Sometimes raising kids can be a pain. Other times it can be simply worrysome. For example, what if you are out pushing your baby in a stroller and a bad guy shows up with a machine gun and shoots at your baby? Normally this situation would end in a tragedy. Now, however, thanks to BulletProofBaby.net, you can take this off your list of things to worry about. They’ve got you covered, well your baby at least.

Fans of the cult hit TV show Arrested Development will be surprised and excited to hear that a deal is in the works for a feature length film of the same name. Word on the streets is that the movie will be budgeted at $15 million through Fox Searchlight Pictures. That’s more than enough to pull off a good comedy. Oh, and Ron Howard and original AD writer Mitch Hurwitz are on board. That’s gotta be good news.

One of the show’s original actors is apparently “iffy” about the project, but the others are optimistic that it will happen with or without the one person. One person missing out of the bunch isn’t that bad. Obviously it’d be nice if everybody would show up and reprise their roles from the extremely under appreciated sarcastically dry TV show.

The only question lies with the writers of the film. Will they try to wrap up loose ends left untied from the show or will they stick to a somewhat new and more movie-esq plotline? First and foremost, rumors surrounding this series haven’t always panned out the way fans have expected or wanted. This whole thing could go belly up. Let’s just wait and see.

Twilight is based on the best selling “Twilight” book series by Stephanie Meyer. It’s about an immortal vampire (they’re all immortal) who falls for a human girl. It makes for an interesting “Romeo & Juliet” type situation. The books have been best sellers for years and the movie, although independently made, is expected to be a huge box office success. I’ve seen it everywhere, on TV, in magazines, in internet ads, and in constant news articles. Needless to say it’s supposed to be pretty good based on the hype.

It comes out tonight at midnight in theaters everywhere. People are expected to be waiting in lines for hours for the long awaited midnight (or is it twilight) showing. Step aside Buffy, Twilight is set to be a pop cult phenomenon.

The new James Bond movie is out. Quantum of Solace is getting mixed reviews, some shaken, some stirred. Take it from a Bond fan, the movie is worth seeing. Was it amazingly superb like it’s predecessor? In a word, no, but it worked as a second Bond movie for Daniel Craig.

A few things though. It seems to me that the producers are shying away from the fancy spy gadgets and shifting more towards blunt force. While this movie was a good movie, there really wasn’t anything “signature James Bond” about it. Little to no Bond one liners, no gadgets really at all, and nothing really special about his car except that it seemed to be able to maneuver through the worst traffic during high speed chases, and that’s after a hard crash or two.

While making Bond more down to earth they’ve essentially turned him into a generic spy. The movie could have very well been titled “The Bourne Quantum”. It was good by spy movie standards but not by Bond standards. Sure it’s more realistic but is that really what Bond fans want? As usual I’ve steered away from major plot spoilers in my review, but if you want to go into the movie with a completely open mind then I suggest you go watch it before reading the rest of this review.

The Dark Knight was released today. In a word it was amazing. In a second word, it was dark. We all had an idea of what to expect after seeing Batman Begins but nothing could have quite prepared us for just how devious this movie was going to be. The Joker was simply stunning. For many this movie will be bittersweet. Heath Ledger died tragically in January and for many fans this movie will be his legacy. We think so too.

The movie doesn’t wait long before showing the Joker to the audience, but we learn more and more about him as the movie plays out. He’s dark, mysterious, creepy as all get-out and of course funny. He’s so creepy though that you’ll almost feel bad laughing when he’s “funny”. Sometimes you’ll catch yourself and wonder if his mind games are turning you into a sinister clown too.
