Damn, I really think he's going to make a great Joker, sadly we'll only get to experience it once.

The first four minutes of "The Kingdom"

Media_httpwwwbriankir_hntjs
Although I'm not terribly interested in the movie itself, I must say the 4 minute sequence that opens the movie is wonderfully done. If the whole movie was done in that style maybe I'd be a bit more intrigued by it. Just a bit of trivia, the director Peter Berg played boxer "Terry Conklin" in the movie "The Great White Hype".

The Dark Knight

Batman! We were just walking along in the loop when my brother Marc goes, check that out. I'm like what? It's a police truck. He replies "Read the truck". Yup it was all decked out for the Gotham Police, which means filming for "The Dark Knight" was nearby somewhere.

Sean Connery out of Indy 4?

Sean Connery announced Thursday he would not take part in the fourth instalment of the "Indiana Jones" adventure films, saying he would rather enjoy his retirement. In a statement on the film's official website, Connery, 76, said he had thought "long and hard" about reprising his role as Professor Henry Jones from 1989's "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade." "I love working with Steven and George, and it goes without saying that it is an honor to have Harrison as my son. But in the end, retirement is just too damned much fun."

My quick Spiderman 3 review.

Did Sam Raimi forget to take his pills? Venom = Cool Sandman = Cool Tobey Maguire's quivering bottom lip = Crap multiplied by every single audience member cringing from watching a grown man melt into dramatic goo. Tobey pretending he's a pimp/dance-a-thon = Crap Bruce Cambell = Badass
