100% Politically incorrect. 100% Medically accurate, so claims Tom Six. 100% complete garbage. Harsh? Not really.
I am not going to step onto a soap box and preach to you about how some films have gone too far. Please, go further. I am not going to rant about how certain things should never be portrayed on film. Please, push the envelope and break boundaries. I will not call for censorship and restraint in exercising free speech. Please, by all means, shock and disgust us till the cows come home. However, what I will do, is to persistently and relentlessly call things as I see them.
This movie is garbage. Not because its vulgar or offensive, but because its a failure. I have seen the entire trilogy now, and while in all honesty I can admit that I am no big fan of the franchise as a whole, my disdain reaches its monumental peak...

This next season of Chuck is packing on the guest stars. The NBC show has just added James Bond aka Timothy Dalton (The Tourist, Toy Story 3, Doctor Who) to the show’s guest stars list. Dalton will play “a mystery man with ties to Chuck’s mom.” Despite what conclusion you might leap to, executive producer Josh Schwartz dismisses the speculation that 007 may be Chuck’s (Zachary Levi) real father:
“Consider that theory squashed. We’ll only say that they’ve known each other for a long time.”

Showrunners Schwartz and Chris Fedak, both being big fans of his work, have been trying to get Dalton on the show. Schwartz talks about snagging Dalton for Chuck:
“In truth, we’ve wanted to have him on the show since season 1. When we came up with this part, we thought he’d be perfect. So we sent him [some episodes], he dug it,...

The Michigan Film Commission confirmed that New Castle Entertainment is the first company to receive money under their new 42% film incentive program, started in April of last year. New Castle's film, “Intent”, was shot and edited exclusively in Michigan. Clint Eastwood also made his way to Michigan to shoot “Gran Torino”, in addition to many of Hollywood's elite. Under the incentive program, a total of 36 films were shot in Michigan in 2008. “I think the program is outstanding. Anything that inspires creativity and artistic expression needs to be expanded,” said Eric Roberts, who starred in “Intent” and the “Steam Experiment” which filmed in Grand Rapids. The Michigan hospitality also plays a part in Hollywood's love of the state. “The people here are easy going and very helpful. Everyone went out of their way to make our film a success,” said “Intent's” Director, Tim Crockett.

The actor who starred in two films filmed in Grand Rapids, Mi says, "Anything that inspires creativity and artistic expression needs to be expanded."
I couldn't agree more!
So read this love letter from New Castle to the Michigan Film Commission.
