Here’s a photo of one of my favorite fictional comic book/toy characters, Snake-Eyes, the ninja commando for the G.I. Joe team as he will appear in the 2009 movie by Stephen Sommers (The Mummy/The Mummy Returns, Deep Rising):

Some of you are already enjoying the NBC show Heroes. If you’re already watching it, then it doesn’t require further explanation. However, if you’re not familiar with the show, you can think of it as a weekly version of M. Night Shyamalan’s feature film Unbreakable or Marvel’s X-Men. [...]

Well, as of October 15th, it’s been one year since I started blogging.
As most of you know, I also contribute to 3 other blogs: The Alberta Movie Guide, Luxo: A Pixar Blog, and Palaeoblog, all of which take a good deal of time.
Why do I do it? Aside from sharing things I find of interest, [...]
Along with my love of movies comes my passion for soundtracks and film scores. From Jerry Goldsmith’s moody Alien, to Max Steiner’s adventurous King Kong, to John Barry’s epic Zulu, easily half of my music collection is music from the movies and television shows. There’s certainly a long list of composers who rank high on [...]
