Happy Halloween
A Fearful Cartoon Halloween Movie, originally uploaded by Firenzesca [Game Over].
I love scary movies. Halloween is the perfect excuse to watch them, rent them, and dress up like someone in them. The problem is that I have seen almost all the good scary movies, or so I thought. I did a little research into the top 50 scary movies and found a number that I have never seen. I first checked on IMDb’s website because they should be one heck of a great reference point (I think). They have a rating system that includes the top 50 “Horror” titles by rank and the list included so many international and old films that I have yet to see. I then checked out the top 20 list from Amazon.com which started going into the traditional scary films I expect. While IMDb said the best horror movie was Psycho, Amazon decided it was A nightmare on Elm Steet.
The I decided to check my favorite users poll… Netflix. Their top Horror movie was Saw and the 3rd was Saw II. Guess there are alot of different favorites. So incorporating the movies from all three of these lists lets hear your favorite horror movie.

My first confession, even though I know how to pronounce his name I always catch myself double checking it… every time. Biden.
The topic of the DNC today was what you might expect it to be.. the new VP candidate. Let’s meet him.

Zombies, Zombies, Zombies
I gotta admit that I love the whole ZOMBIE genre. Whether it is the classic Night of the Living Dead or the more modern 28 Days the stories are classic. Who knows what the magical attraction is for the whole zombie culture but in terms of total books and movies they seem to be edging out Vampires and Werewolves in the horror popularity contest. But who doesn’t love a script riddled with characters whose only lines [Read more →]

A little rain won’t hurt
A little rain wasn’t going to stop these runners from taking on the Rocky Mountain Half Marathon this morning. I just wanted to show these die hard runners taking off in the rain on Little Raven Street in Riverfront Park and a few of the finishers.

It’s (NOT) a wrap… Eddie Murphy “Nowhereland” movie shoot (DOES NOT) end in Denver
AFTER WRITING THE POST BELOW I NOTICED THE CREW SETTING UP AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON. TURNS OUT THEY HAD SOME BAD FILM FROM THE SHOOT A COUPLE DAYS AGO SO THERE WILL BE A REPEAT SHOOT TONIGHT. APPARENTLY, SOME FILM HEADING BACK LA GET THE SUPER X-RAY TREATMENT (OOPS SOMEONE FORGOT A LABEL) AND THEY NEED TO REPLACE THOSE SHOTS. THEW WILL BE RESHOOTING STILLS ONLY FROM WHAT THE WORD ON THE STREET IS AND THEY DO THE REST IN THE STUDIO USING BLUE SCREEN. SO FOR ALL YOU CELEBRITY SEEKERS THEY SAY THERE WON’T BE ANY ACTORS HERE TONIGHT. BUT THAT BIG OLD CRANE IS GOING UP FOR LIGHTING AND THE REGULAR CREW WILL BE HERE. THAT IS ONE EXPENSIVE OOPS.
I missed the first night of shooting here in Riverfront but did catch last night.
What can I say. It was cool to see. The team hanging between shots, chatting with the extras, watching Eddie do a boogie in the plaza… it was cool. I think part of the cool factor was seeing the same ground you walk on every day turned into a stage, with great special effects, tree lights and stage lights, and water trucks spraying rain transforms into a much different city scene.

Filming to start soon
Filming might start as soon as tomorrow within the plaza at Riverfront Park. Everything is being kept under wraps as far as specifics on when Mr. Eddie Murphy will make his appearance but the set up looks to be close with lights and staging going in place today.
Here is the scoop from cbs4denver.com
(CBS4) DENVER The crew shooting Eddie Murphy’s new movie “Nowhereland” began filming Monday and the producer said filming in Denver is scheduled for 10 working days.
The movie tells a story of a busy father trying to connect with his daughter through her imaginary world, Nowhereland. The decision to set the film in Denver was based on aspects of the script.
“The writer had several choices,” said producer Lorenzo diBonaventura. “We had western motifs in our story and we decided Denver was the perfect city for us.”
Certain aspects of the characters also made the producers want to set the film in Denver.
The 10 days of filming will be mainly exteriors so that the movie will really have the feel of Denver and so far, the producers and crew have loved the experience.
“It’s a great town and what is nice for us is that has been under-utilized on film, so every place is a pretty fresh place to put a camera and as filmmakers, that’s exciting,” diBonaventura said.
“One of the great things is how welcoming everybody has been,” he said. “As filmmakers, that makes you feel really good because we are moving pretty fast and hard. If the people embrace you, it makes it easier for us, frankly, and makes you want to come back.”
Murphy stars as the father in the film. Newcomer Yara Shahidi stars as his daughter and Thomas Haden Church plays the other major role.
“Nowhereland” is currently slated to be released Sept. 26, 2008.
Pretty cool! The plaza will be famous again.

Looking good, Billy Ray! Feeling good, Louis!
The plaza in Riverfront Park was buzzing today with the planting of flowers, checking out the site, and getting ready for the actor who has been a favorite in such classics as Trading Places, Beverly Hills Cop, and more. You got it, Eddie Murphy.
The rumor now is that as soon as Friday (maybe Thursday) the crew and Eddie will be in the plaza shooting for the new film. Eddie reportedly tried to book some rentals here in Riverfront Park but never found a place big enough or priced right for such a short term rental. Does that mean he is hanging out in the Hyatt… who knows. Either way maybe you can get picked up as an extra and be famous. One member of the actors guild told me today they are supposed to grab the first five extras are supposed to be members and then the general public comes next, but I don’t even know if Denver has that many members to show up. Either way FUN!!
The Denver post has more details about the movie here.
