BABIES

Babies - a documentary about the lives of four babies growing up in different countries comes out Mother's Day weekend. You have to watch the preview to get the whole effect, but Babies looks so heartwarming that I know I will have to take my mother with me. (most likely what the filmmakers had in mind) The babies being filmed are from San Fransisco, Japan, Mongolia, and Namibia. The idea of the film is that we are all similar in early stages of life.

In Your Face, but Why?

The movie scene is changing flat is out and 3-D is the new buzz. Leading the pack is Avatar. The film is still playing in some theatres and made so much money that it got Hollywood's head turning. To catch up in the race, movies like Clash of the Titans and How to Train a Dragon have been converted to 3-D. Looks like some of the other big movie makers wanted a slice of the in your face pie. However, are 3-D movies killing the quality of movies? Also, will people pay the extra price for non 3-Dish type films?

What the big question is, is 3-D killing the movies? If people have stuff flying at them, do they not care what they are watching? I believe that the economy is sucking so hard right now people will do anything to forget about it. The movies provide an escape from the reality we are all facing right now. I just wish that we didn't have to sacrifice quality for... well....cheep 3-D tricks.

On second thought...maybe my blog should be 3-D... hmm.
