Set in an “Escape From New York”-style dystopic prison-culture (that sounds suspiciously like current American society), slaughter happens, stuff blows up, and the weak are culled like bunnies caught in the headlights of gas-sucking American muscle cars.

Jason Statham does his standard tough-guy job as the scowling Frankenstein, Joan Allen plays a ball-busting warden (perhaps a bit in the mold of Louise Fletcher’s Nurse Ratched), and Ian McShane of “Deadwood” has a solid cameo as the prison-wise mechanic, Coach.

Even Machine Gun Joe gets a new incarnation in the form of Tyrese Gibson, who thankfully is nothing like Stallone’s blustering Italian meatball.

The physical comedy was outstanding and the acting itself was pitch perfect.

Many critics commented on how well they did given what they had to work with, but I think the script was excellent.

Some of the lines were brilliant, but you really have to give the actors credit for improvising.

After Ferrell revealed his singing talents when he sang “Let’s Give ‘Em Something to Talk About”, when Reilly gushed on and on about how great he was, and then said “I’m not sure, but towards the end I think I saw you turn into a Unicorn”, I lost it.

I really lost it when Ferrell’s brother & his family were singing in the car “Sweet Child of Mine”. It was a real classic.

Hell, I think I’ll buy this when it comes out on DVD.

Don’t miss this one. It’s a scream. its magic!

He Was a Quiet Man draws on one of the most morbid aspects of our society and describes it perfectly.

Christian Slater plays the quiet cubicle worker, who, abused and mistreated by his coworkers, decides to shoot up the office.

Fortunately for him, another man in his position takes aim first, and Slater takes him down with the bullets he had originally meant for his coworkers.

After the aftermath, his coworkers whom he loathed, treat him as a hero; and the object of his desire, played by Elisha Cuthbert, is paralyzed from a bullet wound.

While Cuthbert initially enlists Slater to help her end her life, the two eventually form a bond that would have never otherwise occurred.

The movie leads us down a path of insanity and through the surreal, morbid, and sickened world of Slater’s character almost flawlessly; and delivers a thought provoking, eye opening take on the mind of a psychotic would be murderer.

A very quick post for the fans!

Season three will open with a two-hour episode, set to air Monday, September 22, 2008.

The premiere of the third volume, “Villains”, will be preceded by a one-hour clip show of the past two seasons. “Villains” was originally designed to be included within the second season; however, due to the writers’ strike, the volume was carried over into season three.

The lead-in to “Villains” featured a scene with Sylar, which was shown as the final scene of the “Generations” finale.

yes … we will follow up this post ….

If you are smart then you have seen the kind of movies Ben Stiller and Jack Black are in, and you know that the humor is quite fast and sometimes very crude.

If you are offended by this movie, then don’t see it.

Go see Space Chimps (good movie) , unless you are going to be offended by degradation of Life on other Planets, etc.

Just, take the movie for what it is - a movie is meant to target a specific audience and bring humor and happiness.

The movie was not made out of malice, no one said “Let’s make fun of Asians and Retards,” and then popped out “Tropic of Thunder.”

The movie they think they’re making… isn’t a movie anymore.

Starting from the title to the credits, the movie is not about a heroic battle or an indelible mistake by a over zealous, self absorbed government.

It is about understanding a mindset.

If any of you have ever read Francis Fukuyama… its about history repeating itself.

Its about the common man being a pawn, about how life really is not a ‘great equalizer’.

Redford does a brilliant job looking at showing the dynamic impact numerous aspects/events and individuals who impact our lives truly have.

The self serving ego of one senator, or the inability of a teacher to persuade a student, or a reporter having to turn a blind eye to conscience because of a need to put a meal on the table the next day.

It is nice to finally watch a Hollywood war related film without a heroic massacre.

“Baby Mama” is no comic masterpiece, but it’s at least as good as any number of formulaic comedies churned out by Hollywood and much better than many others.

Fey is the uptight career woman who hears her biological clock ticking at 37 and wants to have a baby before it’s too late.

Poehler is the low-class, free-wheeling blonde who agrees to be her surrogate mother for a hefty fee.

The usual odd-couple conflicts ensue, maternal instincts kick in, and in traditional sitcom style, everyone gets what they want in the end.

Ever sat through one of those movies that you’re hoping something’s going to happen - and it doesn’t?

The Promotion is one such movie.

Here’s the uninspiring story of two guys - both intent on being promoted within a corporate supermarket franchise.

That’s the premise - short and sweet.

Naturally there’s some tension between both men competing for the position, but overall the humor is weak; the competitive nature of the applicants is unconvincing and the story flat-lines a couple of minutes into the film.

sorry but its true, it doesn’t cut the mustard!

Mike Myers is a talented guy, but this vehicle is an embarrassment.

The funniest parts are juvenile, unfortunately, outnumbered by gags that are simply more juvenile or, worse yet, juvenile and mean-spirited.

For example, some of the jokes directed at Verne Troyer’s character sound like they were uttered by a 15-year-old classroom bully, not written by an intelligent man in his forties.

More scenes of young Pitka might have explained better how he grew into the adult he became, and Rajneesh could have been fleshed out a bit.

I suspect that a lot of character development and back story were left on the cutting room floor.

What should have been cut were the cameos that were either pointless or self-referential without being truly funny.

Microsoft Corporation last night (Wednesday) unwrapped another beta version (IE8 Beta 2) for more testing its also available for all consumers, this is the corporation now unveiling new privacy and security features as the company battles the upstage Firefox’s browser.

The new browser IE8 includes a browsing tool called an accelerator, which allows you to highlight text on a Web site and then choose from a variety of functions, including different search engines, language translation or map displays.

Now for a spot of technical stuff for the Internet Explorer fans:

Microsoft Corporation now commands 73% of the internet browser market, while Mozilla’s Firefox has 19% market share, this is according to research firm Net Applications.

Microsoft’s lead has fallen in recent years.

Just four years ago, Microsoft’s market share was more than 91%. In addition to Firefox, Apple Inc. is becoming more of a competitor as strong sales of Macintosh computers have boosted use of its Safari browser, which has about 6% of the market.

Use of Firefox shot up in June when a new version was released.

More than eight million people downloaded the application in the first 24 hours after it went public.
