There will be blood.

From the minds that brought you “Out of Africa” and “Something about Mary” comes the story of Fred Belelik, A nearsighted dentist who falls in love with a dentally challenged optometrist. The budding love affair nearly fails when her ex-finance returns from the dead with a taste for Novocain.

No country for old men.

A surprisingly heart rending story from the Disny co. Captain Hook sues Peter Pan and the lost boys of neverland for age discrimination. A court room drama full of surprise witnesses, cloak and dagger intrigue, and an ending you will never forget. The crocodile confesses his love for Mr. Smee, Tinkerbell’s relationship hits a breaking point with Peter and Divorce is in the air. Staring Mary Martin, Dustin Hoffman, and Tom Cruse.

It’s a remake of Tom Hanks classic BIG. This time Tom wishes he were 21 again and the hilarity ensues, or would, as Tom goes on a drinking and womanizing adventure straight out of “Porkies”. With Bad makeup and special effects (as in Polar Express, Tom digitally plays every part he can, including the main love interest. Creepy.), This film is better left in the 80′s, were it would have stunk just as badly.

Leatherheads.

A bio fic flick about the presidential campaign between John McCain and Hillery Clinton. Produced and directed by Al (I’m not bitter) Gore (I hope the whole world dies and takes you idiots who didn’t elect me with it), it’s a biting look at politics and the campaign process.

Hello there my old chest of drawers.

I’ve decided to take up writing again, but as always I never have time to finish a thought, or have the time but no thought to finish.

In any event, here is an opening. Any opinions?

It was a moment of truth. The very history of human civilization hung on what would happen in the next 13 seconds. He slipped the 1971 Volkswagen Superbeetle out of fourth gear and into overdrive. If he was correct, the force of the spinning flywheel would engage the particle accelerator and jerk it into motion with enough force to keep the subatomic particles spinning long after the force dissipated. But laws were laws and if not for the electro magnet powered by the idling gas engine, the particles would eventually slow to a stop.

The thud and shudder of accelerator engaging shook the car. There was a not quite faint electric hum from under the front hood where the trunk should have been. He smiled as he watched the gas engine’s RPM gage fall to an idle as the speedometer stayed steady at 55 miles an hour. He drove for an hour on the open expressway just to make sure.

On the was home his thought ran thusly: There is so much of the universe and so little is applied to it. Take the car. Everyone was looking for a cheap alternative to gas, and there was a lot of nuclear technology that was, since it was not making bombs, just sitting around. He was very surprised that he was the first to think of it. It was so simple. True he had cobbled the whole thing together out of second hand lead for shielding, a lot of old magnets, a few coffee cans and some wax. And if the thing fell apart at the seems he could end up in the center of a very small but certainly deadly nuclear explosion. The plain and simple fact was he couldn’t afford gas and he was damned if he was going to buy a new car.

“Mr. Pond, You are one clever son of a gun.” He smiled to himself as he turned into his driveway. He was totally unaware that he had been watched all day.

When Angels and Serpents Dance, the new release from POD, hits stores on April 8th, I’ll be in line with my saved pennies to pick it up. That is if I can save enough pop cans between now and then. POD is one of my favorite “Christian Rock” bands. I don’t know if that is what you are supposed to call them, but I know what I like, and they are one of the few bands where I can listen to anything out of their entire discography without bias. I don’t think that the label “Christian Rock” is completely appropriate for the musical boundaries that POD hurdles, but it will have to do.

I downloaded the title track from their website and judging by the download, their new venture will not disappoint. It is most definitely POD, keeping true to what works and what their fans (or at least this fan) like.
