Hey everyone, Brent here with a small update.
As many of you know this weekend is very special, no not because Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is coming out, but because it is my 25th birthday. So send me lots of gifts! My lovely wife's birthday is tomorrow, which means it's gonna be a nonstop party! Sadly, this also means that I can't make any promises about getting a review for Pirates up. I plan to see it, maybe even as early as tomorrow, but no promises for a review up this weekend.
For those of you who listened to our Summer Movie Preview, I really think my opinion of the story in the second film will depend on the payoff in this one, so hopefully it won't disappoint. Sam said this is the film he is looking forward to the most this summer, so it will be great to see his take as well. Reviews are split right now, which is kind of a bummer, but I am hoping it can serve up the first great blockbuster of the summer.
Later party peoples.

As you may all know, I am a bit of a Batman freak. I loved Batman Begins and while I was looking forward to the The Dark Knight next summer, there wasn't much for a Batfan like myself to get excited about...until now.
A couple of weeks ago on the film's offical site, the logo for the film was posted. Well, yesterday it was found that you could now click on the logo which took you to another site featuring a picture of Gotham City's new District Attorney, Harvey Dent, with the slogan "I Believe In Harvey Dent" at the bottom.
Now, this alone, while not exciting for most people, is pretty cool for Batman fanatics. Little did we know, that it was gonna get even better.
Yesterday, some customers at various comic book stores in Hollywood found Joker cards hidden throughout the store with the message "I Believe In Harvey Dent Too" scribbled across it. So, sure enough, if you go to www.ibelieveinharveydenttoo.com you see the same Harvey Dent picture, but this time it has been defaced and features a form for submitting your email address.
Upon submitting your email address, users were greeted with a creepy email complete with a webpage link and what appeared to be coordinates. Clicking on the link took you to a page where you could then enter the coordinates, which removed a pixel from the Harvey Dent image, slowly revealing another image underneath it.
Since yesterday thousands of people have entered coordinates and while the picture isn't fully uncovered as of yet, we now have a pretty good idea what it's a picture of...
The Joker. Pretty freaking sweet marketing campaign in my opinion. I am now officially excited.

Poor reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and many other sites. That's a shame. I wasn't sure I would be able to get out and see it this weekend anyway, but now I've really lost interest in it. There is always a possibility of a review though, so keep checking back.
And if you aren't interesting in anything out at the theaters, why not take my advice from the last post and rent Pan's Labyrinth.
Pan's Labyrinth on DVD Tomorrow!

Hey everyone, hope you all had had a good Mother's Day weekend. I just wanted to post about the wonderful film, Pan's Labyrinth, that will be arriving on DVD tomorrow. This film ranked number two in my Top Ten Movies of 2006 and is sure to become one of my all time favorites. I highly recommend you check it out, it really is such a unique film.
And for those of you who missed them, check our reviews:
