Apparently it's going straight to DVD, it didn't make the cut to be released in movie theaters... you can find it on Netflix. It's at the top of my queue!

100% a bad movie, especially when they know it and said - let's just make a bad movie. I laughed. I guess there's a market for bad movies because I was humored a bit, largely at myself for wasting my time watching it! The shark jumping 32,000 feet in the air to snag a tasty airplane was probably my favorite bit. Also, the purely retarded romance of the asian guy and the female actress.

An article about Asylum's bad films --

http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/movies/chi-0703_asylumjul03,0,3884231.story

e.g.

"The Terminators" (2009)

Reminiscent of: "The Terminator"

Similarities: A military defense computer network turns on humankind and nukes Earth (but primarily Los Angeles); a ragtag band of survivors pulls together and seeks a way to repel the beefy human-looking cyborg assassins trying to kill them; the opening credits (and the cover of the DVD case) display nearly identical title fonts; the titles themselves sound oddly familiar.

Differences: "Terminator" movies had T-1000s, "The Terminators" have TR4s; Terminator stole his clothing, Terminators wear matching tank tops and cargo pants; in "Terminators," no one refers to a Terminator as a "Terminator," only as a "T.R."; Terminator was unstoppable, Terminators have an "off" switch; the latest installment of the "Terminator" series starred Christian Bale, "Terminators" co-stars Jeremy London; no "Terminator" filmmaker on their DVD commentary speaks ill of their film; "Terminators" director Xavier Puslowski refers to his as garbage.

Harry potter and company are out this week.
If I find the dough I might see it at the theater, but I really should read the 6th book first.

Thanks again Paul and Eric for putting us up the other weekend. Great to have good friends like you.

We're like family!

Hehe, that's right. But still, I know several families that are not friends. Same for couple really :-) True friendship is the basis for great things, and that's what I like about our family - it seems everyone has learned to be good friends, even the old arch rivals "Al and Judy :-) and maybe we have all learned a bit from that.

your pal, and maybe eternal soul mate -- Jon
