Stealth






























The one thing that sucks about the CG industry is you always have friends that worked in movies like Stealth and you have to go see it with them. In my case a thursday night 12.01am showing. Rotten tomatoes gave the movie a whopping 17% rotten rating at the moment and other reviews will probably lower that to %5 or so. But who needs reviews when you have the only warning you need printed clearly on the poster for all to see:

"From the director of XXX and Fast and the Furious"

XXX especially holds a dear place in my heart for its ingenious use of a sony handycam spray painted green and a tube attached to it as "heat seeking missile" , standart firearm for the prague police. They had this closeup shot where you can see clearly the rewind , ffw and play buttons. Makes me wonder where the 120 mil $ budget went to.

Anyway , I am taking one for the team and seeing stealth today , in the unlikely event of it being good , i'll write up a short review.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince




















WOW! havent read such a great book in a looooooooong time. I picked up the last copy at borders by sheer chance , they were sold out and the info desk guy was announcing that they have just one copy available with a faulty first page. I happened to be right in front of the desk and snatched it , some of the kids and adults running...no..sprinting to the info desk at the moment looked like they were going to mug me when I left the store but it went fine :)

so definitely pick up yours and read it!

War of the worlds
















Here is my short WOTW review:

go see it now!

The scene where the first tripod appear was some of the best 20 minutes i spent in my life. Spielberg really knows how to build a excellent scene. Kudos to everyone at ILM for a flawless job.
