	The Brothers Bloom. (from wiki) The Brothers Bloom is a American 2009 caper film written and directed by Rian Johnson and stars Mark Ruffalo, Adrien Brody, Rachel Weisz, Robbie Coltrane, Zachary Gordon, Nora Zehetner and Rinko Kikuchi. Shooting began in Belgrade, Serbia on March 19, 2007 and ended recently. The film is budgeted at $20 million. It will have a limited release on May 15, 2009, and expand into wide release two weeks later on May 29. Plot summary The world's greatest con men, the Brothers Bloom, have made a living off of swindling millionaires with complex scenarios of lust and intrigue. Stephen (Ruffalo) and Bloom (Brody), and their silent partner and sidekick Bang-Bang (Kikuchi) team up for one last job, conning beautiful heiress Penelope (Weisz) by taking her on a tour of the world and relieving her of US$2.5 million. On the way, Bloom (who has no first name in the entire movie) falls for Penelope, which complicates the con severely. Production The original script was titled "Penelope" after Weisz's character. The film's narration begins with a short poem: As far as con man stories go, I must have heard them all. Of ropers, grifters, faro fixers, tales drawn long and tall... but if one bears a bookmark in the confidence man's tome twould be that of Penelope, and of the Brothers Bloom." —Rian Johnson Director Rian Johnson's cousin, musician Nathan Johnson, will be composing the score for the film as he did on Johnson's directorial debut, Brick (2005). Starting in early May, Ain't It Cool News writer Quint has been providing set reports that detail the production of the film. The third and apparently final report was posted on May 25th. To prepare the role of Penelope, Rachel Weisz had to learn many tricks based on karate and skateboarding. Also, she learned breakdancing and various musical instruments for certain scenes.

	This looks like one of those movies with no middle ground. It'll either be brilliant or horrible. -----signature----- Don't be a fool, don't be blind Heart of mine If you can't do the time, don't do the crime Heart of mine

	I'm not sure The Brothers Bloom is any better. My first thought was "another adaptation of Joyce?" My second was, "Orlando has a brother?" -----signature----- Don't be a fool, don't be blind Heart of mine If you can't do the time, don't do the crime Heart of mine

	Well, this one would at least attract Orthodox Jews; "Penelope" wouldn't attract flies.

	Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. (from wiki) Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian is a 2009 American adventure comedy film and the sequel to the American adventure comedy film Night at the Museum. The film stars Ben Stiller, Dick Van Dyke, Robin Williams, Amy Adams, Owen Wilson, Rami Malek, Hank Azaria, Bill Hader, Ricky Gervais, Christopher Guest and Steve Coogan. It is set for release on May 22, 2009, and is rated PG for mild action and brief language. Plot When the Museum of Natural History is closed for upgrades and renovations, the museum pieces are moved into federal storage at the famous Washington Museums. The centerpiece of the film will be bringing to life the Smithsonian Institution, which houses the world's largest museum complex with more than 136 million items in its collections, ranging from the plane Amelia Earhart (Amy Adams) flew on her non-stop solo flight across the Atlantic and Al Capone's (Jon Bernthal) rap sheet and mug shot to Dorothy's ruby red slippers, Fonzie's jacket from Happy Days, the still from MASH and Archie Bunker's lounge chair from All in the Family. With a forwarded resume, Larry (Ben Stiller) becomes another caretaker at the Smithsonian, where Kahmunrah, an evil Pharaoh will come to life with the reestablishing of a tablet as a magical force in the museum bringing the old exhibits (Such as Theodore Roosevelt and Dexter) and new exhibits (like General Custer and Al Capone) back to life, and in conflict with each other. Cast Ben Stiller as Lawrence "Larry" Daley * Robin Williams as Theodore Roosevelt * Owen Wilson as Jedediah Smith * Steve Coogan as Octavius * Ricky Gervais as Dr. McPhee * Dick Van Dyke as Cecil Fredericks * Rami Malek as Ahkmenrah * Mickey Rooney as Gus * Brad Garrett as the voice of Easter Island Head * Jake Cherry as Nicholas "Nick" Daley * Patrick Gallagher as Attila the Hun * Mizuo Peck as Sacagawea * Pierfrancesco Favino as Christopher Columbus * Martin Christopher as Meriwether Lewis * Martin Sims as William Clark * Amy Adams as Amelia Earhart * Hank Azaria as Kah Mun Rah and other voices, including the Lincoln Memorial and The Thinker * Bill Hader as Gen.

The writers said that "there'll be existing characters and plenty of new ones." 20th Century Fox announced that the sequel, now titled Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, is scheduled for a Memorial Day weekend release on May 22, 2009. Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, and Dick Van Dyke will return for the sequel, with Shawn Levy back in the director's chair, and it will be the first major Hollywood feature to be filmed at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.. It is largely being filmed in Vancouver. Due to the nature of the complex story more historical figures are involved, such as Amelia Earhart, who will be portrayed by Amy Adams. A new villainous pharaoh will be played by Hank Azaria, who confirmed the return of Owen Wilson, Ricky Gervais, and Steve Coogan. The film was confirmed as shooting a scene at the Lincoln Memorial on the night of May 21, 2008. It was also shooting a scene at the American Museum of Natural History in New York on the nights of the eighteenth and twentieth of August 2008 where a red airplane could be seen. The trailer was released with Bedtime Stories, Yes Man and Marley & Me in December 2008, January 2009 with Bride Wars, and again in February and April 2009 with The Pink Panther 2 and Dragonball Evolution. Music The score to Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian was composed by Alan Silvestri, who reunites with director Shawn Levy after working together on the first film. Silvestri recorded his score with a 103-piece ensemble of the Hollywood Studio Symphony and an 18-person choir at the Newman Scoring Stage at 20th Century Fox.The soundtrack and closing credits will feature "Fly With Me" by the pop-rock boy band Jonas Brothers from their upcoming fourth album, Lines, Vines and Trying Times.

	The cast does look rather intriguing, but I'm sure they won't do much with it.

	The original was better than it had any right to be; I might catch this on DVD, if only to see Dick Van Dyke again. He was absolutely great in the original; charmed everyone else off the screen without half trying. -----signature----- Don't be a fool, don't be blind Heart of mine If you can't do the time, don't do the crime Heart of mine
