Into the Wild
A film by Sean Penn.

"There is pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society whare none intrudes,
By the deep sea and the music in its roar;
I love not man the less, but Nature more."
–Lord Byron

Music for the Motion Picture Soundtrack by Eddie Vedder.

Helvetica Screening - David Carson

Helvetica A Documentary Film by Gary Hustwit
I hope there are more films like this on the way. David Carson sat behind us - that was cool! Really enjoyed the interview segments and looking forward to the DVD this fall with all the extra material and non-helvetica signage.

Spartan Glory in 300

This weekend I watched Frank Miller's 300. The visual effects are amazing and the Spartan warrior's—sizzling! Gerard Butler - wow, just wow... I can't believe the same actor played the Phantom. Shot on a bluescreen to duplicate the graphic novels imagery, the dialogue runs thin but the action sequences are gripping. Not to miss.

Memoirs of a Geisha—Book, Movie...Makeup?

December 2005, Sony Pictures Entertainment brings us the feature film of Arthur Golden's Memoirs of a Geisha. As an extension of the film, Fresh introduces the Memoirs of Geisha Collection based on the Asian traditions of beauty. The collection compliments their Fresh Rice and Sake collections. Some of the more tempting products offered are the shimmer powder with crushed pearl and the Eau de Parfum that "mingles a subtle blend of sheer jasmine flower, pure rose absolute, sparkling langsat fruit and white peach with gentle undertones of iris root, white sandalwood and musk." The color palette's reflect the film's visual elements, such as the exquisite kimono worn by Ziyi Zhang.

The Memoirs of Geisha Collection is being carried in Fresh stores, Sephora, select Bath & Body Works, and online at Fresh or Beauty.com. Prices range from $20-125 USD.

Weta Workshop brings Kong to life.

To digitally create the giant gorilla, Kong, and the environment of Skull Island in Peter Jackson's feature film (theatres 12.14.05), Weta Workshop utilizes a process called Motion Capture.

Take a sneak peak into Weta's special effects studio down in Wellington, New Zealand, and watch this Quicktime to learn more about the technology.

Andy Serkis (who portrayed the CGI Gollum in Jackson's Lord of the Rings Trilogy) provides a live performance, both on-set and for motion capture, to the title character, Kong.
