I'...oooh, you really did your research, Bels :) <br />I'm glad you gave us a proof that gorgeous Kevin would fit nicely into the role. <br /><br />Yes, I also thought GHOST WHISPERER when I read the ODD plot :) But just like you, it's Sommers after all, it can't possibly be bad.DEZMONDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127166104359407763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4651358851207677633.post-25375355323528331822011-02-14T18:06:04.642+01:002011-02-14T18:06:04.642+01:00Kevin Pennington does look like Wendell Vaughn.

A great character, with some cool looking costume and powers. He's been around for 20 years, or so the Wikipedia says. Although being a "cosmic" type superhero, he never was as popular as some other superheroes.<br />I suppose it would be too optimistic to see that change take place in movies also.<br /><br />Am I the only one who thinks Odd Thomas story sounds a lot like Ghost Whisperer? I've never watched that show, but I think it has the same premise.<br />Not my favorite premise, by the way.<br />But nevermind, since it's Stephen Sommers film, I'll watch it anyway. :)Marko Belsakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03017142190667614511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4651358851207677633.post-79604445344903225102011-02-11T14:39:15.025+01:002011-02-11T14:39:15.025+01:00he is scrummy, isn't he? :)

The orginal novella <i>Concrete Island</i> was written by the great J.G. Ballard back in the 60s or so. Ironically Ballard was also the author of the source material of Bale's early star role, <i>Empire of the Sun</i>. Now this is a movie that I look forward to seeing. Althougth the orginal story is somewhat slow-moving as I remember it.Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4651358851207677633.post-78886383726587547332011-02-10T15:11:40.586+01:002011-02-10T15:11:40.586+01:00Sounds like a lot of great movies are coming out! ...Sounds like a lot of great movies are coming out! :)Emily Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06478461123707071108noreply@blogger.com
