The HD-DVD v. Blu-Ray format war is almost over. Blu-ray signed 80% of major movie studios to exclusive deals, so soon the choice will be made.
Why did Blu-ray win? Just like the Betamax v. VHS war of years past, the technology was not the driving factor. Also, strangely, the more competitively priced product lost. So, [...]

A new trailer just came out, watch it here:
It looks kind of funny actually, and could be an entertaining watch that also might educate us on [...]

Just caught another commercial for Meet The Spartans.
How come these movies keep getting produced?
Scary Movie 1-4
Epic Movie
Date Movie
My only answer is that people keep going to see them and ticket sales are outperforming the obviously low cost of production. That says alot about our nation’s concept of entertainment, and scares me on a deep level.

I had a friend ask me what next generation DVD player he should get. I realized I hadn’t done a post yet, so thought I would get one up. It seems like this post might be a bit late though since very recently the tide seems to have turned in favor of one camp.

Found a couple articles about what the common person, and especially young people think IP is, and what rights it provides the owner/creator.
On slashdot, someone posted an article that provided anecdotal evidence that a VERY small percentage of college students think downloading a movie or music is wrong.
“David Pogue of the New York Times has [...]

I really liked the movie Idiocracy. Here is a quick plot outline from IMDb:
Joe Bauers, an Army librarian, is judged to be absolutely average in every regard, has no relatives, has no future, so he’s chosen to be one of the two test subjects in a top-secret hibernation program. He and hooker Rita were to [...]

Documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock - the guy behind “Super Size Me” made a film asking why it was so hard to find bin laden.
Early reports are saying he might have gotten the FBI’s #1 most wanted on film. While no one is saying, because everyone who has seen the film had to sign a non-disclosure [...]

Great new movie coming out in January, Cloverfield.
It is produced by JJ Abrams - he is one of the producers behind Lost. I have a feeling the movie will follow along that style of weird plot twists that will leave you with many questions throughout the movie right up until the end. The advertising for [...]

I haven’t posted on this yet, but I should have from the start. The Writers’ Guild has been on strike for a week now. That means all the writers for TV and movies are not writing scripts. Basically, they are asking for more pay. Most people probably think they live these lavish lives, but compared [...]

The President of Production over at Warner Bros Movie Studios has announced for the near future, they are no longer putting female leads in movies.
Apparently the movies they have put out this year so far with female leads have done miserably. Instead of blaming the script writers, the directors, the studio greenlighting bad movies, etc. [...]
