A musical about a super-hero and a super-villain brought to you by Joss Whedon and comprised of 3 10-minute-ish acts, available on July 15, 17, and 19 and disappearing from the web on July 20th.

A movie that tells you everything you need to know in its title. And it delivers. It is fun. It is very quotable. It even has a very basic plot. All in all a fun movie going experience and it is probably better to see it in a theatre than on video as the “group”…

Saw this article linked on Digg this evening. It basically show how they were able to resurrect Marlon Brando for a reprise of his role as Jor-El in the upcoming Superman Returns. Take a look it is neat and a little creepy at the same time: http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=23646

Thank You for Smoking
Finally went to see “Thank you for Smoking” which presents us with the life of Big Tobacco lobbyist Nick Nailor. Here is a trailer : The movie was very funny, entertaining, and smart.

Serenity
It’s a great movie. If you are a fan of the Firefly series you have probably already seen it. If you haven’t seen the movie, do yourself a favor and go. It’s just like the last couple of star wars movies except it is actually good, and has no aliens or jedi.
