Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull


Have you seen the new trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull yet?



Harrison Ford still looks good as Indiana Jones!



At long last the fourth installment of the Indiana Jones series, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull comes out on May 22, 2008! This is one movie that I think a lot of people have been waiting a very long time to see. I know I have. May is going to be a very good month.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Friday night I went to the movies with my girlfriend 'D' to see the Heartbreak Kid with Ben Stiller. I like Ben Stiller, but the Heartbreak Kid is the kind of movie I usually wait to see on dvd. However, 'D' wanted to see it and she laughed the entire two hours.

For me, the most exciting thing about going to the movies Friday night was the surprise showing of the movie trailer for Johnny Depp's new movie, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street!



I was so excited when the trailer came on I almost peed my pants! And from the looks of it, Sweeney Todd is going to be another great Tim Burton Johnny Depp masterpiece and Johnny Depp looks great as the murdering barber!



It's time to get excited about another Johnny Depp movie! Sweeney Todd comes out December 21, 2007, just in time for Christmas. I can't wait!

Watch the trailer... you'll be as excited as I am about Sweeney Todd!

Matildakay Zombie
A few weeks ago Hectic Films put out a call for people to be zombies in their local zombie movie extravaganza: Wretched Flesh. Last Sunday was the big zombie filming day and I came prepared to put on my best zombie face.

As it turned out there were some talented makeup artists who put my zombie face on for me.



You will be so impressed by the zombie makeup in this movie…

Ricky and Jason of Hectic Films are two hard working, talented local filmmakers and two of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. I was very impressed with the amount of people and filmmakers that came together to make this film project come to life. There was no drama. No competition between the various filmmakers. Just an amazing amount of teamwork and great attitudes from everyone involved who were genuinely happy to be working on the project.

Once I had my zombie face… it was time to become a zombie.

“I already have the zombie walk thanks to knee surgery.” I previously joked.

As it turns out, being a zombie is a little harder than it looks. Especially when it comes time to die.

I joined the other zombies, walking slow and stilted, clawing at the ‘live’ people and other zombieness that you’ll have to wait and see in the movie.

Becoming a character and hiding behind the makeup allows one an escape from reality. How many times have I been a zombie in my own life? How many years have I walked through life like an undead zombie, instead of really living? I wondered. I know there were a few years where I didn’t exist beyond being a zombie. But these days the only place you'll see me being a zombie is in Hectic Films Wretched Flesh.

Although the day of filming was long, in the end it was an extremely rewarding experience to be part of such a great project. I can’t wait to see the finished film.
