It's not an easy feeling inside, that feeling inside your gut or those butterfly feelings. When you leave this world you can never take the material things with you but your memories are always there in your heart and that is something special that can never be taken away from you. I have found an easy way to preserve my memories of my love ones who are now in a better place that I can see them everyday. I started making DVD Memories by taking pictures and place them in a movie DVD format that can be viewed on your laptop, desktop or on your TV screen with added music to go with your DVD Memory. It's a great way to start the healing process for that love one that you were so close to.

Director Kevin Lima (Enchanted), who is currently in pre-production of The Spook's Apprentice, a medieval fantasy for Warner Bros, already has his next project lined up. Also for Warner, it will be a new interpretation of the medieval folk tale Tom Thumb. Interestingly written by Robert Rodat (The Patriot), the untitled film departs considerably from the classic tale.

An arrogant knight who’s shrunk to 6 inches while assigned to protect a princess and then discovers what it means to be a real hero.

No word on when production will start or as to who may star, but Warner believes this will be one of their big money earners whatever the year is when it's released. Tom Thumb will apparently be a CGI creation while the rest of the film will be live-action...it sort of works with animals but will it be realistic enough for a human being, whether he's tiny or not?

I apologize for the sometimes hard-to-read subtitles, but it's from the official website! Roadside Romeo marks Walt Disney Pictures' first venture into Indian cinema, in co-production with Yash Raj Films, one of the biggest local studios.

Disney must have confidence in the Indian market as, in addition to two more animated features with Yash Raj Films, they've begun planning four live-action films on their own, the first two of which are just about ready to begin production.

'The 19th Step' starring top South Indian actor Kamal Hassan, directed by Bharat Bala [...] will feature Japanese star Asano Tadanabo and Indian actress Asin. Director Bala is one of India's best-known music video directors. "Step" is said to revolve around the ancient Indian martial arts form Kalarippayattu and will be a multilingual Indian release.

'Zokkomon,' starring top child actor Darsheel Safari and directed by Satyajit Bhatkal, is a children's tale.

As for Roadside Romeo, which opens October 24th, it is written and directed by newcomer Jugal Hansraj, stars the voice talents of Indian stars Saif Ali Khan (Dil Chahta Hai/Do Your Thing), Kareena Kapoor (Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.../Happiness & Tears) and Javed Jaffrey (Fire). The film follows a pampered dog who is abandoned by his owner and learns to survive in the streets of Mumbai.

I'm all for American studios producing movies out of the US. Disney is already doing it in China and France, Columbia in India and China, and Warner Bros in France, India and Italy (and those are only the ones I know about). But why stop there? Why not release the movies you make in those movies internationally? Seems like it could only be a win situation wouldn't it?

Brandon Fibbs of Christianity Today did a review on BHC.  He only gave it 2 out of 4 stars.  In the family corner he writes:

Beverly Hills Chihuahua is rated PG for some mild thematic elements mostly involving dog fights. While the scenes don't play very long, nor are they in any way graphic, they may frighten some small children. There's not much offensive here aside from some very tame innuendo that will go right over kids' heads, and a male dog obviously patterned after a gay male stereotype.

 Fibbs writes:

In a year light on family films, Beverly Hills Chihuahua may be one of parents' better bets. Full of exciting adventure, admirable messages, and good, clean fun, it just may be a must see for families. But be warned, its bite is worse than its bark!

Ay, Chihuahua! Beverly Hills Chihuahua is better than its premise and trailer might lead you to believe. But not by much.

This is Lassie's world: all the dogs understand humans and some humans even speak a little dog.

When we first meet the Chihuahua Chloe (voice of Drew Barrymore), decked out in a gleaming Harry Winston diamond collar, Italian pink leather booties and a frilly pink skirt, she is being dropped off at a doggie beauty parlor for a spa treatment. It isn't long before we see her back at home for a "play date"—lying out by the pool with her favorite dog pals all clad in an assortment of bikinis, dresses, berets and sunglasses. (As ridiculous as the scene looks and sounds, it would be funnier if it weren't also all too often reality.)

Chloe is one pampered pooch. She spends her days doted on by her wealthy owner Vivian (Jamie Lee Curtis), dining on steak and lying about on silk cushions. Chloe is so wrapped up in her over-indulged, pampered life that she barely even notices those outside her circle of coddled friends, including the amorous, working-class Papi (voice of George Lopez), who belongs to Sam (Manolo Cardona), Vivian's landscape gardener. Somehow, despite her rebuffs and haughty condescension, Papi remains devoted to his puppy Prima Donna.

...Chloe is dognapped by a canine fighting ring who is convinced that she will bring a handsome reward.

Chloe escapes from her captors with the help of an enigmatic, street-smart German shepherd named Delgado (voice of Andy Garcia) and together they set out from Mexico City to find Chloe a way back home.

Technically, the CGI work is integrated nearly seamlessly with the live action footage. The dogs may be real, but their mouths and expressions are manipulated to give the impression of speech.

It drives home the point of friendship and loyalty, traits Chloe has never experienced nor truly been called on to provide. In Delgado, her German shepherd protector, Chloe learns for the first time what it means to keep your word and stick with someone even in the worst of times.

Chloe also learns that, though she may be small, even the small are mighty and can play a part in the most ominous of situations.

I have seen this movie before but didn't get to note the name so this morning the movie was on Bravo T.V. http://www.bravo.ca/SCHEDULE/ and on both occasions I have cried, actually wept. An extraodinary movie about love, culture, faith, war, survival, friendship and sacrifice. This show really shows how humans--can come this world as sweet cuddly baby's and then eventually turn out to be hateful to one another. Compassion is needed in this world there is enough hate already. The question we need to ask ourselves is "Why can't we be kind to one another even to our own race, family or friends?"

Please take the time and rent this movie and watch it with friends or family and relish in the message it teaches you. I promise if you watch this movie and you once feel the need to chastise another human being you won't ever do it again. Spread peace where ever you go today and as you watch the end of the movie look and listen to message you are given and pass it on your children or nephew or friends and family.

Bedtime Stories is a new Disney movie directed by Adam Shankman (Hairspray), starring Adam Sandler (You Don't Mess With The Zohan), Keri Russell (August Rush), Guy Pearce (Traitor), Courteney Cox Arquette (FX's Dirt), Russell Brand (Forgetting Sarah Marshall), Aisha Tyler (Balls Of Fury), Lucy Lawless (Sci Fi's Battlestar Galactica), Jonathan Pryce (Leatherheads) and Richard Griffiths (the Harry Potter films) among others.

The film, written by Matt Lopez (The Wild) and Tim Herlihy (Mr. Deeds), focuses on a guy who discovers that the bedtime stories he tells his niece and nephew mysteriously come true. Bedtime Stories premieres in most countries around Christmas/New Year's. I think Sandler is a great, underrated actor, but this seems to be among his lesser films. In any case there'll always be Keri and Courteney to look at, so that's a plus. What do you guys think?

 http://www.fireproofthemovie.com/

This is a movie with a good message and lots of Catholic endorsements.  It starts this weekend and needs support to stay in the theaters beyond its first showing.  Give it a try and let me know what you think.  I will concede up front that there are some things in this marriage I would like to have seen (like children), and since it was done by evangelicals, the delivery is a bit different than we are used to, but the message is good, nevertheless, and there is enough action to keep it from just being a "chick" flick.

SPEEDRACER

GO!

Plot: The story begins with Speed Racer who is a young man with natural racing instincts whose goal is to win The Crucible.

Trivia: Keanu Reeves turned down the role of Racer X.

Director: The Wachowski Brothers

®      The brothers were also heavily involed with The Matrix

®      It is clear from previous movies and Speed Racer the main common thread is special effects

REVIEW

This week’s movie was Speed Racer.  For me it was the first time seeing this movie.  Below are just some things that I have sourced over the internet about the movie and then my review.

Some Vitals:

®      Enter…Zombie King was made for approx $120,00,000

®      In the United States Speed Racer grossed a total of $43,929,341, so it is comfortable to say it was a flop.  Personally I think this is because of many reasons, marketing, cast choice, the fact that if you don’t give the movie proper credit from its original source (the cartoon) then I think fans are very quick to say that its horrible and refuse to see it again.  This was clear with The Dark Knight, people didn’t see it just once, they went back 3 or 4 times.

®      One of the production companies were Warner Bros.

®      One of the distributors was Warner Bros.

As I said before, I hadn’t actually seen the movie before it was shown in class.  Personally I didn’t understand the whole idea (sorry to say that I didn’t watch the cartoon) of making this cartoon into a feature film.  I know that at the moment people go crazy over cartoon/comic remakes.  But really I didn’t understand how they would hold my attention for a whole film, let alone 135 long minutes.  It was painful.  I also thought to myself, they spent $120,000,000 making it, now I know that in theory it sounded good because after all Spiderman, Batman, X-Men all cost a lot of money if not more than Speed Racer, but let’s face it Speed Racer does not even compare to those movies.  Even with the Wachowski on board it couldn’t save this movie.  Sad I know because for the fans that waited such a long time for it to be released and only to be let down really is a horrible feeling (trust me it has happened to me).  In my opinion all the money spent and movie reels used to make this film really was a waste of time.  In saying this, from a non personal view Speed Racer did have some good elements, these being that the visuals of the movie were really good and stayed consistent throughout, I did like the vibrant colours and the fact that it did bring a ‘cartoon’ feel to the movie.  However in saying that, the performances from not one but all the actors was just horrible, who would have thought these people have been acting for many years, they all appeared to be novices.  If that was supposed to be like that and was supposed to ‘add to the movies feel’ then shame shame shame, it didn’t add a thing if anything it took any shred of hope this movie had away.  I also didn’t like that the depth of the characters, it was dull at best and didn’t add any back story to the movie at all.  One thing I pride in movies is the humour, I don’t mind what sort of humour it is, as long as it is funny.  Throughout the Speed Racer film, humour was inserted and ejected by me, it wasn’t funny at all; if anything it was just another thing that made me hate the film even more.

I know that what I have written could be classified as a bit harsh, but for me if a movie is advertised to the max promising certain things to the viewer then I believe that it should be delivered.  Personally I hate waiting on the edge of my seat for a long time waiting for a particular movie to come out and half way through the film your blood is boiling because you can’t believe how bad it is and you’re ready to walk out of the cinema.

ACT ONE:  You’re introduced to the main character; you see his life is racing and you learn something about him; that he is driven and fearless.  You also get a back story to his ‘dead’ brother (that he is doing this all for his brother).  You are told that his dream is to win the Crucible.

ACT TWO: Plot thickens and you find you learn that he missed out on a place in the race of his life.  This was the boring part of the movie – but then again it’s the middle stuff that is boring.

ACT THREE: He finds a place in the race, and is determined to win it.  However, not without its complications.  He learns that he must have the help from his rival and win the race.  He finds out about his brother, wins the race and whoa the movie finishes.  He overcomes all of his problems and everything is resolved.

During the month of September, the Church puts Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta and St. Pio of Pietrelcina before us.

Blessed Mother Teresa died on September 5, 1997, and was beatified by Pope John Paul II on October 10, 2003.  Because Mother Teresa lived in our day, there are volumes written about her life and many are first-hand accounts by people who knew her.  She founded the Missionaries of Charity to work among the poor and dying in the streets of Calcutta.  Her work drew the attention of the world’s leaders and among other honors, she received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.  Her fame did not affect her, however, and she boldly talked about the culture of life versus the culture of death in the presence of the rich and powerful.  She believed in the inherent dignity and worth of every human being and lived her life serving others.

 Mother Teresa  is considered the definitive story of her life.  This film, shot in ten countries, was five years in the making.  It shows how Mother Teresa was able to do her work without getting entangled in the political, religious and social barriers which could have discouraged a less determined missionary. 

Mother Teresa:  The Legacy was the official film for the beatification of Mother Teresa.  It contains interviews with Mother Teresa and chronicles her legacy.

 My favorite pick for a Mother Teresa movie is Mother Teresa:  Her Heart Found the Forgotten, Her Faith Found a Way, which stars Olivia Hussey whom we first met in Romeo and Juliet years ago.  More recently she has performed in Jesus of Nazareth and The Jeweler’s Shop.  In this film, Olivia Hussey portrays the fearless missionary with a vision, the holy nun, and the servant of the poor. 

A different format is an animated film called The Fifth Word:  Mother Teresa of Calcutta.  This film is a documentary in the “Giants of Peace” collection and was nominated for the Mother Teresa International Film Festival in Calcutta.

Padre Pio’s feast day is September 23.  Francesco was born into a shepherd’s family and entered the Capuchin novitiate at the age of 15.  This holy priest received the stigmata at the age of 30 while praying before a crucifix.  He was a gifted confessor, and it was said that he could read hearts.  It was reported  that some people would deliberately conceal their sins or confess false sins and Padre Pio would admonish them to tell the truth and repent.  Padre Pio endured excruciating physical suffering coupled with great joy and persecution during his life.  He died in 1968 and was canonized by Pope John Paul II in 2002.  There are numerous documentaries about this contemporary saint and a couple of dramatizations as well.  In the award-winning film, Padre Pio, Miracle Man,  the viewer meets the young boy and follows him throughout his life up to the time of his death.  The Night of the Prophet is told through the eyes of a journalist who while seeking a story, discovered in Padre Pio a man who lived Christian purity and charity to the utmost.   Even skeptics were moved by this saint, and countless thousands were privileged to confess to him and receive his blessing. 

Maximilian Kolbe, also an Auschwitz martyr,  is celebrated by the Church on August 14.  This humble man, a Conventual Franciscan, had a great love for the Blessed Mother and took the name Maximilian Maria in her honor.  He founded the  Immaculata Movement  which was dedicated to converting sinners, opposing freemasonry, spreading devotion to the Miraculous Medal and of course spreading devotion to the Blessed Mother.

Suffering from tuberculosis, Maximilian was tireless in spreading devotion to Our Lady, and he published  a magazine called Knight of the Immaculate.  He also printed a Catholic daily newspaper.  He went to Japan to spread the devotion there, founded a monastery, and printed a Japanese version of his magazine. 

He  returned to Poland because of his poor health and started a radio station.  His monastery there had 800 men and was completely self-sufficient.  Monasteries were a target for the Nazis, and on September 19, 1939, he was arrested following the Nazi invasion of Poland.  He was held briefly and then released, but was arrested again when the Nazis thought his presses were being used for anti-Nazi publications.   He was sent to Auschwitz and there, after serving his fellow prisoners and being terribly abused by the guards, gave his life in exchange for the life of a married man with young children.  You can learn more about him in this film. and this one.

The Feast of the Assumption is celebrated on August 15, so it is also a good time watch any of a number of good films about the Blessed Mother.  For this month, I suggest Mary, the Mother of God, another in the series of the Footprints of God.

The result is here, and it's worth the wait. Here is Salon's Ultimate Family DVD List.

Seeing the four films that were "THE UNDISPUTED CHAMPIONS"... I'm already cheering.

July is a sparse month for Saint movies, but don’t despair.  There are other options.  Before getting to those, however, July has a very important saint about whom a couple of movies have been made.  That is St. Maria Goretti, whose feast is July 6.  Maria Goretti was born in 1890 and was brutally murdered at the age of 12 as she defended her purity.  She forgave her attacker and his testimony was used in the process for her beatification.   Maria Goretti is patroness of the young and of rape victims, and she is invoked against poverty.  She is truly a saint for our day.

The first movie is simply called Maria Goretti.  This is another in the wonderful and informative series of Italian films about the saints which was filmed on location and was done with historical accuracy.  This movie, made without the flash of Hollywood-style films, tells of the grinding poverty and hardship faced by the people who worked the land for others under terrible conditions and rampant disease.  Martina Pinto in the lead role as Maria and Luisa Ranieri and Massimo Bonetti as her parents, portray the deep love and faith which enabled them to survive in an atmosphere of hate and mistrust.  Flavio Insinna who portrayed John Bosco in another movie, struggled with the injustice and depravation of the people and seemed headed out of the priesthood because he couldn’t reconcile the problems.   In the end though , he realized that “there is no injustice, misery or suffering that can defeat the strength of a pure heart.”  The second move is Fourteen Flowers of Pardon and is a documentary with historical photographs and footage of Maria’s canonization. 

The Pauline Year began on June 29 with the Feast of St. Peter and St. Paul.  This entire year will be a wonderful opportunity to get to know the “Apostle to the Gentiles.”  There are numerous movies  about St. Paul now available.  Check out the links and find some that catch your interest.  A good one to start with is Apostle Paul and the Earliest Churches.  This 48-minute film traces Paul’s missionary journeys with colorful graphics and maps to help the viewer visualize the extent of his travels.  On-sight filming  provides the geographic context for understanding the dedication Paul had to spread the Faith.  It also helps the viewer understand the different challenges Paul faced with the different local churches.  In less than one hour, one can get a greater appreciation for the work of the persecutor-turned evangelist, St. Paul.

The downside is that since Disney bought Pixar in 2006 the viewer has to succumb to what Eisenhower warned America about before your grandpa’s pubes turned grey: The Disney-Media complex. I don't know the length in time of WALL-E since I was floating on a cloud of disbelief for the entire movie. There was no war in Iraq, no floods, no recession - the only thing that existed was me, my son, my wife, and a couple of robots falling in love. Before the movie I experienced the longest one minute thirty seconds of my life.  So before pressing play on the trailer below for BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA get some provisions because it's gonna be a while.

If you wanted to create a film, but wanted to know what genres are the most popular movie genres, you could start by analyzing the top box office movies of all time.

Similarly, if you completed your film and want to successfully promote it, you might see from the list of the top 50 box office movies below that your film might not fit into the most popular movie genres using this research below. For example, since comedy is one of the most popular genres, you could decide to add a cutscene(s) of a humorous conversation between two people if the movie can accommodate it in terms of plot. That way, when you go to a distributor, you could find "yet" another way to market your film!

There are many variations you could come up with, you just have to be creative and find new ways to market your film! A chart is below of the top 50 Top Box Office Movies, their top grosses, what genre(s) they are and out of the top 50 films, how popular is their genre(s).
Please let me know if you had any creative thoughts and still want to explore them by posting a comment and/or emailing me, Jonathan at moviedistributionfacts@gmail.com.

The results from the graph below show the top 50 box office gross hit movies of all time. They are separated into multi genre movies with information from IMDB.com categorizing them into genres. The top movie genres are Drama, Romance, Action, Adventure, Animation, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Comedy, Crime, Family & Thriller. Other genres did not make the list. The results are not out of 100%, rather 50 x the number of genres.)The movies are with their respective genres the highest in obviously Action- 52% (26 out of the top 50 movies had the action genre in the film) of the 50 movies and even higher in Adventure- at 66% (33 out of the top 50 movies had adventure.) This is of course obvious that people go to see action and adventure the most.

Lets concentrate on the other most popular genres below :

Sci Fi, Comedy, Fantasy and Romance are the most popular. 16 Sci Fi movies have made over 200 million box office receipts, the same as comedy. Following this Fantasy and Romance share the same split, 20% each of the top 50 movies.

What to learn from this research?
To add as many genres to your film as possible to market it!

The Panda in question is Po (Jack Black).  Po would like nothing better than to be a part of The Fabulous Five:  five animals each representing a different fighting style of the martial arts.  The Five are Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Monkey (Jackie Chan, who deserved to have more lines, but then, it's not Jackie's movie),  Mantis (Seth Rogen), Viper (Lucy Liu), and Crane (David Cross).  Po dreams of joining this group and impressing them with his fighting abilities, but there are a couple of problems with this dream.  Problem one:  Po 's family is in the noodle soup business, and problem two:  Po lacks ANY kind of physical conditioning for Kung Fu.

Meanwhile, atop of The Faboulous Five's mountain home, bad news is afoot.  The ancient turtle Oogway (Randall Duk Kim) is having visions of the evil Tai Lung (Ian McShane) escaping his prison cell and returning to the mountain to seek his revenge against the Master of the Five, Shifu (Dustin Hoffman).  Oogway and Shifu decide that only the Dragon Master will be able to restore peace to the valley.  To find the Dragon Master, the Fabulous Five will face off against each other to determine the Dragon Master.

This is a perfect opportunity for Po's family to sell lots of noodles.  Po, on the other hand, sees this as an opportunity to get close to his heroes.  And, Po does indeed get close to his heroes, but the results are completely unexpected, as Oogway names Po as the Dragon Master.  Despite Shifu's protestations, Oogway insists that Po be trained for the coming battle.

It's obvious right away that NOBODY thinks Po stands a chance.  Even worse, NOBODY wants Po around, and have no problems making that clear.  Tigress is particularly resentful, as she felt that Oogway was going to choose her as the Master.  Meanwhile, Po's training is painful for both Po and Shifu.  I should say that it's painful for them and hilarious for us.  The Five's training room is an insane obstacle course of spiked wheels, flaming floors, and unstable surfaces, and Po can't handle any of it.

But Po isn't ready to give up, despite his doubts.  In one of the best of the quiet scenes, Po and Shifu realize that they are meant to work together as Master and Student.  Shifu isn't sure just how, but he does see a glimmer of hope in the big bear. That's good, because the Five have gone off to seek out and defeat Tai Lung, who did escape from prison in a hair-raising battle scene.  Shifu, meanwhile discovers that Po's motivation is food, and uses that motivation to train Po.  The climax of the training scenes gives new meaning to the phrase "food fight".

The climax shouldn't be a big surprise, and I don't think there were meant to be any surprises at the outcome.  Still, getting to this outcome is nothing short of funny and amazing.  The kung fu sequences were blazingly paced, invoking Jackie Chan's style more than once, although Chan only provides vocal support to the movie.  Furthermore, Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger's screenplay offers several moments of verbal and visual comedy that kept me laughing and smiling all the way through.  I find it very interesting that this year, two of the best action movies I have seen revolve around martial arts, and both feature Jackie Chan, even though, as I said, he's in a supporting capacity this time around.  I have a feeling that if KUNG FU PANDA continues to ride high at the box office, we'll be seeing a follow-up within the next few years.

Hi everyone:)

It is going to be a short one this time around, but I thought I might talk a little bit about the green stars of the screen. After all, Hulk is opening up today. The first one wasn't so great, but I think this one should be better. After all, Edward Norton is an absolutely wonderful actor. Dark, but natural. A very good choice for the Hulk. That aside we are actually talking about the characters today and not so much the actors so let's get into it. What is so great about these green stars that we completely get enamored with them and we can watch them for two hours straight. Besides the fact that the brain naturally triggers either growth and maturity with green or they associate mold with it. But I don't think that is our problem because we are not trying to eat the characters.

The Hulk always has been an amazing character, because he has no control over his circumstances. Very Dr. Jackel and Mr. Hyde. Strangely enough he has never been my favorite green character though.

My favorite one is Shrek. He is kind and a little rotten all put together. He is definitely a legend. Someone I would hang out with on a regular basis. That guy is a lot of fun. I suppose it helps that he is voiced by Mike Meyers and in a rated PG or G movie (I can't remember which). Anyways, he would be a lot of fun.

My second favorite green character is Kermit the Frog. Who doesn't love Kermit? I love that movie "The Muppet Movie." People can say what they say about it, but it is absolutely great. Songs, ridiculous humor, and rigged with stars. So much fun, but really what would the movie be without that green little frog? Not much at all. Kermit is the central straight player of the movie, but that green really makes him pop. Jim Henson definitely knew what he was doing.

Alright, I have to take off and make my terrific day!

Have a good one:)

Another great benefit of the service is that the backup copies can be edited for content. This means you have the option of watching Hollywood movies without being exposed to offensive material. We even offer two types of editing for each backup. You can choose either an edit similar to “PG-13” or an edit similar to “PG.”

We believe a movie does not become great by its content alone but also by the way it is presented. That’s why our experienced video and audio editing team takes pride in removing offensive material while maintaining the look and feel of the movie. This makes Good Movies the best way to buy your favorite movies and even edited movies!

Overall, 2.5 hours with two monkeys sitting still on their bums enjoying the flick.  If they can stand still that long, its a good one.  We enjoyed it very much, a future DVD purchase.  Would love to say stuff about it but I'd throw in spoilers.  Just go see it.
