Listening to the themesongs on my website can be inspiring, bitter-sweet.
I was listening to the theme song to Broke Back Mountain, and it's hard to believe Heath Ledger is dead.
Listening to Here by the Window by Miranda Richardson comforts me, and in the softly stirring introspection flies
the doves of solace, and the caretakers of yesterday. And perhaps the hope and truth of tomorrow.

Diane Lane's new movie "Untraceable" Is Easily Traced
Official site

Diane Lane's new movie "Untraceable" might be easily traced to tv and movie plotlines, whether from an episode of Criminal Minds, Without a Trace, Homicide: Life on the Street and FeardotCom, but the reason is simply you use what is prevalent. And the Internet is what our society is highly dependent on, therefore it is relevant.

Diane Lane appears to be very well able to shoulder this film as she is a very fine actress. I remember growing up when my brothers watched her in films like Rumble Fish and The Outsiders, it was hard not to have a crush on her. On that note, Heather Langenkamp from the original Nightmare on Elm Street is going to be in a new movie soon, haven't seen her in awhile.

First of all this movie actually has an interesting message. That people are so given in to their sadistic and self centered natures that it is killing us, and even if we knew the truth we would not change.

Play any MMORPG like World of Warcraft and it's easy to see the general mentality around the world is simply, the more of a cruel and heartless person you are, the cooler people will think you are.

It's an abrasive and uncaring world we are creating daily, and though there are those who hope for change, who think we can be saved, the numbers are dwindling every day.

Our economy is in the gutter, the world is at our throats for how we treat them in their own countries, this isn't my soap box so I apologize.

All I can say is, Untraceable looks like it could be a very interesting movie, mostly just entertainment, but the underlying message while probably under developed, should not be ignored.

This is the world that we live in. Science Fiction and Horror, are not the makings of fantasy anymore. And most likely they never were.
