Control is being released under a limited capacity this weekend and has received really good reviews so far. Who doesn’t want to know about the tragedy that was Ian Curtis who at 23 committed suicide after leading Joy Division to much success. The rest of Joy Division went on to form New Order.

This technically belongs on my music site because Joy Division has inspired most of the current bands that I really like. I don’t know when I’ll be catching this movie but I know I want to see it eventually.

Here’s a video for Love Will Tear Us Apart:

Jason Wigley has a few blogs on which is Fanatic Space. He tends to write a whole lot that when he has a read more link attached to the front of his page, you are in for a lot. His blog is related to television and he covers many TV shows. One of the TV shows that he covers that I also really dig is Heroes. He recaps the shows and starts speculating on what is going to happen next.

On face value his blog doesn’t seem it’s that good as it really is. I am not really a fan of his “read more” long posts. It’s great content and the posts may be long but it just doesn’t do justice to the juicy part of post. Some things I would suggest would be to take out the related posts widget. I find it more annoying then helpful and I would rather see that space replaced with content. I would also take the get paid to review my post widget. It’s just a lot of unnecessary things that take away from the real substance of his blog.

He has great content and I would like to see him take full advantage of it. Really interesting to read especially if you are a television junkie. Check it out.

This weekend looks disappointing when it comes to movies.

We Own The Night looks like on face value with a potentially good movie involving two actors who can be moved into elite status with another big film. It does have a passing grade but most are calling it a disappointment. This one could be worth seeing if I can get a good review from a friend.

Otherwise there are slim pickings when it comes to new movies.

We have Tyler Perry’s Why Did I get Married? Sounds a lot like Chris Rock’s I think I Love my wife.

Otherwise on the Limited Release section, there is Lars and the Real Girl which looks like an odd Ryan Gosling movie. I wasn’t much of a fan of Half Nelson so unless this one gets rave reviews I won’t be catching this movie.

Jerry entered my failed link exchange contest so as a consolation prize I am doing a quick review of his website 33 is the New 23. His website is pretty general I would say but he does talk a bit about sports such as the current games being played in the MLB playoffs. I definitely can appreciate sports myself as I have my own blog dedicated towards it.

His blog is decent though probably not with high level of traffic and seems like a small-time blogger just like me. So I’m just going to suggest keep working on it! Maybe we could collaborate on some sports as a blog inter-promotion.

Talk about the movie industry getting it wrong when making a video game adaptation. The Hitman games while fun is due to the fact that they are refusing to make a Halo game. Talk about illogical.

Anyway apparently the Hitman movie is going through trouble with directors as they had to drop a director due to the movie getting a sure fire R rating for gore. They apparently want to make the movie more “PG” despite the video game being a guy who murders for hire isn’t that worse then a little blood? The video game itself has a lot of blood and I think people are going to feel as if the stuff isn’t that great.

This seems like a terrible idea for FOX. I just don’t understand their logic.

The Adventures of Tintin were arguably my favorite comic and television cartoon while growing up. I never fully got to see every set but loved the show when I could see it.

On /flim where they catch up with Steven Spielberg on Indiana Jones 4. One of the topics brought up will be how Spielberg who’s a big Adventures of Tintin fan is getting ready to film a movie and Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) is planning to direct another movie. They are trying to find a 3rd director to complete the trilogy.

This sounds freaking awesome! Especially with the directors who plan to do it. I am excited!

The Justice League is cool. I’ve personally followed with the Superman Series “Smallville” from it’s inception. Batman is cool especially after Christopher Nolan’s releases of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

Apparently they had Jessica Biel as wonder man which would’ve been a great choice. However, apparently they didn’t want to offer Biel a Wonder Woman movie spin off due to movies with “female leads” doing bad. Last I checked it made no difference whether a male or female lead and they brought up examples like The Invasion and The Brave One. Those ones were box office duds cause of bad reviews, this is Wonder Woman you’re talking about!

So the real question now that they have a script ready, who’s going to play who?

The directors Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay have apparently signed on to begin filming Transformers 2.

I know I am not a fan of sequels but I will be definitely watching the second film. Sequels are usually crappy but if you found the first one decent why wouldn’t you continue watching other released movies that carry on the story line but are sure to be action packed?

I have nothing really for this movie site in the upcoming weeks other then news so bear with me.

Here is a TERRIBLE article on Newsweek on why Hollywood and production companies should stay away from Halo. When reading this article it was a JOKE how one sided of an article it is.

Basically it compares the revenue stream from the successful launch of Halo 3 to box office sales of Spiderman 3. Sugguesting that Halo 3 will not have that many fans because most of the revenue comes from their high price. What a pile of trash.

There are more Halo fans then what the revenue would suggest. First off a lot of people don’t buy Halo and usually get a crack or illegal copy of some sort. Halo 3 is just that good of a game that people are willing to take out money of their wallet. Secondly more people would be willing to see a movie for $10 with a lot of action and good reviews. A good comparison of video game to movie success will have to be the Resident Evil trilogies. Granted these movies got terrible reviews and Resident Evil isn’t on par with the amount of fans it has. Even if you didn’t play Halo doesn’t mean you wouldn’t see the movie especially if it has a lot of action in it.

Resident Evil grossed about $40 million and Halo3 probably has 10 times the fan base of Resident Evil. You know where I am getting at if you multiply $40 million by 10 you would get $400 million. Add in good graphics and probably decent reviews from critics you’ll have a big hit. I can see it doing as well as Transformers.

To say that just cause you have 5 million fans buying the video game that is not your entire market and it’s a poorly done article. The real market? Males aged 8 to 40 and if production companies don’t realize that they are retarded just like that bullshit article which fails to looks at both sides.
