This week at The Broadway...
So you've finally stopped laughing since the all-night bad movie experience? We've got a 1920s boarding school with the classic 'haunted house' formula, and Johnny Depp returning once again into the persona of a Gonzo journalist, both of which you should really watch this week at the Broadway.
Forget 3DTV, 'True 3D' Uses Lasers To Display Floating 3D Images

Hollywood to BT: "Block The Pirate Bay."
A coalition of Movie, Music and and publishing companies have formally requested BT block internet access to The Pirate Bay voluntarily, before they send the boys around.
The group are called BPI, and supported by the rest of the UK creative industries, they asked Britain’s largest ISP to voluntarily deny public access The Pirate Bay. The resistance would seem futile, since it'd probably be too easy for the studios to get a court order to get BT to do it. But regardless of that, we hope they say no.
