summer movies coming

[ current selection | the postal service – such great heights ]
[ feelin’ | still sore…argh. ]

i got bad sleep last nite, im a little cranky, and my whole bodys still sore. feh. on the bright-side, i think the ass-kicking i received this past saturday accelerated the thinning of my waist…huzzah! ok, ill stop that before marisol gets on my case.

its already may…and i think im still writing april on some documents. oops. time seems to be flying lately…a review of the upcoming return of the king dvd, which comes out may 25th, is already up on ign…wow. the theatricals all fine and stuff, but i generally hold out for the extended editions. the theatrical release dvd is actually earlier than usual (than the previous editions), and doesnt come with as many features as the previous dvds. because its early, it also doesnt feature a preview of the forthcoming extended edition…which doesnt come out til sometime in november. still sounds coo tho, and itll fill the appetites of those who cant (or dont want to) wait for the extended editions.

DAY AFTER
and over in the “holy shit the worlds fucked” genre of cinema, the first review for roland emmerichs the day after tomorrow is up on aicn. the reviewer gave it a positive review, and elaborated on the overall plot and effects. he also mentioned the sick special effects, such as the mass destruction of whole cities by tornadoes and tidal waves…and in particular the smaller details like inhabitants of a building watching bodies and debris rush by before their own building implodes. movies such as these deserve to be seen in the theaters, like the first time you saw the white house incinerated in id4 or the charge of the oliphaunts in rotk…so ill definitely have to check it out.
