MOVIE: THE GREAT GATSBY

Yet another 20th Century great American novel is being adapted to the big screen this month.  F. Scott Fitzgerald's tale of the roaring twenties.  Directed by Baz Luhrmann of Strictly Ballroom, William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge! fame.  So, expect it to look cool but have a out of character sound track.

Trailer:

MOVIE: ON THE ROAD

The theatrical adaptation of Jack Kerouac's great American novel. Directed by Walter Salles of The Motorcycle Diaries fame. Hopefully it'll live up to the novel. It has Kristen Stewart in it, but she was decent in the The Runaways, so I won't hold Twilight against her. Hell, maybe even the Beat and Beatnik culture will become hot again because of her involvement.  Soon enough striped shirts, turtlenecks, and bongos will be in the front window of your local Hot Topic.

"MUNSTERS" REBOOT "MOCKINGBIRD LANE" TONIGHT ON NBC

Tonight NBC will air a modern reboot of the Munsters, the best monster's show from the 1960's. The Adams Family sucks, but I'll rant about that in a future post. I used to watch the original, I watched the reboot in the 80's/90's (The Munsters Today), and I'll watch this "special" (option of a series order should it do well in the ratings). More info. here
