Bill O’Reilly Behind the Scenes
His legendary temper on display. It’s funny to see him turn it on and off.

Koyaanisqatsi: Life out of Balance
This is a great movie if you haven’t seen it. It came out in the mid-1980s and features stunning music by Phillip Glass. I have it and the sequels on DVD. basically, the film is just videos of nature vs industry. Its’ supposed to be a critique of modern life. It’s hard to take your eyes off it once you start watching.
Here’s the trailer:
Here’s the trailer for the sequel:

REVIEW: Speed Racer
I’m not surprised this movie bombed over the weekend. It suffers from too much gee whiz and not enough solid craft. It’s an endless blur of CGI and color mixed with a lot of talking heads with sporadic action. The end result is a too long, too silly story about evil corporate sponsors vs race car drivers for justice.
I think they were trying for something cutting edge, thinking kids have grown up on video games, so lets make a whole movie that looks like one. The sad thing is, the 1960s cartoon had better animation that sections of this film. It was too gaudy and grainy in places and the colors would make a gay fashion designer wince.
The script was as cartoony as the look of the film. Over all, it screams “rental.”
I think I’ll check out Forbidden Kingdom or Red Belt next.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Trailer
I’ve been less than satisfied with the recent Star Wars movies, but I liked the Clone Wars anime and this new movie looks kind of interesting.
