Why is it that despite as much as the makers want to shove him down my throat, it is still the image of Pierce Brosnan that comes to my mind, the moment you think of Bond. Maybe it is just the mind that still refuses to erase the memory that has been clogged up in some part of my puny little skull due to years of seeing the Irishman. But the fact remains, that Daniel Craig is ‘Bond... James Bond’ (Now was I dying to get that out of my system, or what?)

Nicole Kidman’s forthcoming flick ‘The Golden Compass’ has made the Christian groups furious out of the fear that the movie would promote atheism in children. The Christian critics of the movie concede that the film itself is harmless but since it is based on a book that celebrates the virtues of atheism, it would inspire the children to read the book and other such books. And that would have a bad influence on them.

The People magazine renetly reported that American actress Jessica Simpson’s movie ‘Blonde Ambition’ is going to be released in the theatres at Texas on 21st December, 2007. Initially it was pressumed that only the DVD version of the movie will be launched starightaway in January next year. The production company in charge of the release of this so-called porn movie said,

It is being released in this crowded marketplace in eight theaters in Texas The reason we chose Texas is the two stars are from Texas: Jessica Simpson and Luke Wilson. As an independent studio, we, as a rule, don’t have major wide releases. It’s a very common release practice for independent studios.

The production house is immensely excited about the outcome of this movie and has promised not to disappoint Jessica fans across the world. ‘Blonde Amition’ is jokingly considered as a cinematic masterpiece in the actress’s film career. To add to the ridicule, subsequent to this report, people are mockingly speculating about Jessica’s Oscar nomination next year.
The same production company has completed another film with the American pop/country singer/actor, Jessica, which is named ‘Major Movie Star’ and is slated for release in 2008.
There is a general discontent among the people of Texas, as they are reluctant to sacrifice an additional screening of the movie ‘Alvin and the Chipmunks’ for this Jessica film. They unanimously opine that this film should be screened only for the perverted minds in pornographic theatres.

I always wondered if there’s a movie that can win it all i.e. win all the awards. I guess I was kind of right. Here’s one such movie. ‘There will be Blood’ seems to have won the heart and the minds of the audience. The drama was nominated for multiple awards at the 2007 Movie Critics Awards.

Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, this is an unique blend of old Western and drama. The movie advertises that there will be greed and vengeance. Finally, there will be blood. The story is based on a Texas family. The aspects of greed, violence, demand for oil, as well as religion have been captured pretty well in this movie.
