Ninja Assassin – new from the Wachowskis
Not sure how I missed this. The Wachowskis are working on a new movie called Ninja Assassin, and being a big fan of both martial arts and the Wachowskis movies (I've loved ALL their films apart from Speed Racer, which I have yet to see, and will probably love).
TrailerThe trailer is relatively recent and seems to show a rather stylish martial arts flick that is bound to showcase the Wachowskis penchant for over the top action and stylish, comic ...
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
I don't know if it's just because I have read books 5 and 6 the least, and not recently either, but I thought that Half Blood Prince was the best Harry Potter film so far. Admittedly my judgement may be clouded by the fact that I was at an exclusive screening at the London Imax, and the first 15 minutes of the film (including the awesome London fly through) were in eye popping 3D!

TimThumb Beta Test

Originally Jackson and Blomkamp - who were originally paired for the movie adaptation of the HALO video game series. HALO has been put on hold for the time being but it looks like District 9 will tide me over nicely. The film is set for an August 14, 2009 release date.
A Brief History of TimThumb
When we were building Mimbo Pro - Darren came up with the idea of automating the image thumbnail resizing.
This was all part of making the theme site as easy as possible to maintain. Initially it was based loosely on phpThumb stripping out all the fluff and making it nice and streamlined.
Development was started by Tim ...
