This was announced in IMDB in June 18th. The production of the movie Atlas Shrugged is now indefinitely delayed. I have forgotten how many years I have been waiting for that movie. 2? 3? Are they ever going to finish it? They were supposed to have already started the filming.

Straight Story is a new greek movie whose theme is set in an imaginary society, where homosexuality is the norm. The major characters of the movie are two men and their son. Well, this son happens to fall in love with a girl, which ( Read more... )

So glad people actually agree with me that Yoda is not that super-cute, super-wise creature everyone credits him to be! It's not just me and Mystique in the anti-yoda club!!! Besides Star Trek rules! I bought myself a big dose of ST today! The Strangers from the Sky novel and the first season of Enterprise! Interesting evening ahead! I also started ( Read more... )

So that the gunpowder treason will never be forgot, here is a site that I found and explains the events that were mentioned in the film V for Vendetta. You will surprised to find out that the event was originally commemorated for another reason that V would like.
