Fireflies and Supervillains and Aliens and Killers: Oh My!

Our first release of the season is finally out. Fireflies in the Jelly-Jars with a very well done official poster. We are proud of the cast and James Mangold making it work. We don't expect it getting box office results and if the critics have something nice to say about it, perhaps they can look at the outstanding direction of James and the performances of Abigail, Daniel and Logan. Robin and Jeffrey's roles are rather small to really pay much attention to.

James had some impressive camera shots and the scenes with the fireflies were so nice to look at.

Abigail hated the dog being killed. Of course, no animals were harmed in the making of the film, but she's an avid animal supporter so her real anger towards the abuse of animals fueled her performance in those moments.

Good luck, Fireflies! Hope you get a good reception!

The cast is set for I Married The Super-villain. Brendan Fraser, Ashley Judd, Jeff Bridges, Cameron Bright and Ryan Simpkins. This means that next week will be the wide release.

Brendan has become a big star in CMP. His hit-list is huge, so we hope with the star power and action behind it that it will be our next money making blockbuster. Jeff Bridges' impressive work as Obadiah in Iron Man last year earned him the opportunity to be a villain in this film.

Earth 3K is our next science fiction film. Collins likes aliens, so he took a bit of care into this upcoming blockbuster hopeful. In a way, it's X-Men-like with the mutants living among humans, some are bad and want humans exterminated while the good believe mutants and humans can co-exist. But it's aliens and there really isn't a huge group like X-Men. Earth 3K is the first film in the series, focusing on the parents of our future hero and the major conflict that would go into the next films. We already have the sequel pitched, but the third one is waiting for the idea to flow.

---------------------------------------------------------

Goldmine Killers is filming quite nicely. It's a thriller but the style is very film noir. Collins as taken film courses and a few classes defined film noir as featuring 'femme fatales, nobody really wins in the end, a detective-like character(doesn't have to be a professional detective), dark settings, somebody wants their lover murdered and pays someone else to do it, etc' the film 'Double Indemnity' is a perfect example of the classic film noir.

Angela would be the Femme Fatale, a trophy-wife wanting her husband whose 40 years older than her killed for access to his wealth. She basically puts a bounty on her husbands head, and hires the men who want it. They have their own agendas, but is Angelina really just using the men to do her dirty work for her? The husband's grown kids are the "detectives" who have a hunch of what their step mother is up to. They find themselves in deeper when they investigate and fight for their lives as well as their father's life.

The word "Goldmine" of course is taken from the phrase 'sitting on a goldmine' or someone whose extremely wealthy.

We are anticipating the release for this one. Could be a hit with the audiences, critics and awards.

Nothing on HBO this week. So go out to the movies or rent something!
