To learn more about another movie that may be worth seeing click over to SCREENPLAY EUROPE. Micheal Leahy talks about "Love is All, Holland's best film last year" which he says "attracted 1,000,000 viewers. But will it join the long list of local heroes that never get a shot at international audiences?" How should I know? Click the link.


Let's keep going with movies that may be worth seeing. Appaloosa, starring Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen gets a review over at Joe Ewens' JOYOUS FILM REVIEW.

Let's move on to some movie news.

Ravi points on PODWORKS that the next Harry Potter film has hit a snag. There's no saying what that snag is, but it's a snag just the same.

Sutocu says "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is a live movie, based on the original He-Man franchise from the eighties. It is planned to come out in 2009, produced by Joel Silver and written by Justin Marks." That about sums it up. Head over to HE-MAN FANS for more.
