When production chiefs from selected studios trooped to Icon Prods. headquarters after an invite to read the film Mel Gibson planned for summer 2006, they were surprised at the very first page of the script.
"The dialogue you are about to read will not be spoken in English."
Gibson, who last made the most successful Aramaic-language film ever, is at it again. "Apocalypto" hardly fits the traditional definition of a summer film. Set 500 years ago, pic will be filmed in an obscure Mayan dialect, presumably with the same kind of subtitles Gibson reluctantly added to "The Passion of the Christ." It will star a neophyte cast indigenous to the region of Mexico where Gibson will shoot in October.

From the man who brought us ’Blue Velvet’ and ’Twin Peaks’ comes The Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace. David Usborne meditates on the maverick director’s strangest project yet
If you have ever been touched by the work of David Lynch - perhaps it was the weirdness of his early 1990s television series Twin Peaks, or the twisted but intoxicating violence of his film Blue Velvet - then you will be ready to give him a little leeway when you hear about his next undertaking.
Remember, Lynch is just different, not a nutcase. Never mind that through much of the 1970s he went to the same Bob’s Big Boy restaurant in Los Angeles every day at 2.30pm for a chocolate milkshake. And who cares if he walked away when George Lucas asked him to direct Return of the Jedi and made his own sci-fi epic instead, Dune, which was a commercial calamity?
Lynch, ever in a shirt and a bootlace tie, and with an American Spirit cigarette in his lips, has never pretended to fit into the Hollywood system, and that is why he has so many fans. The easy news to digest is that Lynch does have a new film project on the go. It will be called INLAND EMPIRE (the capitalisation is deliberate) and will feature many of the actors he has used before, including Laura Dern and Harry Dean Stanton. Beyond that, we don’t know much about the film’s content. It will, we assume, be a mystery of some kind.

Could it be that they’re not all charlatans -- the Uri Gellers, the Amazing Kreskins, the "spoonbenders," paranormalists and mentalists?
A 2004 movie still hot on the cult-house circuit and video-store shelves, "What the Bleep Do We Know!?" which canvasses all manner of New Age spiritualists, makes some startling claims about the unused potential of human gray matter.
"I believe it’s endless," says "Bleep" co-director Betsy Chasse. "Anything we can dream up, we can do." How endless? Endless enough that New Jersey should take up Kreskin’s offer to be the state’s "watchdog," a role in which he’ll suss out lying politicians through powers of cerebration?
Endless enough that we should think twice when we laugh at Mr. Geller’s claims of moving compass needles, erasing computer disks and bending metal through thought?

Washington--It couldn’t get better than this. After enthralling audiences with their 2002 offering, Spielberg and Cruise are joining forces again to bring H.G. Wells’ classic alien-invasion epic, The War of the Worlds, to the big screen. "They are working on the screenplay for it and they’re trying to move it along quickly," E-Online quoted Spielberg’s publicist, Marvin Levy as saying.
The project, a coproduction of Paramount Pictures, Cruise/Wagner Productions and DreamWorks, is yet another UFO tale by Spieberg. According to the report, War of World’s is a darker sci-fi film like A.I. Artificial Intelligence and Minority Report and 2002’s Emmy-winning Sci Fi Channel miniseries, Taken, produced by Spielberg.

Do you hear what I hear?
The last gasps.
The raspy death rattle.
The silent slipping into darkness.
The whack, whack, whack of the pounding of the nails in the coffin.
The Remote Viewing (RV) community should have been throwing confetti-in-the-air parties and wallowing in a happy-happy joy-joy attitude of excitement as ‘Suspect Zero’ (SZ), the first movie to introduce the concept of RV on the silver screen, opened around the world. Many were hoping it would create interest in the field accompanied by an increase in students and book sales.
Instead, the movie will probably have an opposite effect. And SZ marks the death of RV from a STARGAGE vet point of view; even according to those who beg anonymity. SZ isn’t exactly first date material. Unless you’re a hard core remote viewing junkie. Or practitioner. Or groupie. Or wanna-be.
SZ isn’t a movie for the faint hearted either, as it gives a pretty gritty snapshot of the heavy price paid by those who were recruited into government sponsored psychic spying program/s, whether military or as suggested by the movie and others, domestic

Technonerds go to movies strictly for entertainment, and of course, the most entertaining part comes after the movie when they can dissect, criticize, and argue the merits of every detail. However, when supposedly serious scenes totally disregard the laws of physics in blatantly obvious ways it's enough to make us retch. The motion picture industry has failed to police itself against the evils of bad physics. This page is provided as a public service in hopes of improving this deplorable matter.
In the name of physics decency, to protect the minds of children everywhere, so that they may grow up in a world where they know the difference between speed and velocity, we have taken the responsibility to rate movies for their portrayal of excessively bad physics. The system is as follows:
