Joblo.com is a website that reviews and gives info about new movies that are either opening that week or still in production or just movie announcements. The best thing about this website is that the information it gets from "leaked sources" is often right. This is an excellent site that you should deffinitly check out if you want to know anything about upcoming movies or movie reviews or anything movie related.

Superferry: For Cheaper Inner-Island Transportation


The Superferry is one of the greatest things to ever hit Hawaii. The ferry is going to be four stories high and feature a cafe. The ferry has been in-development for about 3 years. The President of the Superferry, John Garibaldi, visited the vessel when it was still in the ship yard shed but now has seen it during its christening. This thing will cost as little as $42. The car fees will begin at $55 and commercial trucks will be paying as much as $1,050.

Another thing about the ferry is, even though it's great in so many ways it is also very open to anybody. People are worried that it will kill Humpback Whales, bring in criminals, and introduce invasive plants & animal species to parts of Hawaii that have so far avoided problems. On August 26th, the ship set sail to Kahului, Maui and when it docked in Maui there were protesters waiting for them. But that was nothing compared to what happened in Kauai. When the ship got there it was stopped at the entrence of the dock by three dozen surfers. It took the U.S. Coast Guard about 90 minutes to get all of them out of the way.

The company that runs the Superferry has stopped all the services in Kauai due to the protesters. The vessel is operating from Oahu to Maui and there will be a separate ferry for the Big Island to go to the other islands but that isn't until 2009.

For a little while he pretends to not know why he was there and had no idea that he killed his family. Then another couple of months later he wants to go home but the docter says he can't.

Indiana Jones On The Big Island


The Big Island of Hawaii is a great place to use for movie scenes. Recently the new Indiana Jones movie was on Hilo side filming a scene which is set in a South American rainforest. The filming began when the Big Island was preparing for Hurricane Beryl. But luckly it turned into a tropical storm. The major castmembers are made up of Shia LaBeouf, Cate Blanchett, Ray Winstone, Karen Allen, and of course Harrison Ford. Melissa Stubbs, a stunt double for both actresses, said that the script was being kept confidental, that even she did not know what they were doing that day until they arrived at the set. She also said that she didn't know how it turned out for whatever part in the movie it was for. The movie is once again directed by Steven Speilberg and produced by George Lucas.

This is a great chance for the Big Island to show the world what it has to offer. It has great scenery ,it shows that the island can keep up with the world of technology. It is also great because the money the Big Island will receive ($22 million to $45 million) will go straight to the local economy.

The plot nor the title of the film has surfaced yet but people have been speculating what the title might be. "Indiana Jones and The City Of Gods" is among the contenders of the title. The film will be released on May 22, 2008
