Dazed and confused: Criterion DVD

Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused is, for my money, not only the director's best to date but perhaps the greatest teen movie ever. It's one of those rare movies that make you wish you were actually 'there'; in this case the last day of a Texas high school in the summer of 1976.
The film [...]

New Miami Vice Trailer

Check out the new trailer; guns, boats, cars and women. It's a shame it has that horrible rap-rock over the top of it, but still, on visuals alone I can't wait to see this on the big screen. Available over on the apple site here

Simpson, Alba, “football”, Underwear.

File under 'A', for 'Awesometown'. The award for movie pitch of the year has already gone too 'Snakes on a Plane', but this is coming in a close second.

This is the poster, but there's a cooler image grabbed from some Cannes press materials (it's premiereing at Cannes) over at Twitchfilm [...]

I've been waiting to see the hot new property 'Brick' for a while now, after hearing a lot of good buzz from the states about 'this year's Donnie Darko' (whatever that means… I think they mean breakout indie film) I was gagging to take a look at it.
Brick is a modern day Humphrey Bogart film, [...]

Stills from new Daft Punk ‘Feature’

It's difficult to know what classes as movie news. Daft Punks previous cinematic outing 'Interstellar 5555' was basically a 65 minute musical, it featured no dialogue but told a story through the visuals set to various tracks from Daft Punk's 'Discovery' Album. It's highly worth checking out if you've never seen it (It was animated [...]
