It&#039;s odd to say, but when I think about The Shawshank Redemption I think about love.

Ten years ago I went to see The Sixth Sense at a midnight showing in Mizner Park. I heard it was a solid, creepy horror film with a &#034;cool&#034; ending.

I&#039;ve held off publishing to coincide with the DVD release of Reign Over Me (out today).

Making a movie can be a real crapshoot. Some actors spend only two or three weeks on a film not knowing that those two or three weeks could &#8211; down the line &#8211; mean the end of their careers. They show up on set, get into character, start when the director yells, &#034;Action!&#034;, [...]]]></description>

Three different versions of the DVD will be released: a two-disc set, a four-disc Collector&#039;s Edition set and [...]]]></description>

The &#034;big&#034; surprise was already revealed a few days ago (on the 25th) but I&#039;ll get to that in a minute. I made my way to the Lost panel in Ballroom 20.
