I loooooooooooooove The Blues Brothers. Everything you pointed out is spot-on. Great choice for your Sunday Night movie. I need to revisit this one soon as its been awhile since I've watched it.

The Collection http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/pictures?view=image&format=raw&type=img&id=181899

The Collection is the sequel follow-up (redundant?) to the wildly imaginative and fun indie flick The Collector. I was just blown away how good the original was. It had a excellent hero and mind boggling bad guy with a cat and mouse scenario in a maze of deadly devices in a house.

Sadly The Collection jumped the rails and became the dreaded ‘sequel’. It did everything it should have not done. The inventiveness focused on the blood and gore and traps… much like saw. Throwing away the story, the characters and even caring about anything in the movie. It went over the top with special effects and just lost it’s purpose. I was so psyched to see this, thus giving me a huge disappointment. I hope the director reads the overwhelmingly bad reviews and rethinks the 2nd sequel. He says he already knows what that is going to be if it gets made.

I wasn’t looking for formulaic remake, but I was expecting brilliance along the lines of the first.

I first noted The Collection here...

I need to edit it.

Cirque du Soliel: Worlds Away


Cirque du Soliel: Worlds Away is an amazing visual experience. Cirque has always pushed the boundaries of ‘circus’ experience. By first developing conceptual acts and finding the athletes from around the world that can perform these jaw dropping vignettes. From the very first frame of the film I was totally absorbed into Worlds Away. The colors, the images, the sound of the songs, the acrobats are truly inspiring.

Worlds Away take select acts from their ongoing global acts and stitch them together in a quasi-story. It wasn’t real important to me, but I can only imagine to a child this imaginative story telling at its best.

I had not seen Cirque use water like this before. I guess because of the limited view to audiences, but with creative camera work, they capture every beautiful moment. Historically the stages Cirque uses are characters unto themselves. No different here except only in the functionality and the immensity in  it’s size. The battle between warriors gave hints to the massive movable floor.

I’ve enjoyed every single Cirque du Soilel program. World’s Away continues the brilliance.

I highly suggest spending some time checking it out.

Watching "The Middleman" while doing homework.  Very cute series (I really dig Natalie Morales' uniform).  This is one of those shows that the minute you see it, you know it's not getting a second season despite how smart or sweet or low-budget it is... the world just don't work like that).

Never heard of it.
