In its own haunting way, Max Payne is beautiful to watch. I knew that director John Moore had utilized some new digital technology while filming, but I didn't quite expect the movie as a whole to be so visually mesmerizing. This world never strays from its grainy state, everything awash in a blue-gray sheen — except for striking spots of bright red, and sometimes twinkly orange sparks — and there is near-constant precipitation usually large snowflakes swirling through icy air.

Time to weigh in on one of this weekend's new releases, the darkly stylized Max Payne. Based on a video game, the story follows our hero Max Payne as he tries to hunt down the people who killed his wife and child, but every step he takes towards solving their murders only brings up more questions and lead him into a sinister world.
Are you familiar with the video game?

Max Payne may be an action packed video game come to life, but it was all glamor at last night's LA premiere. Mark Wahlberg may not have loved his SNL skewering, but he looked to be in great spirits with Rhea out on the red carpet for the first time since recently giving birth. The two have been together for years but according to Mark they're looking to finally tie the knot next August.

Video game-turned-movie Max Payne (out November 14 in the UK) looks pretty angsty, dark and spooky.
Mark Wahlberg plays DEA (drugs enforcement administration) agent Max, who is looking to avenge the deaths of his family members. Forgetting Sarah Marshall's Mila Kunis costars as an assassin who is also looking to avenge her sister's death.

Greetings from sunny San Diego! And I'm not kidding about the sunny: Though I'll be spending most of the weekend indoors, I at least got to bask in the rays (or, OK, sweat next to other sweaty people) while waiting in line for this morning's 20th Century Fox panels.
Frankly, it's been a pretty insane trip so far.
