WEEKEND BOX OFFICE:
Wondering what to see this weekend? There are tons of movies out there, but here is one you may want to consider. According to CNN

"Finding Neverland" is a beautifully crafted exploration of the many dimensions of the human heart. You can read the whole review at http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/Movies/11/19/review.neverland/index.html.

"Alexander" - Oliver Stone's sweeping epic, "Alexander," is a beautifully wrapped package, but open it up and there's nothing there.
The review can be found at:
http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/Movies/11/23/review.alexander/index.html

"SpongeBob SquarePants" - It's fun, but energy can't be sustained for feature length. SpongeBob SquarePants hopes to become the manager of a restaurant in his movie, but his plans are derailed.
Review at http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/Movies/11/19/review.spongebob.ap/index.html

"National Treasure" - Worthless 'National Treasure'. Not much fun deciphering car chases and gunplay.
Review at http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/Movies/11/18/review.nationaltreasure.ap/index.html

CRUSADE DVD - COMING DECEMBER 7

Crusade Warner Bros Home Video has announced that the Babylon 5 spinoff, Crusade will hit DVD on December 7. The series stars Peter Woodward, Gary Cole, Marjean Holden, Tracy Scoggins, Daniel Dae Kim, David Allen Brooks and Carrie Dobro. This 13 episode series (576 mins) will be released in a 4 disc set, and carries a suggested price of $59.98 US. It'll contain an English Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track, along with English, French and Spanish subtitles. The video will be presented in the original aspect ratio: 1.33:1.

For those of you not familiar with CRUSADE, here is a synopsis of the plot:
In 2267 the Earth is quarantined, having been infected with a deadly plague by an attacking alien force. Scientists estimate that it will kill every inhabitant within 5 years, not nearly enough time for a cure to be developed. So the planet's only hope lies with the Excalibur, an advanced prototype starship sent out to search ancient alien ruins for their former inhabitant's secrets, hoping that somewhere out there a cure can be found.

For more information on the BABYLON 5 and CRUSADE DVDs, go to Babylon 5 DVDs Page.

MAIL FOR CAST AND CREW

Here's a recent note from JMS on the subject:

Just an FYI to those who've been using the Ventura Blvd. mail drop for fan mail to actors....

As mentioned before, we're phasing out the forwarding of fan mail because we a) don't have the resources, complicated by b) the actors have scattered to the four winds, and it makes it very difficult to get everything to everybody in a timely fashion.

So, having provided prior notice...fan mail to actors coming to the Ventura Blvd. mail drop will be sent back. Mail to actors should be sent via their official fan clubs. I will still be taking mail there, since it's my mailbox, but that's it.

Just so's y'all know and save a few bucks on postage and returns.
