Grand Torino

Great movie! If you have second guessed whether ot not to see it, see it. If you like Clint Eastwood he's as good as ever in this latest film. The movie was filmed here in Michigan and last week I was by the house that was used in the film. Here is a picture. I am VERY excited about Michigans Tax rebates to film makers and how it is impacting michigan and the the available jobs in the film industry.

Wallace and Gromit 20th Anniversary DVD's

Wallace and Gromit 20th Anniversary DVD's

Wallace and Gromit 20th Anniversary DVD's are appearing on the shelves. I was in a video department at a large chain store last night and saw the Wrong Trousers version for sale. I didn't see any new features added to the release but the cover art is new.

I also went online hoping to find the latest W & G outing, A Matter of Loaf and Death, and could not find it available in the states. Amazon UK has it but the shipping and such typically gets kind of high.

It is cool however to see W & G going strong and still coming out with "Cracking"new product.

Stop Motion Animation is strong and here to stay! =)

Wybie

Today I added a page to the web site for the Wybie costume my son and I made for a costume contest. take a look and tell me what ya think.

Al Roker on Howard Stern

Was listening to the Stern show today while at work and heard Al Roker comment on taking his 10 and 6 year old children to see Coraline. He said he liked the movie but it is too scary for young children. Thought it was interesting that here it is the Stern show and even they were talking about Coraline.

Coraline Debut and Victoria Rose

This weekend saw the opening of the Great new Stop motion animated movie Coraline and Tim and I saw it on Saturday. AWESOME movie!

On Sunday we went to the Emagine Theater in Novi, MI for a Costume contest, which we decided Saturday night at 7 to be part of. We rushed to home depot for supplies and created his Wybie costume in 3 hours. Still need to add the crank handle to the helmet and the LED's for the eyes but for a 3 hour turnaround I an satisfied.

We had the opportunity to meet Victoria Rose at the event as well. Victoria handled puppet maintenance for the film. Such a nice person and her stories were fun to hear. =)

more review to follow but for now here's a pic of Tim and Victoria.

Friday the 6th is almost here!

The years of waiting are over.




Can't wait to see it this weekend..maybe twice ;)

They Might Be Giants

With the coming release of the new stop motion movie Coraline and the sounds and trailers that have been put out Inoticed that the "other Father" song sounded familiar. Well it sounded familiar because it is sang by They Might be Giants. I have enjoyed their music for many years and was excited to see they were involved with Coraline.
