    I'm hearing really good things said about The Anchorman - look forward to when it opens here in the UK. Regards, Martyn

    Tim Burton remaking Willie Wonka

    Given that I really enjoyed Big Fish, I'm sure John August's screenplay is going to do Roald Dahl's creation proud. Also looking forward to the Corpse Bride whenever that comes out. Regards, Martyn

    Jim Henson's Creature Shop to work on Star Wars prequel

    Dave Elsey (of the Farscape creature shop) has been working as the creative supervisor on Star Wars: Episode III. See http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0255642/ for confirmation at the IMDB. They don't list JHCS as a company involved with this film, so I would suspect that he's working as a freelancer...

    New movies coming out...

    Saw Peter Pan yesterday and thought it was extremely good. However, given the recent coverage of Michael Jackson and the Soham trial (Ian Huntely, etc) there's something quite disturbing about a plot that involves children being kept against their will and being hurt. That said, it's all...

    Have to wait until the weekend (assuming there's any space at any of the showings at my local cinema) before seeing ROTK - but eagerly awaiting to do so! It will also be the first time I've seen any of the triology at the cinema (the rest I've seen on DVD), so it'll be an important film for me...

    No Gods. Troy is going to be an interesting one, even if only for the action. The company I work for is producing the CGI FX for the armies in the same vein as that used in Lord of the Rings. From what I've seen it's going to be *extremely* impressive. For those that have seen the teaser trailer...

    Garfield Movie Update

    Yes, Garfield does look pretty good in CG form. I also agree that not having Odie also as a CG character is something that should been done as you're not going to get the same kind of personality as we've all come to know and love from the cartoon strip (or the animated series). Oh well, these...

    New movies coming out...

    Press manipulation by film studios has been going on as long as media itself. Both are to blame for anything resulting from it. As for violence, it's a cruel fact of life that we can't ignore and the fact that the film is based around an historical event (in the same vein of Schinder's List -...

    You make a film about a religious figure, it's always going to be controversial whether you want it or not - whether it be with the Jewish or Muslim (or any other religion) community. I'm not going to judge the film by the amount of attention it's received in the media - but purely on it's own...

    New movies coming out...

    Yes, I must admin I'm very interested in The Passion of Christ as well. Mel Gibson is a good director and having seen the trailer it looks like a lot of effort went into shooting it. Couldn't hurt to watch it at least once can it? :) Regards, martyn

    Tee Hee - Tim Burton actually came to our offices to check up on work we were doing for BF - things would suddenly go very quiet when he was around :) Never found out if he turned up for our screening or not.. shame :( Regards, Martyn

    Kermit Alive and Well on the Space Station

    Heh - I knew somebody here would pick up on it. I remember Kermit fairly well. Just goes to show how old I'm getting, I guess. Regards, martyn

    One film I'm looking forward to is Ella Enchanted despite the trailer making it look like the live action version of Shrek. Another is Big Fish (which I missed out on at the company screening) and The Triplets of Belleville (one catchy song!).

    New movies coming out...

    Yes, and it has a slightly altered plot from the TV series to make it that more interesting for cinema goers that may have never heard of Red Dwarf. It's also being shot in Australia (the last I heard on the official Red Dwarf web site) as there's no studio space in the UK for it. Should be...

    Coming to America!

    Indeed - New Orleans is a wonderful place to visit. I went there in February 2001 as part of a week-long trip to Orlando and Louisiana. Had a fantastic time at Disney, Universal, Discovery Cove and other touristy things before heading off to New Orleans for a couple of days. Mind you, I've...
