INVICTUS Trailer

Starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon, Invictus tells the story of the 1995 South African rugby team and their incredible bid for the World Cup. Inspired by the indelible but newly elected President Nelson Mandela (Freeman), team captian Francois Pienaar (Damon) helps lead his team in a powerful charge towards victory, but, more importantly, towards uniting a very diverse and racially torn South Africa.

It’s rare that a movie trailer makes me tear up, but this one did it. I’m very pleased to see them try and recreate the very particular South African accent, though if Matt Damon can pull it off is yet to be seen. Looks good in the trailer, and Matt Damon rarely disappoints. Neither does Morgan Freeman, and the two of them together in a film like this really excites me.

Clint Eastwood directs, yet another element making this a film to watch for possible Oscar bids.

My Beef With Roman Polanski

Roman-Polanski-001Child molesters are child molesters. I don’t care if you rescue dolphins or cure cancer, if you molest a child, you should pay for it. Nor do I care if you did it decades ago. I’m looking at you, Roman Polanski. You’re going to special hell, and it’s not for talking in the theater.

Polanski now has his own tab under news on Variety.com. One of the articles is about how his victim wants the charges dropped. On one hand, I totally get this. Being known as That Girl Who Got Raped By That Filmmaker has to really, really suck. And I’m all about forgiveness and moving on. I am sincerely sorry for the troubles it has caused her.

BUT HER FORGIVENESS DOES NOT EXCUSE ROMAN POLANSKI’S BEHAVIOR! He committed a crime. He should pay. I don’t care how goodChinatown is. He raped a little girl. If anything, the pain he’s causing her now is lemon juice squeezed all over her gaping flesh wound. He must account for that.

Roman, I know you’re probably sorry. I know you most likely regret your behavior. That does not mean you should get off the hook. You ran from the authorities, hid in foreign countries, did what you could to avoid paying the piper. Now, you have to account for what you did. That’s just how it is.

Here’s a thought. If you hadn’t run from justice in the first place, you’d probably already be out of jail. Just think about that.

End of the world as Hollywood knows it

Cnevt new had a really interesting article that touch on file sharing issues, check it out

filesharingThe end is coming for DVDs, traditional movie rentals, and yes, much of your cable money will likely disappear.

The news isn’t entirely bad; you still have iTunes and Netflix–places where people spend money to buy or rent movies. You still have Hulu, Crackle.com, and YouTube, which are generating ad revenue by streaming full-length films and TV shows online. But the reality is that the amount of money that these legal operations generate is far less than the returns your industry is used to making. Unless some dramatic technological breakthrough occurs that can defeat file sharing, then you are staring at checkmate. Your business is headed for the same meat grinder that has chewed up the recorded music sector and print publishing. What will come out the other side is still uncertain but will likely be much smaller.

I’m sure many of you will write this off as the apocalyptic rantings of Silicon Valley propeller heads. But I urge you to pay attention to recent events…..
