Renee Zellweger's Case 39 Will Finally Be Released

Variety is reporting that Case 39, a horror film starring Renee Zellweger that has been sitting on the shelf for two years, is finally getting a domestic release. The film will be released stateside on October 1st. Paramount decided to release the film when it performed well in Mexico and Spain.



Note: I wonder why the system sucks aren't all up in arms over this like they were with the movie Orphan. It could give the wrong impression.

Animal Farm

Here is a made for TV version of George Orwell's Animal Farm that I just came across on Google Video. I realize it's off topic but it is still very well worth watching.

The Truth Behind the 'Orphan' Movie Uproar: The Real Horrors in Adoption

If you are in touch, in any way, with adoption issues, no doubt you have seen the headlines: "Adoption Community Protest Movie 'Orphan'"; "Horror movie 'Orphan' is panned by adoption groups"; "New Adoption Horror Movie Causing a Stir"; "'Orphan': A Movie That Reinforces Myths About Adoption"; "Adoption Groups Boycott 'Orphan' Horror Movie."

'Orphan' offends adoption agencies: anatomy of a film release controversy (VIDEO)



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPFQ8I04bvE

The tragic loss of their unborn child has devastated Kate and John, taking a toll on both their marriage and Kate's fragile psyche as she is plagued by nightmares and haunted by demons from her past. Struggling to regain some semblance of normalcy in their lives, the couple decides to adopt another child. At the local orphanage, both John and Kate find themselves strangely drawn to a young girl named Esther. Almost as soon as they welcome Esther into their home, however, an alarming series of events begins to unfold, leading Kate to believe that there's something wrong with Esther--this seemingly angelic little girl is not what she appears to be. Concerned for the safety of her family, Kate tries to get John and others to see past Esther's sweet facade. But her warnings go unheeded until it may be too late-for everyone.

'Orphan' horror flick ticks off adoption groups

'Orphan' horror flick ticks off adoption groups

Often divided over policy and practice, America’s adoption community has unified in dismay over “Orphan,” a horror movie opening next week that its critics say will fuel negative attitudes toward real-life orphans.

Note: It's just too bad that these anal-retentive's can't get it through their heads that IT'S JUST A MOVIE!

New Adoption Horror Movie Causing a Stir

First lets see what Carrie over at Carrie's Adoption Blog has to say about it...

New Adoption Horror Movie Causing a Stir

Here's a link to the trailer.

Looks like a good movie to me, then again I am a horror fanatic. Watch the self-righteous hypocrites go into a tizzy, trying to get it banned.

Nutty Rosie O’Donnell plays a therapist on TV. Is this a comedy or science fiction?

Nutty Rosie O’Donnell plays a therapist on TV. Is this a comedy or science fiction?

This is what can only be called a case of art imitating stupidity.

Hollywood wingnut Rosie O’Donnell is the executive producer, co-writer, and star of “America,” a LifeTime Original movie that follows the life of a troubled seventeen year old who has grown up in foster care.

Rosie's Movie Review - America

Ok, I had reason to give Rosie the benefit of the doubt. In one sense she is a truth seeker. Here's what I mean...

Rosie O' Donnell 9/11 Truth 3-29 ON THE VIEW PART 2 WTC7



Overall the movie America was lame and glorified the system sucks. A total waste of two hours of my life.

You are left wondering where the kid ends up. Does he go to college? Does he meet up with his little sliced up psycho girlfriend? It is implied that he is on the right path making him the exception and not the rule and making the shrink the hero who got through.

Rosie was the shrink who finally gets the kid to open up. I found it strange that she wasn't feeding him anti-depressants after a suicide attempt like they would in a real group home.

Rosie O'Donnell hopes to film again in Detroit

Rosie O'Donnell hopes to film again in Detroit

Rosie O'Donnell says she hopes to film again in Detroit on the heels of her new Lifetime movie, "America," which was shot last year in the Motor City.

The nation's foster care system provides the backdrop for the movie, which premieres Feb. 28. O'Donnell says she's been so moved by Detroit's plight that she bought a Buick Enclave, made by Detroit-based General Motors Corp.

Frightful delights: Coraline director defends children's right to be scared.

Frightful delights: Coraline director defends children's right to be scared.

Filmmaker Henry Selick is a gentle man. But he is no wimp.

In fact, ``wimp'' is the dismissive word he uses for people who think that his new animated triumph, Coraline, is too scary for kids or that Walt Disney did a terrible thing by killing Bambi's mother.

Note: OT but interesting anyway. I agree, we need to toughen these kids up.

Guess what
