled with light and laughter between Acts. On paper, or pixels rather, it might sound like an ordinary weekend but it was really enjoyable. Largely because I wasn't sleepwalking my way through it like I have been. I was feeling rested, energised and engaged in it. What a difference sle

This is one of the sweetest movies I've ever watched. It's about the tender relationship between a young nurse and a young girl with CP who, after years of institutionalization, has shut down. The nurse, determined to reach her before the girl is transferred out of a rehab school to a less progressive institution, is played by Deborah Raffin. The cast includes Diane Lane, (Good night Momma) Walton, and a character actress who many of you might recognize from The Trouble With Angels.

Was Christopher in Under the Tuscan Sun Filed under: 12 ? Comments: 1 If I was a good blogger I would just go look up this fact. Well first I would look up the name of the guy who plays Christopher so I didn?t keep calling him Christopher. I?m not that good of a blogger. However, isn?t Christopher the guy in the end of Under the Tuscan Sun who is like Diane Lane?s dream boat? At least he is someone?s d

Canadian filmmaker Paul Gross' "Passchendaele,'' in which he also stars as a soldier severely wounded in France during World War I, will open this year's Toronto Film Festival on September 4. Gross' character returns home to Calgary, but a romance with a nurse (Caroline Dhavernas) compells him to return to France to protect her younger brother -- and they're both among thousands of Canadians caught up in the third battle of Ypres, commonly known as "Passchendaele.'' Says TIFF dire

Linda has added 8 pre-made Mommy Cards to our collection, and I have furnished the remaining 3.? You can view our whole selection at our Pre-Made Mommy Cards page.

I didn't want to watch it again, and I actually requested Jumper thinking I was going to do a live blog while watching it and make fun of it the whole time. Unfortunately I think all the snark has drained out of me recently and I am on snark recharge so I am going the more traditional review route. I don't like this movie. I didn't like it when I did the theatrical review. I didn't like it when I did my top ten "Questions 'Jumper' Doesn't Want You to Ask". I didn't like it after wa

Turns out I took a little trip east of here. I flew to Louisville where Kyle lives and saw some sights, and I love Kentucky. It's even better than Elizabethtown led me to believe. Then we drove to North Carolina with his family to the Outer Banks. We drove through Virginia and West Virginia, my first time in either of those places, and if the Wendy's we stopped at is an accurate representation then West Virginia is exactly what they say it is. Anyway, basically the Outer Banks is
