So while not about Disneyland, but just taking place there, this entire movie was shot in secret in the park. Escape from Tomorrow was described as a very David-Lynch-style family vacation, it looks like it is worth a watch:

For those of you who aren’t Bobby and probably don’t follow this as closely, you can watch this trailer for the new RoboCop movie at Yahoo.

Bunch o’ Randy’s
Here are some random ones:
- This new Ben Stiller movie, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, looks pretty cool.
- Speaking of trailers, check out this one for David O. Russel’s movie, American Hustle. Bunch of stars, dressed for the 70’s, with a Zeppelin song over it; looks like someone finally got his wish for another Blow.
- Spent money on a multi tool not know this one-handed bottle opener was available. Via Todd’s facebook.
- Was listening to a recent Nerdist Podcast and they brought up this Australian duo called Pnau, who did an album of Elton John recreations called Good Morning to the Light. Check out this awesome song called Sad.
- They also mentioned this reinterpretation of Bjork’s song Hyperballad by the Brodsky Quartet. Probably because I have tried and not been able to get real into Bjork, I think this Brodsky Quartet string version is better.

Irish Invasion
There have been a couple really good Irish exports recently, or I just found them all at the same time. Either way, check these out:
The Guard: In Bruges was a fantastic dark comedy with Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson. When I saw the trailer for The Guard, it looked like someone wanted Gleeson for the same type of role. While Don Cheedle isn’t as good sidekick/lead as Farrell, it is a really good movie.
Moone Boy: I have a theory that Hollywood tried to recreate the popular British show IT Crowd for the US and when that didn’t happen (like it often doesn’t), that same Hollywood tried to put a bunch of money behind the guys of that show instead. So then Chris O’Dowd is in Bridesmaids and that blows up, so he is all of a sudden is in a bunch of places. Though I watched the entire season of Family Tree, it is not nearly as good as his show Moone Boy. Hulu calls it an “Exclusive Hulu Series”, which apparently means they found it first from Irish tv.
Grabbers: I have only seen the trailer so far, but thought it was funny enough to post. It is a comedy/horror movie (hor-com?) that is “an alien-invasion story with a twist: Residents of a small Irish fishing town learn the only way they can fight off killer extra-terrestrials is by staying drunk.” Maybe I am just excited about The World’s End and grouping them together, but it looks interesting. Here is the trailer:
