Making your life better by the second.
Blade Runner: The Final Cut is coming to the Harris Theatre downtown the weekend of March 7th thru the 13th. I will be there to experience the glory of one of the best sci-fi films ever. Granted I bought the limited edition suitcase with the final cut of Blade Runner inside.. but seeing it on the big screen is a must. Be there or be square nerds.
Lego leaked some photos of their new Indiana Jones themed sets coming out in May. These Lego sets come out the same time as the new Indiana Jones movie.
Why should you care? Well think about it this way. By looking at these Lego sets, you can see allot of what the movies about. For example, one set lets you build some type of soviet vehicle with giant saw blades on the front. Hmmm… wonder if that will be in the movie?

Or don’t. Just figured I’d throw you a bone. Either way, I will tell you most sets come with giant ants.
Lets get right down to this. Besides the fact that Guiness might be the best drink ever invented, I want to tell you about the best DVD release of the year. If you haven’t purchased the new box set of John Ford, I’m sorry but you are missing out on 25 of the greatest films released this decade. During the early part of December I took off 3 days of work in expectation of its arrival and its lived up to my every expectation. 25 films of one of the greatest directors of the past decade, including two old school silent film programs, and a deluxe book of photo’s from the films. After heaving the eight pound box set into the house and absorbing it all, I’m 12 films into the set and I feel as if I’ve conquered the free world. Check out this picture if you don’t believe the power and glory that exists within the set.
This will by far be voted the release of the year, and granted its $300 dollar price tag is quite steep I’m sure you can find ways to get it to the $99 dollar price tag I payed, but if your interested in films devoted to “americana” this one is for you… and if you curious about a certain film I can gladly supply it.
In other news, The Bourne Trilogy could very well be the best trilogy release of films of all time, its tight, fulfilling and full of action. I’m glad they went against the story of the second and third books as they are actually very inconsistent and bad. For the first time ever I actually think I prefer the movie to the books. Matt Damon being my favorite actor of these times might help in my belief. The Talented Mr. Ripley is a savagely good film.
