With editor Bill Desowitz away at ILM getting the skinny on VFXWORLD’s STAR WARS: REVENGE OF THE SITH coverage, I’m giving my musings this week. Alain Bielik covers last weekend’s #1 box-office champ, SAHARA. Tara DiLullo talks with Tommy Tom about the vfx heavy Hong Kong import KUNG-FU HUSTLE. We also have two more installments in our continuing INSPIRED 3D book excerpt series.

Coming later in the week we will have a review of combustion 4 and Peter Plantec will report about the impact of realtime on the visual effects industry.
