A-before-E: Movies and DVDs

Filed under: Culture, Adventure
There will be a Silent Hill 2 movie, according to director Christopher Gans. In an interview with French-language site DVDrama, Gans hopes that the Roger Avery-penned sequel will retain the visual aesthetic of the first film should he be too busy adapting an Onimusha film to take the director's chair. In his hypotehtical absence, Gans would like a European director to take his stead so as to avoid making the film "too Hollywood" (loose translation).
Of course, some continuity issues run amok if the films follow the same timeline as the games, most notably the inclusion of Pyramid Head; we'll spare you the spoilers and let you read the film's Wiki page if you are curious. The original Silent Hill film, after initial dismay, eventually grew on me as a mediocre horror flick that proved itself better than a multitude of other game adaptations. Gans hopes that sequel will correct the mistakes of the first movie; let's hope it does so we can finally have a decent game-film to hold up as a pillar by which to compare the rest.

Blockbuster Online Rentals...

Wow, Blockbuster can read my mind, I was about to cancel my Blockbuster Online subscription when they sent me an email telling me that now I can take my return mail slips to the Blockbuster store and get another movie right then, and I still get my monthly coupons. Can't beat that.

Oh my goodness! I know this will make Beth happy, NBC is going to stop letting shows run an extra 1 to 2 minutes past their "Tivo" time.

Batman Begins

Tue, 28 Jun 2005 04:18:08 GMT

Beth and I saw the midnight showing of Batman Begins, we thought it was excellent! We think that Crispin Glover would be a great addition to the new franchise, playing The Joker.

We also watched Grave of the Fireflies and Exercist: The Beginning on DVD (we rent by mail at http://www.blockbuster.com). The first was very, very sad and the second was very, very scary.

Next big adventure: War of the Worlds (http://www.waroftheworlds.com)
