James Cameron’s Avatar became the second-highest grossing film worldwide of all time on Wednesday. What makes it even worse is that it was in the film’s 20th day in theaters. WHAT’S UP WITH THAT?!?!?
Domestically, the it added $6.91 million to push its total to $374.4 million. The film has climbed to the 12th spot on the all-time domestic list, surpassing Spider-Man 2 ($373.6 million). Continue reading

People’s Choice Awards? BAH HA, more like Twilight hormonal teens getting told by their twi-fan websites to go vote for their precious’s to win along with whatever garbage tweens like these days as well.
What a load of garbage that awards show is. And it’s the 36th annual. Ridiculous. I’m sure it was more fair back when they didn’t have message boards, the Internet and tweens. Continue reading
I think this is a making of a beautiful thing they got going here. Zombieland = one of my favorite movies to date, and now the writers are helming one of the most praised superheroes of the geek world. According to Variety, the duo of Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (Zombieland) will write up the screenplay to the Deadpool, who will be played by Ryan Reynolds, which is my favorite actor. This should be a pretty awesome turn out if the two don’t fail me, but I have high hopes. This is great news. I’m sure you enjoy this news as well also!
(Update) According to IESB, Reese and Wernick will also be writing the script for G.I. Joe 2. Weird? It can’t be any worse than the first film.
The final season of Lost is coming upon us very soon and the marketers/cast/writers/etc decided to shoot two ‘last supper’ pictures to promote the final season I would assume. They are pretty cool and this has been done before with Battlestar Galatica, The Soprano’s, and House (although I’m not sure if House has had a last season or is on it’s last season yet).

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Avatar is not that original, just amazing innovation of technology. When I first saw the film I was getting hints of four different films: The Matrix, Dances With Wolves, Ferngully, and Pocahontas. Now the “proof” is here with this little summary of story comparison of Avatar VS. Pocahontas. The source could be claimed by /Film for me, but I have no idea where they got it from. This is a pretty funny comparison and it pretty much does sum it up to be the same film. Go figure………? You can click on the image to enlarge it to get a better look.
I stumbled on this epic ‘mural’ of someone’s portrayal of the Disney and Marvel Comics merge. I think it’s pretty cool and someone put some good thought into it. Click on the picture to enlarge it. Plus if you didn’t know, the Marvel share holders approved the buy out this past week or so. Word……
Now I have not seen allll the films of 2009, but I have seen a great many this year. The year of 2009 has been a great year for film in all ranges of the category from cinematography, directing, writing and beyond. This year will be remembered for a long time to me as it was the year I gained this hobby/love interest of film. I wish I could have seen every film I wanted to this year as it would probably change my list, but we all can’t afford to see that many movies. Continue after the jump to see my picks for my best and worst of 2009:

It’s amazing how much you don’t know how much blue/green screen they actually use in films these days and this little video will baffle you, unless you are really into film that much that you know the amount they use. Watch this little video and find yourself interested because this is pretty cool I think, so you should too if you read this.
Sorry due to copyrighting and all that legal mumbo jumbo, the video is no longer available through YouTube, but you can check it out below on the link.
The video is called “What You See Isn’t Always What You Get” but it’s actually a demo reel for Stargate Studios, a visual effects company that specializes in virtual backlots (which is what this kind of green screen removal is).
