Wars At Home

Those responsible for next month's Flight 93 have posted a short behind the scenes look at the film. The featurette, called "Look Inside", includes interviews with Paul Greengrass and a few of the victims' family members, all of them expressing their thoughts about the film. WOW...The film is set to premiere at this year's Tribeca Film Festival in New York City, taking place from April 25 through May 7. For more on the festival click here...

James K. Wilcox of Sound and Vision Magazine has written a really great article called The Format War Goes Nuclear for its April '06 issue. The "Special Report" could not have come at a better time---Since both the HD and Blu-Ray DVD hardware are set to hit store shelves in the next few months. Click here to get all the facts you need, so that you can sift through all off the confusion, and make an informed choice when the time comes for you to decide. As for me, I'll have more to say about my preferred choice...soon...

Speaking of future battles, Ted Johnson of Variety writes about what's at stake for both 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. as they prepare to unleash dueling superhero summer blockbusters on the masses. Well, maybe "battle" was too strong a word to use, since X3 opens nearly a full month before Superman Returns does. There's room for both certainly, but since the studio suits always fret about the bottom line, they may see it as a battle. I suppose it will be interesting to see which Men In Tights flick had longer financial legs at the box office when the summer of '06 ends
