Monday Media Mix Tape: Tuesday Edition

I started watching the first season of True Blood this weekend and if the first two episodes of the show are any indication Alan Ball (Creator of Six Feat Under) and H.B.O. have another slam dunk show on their hands.  Interesting and mysterious story lines with sex, drugs, and humor mixed in to make it worthwhile.  My only complaint is the lead actress, Ana Paquin, is ugly and a bit annoying. But I digress as there is enough other stuff going on that I can get past it.  Not to mention H.B.O really lucked out with their timing since the Twilight series has really made Vampires all the rage with the kids these days.

Major Movie studios love to take anything that we remember as a child and try to rehash it and capitalize on it, regardless if it tarnishes the original for the rest of mankind.  This time it is one of the earliest movies I have a recollection of, The Karate Kid.  Here's an article from yahoo talking about the upcoming abomonation.

I went and saw the movie "Up" this weekend and was thoroughly impressed.  I will have a full review later this week, but while I thought it was a great movie for adults, I am wondering how this movie along with last years "Wall-E" are managing to keep children entertained with complex story lines and minimal dialog.

About two weeks ago TCM did an all day marathon of Alfred Hitchock movies and Mrs. Milkshake and I watched about 5 or 6 of his movies over the next week or so through the magic of DVR.  I had never seen "Notorious" or "The Man Who Knew to Much", but I was  very impressed and have been re-invergorated for the works of Alfred Hitchock.  Flickering Myth Movie Blog decided to rank their top 5 Hitchock films and mine would be very close.
5. The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956)
4. Vertigo
3. North By Northwest
2. Rear Window
1. Psycho

As part of the Monday Media Mix Tape (Even on a Tuesday) I will highlight a trailer for an upcoming movie that I am excited or interested in.  This week will be the trailer for the upcoming Quentin Tarintino movie, "Inglourious Basterds."  Brad Pitt has been making solid career choices for a while and even if you like to bash Tarintino for his unoriginality, I have a hard time believing anyone who says his movies aren't at least entertaining.  Anyways check it out, can't wait till August 21st.

A remake of the Karate Kid ? I think you hit it right on the nose, pal ! An "abomination" is the best word I can think of to describe this "idea".

With no idea what to expect from Tarentino, this movie looks awesome.
I am a little bit scared, but it may be the first movie I will go to see at the theatre in a few years. I can't wait.
