  4. Kirby Canvas Curse(DS): 9/10 An amazing, fun and challenging Kirby game for the DS. A must buy for DS owners(or at least rent). One of the best Kirby games and DS games out there. Super Mario 64 DS: 7.5/10 A classic on the 64 goes to the small screen, overall its a good game, but Mario 64 definently wasn't made for the D-pad, and it shows.

  6. Source With The Weinstein Co. now fully separated from the Miramax label, the two brothers are in the midst of gathering financing and seem to already have secured more than half of their ambitious $420 million goals to finance a slate of new projects to turn themselves into a distributor to rival reports The New York Times. Two Michael Moore films, one this year ("Fahrenheit 9/11.5") and one next ("Sicko"), were projected to bring the Weinsteins their largest profits each year. More key though is the agreement with Disney has given the Weinstein's sequel rights to 15 franchise or potentially franchise projects. Most high profile amongst these is a touted remake of John Carpenter classic "Halloween" released through Bob Weinstein's Dimension label, which has made genre films like the "Scream" and "Scary Movie" series. They've also taken thirteen TV projects from Disney, including future seasons of "Project Greenlight" and "Project Runway". ____________________________________________________________________________ don't see this one working. The Fog maybe as it was never one of Carpenter's best films mainly due to technical limitations that can now be overcome (Hell their main effect was a cheapy fog machie). But Halloween worked on many levels. The soundtrack punctuated every scene creating the perfect suspensful atmosphere. Our killer, even with the mask, had a personality (my favorite scene is where he sticks the boyfriend to the cabinet then stands back and ponders his achievement) that many generic serial killers in slasher flicks don't exhude. And Carpenter seemed to avoid lots of the later cliche's in the slasher genre he and Black Christmas helped create (there was another before BC that I'm forgetting). Here's how I envision the remake. Lots of shiny happy teens (which does fit the original - though lets hope they choose for appropriate look rather than going with the typical Playboy Playmate type look), bright vivid colors instead of the darker gritty look of Carpenter's original, liscensed soundtrack instead of a more appropriate and understated score, and likely a reworking of the plot (hey Leatherface was angy that he was deformed in the new revision - sigh - so maybe Michael will actually be a sexually repressed female in mans skin). If companies would just stick to flicks that would benefit from a modern facelift instead of a classic that works as well today as it did many years ago they'd be better off. The Fog can work as current CGI can really help with the fog effect and create more of an uneasy atmosphere. Halloween however works as is every bit as much today as it did upon release. The whole beauty of that movie was the fact that carpenter took almost nothing and made an awesome movie out of it and you can't reproduce that. Oh well, that's one remake I am sure could never touch the original, but they can try and fail all they want. Another Source
  7. This list is great so far, so many hotties, and were not even through half of them. (Y)
  8. 8/10 Brutal, to the point and I was entertained. What more can I ask? Oh, a brief nude scene with Maria Bello.
  9. If you want Cel sahding at its best, Zelda: The Wind Waker is the way to go, but my brother bought this game for XBox, and it does look fun to play(I loved spiderman 2), so no final rating for me either. But the graphics don't look that bad, but they don't look great either.

Not only was his score for 1977's Star Wars named the number one Greatest Film Score of all time by the list-happy folks at the American Film Institute, but the music he wrote for 1975's Jaws and 1982's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial also made the cut, coming in at number six and 14 respectively. A jury of over 500 film artists, composers, musicians, critics and historians were tapped to determine which of the most memorable scores would be chosen for The Big Picture—AFI's 100 Years of Film Scores, a new list commissioned by the famed institute in association with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association. Of the movie music rounding out the top 10, a number predictably belong to some of the most beloved films ever made. Coming in at number two was Max Steiner's majestic score for 1939's Gone with the Wind. That was followed in third place by Maurice Jarre's sweeping orchestrations for 1962's Lawrence of Arabia, Bernard Herrmann's heart-piercing composition for 1960's Psycho in fourth, and Nino Rota's epic score for 1972's The Godfather in fifth. The rest of the AFI's top ten were respectively: Jaws, John Williams; Laura (1944), David Raskin; The Magnificent Seven (1960), Elmer Bernstein; Chinatown (1974), Jerry Goldsmith; and High Noon (1952), Dimitri Tiomkin. A who's who of the cinema's best tunesmiths were represented on the list: giants like Hermann, Steiner, Bernstein, Goldsmith, Ennio Morricone, Henry Mancini, John Barry and Alfred Newman. The committee based its selections on criteria such as its creative impact—i.e. "scores that enrich the moviegoing experience by bringing the emotional elements of a film's story to life;" its historical significance, or scores that help advance the art form; and the scores' legacy in cinema history. The works chosen also had to be from American films. Steiner, Herrmann, Bernstein, and Goldsmith each had two films on the list. Aside from Gone with the Wind's second place finish, Steiner also placed 13th with the score for 1933's King Kong. Herrmann followed up Psycho's fourth place victory with his thrilling orchestrations for 1958's Vertigo, which came in at number 12. While outdoing himself with the music for The Magnificent Seven, Bernstein also etched himself in cinema lore with his stirring score for 1962's To Kill a Mockingbird, which was ranked 17th. And last but not least, Goldsmith shifted from Chinatown's murder-mystery vibe to sci-fi with his score for 1968's Planet of the Apes. Some of the other notable composers on the list were Erich Wolfgang Korngold, whose swashbuckling score for the The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) ranked eleventh and helped make Errol Flynn the object of every girl's desire; Franz Waxman, whose evocative music for noir classic Sunset Boulevard (1950) came in at 16 and revealed the darker side of Tinseltown; Alex North, who made his mark at number 19 with his score for A Streetcar Named Desire (1951); and Miklos Rozsa, who roused the masses with his work on Ben-Hur, which placed 21. Mancini's beloved theme from The Pink Panther (1964) landed in the 20 spot, Leonard Bernstein's music for On the Waterfront at 22; and Morricone's classic score from 1986's The Mission at 23. Wrapping up the list was Dave Grusin's score for On Golden Pond (1981) and Afred Newman's for How the West Was Won (1962) at 24 and 25 respectively.
