If you don’t know me, you might not know how into theme parks I am. Right now I don’t live near any of the big headline making ones (I’m going to have to fly into La to visit Harry Potter at Universal just like the rest of the world), but every chance I get to check out a theme park, especially a Disney-run one, is worth the time.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida (formaly Disney MGM Studios, at least the last time I got to go) is adding a bunch of Star Wars themed stuff to its park that got announced this week.
Here’s the press release fun-town corporate speak (in italics):
Starting April 4:
Star Wars: A Galaxy Far, Far Away: This new live stage show celebrates moments from the Star Wars saga with live vignettes featuring Star Wars characters, such as Kylo Ren,...

Screen Media Films has closed a deal for North American distribution rights to Ride, the film Helen Hunt wrote, directed and produced, and stars in alongside Brenton Thwaites, Luke Wilson, and David Zayas. Pic is Hunt’s follow-up to her helming debut Then She Found Me. In this comedy, she plays an editor from The New Yorker who follows her son (Thwaites) to La after he drops out of college to surf and find himself, but she ends up being the one thrust into a sea change of self-discovery. She befriends a limo driver (Zayas) and soon rediscovers her sexuality with a younger surf instructor (Wilson) and begins to heal her fractured relationship with her son and herself. Sandbar Pictures, Abandon Features, Big Block Ventures and @TheMovies Entertainment financed and UltraMedia is handling foreign sales.

Uh-oh, Chewie. The Millennium Falcon has sprung a few leaks.
Someone with access to the set of Star Wars: Episode VII has been sending out snapshots of concept art and props, breaking the Force-field of secrecy on that movie — if they turn out to be true. Lucasfilm and parent company Disney did not respond to requests about their veracity.
Here’s a roundup of what’s causing a stir among the spoiler-seekers:
New Stormtrooper Helmets: In this video promoting the Force For Change charity initiative, director J.J. Abrams showed off what an X-Wing fighter looks like 30-some years after the...

Glen salutes what, in his view, were the finest movie scores of 2011. Is your favourite on here?
2011 was a great year for film, and the scores that accompanied them have been of a similarly high standard, featuring efforts from some of the best musicians in the business, as well as some great pieces of work from first time composers.
While compiling my list of favourites, I’ve limited entrants to one per composer, and I’ve yet to see The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, so there may be one or two high profile omissions, but I feel that what’s included below represents some of the finest scores of the year...
Attack The Block: Basement Jaxx & Steven Price
Joe Cornish’s debut was something that I had anticipated since first hearing about it, and while it didn’t disappoint, it didn’t blow me away either. Nevertheless, it...

Pour yourself a tall glass of cactus juice, because Rango swerves and crashes onto Blu-ray today.
We were lucky enough to grab ahold of a copy a few days ago (we've been hoarding it all to ourselves, like the evil mayor of Dirt) and all it's done is renew our love for Gore Verbinski's frantic, eye-popping and strangely poigniant film.
As we put it back in March, "Rango may very well be the weirdest big-budget animated movie marketed towards children in the history of cinema. Gore Verbinski's desert critter/wild west tale is gorgeous to look at. It's loaded with self-referential zingers, baffling non-sequitirs and is bursting with frenetic, exuberant joy. It loosens the shackles of a post-Pixar/post-Blue Sky animation landscape, where family entertainment must either be an emotional roller coaster or mindless slapstick."
The fact that it was only a modest box office success, for us,...

In this week’s Music In The Movies, Glen checks out the latest scores available from such films as Battle: Los Angeles, Never Let Me Go and Rango...
Recently, there have been some fantastic scores from established composers, as well as some great pieces of music from new names, and this year's already seen some spectacular movie soundtracks. Here are some of the scores worthy of your attention this month...
Rachel Portman – Never Let Me Go
Rachel Portman is a composer who I plan to write an article about before the end of the year, and one whose work I’m a fan of. Her work here really is quite excellent – some have complained that it’s a little overly sentimental, but I think, in many ways, it’s lighter than what the material calls for, but is still a hugely effective piece of work.
Portman spent four months working on the score,...

It’s a relatively quiet week for new releases. There’s Regina Spektor’s follow-up to her breakout, a new album from the Mars Volta and the latest from Pete Yorn. But today also sees the release of A Casual Affair: The Best of Tonic.
This begs the question: Huh?
For anybody who didn’t come of age in the Clinton years, Tonic had a big radio hit in 1996 with a tune called “If You Could Only See.” After that, they basically fell off the map (save for a few appearances on various soundtracks to the “American Pie” movies). The set contains that single plus a bunch of other songs that never quite got there. Even if you allow that “You Wanted More” and “Open Up Your Eyes” were “hits,” that’s still only three tunes on a 15-track album. Three songs is an Ep, not a $15 album.
But this...

A video popped up on YouTube about a week ago revealing the first tidbits of a collaborative effort between the “Robot Chicken” writing team and “Spore” creator Maxis. Now the word is officially out: when “Spore’s” first gameplay-enhancing expansion pack, “Galactic Adventures,” hits shelves on June 23, it will come packing – among other things, of course – 10 adventures which were conceived and written by the “Robot Chicken” team.
Let’s back up for a minute and talk about “Galactic Adventures.” In case you didn’t know, the expansion pack will add a considerable amount of depth to the game’s virtually endless Space phase. The pack will introduce a new concept to “Spore”: adventures. Using an entirely new and surprisingly robust set of editing tools, players will be able to build Space phase missions set on the surfaces of the galaxy’s many planets.

I have heard some derision of the Quantum Of Solace soundtrack’s theme tune, by Jack White and Alicia Keys. I’ve even heard it said that Duran Duran’s theme from A View To A Kill is better. Well. Anyone who can’t see that Alicia Keys and Jack White make Duran Du-chuffin’-ran look like foppish French Dukes with synthesizers, valium habits and too much time on their hands is simply beyond reason.
Reviving Bond was a wise move, and Daniel Craig was a great choice for the tough guy Bond. In case you don’t know, the hierarchy goes like this: Connery was the best Bond, by virtue of being the 1960s Bond, Roger Moore did his English gent thing pretty well, George Lazenby was the worst Bond but in the best film, Pierce Brosnan was fairly good but in some terrible films (Christmas Jones, anyone?), and...
