Where the Wild Things Are
01/11/2009. A boy with emotional problems finds himself on an island with large fluffy animal people. Spike Jonze co-writes and directs this adaptation of the popular 1963 children's book.

Joe 90
01/11/2009. Uncle Geoff takes a look back at the curious case of Joe 90. These days if you took a school kid and brainwashed them with advanced equipment into becoming an assassin or super-spy, the least you could expect is a visit from social services... but what do we get? The Dollhouse and Chuck borrowing the concept!

Exhibit

Prince of Persia the movie
03/11/2009. Trailer for the new Prince of Persia movie. It's based on the old game and with the usual Disney flourish, puts us here at the Nest in mind of a Sinbad-style Pirates of the Caribbean. The original good one, rather than the cashing-in milk-my-teats sequels.
