Movie Scenes Made With LEGO

When imagination exists then with a few Lego’s some of the top moments in cinema can be recreated. This scene is from Casablanca and it is one of the best remakes that I have ever seen. Nevertheless there are many other that are also interesting.

The Smallest Drive In Cinema

The DRV-IN is located somewhere in Manhattan and it must be fact the smallest drive in cinema in the world. Everyday 6 lucky people enjoy 2 shows of classic movies starting from the 60’s, inside a specially converted 1965 Ford Falcon.
I think this must be a unique experience for all those that feel nostalgic about the innocent era of cinema. Its price is quite attractive, with just $75 you can rent the car and see the movie with 5 other friends of yours.

White House’s Home Cinema

This is one of the photos that Architectural Digest magazine published and it shows the renovated Home Theater in the White House. As you can see the rear sitting area is the classic cinema type where as the 4 front ones are armchairs with leg rests.
Why bother with leg rests George? Why not go for a Lay-Z-Boy?
Monster in Tokyo

In a few days the new Sony Pictures movie “Water horse - Legend of the Deep” will show in cinemas. The hero is said to have as his friend the Loch Ness monster. So the Japanese thought that such a movie needs an equal promotion.
A huge monster hologram made its appearance in Tokyo. I am not sure how long this promotion will continue as it looks pretty expensive.

Problems with Batman after Ledger’s death?

Odd things come to light after the sudden death of Heath Ledger. He was starring in the new Batman film “The Dark Knight”. As Jack Nicholson implies he had warn Ledger for the difficulties of the Joker role.
Ledger had stated that he is exhausted and sleepless while the shooting took place. He reached the point where he was taking pills to sleep, the overdose of which probably cost him his life. “I told him” Nicholson said when he was asked about Ledger’s death.
Beyond this, there is a problem with the movie promotion. The first movie poster that was ready to circulate, showed Joker (Ledger) smiling in front of a mirror and underneath a phrase “Why So Serious?”, and this is something that they fear that might be misinterpreted.
I am not sure if his death will bring more people to the cinemas. I am under the impression that (in connection with the writer’s strike) if what Nicholson is saying is true then Hollywood might have started to loose its glamour.
Saving Private Ryan - AGAIN

I don’t thing there is anyone out there that does not remember the scene at Omaha beach from the WWII movie “Saving Private Ryan”. It is one of the most well remembered scene of modern cinema and it was as close to the real thing when in 1944 the allied forces stepped in Europe to fight Hitler’s Nazi’s.
Now a group of friends decided to recreate this scene with the aid of CGI.
The end product? Just have a look:
