2007 FLORIDA FILM FESTIVAL DOCUMENTARY SIDEBAR FEATURE! “When Pigs Fly” is a family narrative that is slightly twisted, with a dark humor about it all—not ironic, not sardonic, but not entirely celebratory either…

I DIDN’T PLAY SNAKE, I CREATED HIM!
“People come up to me and say, ”You played Snake Plissken.” I didn’t play Snake Plissken, I created him!” Kurt Russell is one of those actors who is at that level of Bruce Campbell.

“SPIDER-MAN 3″ FINAL TRAILER
What this trailer has that the others didn’t is much more Venom. Finally, Topher Grace in alien-suit goo! What this trailer really lacks, however, is Sandman. What the Hell type of movie are we in for, when even the trailers can’t focus on one villain?
