     On a sad note the death of director Tony Scott June 21, 1944 - August 19, 2012. His movies just too name a few were "Top Gun", "The Hunger", "True Romance", "Days of Thunder", "Enemy of the State", "Man on Fire", "The Taking of Pelham One,Two, Three", and his last film "Unstoppable". The production company he shared with his brother director Ridley Scott, "Scott Free" produced popular television series like "Numbers" and "The Good Wife". He had a very clear vision of what he wanted to create on film and it usually was better than he even imagined. He was definitely a great creative talent and he will be sorely missed.

In this age of digital effects and computer generated animation, it is surprising to see a new movie that uses stop motion animation. What's even more surprising is that the movie effectively uses stop motion animation and looks amazing. The new movie "ParaNorman" which opens Friday uses labor intensive stop motion photography and looks as good or better then movies that relay on glitzy computer generated animation.  Enjoy the trailer.

    "Avengers Assemble" the animated series slated to replace "Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes" is now being referred to as a sequel to the departing show instead of an out and out reboot. That remains to be seen. "Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes" is a pitch perfect series based on the comic book. This approach to pandering to the movie audience while alienating the true fans of the comics and the characters is counterproductive,and let's be clear, that's why "Avengers Assemble" was initially touted as a reboot. There is a lot of concern about the fates of characters like "Ant-Man", "The Wasp", and "The Black Panther" who currently have no presence in "The Avengers" movie, but are strongly represented in "Avengers: Earth's Mighiest Heroes". Only time will tell if the new show can even hold a candle to the what clearly is an awesome animated series.
