Terminator Salvation isn’t set to come out till May but everyone’s already really excited about the movie thanks to director Manuel Balce Ceneta McG’s panel discussion during the movie trailer’s premiere at WonderCon last Saturday.

I have to admit that I was a Street Fighter fan way back in college. No, I wouldn’t shame myself in being a fan of the horrid Street Fighter movie! I’m talking about the video game. I used to play Chun-Li while my then boyfriend kicked my butt around practicing the moves of the other characters. So despite the fact that the 1994 Street Fighter film was really bad I couldn’t help but hope that the new movie “Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li” would end up great, after all it is more than a decade after the first Street Fighter movie, right? Well it seems that I am dead wrong since there still isn’t a single good neutral review about the movie.

Danny Boyle takes the Slumdog Millionaire cast to the Santa Monica Pier

The Slumdog kids now evidently the new Hollywood darlings. When they got home, however, it was back to reality. Sure they were given a heroes welcome with huge crowds waiting at the airport and in the streets of Mumbai waiting to greet them, but when it was time to go home it was back to the slums they went.

No I didn’t make a mistake typing this post’s title. What this post is about is the best site to find the best movie posters of all time - TC CANDLER. The great thing about the list in this site is that it really does represent only the best of the movie posters. Truthfully I haven’t even seen some of the old movies there but after seeing the poster I now plan on getting a copy of those movies…now THAT speaks about the effectiveness of the poster, right?

Milk for Life?

Milk may not have won the Best Picture in the Oscars but it sure did move people. In fact it moved them so much that is not hailed by members of the gay community as the movie that will live on. I guess this is true since according to Geoff Korrs of Equality California the movie “will be shown in schools and LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) centers around the world.” In that case, it sure has a captive audience already and will continue to rake in revenue, though maybe not the box office hit type of revenue.

Blu-ray & Oscar Winners

I can still remember back when it was Betamax, then it was VHS, then VCDs, DVDs and now HD DVD and Blu-ray. I guess they got sick of the acronyms. Am glad in a really shallow kind of way because Blu-ray does sound better. Anyway what really does make Blu-ray better than DVDs is not the name but the fact that it uses a a blue-violet laser to read and write data instead of red laser. What this means is that the wavelength of the laser is much shorter making the writing of the data more precise. The other result is that it allows for more data to be stored in the same disc size, hence the extra features in Blu-ray discs or the higher definition of the movies.

You’ll Be Taken Away

Who doesn’t want to be taken away by a very good movie? I think that that is one reason we all love watching films – the good ones, at least, take us somewhere else for an hour or two. They take us to places where we’ve never been before, give us experiences that we have never experienced, and make us feel emotions that we have never felt. These are the movies that last forever in our minds.

I used to think that I did not really like “stupid” funny movies. That is, until I experienced Will Ferrell many years ago. I still can’t stop laughing just thinking about Talladega Nights. And there are many others too. Even Austin Powers makes me laugh. And I remember liking Pink Panther to a certain degree.
