Ewan McGregor—despite having stared in three of the most horrendous sequel/ prequels of all time (The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith)—is taking a stand against “poor sequels,” stating that there are too many bad or unnecessary follow-ups to great films.
Well, yeah.
This week in theaters, recent Academy Award winning Director Danny Boyle is back with another ground-breaking, rock-tumbling film 127 Hours led by the charismatic and easy to watch (other than when he’s bleeding all over himself) James Franco. The film tells the real life story of Aron Ralston, a man who was trapped in a cave for (you guessed it) 127 hours. Though the film has its moments of being a thrill ride it’s also an amazing character study of what exactly drives Man to do they things they do.

When the 2012 Summer Olympics roll around they’re going to have a tough act to follow. China really brought their A-game when they hosted the event with an opening ceremony that was calculated and breathtaking. Therefore London is bringing out the big guns. The Olympic committee has turned to native Brit and Oscar winning director Danny Boyle to help bring their show to life.
The first thing that went through my head while watching the 2010 Beijing Olympics opening ceremony was what the faces of the London 2012 organizers looked like. I imagined them putting their heads in their hands, crying. Maybe they thought about giving the 2012 Olympics to Chicago and letting them look stupid. Well, they didn’t. So the obvious next thing that they did after crying and getting a colonoscopy was to ask themselves, “How the Hell are we going to top that?” Their answer: Danny Boyle.
